If you've been following football this year, you've likely been impressed with the many pleasant surprises we've seen in the fantasy football world so far. While it's true that some of the players we expected a lot out of have done next to nothing so far, there are those players who had no expectations, yet they're tearing things up in 2009.
It's interesting how it all works, but that's what we get when it comes to the wild world of fantasy football. Without further ado, here are a few players who've been very pleasant surprises so far through the first part of the season. These are just a few of the many great overachievers we've witnessed thus far.
Pierre Garcon. This Indianapolis Colts wide receiver has turned from a no name to a bona fide wide receiver in a matter of weeks. No one even knew who he was, and now he's catching touchdowns left and right.
Garcon has been magnificent in filling the void left by Anthony Gonzalez, and Peyton Manning seems to be building the chemistry between the two by the week. You wonder why the Colts are so good this year, and you have to acknowledge the fact that Garcon partly responsible.
Next on the list is Cedric Benson, amazingly one of the top running backs in football through the first six weeks of the season. Benson had never done anything meaningful before 2009, but now he looks great.
With a reinvigorated offense in Cincinnati, Benson has been the perfect complement to Carson Palmer's passing game and the Bengals have a winning record as a result.
Matt Schaub. Who would have thought that Matt Schaub would be the second highest fantasy points scorer through the first 5 games of the season, only behind Peyton Manning?
Not I, said the fantasy football GM. Schaub has been brilliant and was a steal in all drafts.
