In this additon of The Teusday Ten were going to visit five palyers who you do want and five who you don't want on your fantasy football team this season.
The five you Want...
1. Matt Cassel QB KC- Not the biggest household name out there at QB but hes a buy low guy. You can get him later in your draft maybe say the 6-8th round while everyone else is scrambaling for Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner. (Wait did i just say Kurt Warner? Yes i did.) You know those guys will be the first four taken then you can wait and get a solid guy with a great Wide out later on and not spend an early pick you might want to use for a WR or a RB.
2. Cedric Benson RB Cin- This kid had all the hype coming out of Texas. The Bears took him and he was a failure there. The Bengals picked him up late last year and in only 214 Attempts he had 750 yards. Thats not bad and hes a guy not many people will be looking at. Hes a late round steal. Now is he a starter you may ask? No. He's a back up. A guy you want incase one of your top two or three running backs get hurt or for their off week.
3. Vincent Jackson WR SD- Now this guy just like Cassel is a mid round guy. He only had 59 catches last year but still got 1000 yads. He's ready for a huge seasona nd he can catch everything thrown his way. He has a great QB in Phillip Rivers who led the league last year in Completion % And dosn't have a lot more options there in SD other than Gates and LT so Jackson will get a lot of balls thrown his way this year.
4. Greg Olson TE Chi- Maybe one of the Most underated TE in the NFL. He now has a QB who can throw to him and Not throw picks half the time. He was second on the Bears in receptions last eyar and Jay Cutler LOVES to throw to his TE so he'll get a lot of passes thrown his way this year. Let someone each too early and Get Gates, Gonzolez Clark and even Cooley. Wait cause Olson will be there late for you.
5. Giants D/ST- They ranked tenth in Fantasy D/ST's last season. They get Osi back so that Defensive line will be looking even better and that Line backer core is great too. They have the chance to have a big seasona dn Of course you don't want to get a Defense till late unless u want the Titans, Ravens or Steelers who will go early. Take the Giants D as a late round ooption that will be good to you.
Now five players you don't want...
1. Tony Romo QB Dal- He lsot TO. That could be a good thing. He lost Jessica. That also could be good. But after losing TO who does he have to throw to? Uh Roy Williams and Jason WItten everbody. He dosn't have the reliable guy any more who will go and play ahrd. Williams is getting old and even though Witten is a top ten TE Romo throws a lot of INT's. With out a true number one guy who has proven to be able to help a contender he'll have an off season.
2. Brian Westbrook RB Phi- Two words are why you don't want Westbrook. Injury Prone. He always seems to be hurt. he comes into this season after having offseason ankle surgery and i just don't think that he'll be the RB he used to be. He can have big weeks but then will get hurt. The Eagles have LeSean McCoy who left Pitt early to come to the NFL as Westbrooks back up and if he shows he can eb a reliable guy he might get the nod over Westbrook.
3. Lance Moore WR NO- He ahd a big break through season last year. He was one of Drew Bress's favorite targets all season but how reliable can he really be? He had his on weeks and had his off weeks and because of it he was really inconsitant. He might be one of the best options in a pass happy offense but i just don't see him having as good of a season as last season. Oh and he's hurt right now.
4. Kellen Winslow TE TB- He's out of Clevland. Does that mean he'll step it up and play like he can? Eh i don't think so. A new team dosn't mean he'll be any different. He misses a lot fo games each year for injurys or being sick and some times just not wanting to play. The bucs still don't know who will start at QB and that could also cause problems. He's not worth starting. He might be best off as a back up or just a pick up for one week when your starting TE is off.
5. Bucs D/ST- They fire their coach. Lose Defensive cordinator Monte Kiffen to go work with his son in college. So there goe the Tampa teo. They let go Pro Bowl and futer HOF LB Derreck Brooks and are moving Saftey Jermaine Phillips to OLB. They want to become a younger and faster Defense and i think that'll still take them another year to do so don't go near this D/ST in your draft.
