FANTASYFOOTBALLA site for the FANS

1. Brian Griese – Was the highest rated quarterback in the league last year; when he was healthy.  Durability is a question mark.  Good mobility, decent arm strength, but one of the smartest players in the league.  Established running game will only open up the offense even more this year.                      
2. Freddie Jones – The Chargers tight end was ranked third overall in tight ends with 766 hundred yards.  With a legitimate quarterback in Flutie, production will increase.  Will be a go-to guy in the red zone this year.
3. Joe Horn – His breakout year in 2000 was no fluke, as his numbers will increase this year.  Quarterback situation in New Orleans shouldn’t affect him since they both can throw the ball.  He is very aggressive going for the ball, plays in a weak defensive division (NFC West), and isn’t even thirty yet.
4. Ahman Green – Stepped in last year for the injured Dorsey Levens and never looked back.  Has tremendous vision and acceleration, and will be asked to catch the ball more this year.  Expect 1,000 yards and close to 70 receptions out of the backfield with a total of 10 touchdowns.  Needs to hold on to the ball more.
5. Rich Gannon – Some “experts” don’t even rank him within the top ten quarterbacks.  Age is a factor, but can still create good things as well as anybody.  Scored a total of over 30 touchdowns last year and will put up similar numbers again.  Offensive line is good and receiving corps is fantastic.
6. Warrick Dunn – Great open field runner as well as receiver out of the backfield.  Rushed for 1,100 yards last year and should do it again.  Improved passing game opens him up some more.  Size is a factor but Dungy has learned how to use him effectively.

7.      Rod Smith – Smith is sometimes forgotten with the big name receiver, but he has and will continue to put up huge numbers.  Caught 100 balls for over 1,600 yards last year.  That will be hard to repeat, but 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns are obtainable.  Is very fast with good hands and has a great supporting cast.

8. Torry Holt – Isaac Bruce gets a lot of the press, but Holt is a key to the Rams offense.  Caught 80 balls for over 1,600 yards and will do the same thing again this year, possibly scoring more touchdowns since he proved he can play.  No need to mention his supporting cast either, the best in the league.
