[My Take]
Now that OTA’s are in full swing and the rookies have now joined the team it’s time to start looking at the happenings with a closer fantasy eye. We’ve less than three short months before many fantasy leagues host their annual male bonding, beer guzzling, pizza eating, festival of fools, otherwise known as the draft. This entry features a closer focus on the men under center.….
My Take...
QB CARSON PALMER READY TO RETURN TO FORM
My Fantasy Read: With palmer chucking 50-yards completions during the team’s recent OTA practice, his elbow injury from a year ago looks like a non-issue now. Just two seasons ago Palmer, was playing at a pro bowl level throwing for over 4,100-yards and tossing 26 touchdowns. Following an injury riddled 2008 season, some folks might forget how talented the former Trojan is, and we could see Palmer fall in some fantasy drafts. As a middle round selection, he could be a steal
QB KYLE ORTON WILL HAVE SUCCESS IN 2009
My Fantasy Read: Some Bleacher folks are predicting good things for Kyle and the Broncos in 2009. It’s tough to say how the team will do overall, but Orton could have his best season as a quarterback surrounded with tremendous talent at the skills position. He’ll be a middle round steal in some drafts.
QB BRETT FAVRE GETTING READY TO PLAY AGAIN
My Fantasy Read: Now sure what to read into here, there are mixed reports surrounding the former three-time NFL MVP. If Favre does have surgery to repair the torn biceps, that’s a sure indication of his intention of playing again. It’s too soon to make any predictions, but a healthy Favre is an upgrade in Minnesota and a more attractive fantasy option there as well.
WR BRAYLON EDWARDS REPORTS TO BROWN’S MINICAMP
My Fantasy Read: After all the speculation, rumors, and talks of trade it suddenly appears Edwards is going to stay put? Well for the moment he’s with the team and their only solid pass receiving option. The trouble for Braylon, last season his quarterbacks struggled and without any help to surround him, if Edwards remains in Cleveland it could be a very long season for fantasy owners. Edwards caught just 55 passes and scored only three touchdowns.
QB TOM BRADY HAS “NO RESTRICTIONS”
My Fantasy Read: The reports are Brady is moving well coming off reconstructive surgery. It sounds like Brady could be close to his old self, but until he straps it back on at full speed there’s really no telling if he can return to his 2007 form. He’s likely to go high in some fantasy drafts and even with the potential upside, it remains a risky bet.
QB SHAUN HILL LIKELY NUMBER ONE IN SAN FRANCISCO
My Fantasy Read: From the sound of things Shaun Hill may not have to worry about looking over his shoulder at the competition (Alex Smith), but that’s not necessarily good news for fantasy owners. Hill is hardly a fantasy stud, but could be a servicable QB2 in most leagues, especially if he can improve on his gutsy play he displayed down the stretch in 2008.
