"Fantasy Expert" Matthew Berry Revealed

Larry Johnson, RB, KC:Look, he’s great, OK? Still a first-round pick, no doubt. But I have my concerns, and I bet he doesn’t wind up on any of my teams this year. He has over 825 touches the past two seasons. His 4.3 YPC average last year is mediocre. He lost Will Shields from an already aging offensive line. He’s talking holdout, Herm Edwards has said he wants to limit his touches, and take a look at that schedule. Strong run defenses in Chicago, Minnesota, San Diego and Jacksonville in the first five weeks. Plus Denver twice and San Diego again in Week 13, when you’re trying to get into the playoffs. I’m sure he’ll be awesome. Just not on my team.

(ok heres a good call)

Any Chiefs wide receiver:The textbook definition of “bleah.”

(nope again…bowe had a breakout year)

Tarvaris Jackson, QB, MIN: Just because it’s obvious doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Adrian Peterson, RB, MIN: He’s a big name, no doubt. He’s also injury prone and on the wrong side of a time share.

(are you kidding me Matt!!! you put the bears adrian peterson on your love list and this guy on your hate list) America..Here is our fantasy expert

Randy Moss and Donte’ Stallworth, WRs, NE: There’s a reason the Patriots have not had a 1,000-yard receiver the last three years. For one, well, they haven’t had anybody really good. But more importantly, Brady loves to spread the ball around and get everyone involved. Which means the additions of Moss and Stallworth help Brady, but it doesn’t help them as much.

(Randy on the hate list.. so you pass on randy for sinorice moss and a pete for rex’s a pete.)

Eli Manning, QB, NYG: For the record, I was hating on Eli before it was cool to do so.

(sorry cant hear you matt..his ring is making too much noise)

Reuben Droughns, RB, NYG:Someone not nearly as good as Tiki but who still has Brandon Jacobs to vulture all the goal-line carries? Yeah, that’s what I want.

Pick a Raider, any Raider: Where fantasy goes to die.

Reggie Brown, WR, PHI:Much like “Spider Man 3,” a little too overhyped for my taste.

Ben Roethlisberger, QB, PIT: Maybe as a bye-week guy, nothing else.

(now a top 4 qb) so uhhem…something else matt

Willie Parker, RB, PIT: I’ve said these words before, but in a much different context: Kevan Barlow scares me. When you consider Najeh Davenport is also on this team, I’m not convinced Fast Willie gets the goal-line carries he did last year. He’s still a first-rounder, I’m just not convinced he’s top-six, which is probably where you’ll have to take him to get him.

(at midpoint he led league in yards)

Isaac Bruce, WR, STL: See Smith, Rod.

Alex Smith, QB, SF: Don’t underestimate the loss of Norv Turner as offensive coordinator.

Frank Gore, RB, SF: See Parker, Willie and then see Smith, Alex. If he drops out of the top-six, sure. But otherwise, there are safer plays.

Darrell Jackson, WR, SF: Not unless your league counts drops.

Cadillac Williams, RB, TB:More like a Kia. That’s broken down. And an ugly color. And that you once got really drunk and made out with a really ugly girl in and you hate looking at it as all it reminds you of is your pathetic life, your lost opportunities, the dreams that didn’t come true and the disappointments still to come. Too much detail?

Vince Young, QB, TEN: The lack of a big-play wide receiver, a whole year for defensive coordinators to prepare, and the Madden cover curse are all good reasons.

LenDale White, RB, TEN: Injury-prone and was never an every-down back in college. What’s to like here in yardage leagues?

(actually productive)

Clinton Portis, RB, WSH: The dumb comments about Vick and dogfighting, the wacky disguises that aren’t really funny, and the whole injury-prone thing are all reasons to not like him; the presence of Ladell Betts is a reason not to draft him.

(had a resurgence with tons of points)
