More Fantasy Notes:
The Most Notable Fantasy Players of 2010
The 2010 season was filled with a lot of fantasy studs that seeming came out of the woodwork, when most might have thought the cupboard was bare. There were those that blew the doors off from the get-go and then there were those players that caught on mid-season to turn heads. In the end, the 2010 fantasy season was great showcase for some superstars to come in 2011 and
WR-Brandon Lloyd
The Broncos big play threat broke out in 2010 setting career highs in receptions (77), yards (1,448), and touchdowns (11). He was the teams’ best and most reliable receiver making one acrobatic play after another. His 2011 fortunes could be in question with the talk of change at quarterback, but regardless he should still be a top 20 receiver next season.
RB-Arian Foster
The Texan’s running back started fast and finished strong leading the NFL in rushing (1,616 yards rushing) and total offense (2,220 total yards). Foster scored 18 total touchdowns in 2010 and showed great versatility with 66 receptions. As a true feature back in the Texans’ west-coast style system, Foster figures to be a strong top 5 fantasy running back in 2011.
RB-Jamaal Charles
After a breakout campaign in 2009 with 1,100 yards rushing, the Chiefs starting tailback backed it up with a huge 2010 season. Charles turned it up a notch this past year rushing for over 1,400 yards, catching 45 balls for another 468 yards and scoring eight times to lead the team.
QB-Josh Freeman
The Buccaneers’ young arm developed into quite the team leader and big passer in 2010. In his second year Freeman took the reins and led the Bucs to a 10-6 record. The 2nd year quarterback passed for nearly 3,500 yards and threw 25 touchdowns; he also scrambled for another 360 yards starting all 16 games in 2010. Freeman elevated his play this past season and will undoubtedly be a solid number two fantasy quarterback (possibly low end number one in deeper leagues) in 2011.
QB-Joe Flacco
With his new toys this past season the Ravens young quarterback (Flacco) continued his progression improving his numbers in yards (3,622 yards), touchdowns (25), and passer rating (93.6). The Ravens didn’t quite accomplish what they had hoped for when they added all their new toys, look for them to continue to look for ways to improve. As the team keeps finding ways to improve, Flacco will continue to get better and his numbers will keep rising. He’ll be a top 10 fantasy quarterback in 2011.
WR-Mike Wallace
The Steelers big play receiver emerged as a bonafide elite fantasy receiver in 2010, finishing the season with 60 receptions for 1,257 yards receiving with 10 touchdowns. After a nice rookie campaign, the former Ole Miss Rebel rose to the forefront as the Steelers best weapon. With a great rapport with his starting quarterback Wallace will be a legit top 10 fantasy receiver in 2011.
