As it is still pretty early for any major injuries or trading options, I don't really have too much to report in terms of teams, players or defenses I have my eye on for a trade/addition. The only ones I kinda are interested in...don't read this if you are in my fantasy league-cough, David, cough-are the Redskins DST and PHI rookie-WR Jeremy Maclin.

Both of these options are available as a low-round draft pick (6th-7th), or in my case actually went undrafted, and have a great chance at good-fantasy production this season. The Redskins defense ended up 4th overall last season and will only be better this year with the addition of 100-million dollar DT Albert Haynesworth.

Jeremy Maclin is built to play in a spread offense with smaller faster receivers, which is exactly what is already in place in Philadelphia. Although some of Philly's earlier receivers drafted in the same mold haven't exactly panned out, last season DeSean Jackson came in as a rookie and caught 62 passes for 912 yards, 2 TDs and rushing for 96 yards and another TD.

Jeremy Maclin is built almost exactly like DeSean Jackson, only a bit taller, and comes into an even better offensive situation than before. The offensive line is better, McNabb just got a restructured contract w/ more guaranteed money and it seems that everything is finally in place for the offense to click all season since TO left for Dallas.

Other then that, it's still too early to say. Perhaps in a few more weeks, perhaps a month, things will start to fall in place for another run at a championship for AFC North Destruction.
