Matt Cassel-QB- Chiefs

admin — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:21:23 +0000

Chiefs signed QB Matt Cassel to a six-year, $63 million contract, including $28 million guaranteed and $40.5 million in the first three seasons.
The Chiefs would’ve been on the hook for an insane $14.651M salary had Cassel played his first season in Kansas City with no extension. Cassel, 27, has been a starter for one year of his life since high school. Committing top-five QB money (and ironically, more than Tom Brady makes) to Cassel is an enormous risk, but the Chiefs believe offensive guru Todd Haley can harness his solid all-around skill set. We think it’s a risk worth taking, but the contract could haunt the franchise for years if it goes sour.

Derrick Ward-RB- Buccaneers

According to FOXSports’ John Czarnecki, “everyone knows” that Derrick Ward will be the Bucs’ featured offensive player this season.
We do know Ward has every-down ability as a receiver, inside runner, and pass protector. We also know he makes more money and is likely to get the ball more than than Earnest Graham. We just don’t know who’s going to get goal-line carries. Regardless, Ward’s late fifth-round ADP sure seems low.

Fred Taylor-RB- Patriots

Beat reporter Mike Reiss expects Fred Taylor to get the second most snaps in the Patriots’ backfield this season, behind only Kevin Faulk.
Even if Faulk plays more, Taylor will probably start. It remains to be seen if he’ll be used in short yardage, where Taylor was behind Maurice Jones-Drew in Jacksonville. Either way, Reiss expects the Pats to ride the “hot hand.”

Dennis Northcutt-WR- Lions

New Lions slot receiver Dennis Northcutt is unlikely to face NFL discipline stemming from an incident at a nightclub last May.
He was accused of arranging for someone to hit his pregnant girlfriend in the face, but was never charged and avoided legal trial. “Civil cases generally are not reviewed under the conduct policy,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.

Todays Fantasy Football Sleeper “BUST”

admin — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 00:46:58 +0000

Todays Bust:

Cedric Benson, CIN RB

Though running backs coach Jim Anderson says that Benson’s attitude
and work ethic have been terrific since signing with the Bengals, I
still call him out as this weeks bust. Number one, he’s just not
fast enough, Number Two, well sorry to say it but his work ethic
and attitude have never had a positive impact on his play have
they? And Number Three, Cedric Benson has got a 2-year contract now and to me that’s gonna
make him a little too comfortable for my liking.

Will You Draft A RB First?

admin — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:07:43 +0000

Over the years drafting a RB for your first 2 picks has been common knowledge
around the Fantasy Leagues… Times are changing though and the trends are leaning away from the RB, RB theory these days. I just don’t think its an automatic first running backs choice anymore. Now that’s not to say that if I had a pick in the top 4 picks this year that I wouldn’t choose a RB because I would, but come second pick it really is going to be a situation by situation option here. There are Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers that can be taken second and put up numbers equal to or more then some of the Running Backs going in the second round.
NOTE: Running back in 95% of leagues is still the most important position in fantasy football and some advice to head by, “You can never have to many running backs”
