2009 Super Bowl Sleepers – Fantasy Football

RB Edgerrin James, Arizona Cardinals
Not too long ago, there were rumors that Edgerrin James would be released. Now, not only is he still with the Cardinals, he’s an important part of the team. In a pressure packed game such as the Super Bowl, expect James to play well.

RB Mewelde Moore, Pittsburgh Steelers
When Willie Parker was injured earlier in the season, Mewelde Moore came up huge and led the Steelers to a number of victories. Although his role is now reduced, he definitely has big play potential as a runner, receiving and a returner.

WR Steve Breaston, Arizona Cardinals
With Anquan Boldin still not 100% and Larry Fitzgerald demanding a huge amount of attention, Steve Breaston could find himself more open than usual. Breaston is a threat in Arizona’s vertical passing game and is also big enough to be an end zone threat.

WR Santonio Holmes, Pittsburgh Steelers
Hines Ward has stated that he will play in the Super Bowl but it’s unknown how healthy he will be. With that in mind, Santonio Holmes has a chance to be the featured offensive player for Pittsburgh. In the playoffs so far, Holmes has been extremely explosive and has illustrated his vast potential.

Struggling Fantasy Football Stars – Busts?

admin — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 02:41:43 +0000

As we head into Week 4 of the 2008 fantasy football season, which fantasy football stars are off to a slow start? Here’s a list of struggling stars:

QB Derek Anderson, Cleveland Browns
After a great fantasy season in 2007, big things were expected of Derek Anderson this year. So far, he has been a huge disappointment. He has only two touchdown passes compared to five interceptions. He also hasn’t passed for more than 166 yards in a game this season so far. If he doesn’t improve quickly, expect Brady Quinn to make an appearance before too long.

RB Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams
Two years ago, Steven Jackson was a fantasy football monster. This year, he was again drafted near the top of most fantasy drafts. However, the early results are disappointing. After three games he has no touchdowns and hasn’t rushed for more than 66 yards in a game yet. The only thing that is saving him is he is doing a great job catching passes.

WR Santonio Holmes, Pittsburgh Steelers
After a season in which he caught a lot of touchdowns and looked like a developing star, Santonio Holmes is back to playing second fiddle in Pittsburgh. The lead wide receiver once again appears to be Hines Ward. With no touchdowns and no 100 yard games to speak of, Holmes has the appearance of a fantasy football bust.

TE Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers
While it’s not quite time to bury him for good, Vernon Davis doesn’t look like a tight end that is worth rostering on a fantasy football team. He has only four catches for 68 yards after three games and it seems the 49ers are happy using him as a blocker instead of a receiver. While that may help San Francisco, it makes him near worthless in the fantasy sense.
