47. DeAngelo Williams (Carolina Panthers)
48. Mike Anderson (Baltimore Ravens)
49. Ron Dayne (Denver Broncos)
50. Najeh Davenport (Green Bay Packers) Sleepers: Lamont Jordan, Deuce McAllister, Michael Pittman
(Coming off a disappointing season, I expect Jordan to bounce back and have a strong year with a new QB and new coach. McAllister was a Pro-Bowl running back before last year’s injury; Bush isn’t going to get every single carry for the Saints, so I wouldn’t overlook McAllister. Pittman is going to see some time in Tampa, especially if the Cadillac breaks down, which many people expect just might happen.) Busts: Brian Westbrook, Mike Bell, & Cedric Benson
(I could be wrong about Westbrook, but I’m not sold on the Eagles, or Westbrook’s health being 100%. It’s a nice story for Mike Bell in becoming named the #1 RB, but let’s get real. It’s still August and Tatum Bell is still going to get his carries. When has Cedric Benson not been a bust for fantasy owners?) Best Values: Rudi Johnson & Steven Jackson
(Johnson has quietly put up back to back years of at least 1,400 yards and 12 TD’s. This guy is definitely underrated, and will only improve as his team improves. Entering his third year in the league, this is going to be a big year for Jackson. With Marshall Faulk completely out of the picture at this point, this will be Jackson’s season.) Break-Out Year: Ronnie Brown
(Ronnie Brown was impressive when given the ball last year for the Dolphins. With Ricky Williams out of the picture entirely, Brown will be the featured back in the offense for Nick Saban and company. With a legit QB in Culpepper, the Dolphins will be for real, so will Brown.) The New York Sports HQ will be covering issues regarding professional baseball, football, hockey, and basketball. Under special circumstances, we will also be covering other sports, such as golf, soccer, auto racing, and horse racing. We will provide insight, up to date news, opinion pieces, and all sorts of other information regarding the New York Sports world. http://www.nysportshq.com/ |
