Jerome Harrison: Underwhelming to Undrafted Fantasy Keeper?

Monday, December 21st, 2009

You know you’re poor at Fantasy Football when your team’s most harrowing performance of the year comes from a middling running back in Week 15 of the NFL Season, or as far as your fantasy team is concerned – the second round robin round of the consolation ladder. Also, you left this player on your bench (where he belonged for most of the season).

Mostly underwhelming all year, Jerome Harrison was truly unstoppable yesterday in the Browns’ win over Kansas City, grabbing 286 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Even more impressive, he shattered Jim Brown’s previous team record of 237 yds. Most impressive, that’s 52 fantasy points. As such, a performance of this magnitude can’t help but make me question: undrafted keeper in 2010?

Conflicted isn’t the right word, but it’s the first word that comes to mind.

Every game is this game.

And while we’re throwing some jabs the Lions way, fast forward four days in the future from their Doofus Bowl against the Browns…

This Thanksgiving marks the 5th anniversary of Detroit retiring Barry Sanders #20 – and it’s been at least that long since they should be allowed to host a Thanksgiving Day NFL football game. Since that 2004 game that honored Sanders, Detroit is 0-5 on Thanksgiving and has been outscored 179 – 62 by their opponents. The last time Detroit won on Thanksgiving was in 2003 against Green Bay, the team they face this year as a matter of fact. Also, the team that beat them 26-0 in Week 6.

The Thanksgiving games have been been a league tradition since 1920, and Detroit has been a host since 1934. However, what’s more important – league tradition or league integrity?

I’m not a league official, I’m just a guy who asks questions.
