Fantasy Impact News...
T.O. TO KEEP STAR...
Last season wide receiver Terrell Owens wasn't the fantasy stud most fantasy owners had hoped, but with all signs pointing to his return to Big D next season he could rebound in 2009. Coming off a turbulent 2008, T.O. could lose some of his luster in fantasy drafts, but he's still worthy of a low-end WR1 draft position.
COLES IN SEARCH OF NEW TEAM...
The Jets speedy receiver Laveranues Coles was looking for a long-term deal and the team was looking for a discount. On Wednesday Coles was released by the Jets and allowed to seek out a new deal somewhere else. In the strapped economic times, if Coles is looking for an exorbitant deal he could have trouble finding a new home right away. While he looks for a new place, his fantasy value could drop depending on where he lands.
DUNN OUT IN TAMPA...
Many of the recent cuts by the Buccaneers did not come as quite as a surprise as the release of running back Warrick Dunn. There were no initial signs to indicate he would be out of a job this offseason. Now that he is on the free market he could struggle to find a good fit and be productive in 2009. Even if Dunn signs somewhere, he'll likely play a backup role and not offer much value in fantasy leagues.
BRADY EXPECTED BACK IN 2009...
The Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady is rehabbing well and expected to make a full recovery. Anytime a player suffers a knee injury, there's always a question about how they'll return. Brady was by far the highest scoring fantasy player in 2007, but returning from a serious knee injury he could struggle returning to his past form. The impact will be Brady could fall a few spots behind top quarterbacks like Brees, Manning, and Warner.
GALLOWAY CUT LOOSE BY BUCS...
Wide receiver Joey Galloway has already stated his intent on playing in 2009 after his former employer (Buccaneers) released him on Wednesday. At 37 years of age, Galloway is a long shot to resign anywhere. Last year injuries caught up with the aging veteran and now out of a job he no longer has any fantasy value.
GREEN AND BENNET SENT PACKING...
The Rams released quarterback Trent Green and wide receiver Drew Bennett. Green's release could mark the end of his 15-year career. Even if he does not retire, he'll have little fantasy value even as a backup in the league. Bennett has been a bust the last two seasons, even if he does sign somewhere, he's hardly worth the risk in any fantasy draft.
