what are yours? gimme 5

mine

1. joe flacco- finally got some better WRs. Stallworth as a deep threat, Bolding as a great possession guy. Still have Clayton and Mason around, as well as Heap. I think he has a big year.

2. Beanie Wells- with Leinart now in the equation, i think AZ will run more. Wells is the best RB on that team. He could have a 1300 year IMO.

3. Dez Bryant- yeah, rookie WR's never do much, blah blah blah. I think He'll be a great compliment to Austin in DAL. He's special. Should move into that #2 slot rather quickly. I see a 800-900 yard season, 8 or 9 TDs. A decent option as a #2 WR or slash player.

4. Reggie Bush- I think he ups his game this year. Playing for a contract. Obviously great value in a PPR league. I think he could put it all together this year. May be a homer pick, but i keep replaying that AZ playoff game in my head where he actually looked like a RB. No legit #2 RB is in his way at this point on the Saints roster.

5. Torry Holt- with Welker coming back battling injury and Moss stretching the field, I think Holt has a huge opportunity to catch a lot of balls in NE. He was decent last year, just didnt get any TDs. I think he could grab 75-80 balls and be a good FFB #2 WR.


5a- Hakiem Nicks- big time deep threat, becomes a #1 FFB WR this year IMO.

1- michael crabtree- going to get a full season and play very well with alex smith

2- malcom floyd- with vincent jackson sitting out atleast 3 games he will be the number 1 wr on a team that likes to pass

3- julian edelman- if wes welker doesnt come back in time for the season, his clone will do just as well

4- ben tate- a really good fit for the texans offense, if he wins the starting job he could have 1000 yards easy

5- santana moss- he finally has a quarterback that can throw the deep ball, with his speed he should have a good season

those are some good ones. I think McNabb will make one of those young WASH WR's a lot better than what they have been

Ryan Matthews - who else gets all the touches

Larry Johnson - shanahan's system + portis breaking down every year = potential L J rebound?

Jahvid Best- maybe

Donnie Avery- can he step up to a consistent threat with Bradford

Jermichael Finley - top 3 TE this year potential

5a - Kevin Kolb or LeSean McCoy

1. Shonne Greene- was great in the playoffs and will be the number one on the best running team in the league last year.

2. Donald Brown- Addai is always injured and has had a year to get with the program in Indy.

3. Montario Hardesty - Harrison was good at the end of the last year, but I think Hardesty will be the starter by the end of the year.

4. Julian Edleman- Will be Wes Welker while the real Welker is out.

5. Santana Moss- Is explosive and finally has a legit passer, could put up great numbers.

QB: I think you have to go Jay Cutler here. Adding Mike Martz is going to be huge. I think Cutler will surprise by throwing fewer INTs, and just maybe...just maybe...hit 30 TDs. If the Bears find a running game, look out for Cutler's success off play-action. I think that's where he is deadliest.

RB: Tough call here. Ryan Matthews is popular. Shonne Grenne is too. Many are picking Beanie Wells. I don't have a specific name, but rather a team's RB group that I expect one guy to emerge. Keep an eye on the Redskins RBs. Shanahan always had a real good running game, and the Redskins have upgraded their OLine. That combo could lead to a big year from one of those RBs(Portis, LJ, etc).

WR: I like Crabtree, Santana Moss, and Malcom Floyd to have improved numbers this season, but the one guy who will rise big time is Mike Wallace in Pittsburgh.

TE: I love Jermichael Finley for this season. I think he has a chance to finish at the very top of the TE class, but my sleeper is Owen Daniels. I know he's been real good before, but seems he is way undervalued heading into this season due to his injury last year(I've picked him as late as the 11th round in some mock drafts). I think he bounces back huge. That Texans passing game is too great not to think Daniels won't be a Top 5 TE.

Def/SpTm: Who knows really....I always wait until the last round or two and grab a team, but I always pick up a hot team on the free agency wire once the season starts. There are great defenses who just stone-cold stop opposing offenses, and then there's defenses who bend bend and bend again, but get takeaways and return them for TDs. That was the Saints last year. Maybe they repeat that performance. I'll say Saints, plus they have some dynamic returners in (KR)Roby and (PR)Bush.

K: I love Garrett Hartley for this season, but my sleeper has to be Neil Rackers, as he will have plenty of opportunity in that high octane Texans offense once he beats out Kris Brown.
