Fantasy Discussion

Jake is drunk, or I think he is.

As you are well aware, the free agency period is set to begin and the the NFL Draft is right around the corner. There are some fantasy leagues which only draft rookies called Dynasty Drafts and you keep all of the other veterans on your roster. I am NOT suggesting that we do this, but I thought that we could get started discussing some fantasy players who might have an impact. This list of players is from my favorite fantasy website (which I will not disclose) and the comments are from this site as well. Personally, I think Bush is the only no-brainer right now.

"1. Reggie Bush, RB, USC - Believe the hype. Marshall Faulk with a 5th gear. He will be the centerpiece of the offense wherever he ends up.

2. DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis - Cemented his franchise RB status with a near spotless week at the Senior Bowl. Some questions about his ability to run inside, but looks like a natural feature back in all other aspects of his game.

3. LenDale White, RB, USC - One of the best north-south RB prospects in a long time. Situation could vault him over Williams. If he ends up on a winning team, 20+ TDs is not out of the question.

4. Laurence Maroney, RB, Minnesota - Could end up with the best situation of the top 4 RBs. Word out of his camp is that his 40 time will surprise at the combine.

5. Vince Young, QB, Texas - Great runner at QB, but not a run-first QB. Should be top 10 at worst, with top 3-5 upside. Even if he completely busts as a QB, he will be an elite NFL WR.

6. Brian Calhoun, RB, Wisconsin - Burner who runs tough for a little guy. Like Maroney, could end up in best immediate situation. Probably not a true feature back, but could definitely be a Dunn/Garner type for fantasy.

7. Santonio Holmes, WR, Ohio St - Speedy WR who also can play physical. Surest thing at WR in the draft, but lacks unlimited upside of elite prospects in previous years.

8. Matt Leinart, QB, USC - Lacks the big arm and running ability to break the elite tier of fantasy QBs, but will be a solid starting fantasy QB (See: Brees, Pennington) at worst.

9. Chad Jackson, WR, Florida - Has the size/speed combo to be a true #1. Biggest upside of any WR in this draft."

Please note that Jay Cutler is not included in this list.
