Raiders vs 49ers

NFL Pre-Season Week 2 Oakland vs San Francisco  

COLD:  Oakland QB Jason Campbell but this is a bit misunderstood because he was knocked out of the game with a concussion.  Cambell’s overall play was very good however his protection was concerning. 

Campbell should lose a week of playing due to the league concussion rules and that sets him back two weeks. 

HOT: I have two receivers in this category OAK Darrius Heyward-Bey and SF Braylon Edwards.  They made the most of their receptions and both showed amazing seperation from the defensive secondary.

SLEEPER: Both teams honestly lack sleepers due to the lack of depth on both rosters but if I have to choose a sleeper…SF receiver Josh Morgan looks like a safe final pick of you draft.

Saints vs 49ers

NFL Pre-Season Week 1 New Orleans vs San Francisco 

Fantasy Analysis:

The 49ers allowed 6 sacks in the first half several slamming starting QB Alex Smith.  However RB Frank Gore was productive when asked to carry the ball averaging 5 yards a carry on 4 attempts.

Another RB who showed positive signs was Saints rookie Mark Ingram averaging 3.8 yards a carry and one that was a 14 yard dart for a TD.

Fellow Saints RB Pierre Thomas was a dismal 4 attempts for only 8 yards rushing.  Thomas a veteran RB with the Saints is a huge question mark this year after spending most of 2010 out with injury.

Free agent and former Jet Braylon Edwards was on the radar catching one pass for 12 yards and was targeted twice in the game.  Always good to see newly acquired players involved in the game plan.  

Last but not least Saints QB Drew Brees did play with limited snaps.
