Kevin Ogletree Is Your First Fantasy Surprise Of The Season

By a show of hands, how many of you drafted Kevin Ogletree to your make believe football team this season? What’s that? None of you? That’s what I thought. But even though none of you purported savants drafted Kevin, after the Cowboys’ third wide receiver’s performance last night, he could have you spying those league waiver wires for the first time this season.

Kevin Ogletree came out of nowhere to record 8 receptions, 114 yards, and two touchdowns. Apparently Romo tried damn hard to get Ogletree that third spot on the depth chart, so it seems like it’s paid off in the short-term.

Before you hit that waiver wire, though, remember the Boys just won 24-17 against a Giants team on their fifth-string cornerback for the better part of the game. Their linebacker contingent is also pretty average to begin with. And of course, this is just one game. But in scoring his first two career touchdowns Wednesday night against the defending Super Bowl champs, Olgetree made a fine case for a roster spot on your fantasy team.
