    Fantasy Football Big Doings

    Brandon Tate could out bomb Randy Moss, Marshawn Lynch is no C.J. Spiller &Steelers run first

    Jim Beviglia
    Oct 10, 2010 | 1:30 am
    • Moss is back in Vikings purple, but he still won't be as great as his fantasyfootball owners expected.
    • Brandon Tate is set to become a prime target with Randy Moss in Minnesota.
    • Brett Favre will be better with Moss, but not great.

    I have a colleague who, when a lot of events are taking place where we work, is inordinately fond of the phrase, “There’s big doings going on." If you ask me, this makes him sound a little like Jed Clampett, but, in truth, that’s the only way I know how to describe the tumultuous events of the last few days of comings and goings in the NFL.

    Here are look at three of those “doings” and their impact on the wild and wacky world of fantasy football.

     RANDY MOSS GETS TRADED TO THE VIKINGS: As a Vikings fan, I fully realize that the return of Moss means that all the people who hate us for Brett Favre now have another reason to despise us. But what does it all mean for fantasy purposes?

    Well, first of all, it should help Favre, who’s been woeful so far this season, at least get to borderline fantasy starter status now that he finally has a big body who can stretch the field. It also should help Percy Harvin, if healthy, get a little more room to be a neat little flex option. Just don’t go expecting the Moss of old; even with the change of scenery, he should perform at a level a little lower than what he was actually drafted. Very good, but no longer elite.

    Don’t expect a big drop-off from Tom Brady either now that Moss is no longer a Patriot; he’ll just spread the ball around a little more. Wes Welker will see his targets increase but will also see more defensive scrutiny, so he probably zeroes out as well. Two guys to watch are Aaron Hernandez and Brandon Tate.

    The former is a rookie tight end who has already been putting up starter-caliber numbers and could quickly ascend into rarefied air at his position now. The latter takes Moss’ spot in the lineup and should be the recipient of the bombs once meant for Randy, so scoop him up on the waiver wire if you still can.

     MARSHAWN LYNCH GETS TRADED TO THE SEAHAWKS: Temper all expectations of Lynch suddenly becoming a top-notch fantasy runner now that he’s cleared for playing time. The Seahawk offensive line is pretty pitiful, and it’s not like he’s going to be a prime position to score a lot of touchdowns in that offense.

    You also need to remember that this is the same Lynch who managed to lose his starting job to the singularly uninspiring Fred Jackson, so why he should suddenly become a hero with a change of scenery is beyond me.

    In actuality, the hidden beneficiary in this trade is Bills rookie C.J. Spiller. Trading Lynch seems to indicate that Spiller must be progressing well enough to warrant increased playing time. He’s a guy who can get tons of yards with just a few touches, and, even in the Bills’ anemic attack, that can really pay fantasy dividends. Grab him now before his value skyrockets.

     BEN ROETHLISBERGER RETURNS TO THE STEELERS: The impact here will be delayed just a bit since the Steelers have a bye this week.

    When the Steelers line up next Sunday with Big Ben under center, expect to see a revived passing offense. And, for once, that doesn’t automatically mean that Hines Ward is the biggest beneficiary. Instead, look for a breakout by second-year receiver Mike Wallace. His big-play ability was hamstrung by the Steelers’ backup quarterbacks, but should thrive with Roethlisberger’s big arm.

    As for Ben himself, he was likely stashed away on the bench by prudent owners in anticipation of his return. The Steelers are having so much success running the ball early in the season that it’s likely he’ll throw less than in the past few seasons. But that outstanding defense will likely set him up for plenty of touchdown-pass opportunities, meaning he’s a solid option from this point on as a matchup play against weaker defenses.

    Movie Review

    'I Know What You Did Last Summer' reboot lacks energy or thrills

    Sarah Pidgeon, Madelyn Cline and Chase Sui Wonders in I Know What You Did Last Summer.

    When the original I Know What You Did Last Summer came out in 1997, it was riding the coattails of Scream, which came out in 1996. Like that film, it featured hot young actors of the time, albeit with a story that was much more standard than the inventive Scream. Still, it made enough of an impact for some studio executive to think it was worth reviving nearly 30 years later with its own legacy-quel.

    In the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, a group of five high school friends — Danica (Madelyn Cline), Ava (Chase Sui Wonders), Milo (Jonah Hauer-King), Teddy (Tyriq Withers), and Stevie (Sarah Pidgeon) — have reunited at the engagement party for Danica and Teddy on the 4th of July. While on an impromptu trip to watch fireworks on a twisty road in the nearby hills, Teddy goofs off in the middle of the road, causing a truck to swerve and drive off the cliff.

    A year later, having sworn to each other to not speak of the accident to anybody, they start getting stalked by a mysterious person in a fisherman’s slicker carrying a hook. With Teddy’s rich father, Grant (Billy Campbell), actively trying to cover up what his son did (as well as the fallout), it’s up to the group to figure out who is coming after them and how to stop that person.

    Written and directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, and co-written by Sam Lansky, the film doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel; in fact, it barely builds something that can roll. It might just be the laziest and most incompetent attempt to capitalize on an existing piece of intellectual property. There is almost zero effort put into establishing a connection between the members of the friend group, making them feel like strangers for the entire film.

    It doesn’t help that the young male actors in the film — which grows to include Wyatt (Joshua Orpin), a new fiance for Danica — serve no purpose other than to be generically good-looking. The most impactful of the men in the film is the returning Freddie Prinze, Jr., who — along with Jennifer Love Hewitt — has his old character from the first two films shoehorned into the new story. The filmmakers undercut any good feelings from their return by giving them hardly anything to do and then having Hewitt deliver the line, “Nostalgia is overrated.”

    The film as a whole never has a sense of momentum. The inciting incident is so tame — they even attempt to save the driver before the truck goes off the cliff — that the guilt they feel and the anger of the person going after them doesn’t feel warranted. Once the attacks start, it is shocking at how low-energy the sequences are, providing no sense of suspense or thrills. The filmmakers resort to the lamest of horror movie tropes, turning the film into a paint-by-numbers affair.

    Cline (one of the stars of Netflix’s Outer Banks) and Wonders (The Studio on Apple TV+, Bodies Bodies Bodies) are the clear stars of the film, but their characters are made into inert scream queens, negating any acting talent they possess. Hauer-King, Withers, and Pidgeon don’t bring anything interesting to their characters, existing merely to have someone else for the killer to go after.

    Even the worst films can have some kind of redeeming value if you look hard enough, but the only thing I Know What You Did Last Summer has to offer is that it becomes so comically bad by the end that you can’t help but laugh at its ineptitude. Both fans of the original and fans of horror movies in general will feel cheated by the experience.

    I Know What You Did Last Summer opens in theaters on July 18.
