Wow. Did Lance Long just become fantasy football relevant?

From Matthew Berry's latest column on ESPN.com

Lance Long, WR, Chiefs (0 percent): Hah! Thought I'd put Chris Chambers (27 percent) here, didn't you? In that case, you probably skipped the intro. You might want to go back and read it, it's got actual football in it and no stalkable celebrities are mentioned. (Sorry, Alanis.) Well, obviously, after Chambers' two-touchdown performance on Sunday, we have to discuss him, but I actually like Long a little more. Long used to be with the Arizona Cardinals, so he is familiar with Todd Haley's playbook and clearly, Haley wanted him (he came over after Haley became the Chiefs' head coach) and in the two games that Long has been active, he has 16 targets. He snatched eight catches for 74 yards last Sunday. He's playing in the slot (the Steve Breaston role in the Cardinals' offense) and I don't think you can count on Chris Chambers to repeat that kind of production, well, ever. Does Chambers warrant a pickup? I guess so, in deeper leagues, but Long is the guy I am more interested in, due to opportunity and role in the offense.

Yep... Read that earlier.

Berry has been saying for a few weeks that he thought Long was relevant in deeper leagues.

I would love for there to be some Dawgs that were Fantasy relevant.

- Excluding J-Rock, Donald Lee and maybe a couple other sleepers...
