Not to alarm any­one, but the 2006 NFL sea­son is about eight days away. The hits, the runs, the regret­table announc­ing duos. Any­way, next week, Derek and I will start our “Who to start/bench” shows. This week, how­ever, we talk sleep­ers and busts for any­one who might still have a draft upcoming.

Till next time.

One of the more under­rated half backs over the last three sea­sons has been Texan’s run­ner Doman­ick Davis. In 2003, as a rookie, he ran for almost 1000 yards, added another 200 receiv­ing yards, and crossed the goal line eight times…in 10 games. Not bad for a third rounder on a infant organization.

The next year, Davis started 15 games and amassed over 1,700 total yards of offense to go along with 14 TD’s. Davis was both a good yardage and TD back. While many slept on him, oth­ers were putting him in as a top 10 fan­tasy back. Last year, injuries lim­ited Davis to 11 games and worse, only 230 car­ries. The num­bers remained top­notch, as he had over 100 total yards in eight of those contests.

It has been a sad day in Philadel­phia. The Eagles released wide receiver Todd Pinkston and quar­ter­back Koy Det­mer. Eagles fans have been clam­or­ing for those two moves since the 2003 NFC Cham­pi­onship. For those of you who need a refresher on Todd Pinkston’s cre­den­tials, click here.

The safety that Pinkston dodged in the that video was Ryan Clark. You may remem­ber Clark from his run-in with LaDain­ian Tom­lin­son last season.

The careers of great quar­ter­backs often die hard. Uni­tas. Young. Marino. Now, Brett  Favre is slated to join this list bar­ring an amaz­ing turn of for­tunes. Favre enters his 16th and per­haps final season.

Favre’s abil­ity has slowly eroded over the past three sea­sons. How­ever, with a lack of run­ning game and a poor offen­sive line in Green Bay, Favre’s declin­ing skills are on fur­ther dis­play. Once, the three-time NFL MVP could daz­zle with a strong right arm, guts and sheer will. Now, his often times risky deci­sion mak­ing is con­stantly exposed. Yet, what does this mean to you, the fan­tasy foot­ball owner?

Favre’s days as a con­stant fan­tasy foot­ball starter are gone. Father time con­stantly pays a vicious and cru­el visit to NFL play­ers. The quar­ter­back posi­tion is no excep­tion. How­ever, as Favre entered his mid-30s, he still played at a rea­son­ably high level. Dur­ing 2003 and 2004, Favre showed that he had gas left in the tank. As the 2005 sea­son devel­oped, the worm turned. Read the rest of this entry »

As all of your def­i­nitely know by now, Donté Stall­worth was traded from the Saints to the Eagles yes­ter­day. Let’s take a look at what this means for fan­tasy owners.

Donté Stall­worth — Stall­worth has been one of the big­ger enig­mas at the wide receiver spot so far in his career. His eight TD’s as a rookie had a num­ber of peo­ple excited about his poten­tial. Four years later and he still hasn’t even matched that out­put in terms of cross­ing the goal line. In 2005 Stall­worth did catch 70 passes for 945 yards (Both career highs), but it didn’t feel like a break­out cam­paign. Now in Philly, Stall­worth again is team­mates with a strong-armed quar­ter­back who can avoid the pass rush and extend plays. Of course, Dono­van McN­abb has been some­what more suc­cess­ful at it than Aaron Brooks.

Part one of the Car­son Palmer come­back was a success.

Thank­fully, the Charg­ers fig­ured out that A.J. Fee­ley can­not play quar­ter­back. By the way, if he is still dat­ing this, he has noth­ing to com­plain about.

Ter­rell Owens puts on his pants one leg at a time, just like you. Appar­ently, he over­sleeps and misses impor­tant meet­ings as well.

Dono­van McN­abb has a new slightly above aver­age receiver to join the rest of his slightly above aver­age receivers.

Andy and I have always said, if you need a quar­ter­back sign Jeff George. Ok, per­haps not.

Speak­ing of quar­ter­backs, Billy Volek may be vis­it­ing the unem­ploy­ment line very soon.

 

I hate the tight end posi­tion. That may not be what a fan­tasy foot­ball writer should say, but I don’t want to mis­lead my read­ers. Fan­tasy own­ers invari­ably reach for their TE’s. Anto­nio Gates will be taken early in the third round. Jeremy Shockey and Tony Gon­za­lez will be gone by round five. Even though a great sea­son from them is about what Lee Evans did last sea­son, own­ers con­stantly take the bait.

So I’m here to tell you to wait. Watch the top guys go too soon. Watch the mar­ginal starters be picked up in des­per­a­tion. A player who could very well be the top receiv­ing threat in New Eng­land could be on the board for you in the 9th, 10th, or 11th rounds.

Marc Bul­ger of the St. Louis Rams is one of the biggest gam­bles at the quar­ter­back posi­tion in fan­tasy foot­ball for 2006. Bul­ger over the past few  sea­sons has thrived at times under the play­call­ing of ex-head coach Mike Martz. Bulger’s biggest prob­lem has remained stay­ing healthy.

Bul­ger has not played a com­plete 16 game sea­son as quar­ter­back of the Rams. The sixth round pick out of West Vir­ginia has been exposed by Mike Martz’s high risk, high reward style of play­call­ing which often times hung Bul­ger out to dry due to a lack of protection.

Hey guys. Sorry for the lack of updates over the week­end. Things got hec­tic and I found myself with­out any free time. But the reward for the wait is our final cheat sheet, fea­tur­ing quar­ter­backs! So now all of our cheat sheets are out in cus­tomiz­able form.

We’ll have more updates through­out the day as we get back on track, but I thought this would be a nice start.
