LaDainian Tomlinson did not live up to his top two (along with AP) draft status last year. He “only” had 1,110 rushing yards and 11 TDs. Though, he did add 426 receiving yards with a TD to give him 1,536 total yards and 12 total TDs. Despite the good numbers, it’s not ...Published on: 27th July, 2009
Michael Turner more than proved he was capable of stepping out of LaDainian Tomlinson's shadow to be a feature back. Early in the season, he was inconsistent. He would dominate bad defenses such as Detroit, Kansas City, Green Bay, Oakland, and Denver and get bottled up by good ones such ...Published on: 27th July, 2009
Adrian Peterson gave the Sophomore Slump a vicious stiff arm as he won the NFL Rushing Title in 2008. He ran for 1760 yards on 363 carries (4.8) with 10 TDs. He added 21 receptions for 125 yards, topped the 100-yard mark 10 times, and was held to fewer than 76 ...Published on: 24th July, 2009
Luke McCown, Tampa Bay—If McCown can win the starting gig in Tampa Bay he could put up decent numbers. He has a couple of nice targets in Antonio Bryant and Kellen Winslow Jr. Unfortunately he doesn’t have any easy matchups during the bye weeks. He faces New Orleans in Weeks 11 ...Published on: 23rd July, 2009
Eli Manning I like Eli more as a reality QB than a fantasy one. Even with Derrick Ward's departure, this is still a run-first team. Without a clear No. 1 WR, it’s hard to consider Eli anything more than a backup fantasy QB, especially given the swirling winds he often plays ...Published on: 22nd July, 2009
Maybe Matt Cassel was a product of the New England system last year. To do what he did under those circumstances showed moxie, especially when you consider how long it’s been since he was a starting quarterback. Fortunately for Cassel, he will be operating another pass-friendly system. Losing Tony Gonzalez ...Published on: 22nd July, 2009
Matt Hasselbeck had a disappointing 2008 season that saw him throw for just 1216 yards with five touchdowns and 10 interceptions. There Seahawks season was also marred by wide receiver injuries. Things are looking up though with the arrival of T.J. Houshmandzadeh from Cincinnati. Housh is the most reliable wide ...Published on: 22nd July, 2009
Big Ben finds himself in the news for the wrong reasons. I’m not going to weigh in on his situation because I don’t have the information and don’t want to jump to conclusions. Obviously his situation has a strong bearing on his fantasy value. If he is suspended or incarcerated he will ...Published on: 22nd July, 2009
Jay Cutler had a quiet offseason, remaining out of the spotlight while he worked on his craft. In reality, he was the most visible QB other than Brett Favre. He comes to Chicago with a lot to prove. He is arguably the best QB they’ve had since the days of Sid ...Published on: 22nd July, 2009
Carson Palmer is one of the more difficult players to predict this year. He is coming of an elbow injury, his top WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh split for the riches in Seattle, and his obnoxious former top WR Chad Ochocinco basically admitted he phoned in the 2008 season. However, when he’s healthy Palmer ...
