Title: Vikings - Bennett's return imminent
Post by StegRock on Oct 22^nd, 2003, 9:03pm

He's definitely back on the mend! Here's what it says on "the Gridiron Newsstand":

So, my fellow Gridironers, what does this do to the respective fantasy values of Moe Williams and Onterrio Smith?

Good news! There have been a 1/2 dozen plays minimum this year where Moe has broken into the secondary and been caught from behind. 80% of those Bennett would've take to the house. His return will really elevate the Viking running game.

I don't think this really affects OSmith much. He'll still see the 4-5 rushes and 3-4 receptions. Moe is the one that gets relegated to goal-line situations.

If you've been hanging on to OSmith waiting for him to break out, trade or drop him, cuz he isn't going to this year IMO.

Moe is strictly a Goalline Vulture by Thanksgiving.

GO VIKES!

Just to think with Bennett coming back from injury and his lack of al of game time.....is he getting through these holes to begin with?

Just curious.

You mean will he see the holes and be able to react in time? Three weeks of practice and a couple games should get him back in shape enough to be effective. I'd say Week10@SD or Week11@OAK will be the breakout week for him.

GO VIKES!
