WR Aldrick Robinson, Southern Methodist
If you had the opportunity to watch the Friday night game between Southern Methodist and Rice, you probably noticed that the run-and-shoot offense is in full gear for the Mustangs. Unfortunately, the offensive execution is still not quite at the level it was at Hawaii, but that will come. This is a team that is going to pass the ball early and often. Therefore, Aldrick Robinson is a player fantasy owners should consider picking up this week. In the first week of the season, Robinson caught seven passes for 91 yards and two touchdowns. Robinson is not a very big receiver at 5-10, 170 pounds, but he possesses great speed and has the ability to separate from defenders down the field. The sophomore wide receiver also received a great deal of praise from Coach June Jones in the preseason and off-season camps and looks poised to be a reliable fantasy contributor in 2008. While there might be some inconsistencies in this offense for the first several weeks of the season, Robinson does have some solid value.
