Mark Sanchez Fantasy Football Update

Stephen Kersey — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:55:32 +0000

Mark Sanchez has quickly become a popular player in the NFL. However, due to a knee injury, his rookie season is on hold. In his place, Kellen Clemens will be the starting quarterback in Week 14 for the New York Jets.

Sanchez was injured in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. He was diagnosed with a sprained PCL. While he’s out this week, the Jets are hopeful that he can be back by Week 15.

In the fantasy football world, this news shouldn’t have much affect on your lineup. Sanchez isn’t consistent enough to be a fantasy football starter and Clemens won’t be any better. From this point forward, avoid starting a Jets QB and you’ll be better off.

On the season, Sanchez has 11 touchdowns, 17 interceptions and quarterback rating of 63.7. Clemens in his career has 5 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and a QB rating of 59.2. Stay far, far away.

Sell High Fantasy Football Players

While there are a lot of fantasy football players that are hyped up right now early in the 2009 NFL season, some of the players don’t deserve the hype in the fantasy world. Here are a few players you should look to trade as a sell high.

QB Mark Sanchez, New York Jets
Mark Sanchez is getting tons of press and is the darling of New York football at the moment. However, he doesn’t have very much value in fantasy football. Sell him high to get value out of him before the rest of the fantasy world catches on.

RB Willis McGahee, Baltimore Ravens
Early this season, Willis McGahee has been a touchdown machine. While he’s talented, it’s unlikely that he’ll keep up this pace — or stay healthy for the duration of the campaign. Go ahead and trade him now to maximize his value.

WR Mario Manningham, New York Giants
In Week 2, Mario Manningham was fantastic. But since then, he’s been average. With the Giants getting a number of wide receivers healthy once again, Manningham should see less and less action. Trade him now before the bottom falls out.

TE Todd Heap, Baltimore Ravens
Even though Todd Heap is off to a very strong start, it’s difficult to believe that he’ll keep up his current pace. He wasn’t very good in the last two seasons and has a history of injury. If a team is desperate of a tight end and Heap is your backup, make a trade happen to sell high.

2009 NFL Draft – Fantasy Football Analysis

Stephen Kersey — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 08:31:01 +0000

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.

Top Five Quarterbacks – 2009 NFL Draft

admin — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:31:16 +0000

1) Matthew Stafford – Georgia
With the Detroit Lions having the top pick, Matthew Stafford could possibly hear his name called first overall. After seeing how Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco played in their rookie seasons, the Lions may hope that Stafford could have similar success. Although inconsistent at Georgia, Stafford’s potential is undeniable.

2) Mark Sanchez – USC
USC has become Quarterback University in recent years. Even Matt Cassel, who was a backup at USC, proved he could be an NFL starting QB. Mark Sanchez will likely need a few years to gain experience before he’s ready to start but he could be the best of his class down the road.

3) Josh Freeman – Kansas St.
Although some NFL scouts wonder if he’s capable of making the transition to the professional game, his tools are very impressive. He has great size at almost 6-foot-6 and 240 pounds. He has a good arm and also seems to be very coachable.

4) Pat White – West Virginia
Not too long ago, Pat White’s stock was higher. But after a lukewarm senior season, he’s on the outside of the top three quarterback prospects. Depending on his workouts and his results at the scouting combine, White could still potentially move up the board.

5) Nate Davis – Ball St.
Ball St. was undefeated in the regular season in large part due to Nate Davis’ play. Although he’d be a bit of a boom or bust pick for an NFL, Davis could surprise. In his last two seasons at Ball St., Davis had more than 7,000 passing yards and 56 touchdowns.
