What I said in 2008 ... Premiere Passer : Tom Brady, New England Patriots Last year the Tom Brady to Randy Moss connection ruled fantasy football as the New England offense set new records for single season scoring, single season passing touchdowns, and single season receiving touchdowns. For years Tom Brady single-handedly willed the Patriots to victories with a very average, smurf-like, receiving corps that included the likes of Deion Branch, David Patten and Bethel Johnson; all hovering around the six foot mark. In 2007, Brady's patience was finally awarded when the Patriots broke the bank to retool their offense by bringing in Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, and Wes Welker. Brady responded with the best statistical season of his career, terrorizing opponents as he posted 4,806 yards and 50 touchdowns with only eight interceptions. Brady and Co. will continue their statistical domination of NFL defenses as the core of the 2007 offensive unit will return, minus Donte Stallworth. Lawrence Maroney will also be able keep defenses honest as he's recovered from the nagging injuries that plagued his 2007 season. Most Overrated Quarterback: Jon Kitna Detroit Lions Jon Kitna is on a short leash in the Motor City. Mike Martz, his biggest supporter, is now in San Francisco and the journeyman Kitna is forced to pick up the pieces. Although posting very respectable numbers in 2007 (4,068 yards, 18 TD's), the installation of a new offense, the reluctance on the part of Matt Millen to address their grotesque need at the running back position (2008 3rd round draft pick Kevin Smith?), and the presence of Drew Stanton and Dan Orlovski Waiting in the wings to take over, should he falter, makes this guy a huge fantasy risk for the 2008 season. Kitna watched as Matt Hasselbeck took over in Seattle, as Carson Palmer took his spot in Cincinnati, and it will happen again in Detroit. 2008 Fantasy Sleeper: Vince Young, Tennessee Titans 2008 is the year that Vince Young's game finally transitions to the NFL. Young showed flashes of his break out ability during his rookie campaign only to take a step back as inconsistent play at the wide receiver position and the growing pains of adjusting to the National Football league seemed to take its toll on the struggling quarterback. The addition of Alge Crumpler as a primary target, coupled with the continued development if his young receiving corps should allow Vince Young's talents to capitalize on some scoring opportunities. Sure to Disappoint: Alex Smith, San Francisco 49ers Alex Smith just doesn't get it. He was drafted first overall by the San Francisco 49ers in 2005 to be the savior of this franchise, to usher in a new era of post season accolades. Unfortunately, Smith was drafted amongst a very weak crop of quarterbacks and the San Francisco 49ers paid a steep price for an inferior product. Smith was rushed in the starting lineup much too quickly and in 2008 will prove to be another Joey Harrington ... a David Carr ... a guy who's game just doesn't translate to the National Football League. The addition of Mike Martz is intriguing to the San Francisco offense, but I truly believe that when Frank Gore is punishing NFL Defenses and Vernon Davis begins regularly posting 100 yard games, that it will be someone other than Alex Smith under center. The Next Great Fantasy QB: Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers has all the tools to become a highly successful quarterback in Green Bay. With Ryan Grant pounding NFL defenses, Greg Jennings and Donald Driver at the wide receiver position, the continued solid play of the Packer offensive line, and the emergence of the formidable Green Bay Packer Defense, Rodgers has been handed the keys to a finely tuned automobile. There is a reason, that Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy made no effort to retain the services of Brett Favre, after four years in the Packer Offensive System they believe they've groomed his successor. What I said in 2007 ... Premiere Passer : Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts Peyton Manning is a touchdown machine and the Indianapolis Colts offense is structured to get him the gaudy numbers that Manning posts every year for yardage and touchdowns. Over the last three years, Manning threw for 49, 28, and 31 touchdowns and 4577, 3747, and 4397 yards. With the addition on Anthony Gonzalez and the emergence of Joseph Addai at Running Back, Peyton is primed for another highly productive year in a system that makes fantasy owners salivate. At 31 years of age Peyton in entering his prime, he is head and shoulder above any other fantasy football quarterback in the league. Most Overrated Quarterback: Matt Schaub, Houston Texans As an understudy for the incomparable Mike Vick in Atlanta for the last three years, Matt Schaub shined in mop-up duty during preseason games and as Vick’s stand in when he was injured. Schaub will find that filling in for a starting quarterback in the NFL is much different that becoming a starting quarterback in the NFL. At 6’5” and 237 lbs. Matt Schaub has all the physical attributes of the prototypical NFL quarterback, but size alone does not an NFL quarterback make … remember Buffalo Bills great Rob Johnson? 2007 Fantasy Sleeper: Alex Smith, San Francisco 49ers Entering his third year in the National Football League, Alex Smith is primed for a breakout year. The San Francisco 49ers broke the free agency bank this off-season and in addition to their rising stars in running back Frank Gore and tight end Vernon Davis, they invested in ex-seattle wide receiver Darryl Jackson. When healthy and not dropping footballs, Jackson is a formidable weapon at the wide receive position. I look to Alex Smith, with a revitalized ground attack, to make defenses pay for trying to stop Frank Gore. Sure to Disappoint: Byron Leftwich, Jacksonville Jaguars I hate to put Byron in this category because I like the guy. I like his physical tools, his attitude, and his heart. Byron Leftwich is the type of guy you want to be successful in the National Football League, but the fact of the matter is that he is doomed to failure in 2007. With David Garrard and Quinn Gray on the roster, the Jacksonville Jaguars have a stable of good quarterbacks, they just don't have a great one. The Jags will feature the two headed rushing attack of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jone-Drew, and if Leftwich can retain his starting job, he will still amass less than 2000 yards passing and ten touchdowns. The Next Great Fantasy QB: Jay Cutler, Denver Broncos Is he the next John Elway? Only time will tell. Does he have the skills and supporting cast to make him a dominant fantasy quarterback ... you better believe he does. Mike Shanahan, has amassed a strong supporting cast and a created a great system for Cutler to thrive in. In Javon Walker and Brandon Marshall, Cutler has a pair of star receivers for him to throw to and in Travis Henry and the vaunted Denver Broncos offensive line, the running game will be as solid as ever in 2007. Cutler will mature very quickly and just like Bill Walsh did for Joe Montana and Charlie Weiss did for Tom Brady, the system will make Jay Cutler shine for years to come.  |
