[My Take]
We may be smack in the middle of the NFL offseason, but with the draft barely weeks old and many teams starting up their OTA’s it sure feels like football season. And what would football season be without more news, updates, predictions, quick takes, long takes, and of course my take….
My Take...
RB LEON WASHINGTON WANTS NEW DEAL
My Fantasy Read: Now who doesn’t want a new deal. The interesting thing is Thomas Jones is also looking for more money. This bodes well for Washington, because if the Jets have to pick their poison they’re likely to go with youth. Washington is not an every down back, but with the addition of rookie runner Shonn Greene he could become a reliable weekly fantasy option splitting carries.
QB BRIAN GRIESE COULD BE OUT SOON
My Fantasy Read: Word is Griese could be let go by Tampa Bay by the end of the week. This is could very well likely be his last stop. Griese has been pretty much a journeyman backup the last several seasons. He’s only started 11 games in the last three seasons and at 34 years of age, he’s not a good candidate to see much action in 2009.
RB LERON MCCLAIN CHANGING POSITION
My Fantasy Read: McClain had to be one of last season’s surprise sleepers, but this year he’s more likely to put fantasy owners to sleep. This season he’ll move over to fullback which will likely cut into his carries but he still may be a serviceable fantasy back. McClain will still figure in as the team’s short-yardage and goal-line carrier.
RB JERIOUS NORWOOD TO SEE BIGGER ROLE
My Fantasy Read: Every year we are hearing the same thing. We expect so and so to have a bigger role, because we’d like to keep our other player healthy. Micheal Turner carried the ball 375 times last season (which is high), and he’ll be the bread and butter once again. Turner is going to get the ball as much as the team needs him to carry, so Norwood is going to settle for leftovers once again.
RB FRED JACKSON AGREES TO 4-YR DEAL
My Fantasy Read: The good news is Jackson can be a very productive runner, even in a back-up role. The presence of T.O. is going to make the rest of the Bills offense better and Jackson will be one of those beneficiaries (especially in the passing game). The bad news for Marshawn Lynch owners, Jackson just signed a 4-year deal, so your boy will lose some touches.
RB WILLIS MCGAHEE SLOW TO RETURN TO THE FIELD
My Fantasy Read: The Raven’s former featured back could have a tough time cracking the lineup this season if his health continues to remain an issue. With last year’s rookie Ray Rice implanted as the number one tailback while McGahee rehabs from knee surgery, he’ll have a great opportunity to hold the job. Remember last season McGahee began the season in the doghouse.
