FANTASYFOOTBALLA site for the FANS

1. Jerry Rice – Still a name, but not the player that he was.  New team may rejuvenate him a little bit, but don’t expect big numbers.  Only caught for 800 yards last year and will not exceed that mark this year.  Is a possession receiver now, not the explosive player that he was.
2. Elvis Grbac – Had a great year numbers wise last year, but don’t expect it again.  Still a good quarterback, but the system he’s in will not allow huge numbers.  If leading in second half, Raven will run clock, run the ball, and let the defense hold the lead.  Receiving corps is average, and Jamal Lewis will get the call often in the Red zone.
3. Matt Hasselbeck – Very unproven, but deemed the quarterback of the future in Seattle.  Arm strength is average, so is his speed, but has good awareness.  Receivers are young and relatively inexperienced, so is offensive line.  AFC West has many good defenses in it.  Signing of Trent Green after camp started tells me something as well.
4. Terry Glenn – Lack of running game will hurt Glenn, as will durability.  His 12.2 yards per catch were the lowest of his career, showing he lacked big play potential.  Is a black hole at times on the field at times.
5. Garrison Hearst – Should get the starting nod in Frisco, but will not be an every-down back.  Will split time with Kevan Barlow.  Hearst hasn’t strapped the pads on in two years because of injury, and may be 100% but will not return to his Pro Bowl type form.
6. Jay Fiedler – Is his job to lose in Miami, however, he might do that.   Went down last year with an injury, and durability will be a question this year.  Very intelligent player but has a tendency to under throw the deep ball.  Needs to limit interceptions, a fantasy backup at best.
7. Tim Biakabutuka – The return of some of the supporting cast in Carolina will help Tim, but he still will struggle to produce.  Has never played more than 12 games in his career, and fumbles more as the year progresses.  Will start off fast but will disappear later in the year.  Quarterback dilemmas in Carolina also hurt the running game.
