David's Daily Digest
[My Take]


More OTA’s and more football highlight Monday’s activities around the league. Here’s the latest I am hearing and reading with my take on things around the league…


My Take...

RB RONNIE BROWN LOOKING GOOD IN CAMP
My Fantasy Read:
The word around the Dolphin’s minicamp is that Ronnie Brown is looking very good on the field. Just two years removed from major knee surgery, Brown could be looking to bounce back in 2009. Brown had a decent 2008 campaign, but with an aging Ricky Williams not looking very sharp during the offseason, the stage could be set for a monster season this year. Fantasy owners should be looking to draft Brown near the top this summer.

WR GREG JENNINGS REPORTEDLY CLOSE TO SIGNING
My Fantasy Read:
The Packer’s leading receiver is reportedly close to resigning with the team according to Jennings. This would be very good news for the Packers, as Jennings emerged as the team’s top pass-receiving threat a year ago with nearly 1,300-yards and nine touchdowns. A happy Jennings heading into training camp can only mean good things for fantasy owners as well. Jennings will likely be a possible top-10 grab or close to it in fantasy drafts this summer.

WR KEVIN CURTIS SAYS HE’S ONCE AGAIN HEALTHY
My Fantasy Read:
In 2007, Curtis was a healthy Eagle and put up big numbers with McNabb chucking the pill. Last season a sports hernia surgery slowed down Curtis’ 2008 campaign. Now healthy and with some additional help on the “O” side of the ball Curtis could be looking to return to his 70-catch, 1,000-yard form. Curtis will be a solid middle round WR2 selection this coming summer.

RB AHMAD BRADSHAW CONSIDERED PRIMARY BACKUP
My Fantasy Read:
The read on Bradshaw is he’ll be Jacob’s primary backup and should see plenty of touches to be fantasy worthy. He’s not going to be the big dog on any fantasy team this season, but should make a solid RB3 selection and great handcuff for Jacobs. Last season Bradshaw finished with just 67 carries, but this season he should absorb the majority of the 182 carries Derrick Ward has a year ago.

WR ISSAC BRUCE NOT EXPECTED TO START IN 2009
My Fantasy Read:
One of the NFL’s leading receiver’s is likely to make the Niner’s roster this season, but according to the SF Chronicle he likely won’t start. The Niner’s drafted Michael Crabtree this offseaosn and he is expected to step in at split-end with Josh Morgan moving to flanker. The 16 year veteran wideout (Bruce) will move to the slot and should still be a serviceable WR3 in deeper leagues. Last season Bruce led the team with 61 catches and he could very well be one of its’ top receivers again.
