[My Take]
More football news and happenings from around the league; here’s the latest I am hearing, reading, and following with my take on things and how they will impact the coming fantasy season……
My Take...
TE TONY SCHEFFLER COULD SEE BIG ROLE IN DENVER
My Fantasy Read: The Bronco’s tight end may have been a big question mark heading into the offseason with McDaniel’s arrival, but it looks like there could be big plans in 2009 for the talented receiver. Even if the Marshall situation plays out and he stays, Scheffler has too much skill and talent for McDaniels to ignore. The Broncos tight end can present to many favorable options for the offense and figures to be a big part of the offense in 2009. He should easily be one of fantasy’s top targeted tight ends this summer.
RB LESEAN MCCOY ADDS DEPTH TO BACKFIELD
My Fantasy Read: The Eagle’s second round draft signed his new four year deal and now gives the offense plenty of depth in the backfield. McCoy is not a threat to take Westbrook’s job, but will battle with 2nd year back Lorenzo Booker to back up the Eagle’s starter. With the Eagles hoping to keep Westy healthy all season long, the number two spot could become a more lucrative playing option. Fantasy owners will want to eye this situation well into training camp before making a move on either McCoy or Booker.
RB MIKE BELL COULD BE SEE SOME ACTION THIS YEAR
My Fantasy Read: Knowing the history of the Saints and there trouble keeping their backfield healthy, the former Bronco could find himself some playing time in 2009. Thomas appears to be the number one back, with Bush playing a more versatile role in the passing game. Bell should have a chance at splitting some short-yardage carries and perhaps steal a few touchdowns. He’s hardly worth looking at in standard fantasy drafts, but as needs change during the season he could fill a role.
RB LADANIAN TOMLINSON LOOKING GOOD-TO-GO IN 2009
My Fantasy Read: The Charger’s perennial all-pro runner has looked sharp this offseason and it appears his nagging injuries from last season could be a thing of the past. Tomlinson has been sharp and running well and with the Chargers fooling around a bit with the wildcat, the team could be finding more ways to keep their best weapon more involved with the offense. L.T. has reached that coveted 30-years of age plateau, but appears ready to disprove the nay-sayers. His recent history could knock him down a peg or two on some fantasy boards, but he should still be considered a solid RB1 in 2009 fantasy.
