Dream Sports Latest News - NFL Draft

[Jim H, Dream Sports]

Our take on what "impact" some of the new crop of NFL Rookies will
have on the 2008 Fantasy Football season ....


QUARTERBACKS

*  Matt Ryan / Falcons- Not much of an impact to start the season, may see
signifigant playing time late. Joining a team in turmoil.

*  Joe Flacco / Ravens. Will start season on bench, might start in 2009.

*  Brian Brohm / Packers. No impact, will ride bench all year.

*  Chad Henne / Dolphins. Going into a good situation. Will challenge Beck 
by mid-season.



RUNNING BACKS

*  Darren McFadden / Raiders. The next Adrian Peterson ? Has size, speed and 
power ! Possible Rookie of the year.

*  Jonathan Stewart / Panthers. A bruising back, but will share time in the 
backfield with
Deangelo Williams.

*  Felix Jones / Cowboys. Great speed, can break free. Will take a lot of 
carries away from Barber.

*  Rashard Mendenhall / Steelers. Powerful runner, good hands. Will most 
likely be a starter early, but mostly in 3rd down situations.

*  Chris Johnson / Titans. Decent speed, great hands. Going into a good 
situiation.

*  Ray Rice / Ravens. Not very big, but runs with power. Not much Fantasy 
impact this year.

*  Steve Slaton / Texans. Small, but quick back. Not much impact, at least 
early in season.



WIDE RECEIVERS / TIGHT ENDS

* Donnie Avery / Rams. Lots of speed. Could already be the #3 Rams wideout.

* Devin Thomas / Redskins. Might get a lot of playing time early.

* Jordy Nelson / Packers. 122 reception last year ! But coming into an iffy 
QB situation.

* James Hardy / Bills. Not much impact in 2009.

* Eddie Royal / Broncos. VERY fast, might make an early fantasy impact.

*  Jerome Simpson / Bengals. Good player over the middle. Already #3 on 
depth chart, and will
move up if Chad Johnson leaves.

* Deshaun Jackson / Eagles. Possible 2nd round steal.

* Limas Sweed / Steelers. Very tall, just what Rothlesberger was crying for.

* Earl Bennet / Bears. Tough player, but as is with most Rookie WR's, will 
not make
much of an impact early.

* Dexter Jackson / Bucs. Speedy.



KICKERS

* None of any note.
