FSH: DAVID'S DAILY DIGEST

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 week……

Player Notes From Across My Wire...

McNabb in Denver, really?...
A recent story posted on Bleacher report suggests that ESPN is reporting the Broncos have had multiple discussions with the Eagles inquiring about their 33-year old quarterback; they among two other teams. Clearly there is some concern about Kyle Orton being the long term answer in Denver, but for now this is no more TMZ-type speculation than anything else. It would be a huge shock to see Eagles head coach Andy Reid part with his quarterback (McNabb) that has taken him to five NFC Championships.

Brees and Saints: Can they make it two in a row?....
There's no reason to think that the New Orleans Saints don't have the right ingredients to make it back to the big dance again. Since head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees have teamed up, the Saints offense has been a fantasy football heaven. If they Saints can manage to keep a lot of what they have already intact, there's no reason to think that Brees won't lead the NFL's number offense again in 2010. This season the Saints were number one in scoring and yards. Who Dat say back-to-back?

Fantasy Notes

Westbrook likely to fall deep next season....
Despite the inconsistent play of Eagles rookie running back LeSean McCoy it’s highly unlikely that Brian Westbrook would return to the backfield as a featured runner. Too many injuries over the past couple of seasons have seemingly caught up with the 30-year old running back. With a couple of concussions this past season Westbrook's career could be in question, but if he does return for his 9th season, he's likely to fall deep down the fantasy depth chart. In 2009 he only played eight games finished with 274 yards rushing and just two touchdowns; his worst numbers since his rookie season.
