Joseph Addai, RB, IND: Here’s why he is here: He’s going toward the end of the first round, but he should be going in the top five. Last year, he had almost 1,500 total yards and eight touchdowns. Only 10 running backs had more fantasy points. And he did that while splitting carries with Dominic Rhodes. Now, the gig is all his. Mmmmm, Joseph Addai.
(he did good but then busted in the playoffs)
Daunte Culpepper, QB, JAC?: If this comes true, then I like him.
Matt Jones, WR, JAC: I don’t care who is throwing to him. This is the year he puts it together. In fairness, same has often been said about me.
Greg Jones, RB, JAC: I wouldn’t be surprised if he steals six touchdowns or so at the goal line. For deep leagues only.
Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, JAC: Last year was not a fluke. Expect the Jaguars to run him out wide as a receiver in some sets, making him even more valuable in leagues where receptions count.
Derrick Ross, RB, KC: A deep sleeper here, Ross was the NFL Europe leading rusher with 693 yards, and he was second in total yards from scrimmage with 795. With Larry Johnson threatening to hold out and Michael Bennett never having been the toughest cat around, Ross is a guy for super-deep leagues or just a name to keep in mind.
(none of those last five turned out)
Chris Chambers, WR, MIA: See Witten, Jason.
Ronnie Brown, RB, MIA: Had a better 2006 than folks realize.
(yeah he did good till injury)
David Martin, TE, MIA: He’ll be a very solid, end-of-the-draft type TE.
Chester Taylor, RB, MIN:Minny has no passing game and the arrival of Adrian “the other” Peterson means his draft-day value will be depressed. But he’s also TOOTG (The Only Offense They Got). I’m not convinced Peterson can stay healthy, and I know Tarvaris Jackson isn’t going to hog the ball. Other No. 2 running backs will go before him, but Chester will return more value than many.
Tom Brady, QB, NE: Now playing for two.
(heres a good call)
Laurence Maroney, RB, NE: Step one: Cut a hole in the box. Er, scratch that. Step one: Lose half of running back by committee. Step two: Prepare for breakout season.
(heres a bad call)
Ben Watson, TE, NE: While the secondary chases down Moss and Stallworth, Watson will be catching all the underneath stuff Brady likes to throw. It’s elementary!
Reche Caldwell, WR, NE: All the attention will be on Moss and Stallworth, but remember, Caldwell was targeted often by Brady last year and he doesn’t have the injury problems the other two do.
Deuce McAllister, RB, NO: He was on this list last year, too. You’re welcome.
