Week 6 Sell High Fantasy Candidates

admin — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 01:04:21 +0000

QB Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
After starting the season with three straight three-touchdown games, Rivers has had just two touchdowns in his last two games. He’s still rated highly by a lot of fantasy football owners due to his fast start, so sell him high if you can.

RB Steve Slaton, Houston Texans
While Steve Slaton is a great story and has been a fantastic fantasy football pick this season, his stock likely won’t get any higher. Now would be a good time to sell considering that he’s a rookie who could hit a rookie wall at some point. Not only that, Ahman Green may start to split carries with him at some point.

WR DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagles
Like Slaton, DeSean Jackson is a rookie — which means he hasn’t proven himself. For savvy fantasy football owners, that’s a reg flag. Add to that the fact that Kevin Curtis is coming back and Donovan McNabb has looked poor the last few weeks and now is a good time to shop Jackson.

TE Chris Cooley, Washington Redskins
After a huge Week 5 performance, selling high on Chris Cooley makes a lot of sense. A good chunk of his stats came off of trick plays, which can’t be counted on going forward. If you can sell Cooley at an inflated value, don’t hesitate.

NFL 2008 Mock Draft – Dallas Cowboys

admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 08:19:47 +0000

Since the Dallas Cowboys have two first round draft picks (22 and 28), there has been a lot of talk about what the Cowboys will do on draft day. Will they trade up in the draft? Will they trade down in the draft? Will they try to fill needs? Will they take the best player available?

One of those questions was answered recently when owner Jerry Jones said he wouldn’t be trading up into the top five picks in the draft. There had been some speculation that the Cowboys could look to trade up to get the first overall pick but that speculation has died off. Instead, it looks like the Cowboys are content to keep their two picks.

Trading down is an option but it looks like the Cowboys would be smart to stay right where they are and get two players than can help them right away. With Terrell Owens only having one or two years left at a superstar level, the time to win is now in Dallas. Picking pieces that can fill holes immediately is what makes the most sense.

At 22, the Cowboys should look to add DeSean Jackson out of California. Jackson is a wide receiver, but even more importantly he has the potential to be a game changing return specialist. Jackson could step in right away and give the Cowboys a special teams weapon that could help the team win a few extra games. Jackson would also prove to be a deep threat for the Cowboys in their vertical passing game.

Felix Jones at 28 makes a lot of sense. Jones, who was Darren McFadden’s backup at Arkansas, would be a perfect complement to Marion Barber III. With Barber and Jones in the backfield, the Cowboys would have their own version of thunder and lightening.

If either of these two players aren’t available, going for a cornerback such as Mike Jenkins, Aqib Talib or Brandon Flowers makes a lot of sense.

DeSean Jackson – 2008 NFL Draft Prospect

admin — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 12:04:21 +0000

DeSean Jackson Stats
Beginning in his freshman season at Cal, DeSean Jackson has always been a big play threat. In his three year college career, he had 22 touchdowns and over 2,000 yards. While he set a career-high in catches in his junior season, the rest of his stats took a dip as teams were more able to focus on him. In his junior season, Jackson had 65 catches, 762 yards and six touchdowns.

DeSean Jackson Analysis
The thing scouts love about DeSean Jackson the most is his speed. He’s the fastest wide receiver in this draft class. To go along with his wheels, Jackson has good vision and good instincts in the open field, which makes him a dangerous kick return specialist. He’s a bit small and light (6-feet, 179) but his speed makes scouts forget about his size.

DeSean Jackson Fantasy Projections
As a rookie, the most exciting aspect of DeSean Jackson’s game will be his kick returning. The team who drafts him will be looking to use him as a kick returner right out of the gates. While his time at wide receiver early on in his career will likely be limited, his coaches will definitely try to find ways to get the ball into his hands so he can use his speed.
