Brandon Marshall of the Denver Broncos has posted two straight great fantasy football seasons. In the last two years, he has nearly 2,600 yards receiving to go along with 13 touchdown receptions. That said, his sitution right now is extremely murky and thus his 2009 fantasy football value is in doubt.
New Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels has apparently not meshed well with Marshall. On top of that, Marshall is asking for a trade due to not liking his contract.
For the 2009 fantasy season, it’s difficult to imagine him having much of an impact. He hasn’t played yet in training camp …read more

When it comes to fantasy football wide receivers, there isn’t any player with as much boom or bust potential as Brandon Marshall of the Denver Broncos. Although he’s had great numbers the last two seasons, there are other considerations that should make you hesitate as a fantasy football owner.
Last year, Marshall had 104 catches for 1,265 yards and six touchdowns. The previous season, he had 102 catches for 1,325 yards and seven touchdowns. Those numbers point to him having a very good season this year.
But hold up. First of all, quarterback Jay Cutler — who loved passing it to Marshall …read more

Fantasy football owners are trying to digest the news that Jay Cutler was traded to the Chicago Bears from the Denver Broncos. This news will affect many NFL players in the fantasy football world.
First of all, Cutler himself probably sees his stock lower quite significantly. In Chicago, he joins a team with a mediocre receiving corps and a history of running the ball often. Logic suggests his stats will drop after spending his last few years in the wide open offense run in Denver.
For the Broncos, the wide receivers also see their stocks go south. Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal …read more

QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Capping off a masterful season, Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw for 386 yards and four touchdowns. He finished the season with more than 5000 passing yards — a number that made him a fantasy football favorite all season long. Going into 2009, Brees has to be a top flight QB option in the fantasy world.

RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders
In their stunning victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Raiders running back Michael Bush proved he has NFL level talent. He ran for two touchdowns and 177 yards. Although the Raiders will likely build their future running …read more

QB Seneca Wallace, Seattle Seahawks
Coming off of a very good game against the New England, Seneca Wallace will face the pitiful St. Louis Rams defense this week. Last Week, Wallace finished with three touchdowns, 212 passing yards and 47 rushing yards. This week he has a chance to put up similar stats against the Rams. If you need an emergency fantasy football quarterback starter, look for Wallace.

RB Tatum Bell, Denver Broncos
With Peyton Hillis now out for the season with a hamstring injury, Tatum Bell is the starting running back in Denver. He’s had some success in the past in this …read more

QB Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
Returning from injury, Matt Schaub showed why he’s regarded as one of the up and coming quarterbacks in fantasy football. In Week 14, Schaub played very well against the Green Bay Packers. He finished the game with 414 passing yards and two touchdowns. Plus he orchestrated a game-winning drive near the end of the game, which should help his confidence going forward.
RB Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles
When healthy, Brian Westbrook continues to be a beast. In Week 14, Westbrook had over 200 combined rushing and receiving yards and two touchdowns. More impressively, he did that damage against …read more

QB Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
Even though Donovan McNabb had a very good Week 13 showing, don’t bet on him to repeat that performance in Week 14. Going up against the New York Giants, McNabb’s limited mobility will be on full display. If the Giants get a good rush on him, it could be a very long and disappointing game for McNabb.
RB Clinton Portis, Washington Redskins
Clinton Portis has a lot of things going against him this weekend. First of all, he has to deal with a myriad of injuries that have slowed him in recent weeks. Equally as scary is the …read more

QB Shaun Hill, San Francisco 49ers
Being a quarterback in a Mike Martz offense is generally a good thing. Shaun Hill of the 49ers seems to be taking advantage of that opportunity. Hill, who replaced an ineffective JT O’Sullivan, played very well last week and should be a good backup fantasy football quarterback from here on.
RB Tatum Bell, Denver Broncos
If you are looking to strike gold on the Week 12 waiver wire, you definitely have to consider Tatum Bell a sleeper. Bell has been signed by the Broncos after a bevy of injuries depleted their running back corps. Bell has had …read more

If any of these players are available on the waiver wire of your fantasy football league, don’t hesitate to pick them up ASAP. These players are more than capable of helping you win a fantasy football championship in 2008.
QB Tyler Thigpen, Kansas City Chiefs
Entering the 2008 fantasy football season, Tyler Thigpen was the third quarterback on the Chiefs depth chart. Now Thigpen has ascended to the starting spot and he’s producing very well. He appears to be a legit quarterback and is very likely Kansas City’s QB of the future. Pick him up now and he can serve as a …read more

QB Jay Cutler, Denver Broncos
During the offseason, Jay Cutler learned he had diabetes and took steps to combat the disease. During the 2008 fantasy football season, he’s looked very, very good. In Week 10, he threw for more than 400 yards and had three touchdown passes. Going forward, he has to be considered a top five quarterback in the fantasy world.
RB Thomas Jones, New York Jets
When you see the final score of 47-3, you probably thought Brett Favre destroyed the St. Louis Rams. While Favre had a pretty good day, it was actually Thomas Jones who did most of the …read more
