[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...

RB MARSHAWN LYNCH LOSES SUSPENSION APPEAL
My Fantasy Read:
With Marshawn Lynch losing his appeal he will have to miss three games to start the 2009 season. This is undoubtedly going to hurt his stock value in many fantasy leagues. With Lynch down, back-up Fred Jackson will have ample opportunity to earn more playing time when Lynch does return. Also note-worthy, with Lynch sitting for three, he could go much later in drafts and become a considerably undervalued pick.

WR ANTONIO BRYANT SUFFERS KNEE INJURY
My Fantasy Read:
According to the St.Petersburg Bryant missed practice on Monday due a knee injury. It’s too early to speculate if this is going to be a chronic problem, but with so many questions surrounding the quarterback position Bryant is not going to warrant the same kind of value he held in the second half of last season.

RB REGGIE BUSH MISSES PRACTICE ON MONDAY
My Fantasy Read:
The Saints dynamic playmaker missed practiced due to swelling in his surgically repaired knee. Head Coach Sean Payton held Bush out of practice to prevent any more time being missed. While it is not being reported as anything serious, it is something to monitor for fantasy owners.

WR RODDY WHITE CONTINUES TO HOLD OUT FROM CAMP
My Fantasy Read:
The Falcon’s leading receiver the last two seasons, White had a break out campaign in 2008. He’s without a doubt one of the leagues best pass catchers and wants to get paid. With him holding out (and some are speculating this could be a lengthy stay), he’s going to be a risky early pick in drafts scheduled in the short coming weeks. For those drafting later, they’ll have the advantage of seeing how this plays out.
