Marco Scutaro (TOR)- If the Blue Jays plan to stay in the AL East race, they will need backup shortstop Marco Scutaro to produce. With both David Eckstein and John McDonald on the disabled list, Scutaro has a very important task in front of him. Look for Marco to get more at-bats (many more) until one of the other two shortstops return. To read the rest, click here
12 Anquan Boldin: Playing alongside Larry Fitzgerald is no easy task, but Boldin has proven that he can. Boldin had one more touchdown than Fitzgerald, but has significantly less yards in 853. When Fitzgerald is getting the attention Boldin is often ignored, but so much the better for fantasy owners...
17 Roy Williams: His numbers slipped in 2007, and he only amassed 836 yards and 5 touchdowns. Though he didn’t play the last 4 games of the season, he showed how ineffective he can be. He dropped a league high 8 passes and can’t be relied on to provide a consistent outing each week. It is shaky to have him in ...
To read the rest, click here...1. Tom Brady. The #1 consensus QB pick in 2008 after a career season in which he passed for 4,806 yards and was responsible for an astonishing 50 TDs. He lost Stallworth (Whom didn’t have a good year anyhow – 697 yards & 3 TDs), but Gaffney is ready to replace him. Randy Moss and Welker are still there to receive his passes and solidify his top-rank. Even a 75% repetition of last years’ numbers will warrant him the top pick at the position.
2. Peyton Manning. His good, but diminished, production of 4,040 yards (2nd career-lowest) and 31 scores in 2007 was shadowed only by Tom Brady’s (and a few others) exceptional season. He may fall to the second round of drafts this year and Tony Romo might even be taken ahead of him in some of them. Peyton is still a first tier QB by all means. His fantasy numbers may suffer because of the Colts' "Cruise control" mode they adopted last year by controlling the clock via the running game and use the aerial attack only if needed. Missing favorite target Marvin Harrison for a handful of games contributed to his "dipping" numbers.
3. Tony Romo. Last year’s sleeper, who went from posting 2,903 yards – 19 TDs in 2006 to accumulate 4,211 yards & 36 TDs in 2007, is now ready to be a top-5 selection as long as Terrell Owens (34-years old) and Witten continue to shine.
4. Drew Brees. After a slow ’07 seasons start, he regrouped and produced as advertised. It was too late though and fantasy owners will be scared of another ’08 slow start. Take advantage of that and fly with him. After all, he managed to produce career-highs in yards (4,428), TDs (28), YPG (276.8) and completed 67.6% of his passes. The fact that his main target, Marques Colston will be a “Magical” 3rd-year WR next season will only increase his upside.
5. Carson Palmer. He endured an up and down ’07 season causing his stock to fall a little. His final 2007 stats showed him throw for career-highs 4,131 yards, 575 pass attempted, 373 completed, 258.2 Ypg and five 300-yard games, but also saw him toss 20 interceptions, another career-high. Troubled WR Chris Henry (whom provided some protection for the other WRs, when eligible to play) is finally out of Cincinnati, Chad Johnson is steadily becoming a locker room distraction and his best 2007 receiving weapon T.J. Houshmandzadeh will be a free agent at the end of this season, raising concerns among all parties involved. However, the talent is still there for the fifth-year player to have another productive season especially with RB
