I know this is late, but I'm hooked on NCAA Football 2004. At least my reason was something sports-related. Anyway, on to this week's Freaks.

This week there weren't too many amazing performances, just plenty of solid ones with one standout.

The Freak of the Week is, of all positions, a tight end. Sure, you expect a top tight end to have a great day by catching 2 TDs. Indianapolis' Reggie Wayne did much more than that. He not only caught 2 TDs, but snagged 10 balls for 141 yds. Just what the Colts' opponents need is another big play guy to defend against.

At the wide out spot, the Freak was Houston's Andre Johnson. He caught 7 passes for 102 yds and 2 TDs in a losing effort against Kansas City.

Now we go to the running back Freak, but we don't have to go far from Mr. Johnson. Priest Holmes beats Ricky Williams this week. KC gave him the ball, and he did what he does best: score touchdowns. Against Houston, he racked up 89 rushing yds, 67 receiving yds, and 2 TDs. Ricky Williams tried his best to be a freak by rushing for 153 yds and 1 TD against Buffalo, but one fumble gives Priest his first Freak of the Week. Ricky, keep working hard and hang on to that ball better.

Of all the QBs that played this weekend, only Patrick Ramsey passed for more than 300 yds (348). He also tossed 2 TDs. Does that mean he becomes a two-time Freak? Not necessarily. You see, Ramsey also threw one interception, a definite no-no for Freak-wannabes. In that same game, the Giants' Kerry Collins threw for 3 TDs along with a solid 276 yds. But critical to this Freak judge, Collins had zero interceptions. He didn't hurt his team or his fantasy owners. One more TD plus one less interception gives Collins his first Freak and the Giants their second.

Picking kickers are usually pretty easy. Kick a bunch of field goals and you've got a good shot at being a Freak. Because of the defensive battle (until the end) in San Francisco, 49ers' kicker Owen Pochman (who?) launched 4 field goals through the uprights. That's great for fantasy owners of Pochman and good enough to give him a Freak.

I left the toughest decision to the end. Kansas City's defense gave up 14 points to Houston. They got one sack, 2 interceptions, and scored a TD. But the Freak is going to Miami. Against Buffalo they gave up only 7 points while getting 4 sacks, 3 interceptions, and only allowing 41 net rushing yards. That's one tough defense. And think, Miami was on the waiver wires of my league this week. Someone snatched them up and got a great game from them.

Wayne, Johnson, Holmes, Collins, and the Dolphins defense, you are the privileged few who have earned the prestigious Freak of the Week. This is something you can tell you grandchildren and create myths for decendants thousands of years in the future. Just remember to always mention SportsBlog.org.
