[Jim H, Dream Sports]

Our take on what "impact" some of the new crop of NFL Rookies will
have on the 2006 Fantasy Football season ....


QUARTERBACKS

*  Vince Young - Not much of an impact this season, as he learns the ropes 
from the
sidelines. Might be the Titan's starter for the 2007 season.

*  Matt Leinart - I think the Titans, Jets, and Raiders will regret passing 
him up.
He is in a GREAT situation though, with 2 excellent WR's and a good RB. 
Might see
some spot action by midseason, and may start a few late season games if 
Warner
struggles or is injured.

*  Jay Cutler - Good situation "eventually", but won't play much in 2006. 
Plummer is
coming off a good year.



RUNNING BACKS

*  Reggie Bush - Not a bad situation, considering the injury to McAllister. 
I think
he will eventually be a stud NFL RB. Durability a question, as he rarely had 
more than
20 carries a game at USC.

*  Laurence Maroney - Dillon is getting up in age, and has had a few nagging 
injury
problems. Should see some action this season, may be the starter sometime in 
2007. Not
a great receiver.

*  DeAngelo Williams - Might become the starter If Foster isn't healthy. Has 
had his own
injury problems in the past though.

*  Joe Addai - Colts need a RB, Joe could be their man, but he wasn't even 
the full-time
RB at LSU.

*  Lendale White - Good place, Titans need a big bruising RB. Might get a 
lot of goal-line
carries by mid-season.



WIDE RECEIVERS / TIGHT ENDS

*  Vernon Davis  - Big and fast, could be the next Tony Gonzales. QB 
situation iffy though.

*  Santonio Holmes - Should take Randle El's old spot. Won't make a big 
impact this season though.

*  Mercedes Lewis - BIG TE, and makes big catches. Also a very good blocker, 
although that won't help you any.

*  Chad Jackson - Set Florida's school record for yards per catch. Going to 
a good situation with the Patriots.

* Sinorice Moss - Santana's Moss brother. Won't make much of an impact in 
06.


KICKERS

* None taken in first 3 rounds of NFL draft.
