With Fantasy Football season ready to kick in high gear, Fantasy FanHouse is here to preview each and every team. Listen closely, you’re almost guaranteed to win your FREE fantasy football league, only over at Fleaflicker.
Meet The …
Most unpredictable fantasy team ever. If you want to try and sort through this mess with me, let’s give it a whirl. The QB is either going to Josh McCown, Chad Henne, or John Beck. Ronnie Brown has proven himself an elite fantasy back when healthy, but he’s coming off ACL surgery. His backup has reportedly been impressive in workouts thus far … and it’s the 31 year-old CFL-playin’ pot-smokin’ retirin’ to all things zen Ricky Williams. You want a piece of that on your team? Then you’ve got Cam Cameron’s favorite returner and a guy who had only 518 yards receiving for the Jags as the top two wideouts. So let’s break out the machete and slice through all this crap to the bare bones …
… this team is going to suck. Bill Parcells likes to break everything down and plan for the future. Even if the team heads into the season with McCown as the starter — as reports would suggest currently — the present will yield to the future sooner than later. If Parcells was sold on Beck, he wouldn’t have taken Henne with his second pick. Thus, by the halfway point (and probably the quarter-way point) Chad Henne is your QB. I don’t care that Parcells isn’t the actual head coach.
The Breakout
Henne, though he’ll hardly be ownable in fantasy unless you carry three QBs in a 14-16 owner league. I’m just putting him here because he’s going to exceed expectations and be the Dolphins QB of the future. Towards the end of the season it’s possible that a chemistry develops between him and his two top receivers, Ted Ginn and Ernest Wilford. By that point he may be a suitable injury replacement. It’s far, far too early to speculating, though. For now you must ignore him in nearly all formats.
The Bust
Ricky Williams, only because many people are discussing how great he supposedly looks in camp. Feel free to use him as a handcuff to Ronnie, but I won’t be paying even a last round pick for him. As Michael Scott once said, “Fool me once, strike one … fool me twice, strike three.” You can’t get fooled again!
The Depth Chart
QB1 - Josh McCown
QB2 - John Beck/Chad Henne
RB1 - Ronnie Brown
RB2 - Ricky Williams
RB3 - Jalen Parmele
WR1 - Ernest Wilford
WR2 - Ted Ginn
WR3 - Derek Hagan
TE - David Martin
K - Jay Feely
The D/ST
Ugly City. They were dead last in D/ST points last year, and lost Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas. There were tweaks made in the secondary, but nothing large enough to impact the fact that you can’t waste a roster spot on this unit in fantasyland.
The Skinny
At least they are trying to start over from virtually scratch. There are better times ahead, but you won’t see those in 2008. Ronnie Brown is a quality second RB for your team, and he’s had sufficient time to heal.
As I alluded to earlier, the prospects of Henne to Wilford and Ginn via air are promising, starting in 2009 … especially with big Jake Long anchoring the offensive line.
The bottom line for the present, however, is that Brown is the only player draftable in fantasy football. You just can’t really justify anyone else unless you play in a huge league with a bottomless bench.

This could be the weakest division of linemen in the conference. With all four teams ranking in the second half of the conference, three in the lower third, there is much work to be done. But with strong offensive coaching from Jon Gruden in Tampa Bay and Sean Payton in New Orleans there is hope these units can produce.
Carolina Panthers (1st in NFC South, 9th in Conference)
Without Jack Delhomme at quarterback last year, this group struggled. The return of Delhomme and the additions of first-round pick Jeff Otah up front and wide receivers Muhsin Muhammad and D.J. Hackett should help this group buy time for Steve Smith to be the centerpiece of the team once again.
LT Jordan Gross
LG Travelle Wharton
C Ryan Kalil
RG Keydrick Vincent
RT Jeff Otah
New Orleans Saints (2nd in NFC South, 11th in Conference)
This team was dynamic two seasons ago, so the question is can they return to form or was that just a flash in the pan. They certainly have plenty of weapons on offense, but they’re going to have to be a lot meaner up front and control the line of scrimmage for the Saints to have success.
LT Jammal Brown
LG Jamar Nesbit
C Jonathan Goodwin
RG Jahri Evans
RT Jon Stinchcomb
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3rd in NFC South, 12th in Conference)
This group was battered by injuries and inconsistent play last year. The signing of Jeff Faine last year should help, but if Jon Gruden spent half the time finding offensive linemen as he does finding quarterbacks, the Bucs would be perennial contenders. With time to throw, even an average quarterback can be productive.
LT Luke Petitgout
LG Arron Sears
C Jeff Faine
RG Davin Joseph
RT Jeremy Trueblood
Atlanta Falcons (4th in NFC South, 16th in Conference)
The Falcons have a lot of rebuilding to do, and their offensive line is in as much need of help as any other part of the team. Don’t spend big or draft high on Atlanta skill players, because top pick Matt Ryan is going to be running for his life.
LT Renardo Foster
LG Justin Blalock

Nieważne, czy liga ruszy dziś, za tydzień, czy za miesiąc i czy będą w nich grać Zagłębie i Korona. Mało też istotne, czy zdecyduje o tym Ziutek czy Lutek. Najważniejszy jest koniec tzw. walki z korupcją.
