Lorenzo Booker, Eagles
Brian Westbrook, despite all the injury and age concerns, continues to produce stud-tastic numbers for his fantasy owners. But how much longer can his wheels last? The end is near for Westbrook to continue as the workhorse back, and the most likely candidate to help with the load is Booker. He is young, versatile and shifty like the elder Westbrook and another offseason of tutelage from the PPR King should raise Booker’s stock considerably.
Wide Receivers
Keenan Burton, Rams
I can hear the “Who?!?” coming from the fantasy football collective. Burton is as obscure as they come on the fantasy radar. But a significant overhaul is in store for the St. Louis Rams this offseason and veteran Torry Holt could be ousted for younger, cheaper talent. Burton saw a decent amount of playing time this year and made some key catches along the way. His role could be expanded next season if the new coaching staff is open to his potential.
Adrian Arrington, Saints
Arrington was off to a great start in Saints’ camp and preseason football before being sidelined with a foot injury. His long-term health is not an issue and he should return to battle Robert Meachem and Devery Henderson for playing time behind Marques Colston and Lance Moore. Arrington has just as much chance as either Meachem or Henderson of winning the job, which could be a lucrative position in the high-powered Saints offense.
Mike Walker, Jaguars
Walker briefly flashed on fantasy radars during part of the 2008 season before succumbing to injury. Avoiding the IR has been a big knock on Walker, but until going down this season it began to look as if David Garrard found his favorite target. If Walker can stay healthy next summer, he would slip into Jacksonville’s starting lineup for 2009.
