Comments |
| 1 | Indianapolis Colts | Peyton Manning will lead the Colts offensive attack even without his old coaches.
|
| 2 | San Diego Chargers | LaDainian Tomlinson's tank is approaching empty, but Philip Rivers will lead.
|
| 3 | Philadelphia Eagles | Great offensive line and explosive back point toward big things in Philly for '09.
|
| 4 | New England Patriots | Tom Brady is back and will return the Pats to the offensive elite of the NFL.
|
| 5 | Atlanta Falcons | Michael Turner was overworked in 2008, but plenty of talent will pick up where he slips in 2009.
|
| 6 | Arizona Cardinals | Best two WRs in the game and Chris Wells will make the Cards a force to be feared.
|
| 7 | Dallas Cowboys | Strong run game will allow Tony Romo to post solid numbers even without Terrell Owens.
|
| 8 | New Orleans Saints | Throw, throw, and throw some more. Drew Brees lifts the whole team's play.
|
| 9 | Houston Texans | Health of QB limits this squad, but there is plenty of talent to go around in Houston.
|
| 10 | Chicago Bears | Jay Cutler is the new kid in town and will give the Bears' fans something to cheer for on offense.
|
| 11 | Green Bay Packers | Ryan Grant needs to rebound, but the WR talent is some of the deepest and best in NFL.
|
| 12 | Pittsburgh Steelers | Great defense, but not much offense. This limits the fantasy production out of Pittsburgh.
|
| 13 | Minnesota Vikings | Best running back (potentially player) in the game aided by improved QB play in 2009.
|
| 14 | Carolina Panthers | Best rushing attack in NFL helps the rest of the offense produce solid, but not impressive numbers.
|
| 15 | Tennessee Titans | Team needs some WRs to step up to boost the potential of the Titans.
|
| 16 | Buffalo Bills | Terrell Owens in town should help improve things from last season.
|
 |
| 17 | New York Giants | Loss of Plaxico Burress is a real hit to this team's fantasy production.
|
| 18 | Miami Dolphins | The Phins aren't one of the more explosive offenses. They will need some growth from Ted Ginn.
|
| 19 | Seattle Seahawks | Matt Hasselbeck's return to health gives some hope, but the RB position looks questionable.
|
| 20 | Denver Broncos | Loss of Jay Cutler and distraction of Brandon Marshall could catch up with new coaching staff.
|
| 21 | Detroit Lions | Stafford will probably see significant time in 2009. The good news is that things can't get worse.
|
| 22 | New York Jets | Rookie QB will take almost all snaps. Lack of WRs will hurt fantasy production for Jets.
|
| 23 | Cincinnati Bengals | Carson Palmer should return to health, but he needs help from his o-line and ground game.
|
| 24 | Baltimore Ravens | Derrick Mason is back, but the offense could struggle under 2nd year QB Joe Flacco.
|
| 25 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | The Bucs are going to struggle in 2009. Uncertainty at the QB position doesn't help.
|
| 26 | San Francisco 49ers | The 49ers have some young WRs that need to help take the load off of Frank Gore.
|
| 27 | Jacksonville Jaguars | Maurice Jones-Drew should be fantastic, but the rest of the Jaguars are questionable.
|
| 28 | St. Louis Rams | Much like Jacksonville, Steven Jackson will be a one man show from a fantasy perspective.
|
| 29 | Kansas City Chiefs | New defense, aging RB, new QB, and the loss of Tony Gonzalez will hurt.
|
| 30 | Washington Redskins | Jason Campbell can't be too confident now that the team has tried to replace him 100 times.
|
| 31 | Oakland Raiders | JaMarcus Russell has to become a better passer to get this team off the bottom. Garcia circles!
|
| 32 | Cleveland Browns | Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson do not take good care of the ball. This does not look good.
