McAllister is coming off of his second surgery for a torn ACL. The last time he had the surgery, he came back and had a great season. However, this time at the age of 29, the prognosis isn’t that great for McAllister. In fact, some skeptics believe McAllister may still end up being waived before the beginning of the 2008 NFL season.

Last season, McAllister was having a poor year even before his ACL injury. What can we expect from him in 2008? Don’t expect much. Reggie Bush will get a big load of the carries. The best case scenario has McAllister being used as the short-yardage back.

As for numbers, best case scenario has McAllister going for 850 yards and eight touchdowns. That said, don’t count on those numbers. In your 2008 fantasy football draft, McAllister should only be drafted as a Bush handcuff. Otherwise, you are just asking for disappointment.

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.
