David's Daily Digest
[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...

QB DEREK ANDERSON EXPECTED TO BE FINE
My Fantasy Read:
It most definitely looks like a true quarterback competition and controversy in Cleveland this summer. Anderson is expected to be fine for training camp and healthy enough to compete with Brady Quinn for the starting gig. Although the team has a lot of cash tied up with Anderson, the younger Quinn might just prove to be the better of the two, but neither have any fantasy appeal at this time.

WR MATT JONES A MAVERICK WITHOUT A HOME
My Fantasy Read:
There are rumors circulating mostly out of the Florida area indicating there could some interest in the receiver-project. Matt Jones is a converted quarterback to receiver that never quite blossomed into what the Jaguars hoped, although he did a decent job. There aren’t too many places in need that Jones figures to be the answer, but he could eventually wind up somewhere this summer. Fantasy owners needn’t concern themselves too much here. If Jones is resurrected, at least to start with he’ll likely be nothing more than added depth and have very little fantasy value heading into the 2009 season.

WR BRANDON MARSHALL TO SHOW AT CAMP
My Fantasy Read:
The Bronco’s receiver made it a point to say he “would” report to camp, but there is no promise that he will play for Denver. Either way his presence in camp is a good sign this bad-boy is going to be ready for the 2009 season. With the Broncos he’ll be viewed as a top 10 option in fantasy, but his value could take a severe hit if he gets moved, depending on where he goes!

QB BRETT FAVRE THROWING, NO MORE TALK
My Fantasy Read:
If it looks like smoke and smells like smoke, then there is a good chance there is a fire. In Minnesota Brett Favre is throwing and it certainly appears he will be playing in 2009. At 40-years of age, it’s a huge gamble to take the aging veteran as anything more than a mid-level QB2, but then this quarterback has never been average. He’ll have talent around him, if he’s got enough left in the tank, Favre could very well be this season’s version of the 2008 Kurt Warner.
