Pros: Grant plays on one of the league’s most prolific offenses, and he is coming off back-to-back 1,200-yard seasons. He is coming off a career-best 11 touchdown season and improved on his yards-per-carry average (4.4) after a ho-hum 2008 season. He has little competition in the running game for touches and typically only loses playing time on third downs.

Kellen Winslow. eventually, the move to Tampa Bay to play with the Buccaneers ought to rejuvenate his career.  In 2009, with so a bunch of uncertainty at the QB role, it’s probably sound to assume he won’t be generating stats similar to ’07. However, he ought to be a viable target for Byron Leftwich, in addition to a safety net for Josh Freeman (as soon as he’s prepared), so his catch total may be decent.

The following are more Fantasy Football Tight Ends that could be busts for fantasy football owners. Read the rest of this entry »

SAN DIEGO (AP)—LaDainian Tomlinson(notes) has been ruled out of the San Diego Chargers’ home opener against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday due to a sprained ankle, just the second time the star running back will miss a start due to injury in his brilliant nine-year career.

If you haven’t already, try to get Sproles.  LT is an over rated has been.  Running backs his size don’t last too long in the big leagues.  If you drafted him like I did in round 1, just keep him in your back pocket for now.

I’m watching the playoffs this weekend and noticing a few things that may help my fantasy football 2009 team.  One, Joe Flacco is certainly a better QB that many give him credit for.  In fact, I’m wondering why isn’t Joe rookie of the year.  Where is Matt at these days.  Not that they both didn’t have good years, and maybe over the course of the season Matt did enough to deserve the award, but why was Joe not even considered.  There wasn’t one vote for him as the #1 candidate for Rookie of the Year, despite being one of two rookies to play every game and lead their team to the playoffs.

This hasn’t been one of the better seasons for the Chargers, but they are getting some good play from Darren Sproles.  With LT being bothered by a toe injury this year, Sproles has gotten more playing time and a chance to showcase his skills for the NFL.  Like Turner who ran in the shadow of LT for many years and is now having a breakout season starting for Atlanta, Sproles could also be the one to provide a huge boost to a running game if given the opportunity to produce on a regular basis.  Read the rest of this entry »
