[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...

WR ANQUAN BOLDIN REPORTS TO CARDS CAMP
My Fantasy Read: Following the advice of his new representation, the Cardinal’s disgruntled receiver showed no signs of such and reported to camp on Wednesday. With Boldin in camp it appears likely there will be no hold-out and the stud receiver should be back to work as usual opposite the explosive Mr. Fitzgerald. Boldin is going to drop slightly outside the top ten in some rankings, but in Arizona he’ll be a solid fantasy play in 2009.

RB LARRY JOHNSON WILL REPORT TO CAMP ON TIME
My Fantasy Read: Reports are the Chiefs troublesome running back Larry Johnson will report on time to camp on Friday. It also appears Johnson is excited about being with the team, although in a new system his role could change. Chan Gaily and Todd Haley are expected to run a more spread offense making Johnson a darkhorse sleeper candidate this season. If Sir Larry stays in KC this season, fantasy owners could be quickly reminded of his 104 catches from 2005-2007.

WR DARIUS HEYWARD-BEY A RAIDER NO-SHOW
My Fantasy Read: As if injury wasn’t enough to slow the progress of the Raiders prized rookie, but now a hold-out he’s sure to fall further behind the curve. There were some doubters regarding the Raiders huge leap with taking Heyward-Bey so high in the draft. Even SI’s Peter King suggests that Heyward-Bey seems like a boom or bust. We would have to say he’s starting to have all the makings of a bust this season.

QB BRETT FAVRE SAYS NO FOR THE TIME BEING?
My Fantasy Read: So the official unofficial report is Brett Favre will stay retired, at least for the moment. What would a Favre story be without a twist? So the latest is he’s not joining the Vikings at this time, so the team will move on with Rosenfels and Jackson. But, the word out of Mississippi is Mr. Favre will continue to throw. As long as there is activity this story won’t die, but fantasy owners shouldn’t even touch it with a tenth-round fantasy pick.
