My DeAngelo Williams Blog

The offseason is fortunately almost more. Players who have had have been exceptional begins. We have heard of them. I am not going to write, however, another article talking about how Carson Palmer tore the field in his first game back from injury, how T.J. Houshmandzadeh was captures everything anywhere near him, Tom Brady Washington showed why he is Tom Brady and how Drew Bledsoe was impressive for the holding of a potential problem Tony Romo. I'm sick of hear these performances, especially when there has been another, less announced the players that have become impressive exhibitions in the endless string of games we have to endure before it starts the actual season.

Before we get too excited, we must really look how much the preseason really matters. The answer is: not so much. Some computers do not take seriously the preseason and not play their starters - the Steelers are so worried about their 0-3 pre-season Ben Roethlisberger and Willie Parker still are not playing in the game the last computer registry. Big Ben has just shed 36 passes pre-season all. On the other hand, Oakland is 4-0. If you believe the record of the Raiders makes them the best team in the League, and they will then have a rude awakening when the season starts.When you import the offseason, however, is that we get to see how young or marginal players react when arrive some time game real.Con that in mind, here are some of the players who are not making headlines that have been impressive preseason:

Michael Turner, RB, San Diego-LaDanian Tomlinson is supposed to be running back that everyone is talking about, but apparently nobody told this third player of the year in Northern Illinois has just 439 yards in his carrera.Turner shippers had become 151 yards, for an average of 6.6 yards per carry, striking only 23 carries and scored three times.Obviously he will not start during the season, but the Chargers fans have to feel better about perspectives, if something were to happen to your star back.

Matt Cassel, QB, New England-Turner, Cassel will see very little time behind a boot superstar, but the former USC backup has demonstrated that you can rely on if he has to be. Passed 484 yards, thus completing 60 per cent of its 54 pass, connected to three touchdowns with no picks and is at the top of the League in passer rating. He has been as prepared and the control that you would expect from a player who really even not played at the University.

Matt Leinart, QB, Arizona-Leinart has looked as good as Cassel, your backup in USC.Es put impressive numbers in two games (19-for-32, 189 yards and a TD), which is particularly impressive given that lost a good part of the camp, because he was Extremoduro on his contract.He has understood much better guide to the father soon to be apparently grabs the birth control. He's been prepared and not panic under pressure. Kurt Warner will start the season as the No. 1, but my bet is that Leinart will assume this position before that year.

DeAngelo Williams, RB, Carolina- In a game of Panthers fans fell in love their draft pick. Its nine carries had yielded 41 yards against the Dolphins for a decent average over 4.5 yards, but is not speaking for that. Sent a kickoff of Miami in the line of two yards, had ill cut to half and execution when the stopped endzone.Nobody had come close to play le.Williams not had shown much spark before that time, but everything was pardoned and fever Williams was born.

Marques Colston, WR, New Orleans- Colston was drafted Hofstra choice 252a, only four points before the end of the project. Hopes, obviously were not high for him, but he has been incredible for camp and it is likely that has now won the starting spot which opened when the team traded ESPN.com Stallworth away. The Saints should not be jettisoned its receiving higher from year if they had no confidence in Colston.

Greg Jennings, WR, Green Bay- The Packers are a bright spot. Second position overall Western Michigan round has led the NFL in receptions in the offseason with 11 catches for 239 yards and a TD. That average of 21.7 yards is not shabby at all. To add to its versatility and attractive, made good in his only attempt to return kicks, carried out for 27 yards of cattle hard. It was so good that coaches are openly discussing their ability to replace the disappointing Charles Woodson on returns.

J.P. Losman, QB, Buffalo-Losman has taken a lot of abuse in the press, and lost his job to Kelly Holcomb last year.However, it has been impressive win again this offseason.It has spent 37-of-57 to 462 yards and two touchdowns.He has showed two elections, but that is less of a concern now would have been last year.It has shown an unexpected amount of poise and maturity, standing in his pocket and looking for a receiver feasible rather than panic and scrambling as did it in the past.Also discovered precision that didn't tenía.Él has fled with a career quarterback who many not expect him ganar.Su team will be terrible, but will not be his fault almost as much as it was last year.

Randy Moss, WR, Oakland - how strange is that almost no one is talking about Moss these days? he may have run over someone with his new car only to copy some headlines away from T.O.Su equipment is destined to be terrible, but he quietly been well studied in the pretemporada.En computer game against Detroit, Moss caught three passes for 102 yards and two touchdowns.La field marshal situation is a mess (Jeff George!), but Moss is showing the potential for career in surprising route has been envelope before a couple of years slugs (for him).

Young players will make an impact? It is always one of the most important game in a fantasy draft questions because often sleepers, average players and complete busts. Last year, the best potential offensive players were J.J. Arrington, Braylon Edwards and Mike Williams. None of them came to have the kind of seasons which guarantees an alta-proyecto pick which definitely has to get in your mind this year.

System classifications

*: The potential final.Tienen player to be the top 5 in its position in the NFL throughout this year, as well as making the Pro Bowl, or being named offensive Rookie of the year.

*: Definitely will be a starter motor for your team and take place between an average NFL player and the player final.

*: Is a performer or average, because they do not play on the best team in the world, or you need some time to develop performer.

*: Can assume as a starter to half of the season.In general, really do not much of an impact.

*: You will see limited playing time, or will not perform as enough as well as to put anything worthy of a fantasy point.

Quarterbacks

First of all, you know it is too difficult to project whether a quarterback will even have the opportunity to do well for its first times that, a rookie quarterback also has an average at best equipo.Más year in the apprenticeship system or sit behind quarterback position for most of the year.A note of advice: don't have a rookie quarterback within the first ten rounds of the project: not be worthwhile.

Important the QB statistics: 27 rookie quarterbacks not threw for more yards than Kyle Orton, who led to rookie QB yards 1,869 initiated last year.

Vince Young, Tennessee Titans *

Steve McNair, narrowing of competition Volek and Young has just launched the Titanes.Young not sit throughout the season, but when he, he will have to learn that he cannot run as freely as did it at the University.He has more potential this year all the rookie quarterbacks.

Matt Leinart, Arizona Cardinals *

Kurt Warner is the man to the Cardinals, and Leinart playtime could end up as it was two years ago under the Giants Eli Manning.Él will do no good until the end of the season.

Jay Cutler, Denver Broncos *

With Jake Plummer, leaving one year career, Cutler even you will not see the campo.Incluso I think not of Cutler, decision because it makes no sense at all.

Running Backs

Important regular budget statistics: 12 running backs finished ahead of Carnell Williams, the leading corridor between new arrivals last year.

Reggie Bush, New Orleans Saints *

Of all the actors of the project, Bush, certainly has the potential to become a 5 star player.However, playing on a computer that was not very good last year and is the Division of time with other talented running back Deuce McAllister.

Laurence Maroney, New England Patriots *

Corey Dillon will still go to the boy of the Patriots, leaving Maroney as seguridad.Sin backup however, the Patriots are always a role for its players and Maroney will see a little time yet to play.

DeAngelo Williams, Carolina Panthers *

In theory, it seems that Williams could have long playing potential to sue DeShaun Foster.Sin past injuries however, is not easy to pick up yards in the system of the Panthers, and Williams will not see a lot of time for the game play.

Joseph Addai, Indianapolis Colts *

Addai not yet a holder of the Colts, but a time that the season rolls around, he will have work won. Addai could be the largest project offensive sleeping is not well known, however will be playing on a system that is very well developed.

LenDale White Tennessee Titans *

White could potentially be a threat to the red zone of the Titans, allowing you to accumulate some touchdowns much like Brandon Jacobs did last year of the Giants.Él also will see some action apart from the red zone, however.

Wide Receivers

Important statistic for labour relations:Receiving class this year was "very good".the last year, Braylon Edwards led receivers rookie with 512 yards, leaving tons of other receptors in front of him.

Santonio Holmes, Pittsburgh Steelers *

The leading Steelers receiver is typically Hines Ward and following that seek the threat of execution. Holmes not jump in League with large numbers but will be smooth as a receiver of average in its first year.

Chad Jackson, New England Patriots *

To regret that the Patriots are beginning to use Deion Branch a little more, like give equal receivers juego.Los time Patriots need another receiver to produce in absence of David Givens.

Sinorice Moss New York Giants *

The Giants have already received several threats, by what Moss will not see a lot of copies instantáneas.Él found itself at the receiving end of the deep ball occasionally, however.

Tight Ends

Please note: a rating of four stars for a tight end would be different from a rating of four stars from a wide receiver.Si a tight end rookie records 700 yards, it would be an excellent season as a tight end, but mediocre to a receiver.

Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers *

Davis will be a rookie year incredible as a tight end, coming close to some of the elite tight ends.Alex Smith need to go to the boy, and which will take place in Davis.

Marcedes Lewis, Jacksonville Jaguars *

Lewis will see some touches, but is hardly sufficient to become a constant threat to your computer.

Conclusion

In general, should be known that novice rarely make a decent impact to your computer from fantasía.Los players with the potential this year are Reggie Bush, Vernon Davis and possibly Vince Young has appointed the largest dormant undoubtedly arranque.Al will be Joseph Addai, but even he should not be taken more than necessary.

Carolina Panthers head in 2010 with a record of 8-8 season and finished third in the NFC South. It was a disappointing end as the Panthers entered the season with high expectations after finish 12-4 in 2008. A large reason for delivery of Pantera in 2009 was the quarterback Jake Delhomme, who started just 11 games prior seat. The Panthers will not be able to blame on Delhomme this season, as they cut Delhomme this past offseason. The Panthers are trying to get younger in a series of positions, and here is a look at what they will send you to the field this season.

Offense:

The Panthers probably starts the season with Matt Moore the quarterback, as Moore had really impressed the organization with his work over the past five games, leading the Panthers to four victories on his five starts. Jimmy Clausen project in the second round, Panthers and he will compete quickly in the camp for the starting job with Moore.

The strength of this unit is the game run, as the Panthers have a mortal blow for 1-2 in DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart .in 2009, Stewart opened the way 1,133 yards, but was right behind with 1,117 yards. The first time that two is done from the same computer that both rushed for more than 1,100 yards. This duo will have to be even better in 2010 if this computer is going to win the NFC South.

Luckily for the Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith probably is ready for the start of the season, after breaking his arm playing flag football this offseason. Smith is the only proven weapon that the Panthers have step game, and they need you to bounce back with a time of great season in 2010.Los Panthers had drafted LSU wide to Brandon LaFell, and he will be battle Dwayne Jarrett for the no.2 spot colors.

The Panthers have a major offensive lines in the title of the NFL season 2010. Left Tackle Jordan Gross comes off a broken leg from last season, but is expected to be ready for training camp. The only change front will arrive at right guard Mackenzy Bernadeau is expected to take charge of deceased Keydrick Vincent.

Defence:

The lost more Panthers this offseason was defensive end Julius Peppers, and there is no doubt that this computer will lose its production this season.Last Peppers makes the Peppers quite weak in the position of defensive end.Veterano Tyler Brayton is after 15 games in 2009, but it will have much competition for his work Everette Brown and Charles Johnson.The Panthers also lost starting defensive tackles Maake Kemoeatu and Damione Lewis.This leaves Tank Tyler, Corvey Irvin, Louis Leonard, Nick Hayden fought for playing time in demanding inside positions.

The Panthers have one of the top game of Jon Beason, Middle linebackers but will probably not start outside linebacker Thomas Davis during most of the next season, and team decided not to put 2009 starter NA ' il Diggs.Partida camp seems Jamar Williams and James Anderson have the border early to start.

In high school the Panthers welcome again Richard Marshall and Chris Gamble game duo points two corner, but the Panthers will have to make a change in the free safety after trade Chris Harris back to the Bears.Las Martin Andreao figures to take charge of Harris, with Charles Godfrey back to strong safety.

Prediction - 3a NFC sur:I know there are some who believe that this computer has enough to win this season, South I do not think they are better than the Falcons or Saints starting the season of the 2010.Creo offense will be perfectly with Moore or Clausen quarterback, but I just think that there are too many changes on the defensive for this computer side stop step high attack power New Orleans or the execution of the Falcons game.

Is this one of the best rookie classes of all time? I can't say for sure, but I know this class of rookies definitely has the most Fantasy Football value that I can remember in a long time. We have a QB who is playing like a seasoned veteran, a running back who is #1 runner right now for fantasy, and a receiver who is 7th in the league in receptions. I will list some of the impact rookies and their fantasy value. The overall draft choice will be in parentheses.

QUATERTBACK:

Matt Ryan (3)- He has to be the leading candidate for R.O.Y. Atlanta drafted him with the third overall pick and he has been better than advertised. The best part is that because of him, no one thinks about Mike Vick anymore. After week 10, he is the eleventh overall QB for standard fantasy scoring. He would make a GREAT backup and I would not be hesitant to make him my starter, if needed. He has some very nice weapons with Turner and Roddy White and I look for him to continue to progress all season. Ryan is going to be a future stud.

Joe Flacco (18)- What a pleasant surprise he has been for Baltimore. A lot or Ravens players wanted Troy Smith to be the starter on opening day, but Baltimore went with the rookie. The Ravens actually traded up on draft day to take Flacco with the 18th overall pick, out of Delaware. They obviously saw something that they liked. And they have to be happy with the results so far. With Flacco at QB, Baltimore actually has a vertical passing game which they haven't had in years. (ever?) He is making nice decisions and is doing more than just managing the game. Derrick Mason is clearly benefiting from this and so with M. Clayton. Flacco is currently the 15th overall QB and is available on most waiver wires right now. Pick him for depth.

RUNNING BACK:

Matt Forte (44)- Forte is the # 1 running back in standard PPR scoring. The Bears got themselves a keeper in Forte. He was most likely drafted in the 6th round or later in fantasy football leagues. So, anyone who is lucky enough to own him got an absolute steal. He also has a great strength of schedule the rest of the way. So continue to start him in confidence. The Bears will continue to get him the rock. I would list him as a close 2nd to Ryan for R.O.Y.

Chris Johnson (24)- He and LenDale White have been a dynamic duo for Tennessee. Johnson is so explosive and can take it to the house at any time. Even though he is in a time share, Johnson is still the 7th overall running back for fantasy. It does seem like he can be a future superstar. The only question mark with him is if he can hold up being an every down back. That remains to be seen. But he will remain very solid for the remainder of this season based on the combination that Tennessee loves to run the ball and the high upside that he brings every week.

Steve Slayton (89)- Slayton was drafted with the 89th overall pick out of West Virginia. In most fantasy leagues, he was either undrafted or went very, very late. Both the Texans and whoever drafted him for fantasy, got great value. He was more than likely drafted as your 4th or 5th running back, so you should have great depth. Hopefully you traded one of your higher, underperforming running backs to upgrade at another position. He is worthy of starting as a RB2 or a great flex option. Slayton will continue to be productive in this potent Texans offense. He is the 14th overall back in PPR leagues. The only question mark with Slayton is if he will be able to hold up for an entire season. He is on the small side. We will see.

Tim Hightower (149)- Anyone who ended up drafting Edgerin James hopefully was smart enough to handcuff him with Hightower. The Cardinals have decided to roll with Hightower now and put Edge on the bench. They won't look back. Hightower has much more burst than Edge and that is what this potent offense needed in a running back. He also runs very hard, which is the reason Arizona decided to make him their goal-line back. Feel free to start him with confidence for the rest of the season. He makes a decent RB2 or a great flex player for most. He is the running back of the future for the Cardinals.

Felix Jones (22)- Dallas went after Jones in the draft and it looks like a wise move. Marion Barber has been the workhorse for the Cowboys, but Jones is a great change of pace back. He also has been very valuable to their return game. Jones looks to be returning from his injury soon, possibly even this week. Dallas could really use his speed. Jones is a must-handcuff if you own Barber and has some nice keeper value also. It looks like he will be a solid back down the road.

Jonathan Stewart (13)- He is another back that is in a serious time-share with Deangelo Williams. He does look to have a nice future though in the NFL. He has some nice speed and looks to be a complete back. Right now, the Panthers seem to be favoring the physical running of Williams more though. Stewart still has nice value though for fantasy. He is more of a fill-in/flex play right now, but that could change quickly if Williams were to stumble or get injured.

Darren McFadden (4), Rashard Mendenhall (23), Ryan Torain (139)- These three backs all have been plagued by injuries. McFadden had 1 good game all season (against the Chiefs) and Torain only played one half of a game all season. Torain did look rather good in that half and looked to be the back of choice for the Broncos. Overall the jury is still out on all 3 of them. I must say that McFadden has looked like somewhat of a bust. He doesn't have much speed and doesn't really look special, like a top 5 pick should. I would rather have most of the backs listed above over McFadden. I was very high on Torain and so were the Denver Broncos. They said that he could have won the starting job in the preseason before he got injured. Then when he comes back, he blew out his knee in the first game. Mendenhall looked good before his season ending surgery, minus his small case of the fumbles.

WIDE RECEIVER:

Eddie Royal (42)- Royal is the 10th overall wide receiver in PPR leagues. He has been clearly benefiting from all of the attention that Brandon Marshall demands, and he has been flourishing. Royal flashes a great combination of speed and good hands. He looks like he has what it takes to be a #1 receiver down the road. Royal went undrafted in a lot of fantasy leagues, or very late. He deserves to be starting for you now. He is a very solid #3 receiver, with the possibility of even more in PPR leagues.

DeSean Jackson (49)- Jackson has blazing speed and playmaking ability that the Eagles were lacking at wide receiver. He was great for them early in the season while the Eagles were minus their 2 top receivers. He continues to be a nice play as McNabb likes to spread the ball around. They also get him involved in reverses and punt returns. Jackson will remain to be a decent # 3 receiver or very good depth.

Donnie Avery (33)- Avery has been a very nice surprise for the Rams. He also is benefiting from the attention that Holt was demanding. It seems that he snuck up on some teams, but they are aware now. Avery has a very nice future in the NFL. He has great speed and is another playmaker. He is a nice fill-in or matchup player for your fantasy team. He can also fill in at the flex position.

If I had a vote for Rookie of the Year; this is how I would rank the top 5 as of right now:
1) Matt Ryan
2) Matt Forte
3) Chris Johnson
4) Joe Flacco
5) Eddie Royal

Apart from the word "injury", there no other word most feared that the word "platoon" fantasy sports. It has been much more common in baseball fantasy with outfielders and Closers for many years, but the NFL offensive approach has evolved for some time. We are now seeing situations platoon commonly used in the NFL backfields. The polite way to describe the use of multiple running backs is "running back by Committee". No matter how you term approach, the peloton situations can be killers of fantasy football.

We have come to expect from starting running backs to produce on a weekly basis, reason why they usually make up 80% of the players that was drafted in the first two rounds of standard score fantasy football leagues. However, with more than half of the League that used an approach of the Commission for their backfield, proving wise to change his strategy of drafting.You can now use your first three selections on one of the best quarterbacks and two of the main receivers.Esto wide leaves quite productive running backs to the project of these committees, some of which could be the main workhorse during the season in the case of an injury.

Computers with commissions of regular budget to take account

Detroit Lions - Kevin Smith, best Jahvid, Maurice Morris.Debería ? focus better as choosing their fourth round. There is a good chance that Kevin Smith will shortly after coming off an injury. Lions have an opportunity to see if you made the right choice with Best project this year.

Carolina Panthers - DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart. Williams will be drafted in the first three rounds. Stewart is number 1 in the majority of crimes, but 1A here and comes from an injury in the foot. More than 1000 yards and two digits TDs is very nice so leverage you if better not available.

Miami Dolphins - Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams. Brown always has great games, but is too prone to injury. Ricky had a fantastic year later Brown turned down last year and plenty left in his legs.Take advantage of any of these, Williams first, should be available here.

Arizona Cardinals - Chris Wells, Tim Hightower.The Cardinals will run this year much more with Leinart at the helm. Both running backs are productive and you can not go wrong with the good. Your choice should depend on your system punctuation. wells will get more carries, but Hightower will see more passes floated their way, as well as the action more around from the goal line.

Cleveland Browns - of Montario, Jerome Harrison.The Browns will be horrific, but will continue to run the ball much, especially with Jake Delhomme in QB. Harrison had a monster final three games of 2009, but then seems to be getting drafted in the same location as Harrison (round 6-7). after seem to be the bearer of the Browns would like to see succeed, but he is already dinged arriba.Por therefore would rank them also at this point and consider getting both of them if you have the opportunity.

Seattle Seahawks - Julius Jones, Justin Forsett, Leon Washington ?.Jones is the unreliable form and improductivo.Washington is emerging from a devastating injury. Therefore, Forsett would be back only that I would be the project. You could steal her rounds 8-10 and end with a possible number 1 RB.

Computers with RB commissions to examine only when their ability to finish positions

Houston Texans - Steve Slaton ? Ben Tate, Ryan, Arian Foster moats.After of scruffy, lack of production and injury last year, Slaton not be considered before the latest rounds of few.Truly believe that the rookie, Ben Tate, be used sparingly and may be the first player drafted this Committee.Thus can strike gold with Arian Foster  low rounds of two digits.

Oakland Raiders - Darren McFadden, Michael Bush.Both of these guys are only worth a risk in round 10 or later.With a more talented QB that runs the program, Oakland offense really write down some puntos.Qué regular budget is the best option even determinado.Tengo a slight penchant for Michael Bush.

Washington Redskins - Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson, Willie Parker.No ? I think Fast Willie ago equipo.Con Portis emerging from a knee injury, a risk and should only be considered around 10 ronda.Larry Johnson can be cooked, but worth a wager posteriores.Hey rounds, someone needs to get carries it in the nation's capital... only who and how successful will be a real mystery.
