Sam Aiken 2008 Fantasy Projections

admin — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 01:06:22 +0000

If you want a fantasy football super sleeper for 2008, look at Sam Aiken. The New England Patriots signed Aiken away from the Buffalo Bills early on in the free agency period. Aiken, a wide receiver, will likely be mostly a special teams player for the Patriots.

However, with the departure of Donte Stallworth to the Cleveland Browns, the Patriots have some snaps at wide receiver available. Jabar Gaffney will get a lot of those snaps but Aiken could also find his way into the mix.

Watch the 2008 preseason closely to see how much time the Patriots give Aiken at wide receiver. Even if he is a fourth stringer to begin the season, he’d still have a good amount of fantasy football potential. One injury and all of a sudden Aiken could be getting passes thrown his way.

For now, take a wait and see approach with Aiken but don’t be afraid to draft him late if you see potential.

Ernest Wilford 2008 Fantasy Projections

After beginning his career with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Ernest Wilford is headed to the Miami Dolphins. Wilford, a big wide receiver who has had a couple of great games on the NFL level, was one of the first signings made by new man in charge Bill Parcells.

Although it hasn’t been made official yet, Wilford is expected to start next to Ted Ginn, Jr., who will be going into his second season. Wilford will be a good complement to Ginn since Ginn is a speedster while Wilford is more of a possession receiver.

Wilford likely won’t be much more than a late round draft pick in fantasy football in 2008. The key will be who the quarterback of the Dolphins will be next season. Will Parcells bring in a veteran or will the job go to a youngster? If a quality veteran is brought aboard, Wilford’s value will rise.

As of right now, Wilford’s 2008 fantasy projections would be in the neighborhood of 800 yards and five touchdowns.

Warrick Dunn 2008 Fantasy Projections

After six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, Warrick Dunn is going back to the team where it all started. Dunn signed a contract to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to give the team help at running back.

Dunn had a good run in Atlanta but at 33-years-old, he’s entering into perhaps his final season in the NFL. He probably doesn’t have much left in the tank. However, in Tampa Bay, Jon Gruden has shown that he trusts and will play veterans before he’d play a younger player. With that in mind, Dunn could get a decent amount of carries in 2008.

That said, Dunn won’t be anything more than a late round fantasy football pick in 2008. In fact, there’s a good chance that he isn’t drafted in most leagues. There isn’t much upside there and it’d be difficult for him to do more than get 500 yards and three touchdowns. Anything more than that would be a surprise.

Earnest Graham will likely start for Tampa Bay at running back with Dunn serving as the third down back. Cadillac Williams could add his name to the mix at some point if he can recover from his massive knee injury.
