With all the hype circling college football, most people who are not playing fantasy football probably have not taken an interest in the NFL season this far. With it being only week six, there have been a few shocking developments in the season so far. For example, Seattle is starting to look like the old Seahawks again and New England is undefeated and is starting to resemble the undefeated 2007 team.
Some teams are undefeated but are not making a big impact such as the Broncos. Even the Panthers and Falcons look good right now in the youth of a long football season. That is especially surprising seeing that they both had difficulties last year.
The most surprising start of the season in the NFL is the Cincinnati Bengals. With newly paid quarterback, Andy Dalton, and young, versatile wide receiver A.J. Green, this duo looks promising. Also, tight end Tyler Eifert is looking like the Cincinnati Bengals’ edition of Rob Gronkowski for the New England Patriots.
If you have either Andy Dalton or A.J. Green in your fantasy lineup, then you should already know what kind of season they are having. Dalton has thrown over 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns this season and only accounted for two interceptions. That is a major improvement from last season, but the question is, can he finish the year like that?
The Bengals are infamously known for having a terrific regular season but not having the same success in the playoffs.
Dalton has been in the league for five years and his lack of playoff victories has been a consistent knock on his game. In fact, Andy Dalton has led the Bengals to the playoffs every year since he took the helm but has been unable to close the deal.
It will be interesting to see how the season continues, with the usual playoff staples like the Seahawks and 49ers not producing. There is still much of the season left and it is definitely way too early to tell which teams will face off in the Super Bowl.
Still an early start is crucial to success in the NFL, as injuries could plague a team any given week. It is important to see who is doing well so far in the season so fans will have a good estimation of who will square off in Santa Clara, California, in February for Super Bowl 50.
