With the first day of the 2009 NFL Draft complete, here’s a look at the future of the fantasy football relevant players who were drafted in the first half of the first round.
QB Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions
Stafford went first overall and has good long-term potential. For a redraft league, he doesn’t have much upside.
QB Mark Sanchez, New York Jets
There’s a good chance that Sanchez gets plenty of action this season. If there’s a rookie quarterback to gamble on in a redraft fantasy football league, it’s Sanchez.
WR Darrius Heyward-Bay, Oakland Raiders
The Raiders surprised the experts by picking Heyward-Bay seventh overall. Although he has great speed, it’s difficult to imagine him having an immediate impact in Oakland.
WR Michael Crabtree, San Francisco 49ers
For the 49ers, getting Crabtree was a much needed move. For Crabtree, his fantasy football value is somewhat shaky considering San Francisco’s anemic offensive unit.
RB Knowshown Moreno, Denver Broncos
This is a good fit for both parties. The Broncos needed a running back and were able to get the best in the draft. And Moreno should be happy to be going to a running back friendly team.
