2009 NFC Projections
Fantasy Projections are a Beast of their own. Unlike in a redraft league, Dynasty format projections are used to help assess the strength of your existing Dynasty roster and evaluate potential offseason trade proposals. Projections, paired with trusting your gut can be a valuable preseason roster building tool. We do not have a crystal ball, but what we do have is valuable insight into developing trends within the Dynasty realm. In our latest Needs Not Wants article, we have put together in-depth team summaries complete with projections at each offensive skill position. If you have an upcoming Dynasty Draft, use these projections in conjunction with our Dynasty Rankings and you will be well on your way to Dynasty Dominance. Please check back regularly as we will continue to update our projections as training camp and preseason position battles play out.

New York Giants |
You can expect the G-Men to be a very similar team to last year. Brandon Jacobs will pound the rock and hopefully will not get overworked in the process. 3rd year runner Ahmad Bradshaw is a capable backup and while he shows great burst and the ability to break off a long run, he lacks the size to fill in full time for BJ. Rookie Andre Brown and former Georgia Bulldog Danny Ware are both interesting prospects, and could, given the opportunity, take on a similar role of Derrick Ward in 2008. What we don't really know yet is what will happen when the G-Men aren't running the ball. They have a plethora of WR depth and are definitely going to need a few of them to step up. Steve Smith, Domenik Hixon and Mario Manningham will likely be the starting candidates for 2009, but the remaining receivers will be sprinkled in to keep the starters fresh. This team is made up of 40 catch receivers that will be reality relevant, but generally fantasy mediocre. Hakeem Nicks will improve as the season progresses and eventually emerge as the teams star talent for 2010.
QB - Eli Manning - 3,200 yards - 22 TD’s - 15 INT’s - 50 yards rushing - 1 TD
RB - Brandon Jacobs - 1,100 rushing yards - 12 TD’s - 20 catches - 150 yards - 0 TD's
RB - Ahmad Bradshaw - 700 rushing yards - 3 TD - 30 catches - 250 yards - 2 TD’s
RB - Andre Brown - Injured Reserve - Torn Achilles
WR - Domenik Hixon: 60 catches, 700 yards, 3 TD’s
WR - Steve Smith: 80 catches, 900 yards, 5 TD’s
WR - Hakeem Nicks: 35 catches, 400 yards, 2 TD’s
WR - Mario Manningham: 40 catches, 500 yards, 2 TD’s

WR - Ramses Barden: 15 catches, 200 yards, 2 TD’s
TE - Kevin Boss: 40 catches, 500 yards, 8 TD’s
TE - Travis Beckum: 25 catches, 400 yards, 2 TD’s

Philadelphia Eagles |
The Eagles have been a perennial fantasy since Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook have been in Philly. Despite the aging and oft injury prone Brian Westbrook this team has surrounded McNabb with the offensive firepower to continue the trend. We expect vintage Westbrook in 2009, which is a few hugely productive games, a few very average games, and a few game time decisions. Productive but frustrating to own. Versatile rookie LeSean McCoy is ready and willing to pick up the slack if and when Westy goes down with an injury. Desean Jackson anchors the WR Corp and is primed for a big time 2nd season. Rookie Jeremy Maclin still faces a learning curve and with plenty of receiver competition, expect limited productivity, but impressive growth. Kevin Curtis will likely be phased out and Jason Avant emerges into the teams most reliable slot receiver. Brent Celek hopes to continue the succes he showed in the 2008 playoffs and has decent Dynasty value in deeper leagues. McNabb has the weapons and talent to remain a Top 10 QB.
QB - Donovan McNabb: 3,500 yards, 27-30 TD’s, 10 INT’s, 200 yards rushing, 3 TD’s
RB - Brian Westbrook: 800 rushing yards, 6 TD’s, 65 catches, 600 yards, 4 TD’s
RB - LeSean McCoy: 500 rushing yards 4 TD’s, 25 catches, 400 yards, 2 TD’s
WR - Desean Jackson: 75 catches, 1,200 yards, 6 TD’s
WR - Kevin Curtis: 50 catches, 700 yards, 4 TD’s
WR - Jeremy Maclin: 20 catches, 400 yards, 1 TD
WR - Jason Avant: 60 catches, 700 yards, 4 TD’s
TE - Brent Celek: 50 catches, 700 yards, 6 TD’s

Washington Redskins |
Let's see...they tried to swing a deal for Jay Cutler. No dice. Then they tried to move up in the draft to select Mark Sanchez. Didn't happen. Now, they are stuck with former first round pick Jason Campbell at QB. A free agent after the season, Campbell will be playing with a major chip on his shoulder and for the first time in seven years, and to his advantage, he didn't have to learn a new playbook this offseason. Second year WR Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly might be the only ones in camp with more to prove. One of them needs to step up alongside Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle-El. The early favorite appears to be Thomas, who has the upside of a WR1 in this offense. The running game needed to get younger and faster, and it did not. Clinton Portis doesn't have too much tread left on his tires, but the Skins will likely run him hard again this year. If the offense clicks, they might turn a few heads, but if things don't go well early, it could get ugly. Washington currently is becoming a fantasy wasteland....See Tampa Bay.
QB - Jason Campbell: 3,200 yards, 18-20 TD’s, 12 INT’s, 300 yards rushing, 2 TD’s
RB - Clinton Portis: 1,100 rushing yards, 8 TD’s, 20 catches, 200 yards, 2 TD
RB - Ladell Betts: 400 rushing yards, 2 TD’s, 20 catches, 200 yards
WR - Santana Moss: 70 catches, 1,000 yards, 5 TD’s
WR - Devin Thomas: 50 catches, 700 yards, 5 TD’s
WR - Malcolm Kelly: 30 catches, 400 yards, 2 TD’s
WR - Antwaan Randle-El:– 35 catches, 400 yards
TE - Chris Cooley: 80 catches, 900 yards, 6 TD’s
TE - Fred Davis: 20 catches, 200 yards, 1 TD

Dallas Cowboys |
T.O. is gone and so is Jessica Simpson...Tony Romo should be primed for a focused 2009. The Dallas Defense is one of the Top 5 in the NFL, but what about the offense? The Boys have the most talented RB committee in the NFL built with bruiser MBIII, game breaker Felix Jones and the leagues top #3 Tashard Choice. An injury to the Cowboys backfield and a legitimate talent steps in without a stutter. Roy Williams finally gets his chance to be a #1 but were not convinced he has what it takes to be more than a low #1/high #2 - at best. Injuries and playing behind Calvin Johnson don't have us convinced he can be what he thinks he is. Jason Witten will likely be the go-to target in Big D - a smart move, he's a stud. Miles Austin has talent, and could surprise following his building hype on this seasons Hard Knocks. Seriously, he is the Cowboys 3rd most talented receiver behind Williams and Witten.
QB - Tony Romo: 3,800 yards, 30 TD’s, 16 INT’s, 100 yards rushing, 1 TD
RB - Marion Barber III: 1,000 rushing yards, 12 TD’s, 45 catches, 400 yards, 1 TD
RB - Felix Jones: 600 rushing yards, 4 TD’s, 30 catches, 350 yards, 2 TD’s
RB - Tashard Choice: 500 rushing yards, 2 TD’s, 20 catches, 200 yards, 1 TD
WR - Roy Williams: 70 catches, 1,100 yards, 6 TD’s
WR - Miles Austin: 45 catches, 600 yards, 3 TD’s
WR - Patrick Crayton: 55 catches, 600 yards, 2 TD’s
TE - Jason Witten: 85 catches, 1,000 yards, 8-10 TD’s
TE - Martellus Bennett: 35 catches, 400 yards, 2 TD’s

Atlanta Falcons |
Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons are Dynasty Gold. When Tony Gonzalez is your Dynasty liability, you're in a pretty nice situation. Thy will build upon their 2008 season, where 2009 looks to be a fantasty juggernaut similar to the Saints. Matt Ryan will be improved and the Falcons staff should let him cut it loose more often, but this is still going to be a running team. "Burner" Michael Turner leads the charge and should again be a Top 10 RB, although he should become a trade candidate no later than the end of the 09' seaosn. Norwood is rumoured to get more carries - just like every year - and he remains one of the most underutilized talents in the NFL. Roddy White is an elite WR and Michael Jenkins is a decent WR2 option. Harry Douglas would have pushed him for that spot, had he not tore his ACL early in training camp.
QB - Matt Ryan: 3,500 - 3,700 yards, 22 TD’s, 15 INT’s, 50 yards rushing, 1 TD
RB - Michael Turner: 1,300 - 1,500 rushing yards, 12 - 15 TD’s, 15 catches, 100 yards, 0 TD’s
RB - Jerious Norwood: 600 rushing yards, 5 TD, 40 catches, 400 yards, 2 TD’s
WR - Roddy White: 90 catches, 1,400 yards, 12 TD’s
WR - Michael Jenkins: 45 catches, 700 yards, 4 TD’s
WR - Injured Reserve
TE - Tony Gonzalez: 70 catches, 750 yards, 8 TD’s

New Orleans Saints |
Wow, 2 fantasy Beasts in the same division. Their matchups will surely redefine "who scores the most points wins." Simply put, the Saints are a fantasy owners dream. Drew Brees is the best fantasy QB in the NFL by a healthy margin and the weapons at his disposal are top shelf. A healthy Marques Colston should be ready to build off of his incredible 2006 and 2007 seasons. Pierre Thomas is the answer the running game has been searching for and he could be in line for a major breakout. Reggie Bush is coming off of knee surgery, but in PPR leagues, he has Top 10 potential. Shockey has us very concerned however. We are giving him 600 yards since he's got what it takes. Unfortuanately his dominance may be over as an NFL TE.
QB - Drew Brees: 4,200 yards, 30 TD’s, 10 INT’s, 50 yards rushing, 1 TD
RB - Reggie Bush: 500-700 rushing yards, 4 TD’s, 75 catches, 700 yards, 4 TD
RB - Pierre Thomas: 900 – 1,100 rushing yards, 12 TD’s, 30 catches, 300 yards, 1 TD
WR - Marques Colston: 80 - 90 catches, 1,100 -1,250 yards, 10-12 TD’s
WR - Lance Moore: 70 catches, 800 yards, 5 TD’s
WR - Devery Henderson: 30 catches, 500 yards, 2 TD’s
WR - Robert Meachum: 25 - 35 catches, 350 - 500 yards, 1 TD
TE - Jeremy Shockey: 40 - 50 catches, 500 - 600 yards, 4 - 6 TD’s

Tampa Bay Buccaneers |
Welcome to Fantasy Wasteland. Who will start at QB? How will the RB carries be split up? Who is going to catch the ball? The QB race is between Luke McCown, Byron Leftwich and rookie Josh Freeman. None of these candidates are inspiring 2009 success, but McCown and Leftwich could put together solid numbers if they run with the job - they are going to have to pass a lot in 2009. Freeman could see some on the job training however he'll likely be holding a clipboard for at least 10-12 weeks and would benefit to be a backup for twice that amount of time. Derrick Ward was brought in as a free agent and figures to get at least 50-60% of the carries. Earnest Graham is still around to push Ward, and Cadillac Williams is a long shot to be a fantasy factor. Antonio Bryant was franchised after a breakout 2008. Expect him to crash back to earth, but he's guaranteed to be always looking good getting off the bus. If Kellen Winslow can stay healthy he could post some legitimate fantasy numbers with the lack of receiving depth in Tampa.
QB - Byron Leftwich: 1,800 yards, 10 TD’s, 6 INT’s
QB - Luke McCown: 1,200 yards, 6 TD’s, 8 INT’s, 100 yards rushing, 2 TD’s
QB - Josh Freeman: 2010 Project
RB - Derrick Ward: 900-1,000 rushing yards, 6 TD’s, 35 catches, 700 yards, 0 TD’s
RB - Earnest Graham: 500 – 750 rushing yards, 4 – 6 TD’s, 30 catches, 300 yards, 1 TD
RB - Cadillac Williams: Were keeping him here out of respect
WR - Antonio Bryant: 75 catches, 950 -1,150 yards, 6-8 TD’s
WR - Michael Clayton: 35 - 40 catches, 400 - 500 yards, 2 TD’s
TE - Kellen Winslow: 75 catches, 900 yards, 7 TD’s

Carolina Panthers |
The Panthers are a tale of two offensive units. Sure, they have a Top 5 WR in Steve Smith, but also one of the Bottom 5 QB's getting him the ball in Jake Delhomme. Muhsin Muhammad is still hanging around and catching some balls, but the team is fiending for Dwayne Jarrett to step up. The running game, however, might be the best in the NFL. Good thing the Panthers are a run first offense. Deangelo Williams enjoyed a breakout season and 2nd year stud Jonathan Stewart is right behind him. The Panthers also snagged Mike Goodson on Day 2 of the Draft and will look for him to help out as a backfield WR, backup RB and returner.
QB - Jake Delhomme: 3,000 yards, 17 TD’s, 15 INT’s, 50 yards rushing, 1 TD
RB - Deangelo Williams: 1,200 rushing yards, 8 -10 TD’s, 30 catches, 200 yards, 1 TD
RB - Jonathan Stewart: 800 – 1,000 rushing yards, 10 - 12 TD, 15 - 20 catches, 200 yards, 0 TD’s
RB - Mike Goodson: 100 yards rushing, 20 catches, 300 yards, 1 TD
WR - Steve Smith: 80 - 90 catches, 1,300 -1,500 yards, 8-10 TD’s
WR - Muhsin Muhammad: 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TD’s
WR - Dwayne Jarrett: 30 catches, 400 yards, 2 TD’s
TE - Dante Rosario: 20 catches, 200 yards, 0 TD’s

Detroit Lions |
The Lions are rebuilding (again). But this time, it looks like they are headed in the right direction. They are building around Beast WR Calvin Johnson, second year stallion RB Kevin Smith and #1 overall 2009 draft pick QB Matthew Stafford. Johnson the most physically gifted WR in the NFL and his upside is that of Randy Moss in his prime. Smith had a nice rookie season behind a terrible offensive line and he has the determination and skills to put up Top 10 RB numbers. Stafford may not start Week 1, but shouldn't have to wait more than a few weeks for his shot. The rest of the offensive is a question mark, but rookies Brandon Pettigrew, Derrick Williams and Aaron Brown could do some damage if they earn playing time. Watch their usage closely during pre-season games.
QB - Matthew Stafford: 2,200 yards, 14 TD’s, 18 INT’s, 100 yards rushing
QB - Daunte Culpepper: 1,000 yards, 5 TD’s, 8 INT’s, 50 yards rushing, 1 TD
RB - Kevin Smith: 1,200 rushing yards, 10 TD’s, 40 catches, 400 yards, 1 TD
RB - Maurice Morris: 400 rushing yards, 1 TD, 15 catches, 100 yards, 0 TD's
RB - Aaron Brown: 100 rushing yards, 0 TD's, 10 catches, 100 yards, 0 TD's
WR - Calvin Johnson: 85 catches, 1,500 yards, 12-14 TD’s
WR - Bryant Johnson: 35 catches, 500 yards, 2 TD’s
WR - Derrick Williams: 25 catches, 300 yards, 1 TD
WR - Dennis Northcutt: 30 catches, 400 yards, 0 TD’s
TE - Brandon Pettigrew: 40 catches, 500 yards, 3 TD's

Chicago Bears |
In 2008, it was all about Matt Forte. In 2009, it is all about Jay Cutler. Forte is going to get his and he is an excellent RB, but the franchise belongs to Cutler and soon enough, so will the city. There is little WR talent on the Bears roster, but the rumor mill surrounding Culter is his bomber arm can make a stud out of a dud. If he struggles early, be patient, cause there is some legitimate emerging talent that will soon be on everyones fantasy radars. A number of wideouts should be in the mix, but the guy getting all the headlines so far is TE Greg Olsen. He could very well lead the Bears in receiving this year and be a Top 5 fantasy option at TE. Training camp is going to be very interesting with the wideouts battling for playing time alongside Devin Hester.
QB - Jay Cutler: 3,500 yards, 26 TD’s, 16 INT’s, 50 yards rushing
RB - Matt Forte: 1,200 rushing yards, 8 TD’s, 50 catches, 500 yards, 2 TD’s
RB - Kevin Jones: 400 rushing yards, 2 TD, 15 catches, 100 yards, O TD’s
WR - Devin Hester: 70 catches, 900 yards, 7 TD’s
WR - Earl Bennett: 50 catches, 750 yards, 5 TD’s
WR - Johnny Knox: 25 catches, 400 yards, 2 TD’s
WR - Juaquin Iglesias: 20 catches, 300 yards, 1 TD
TE - Greg Olsen: 75 catches, 800 yards, 8 TD’s

Minnesota Vikings |
All Day. Looks like Adrian Peterson will have some help this year. His name is Percy Harvin. Harvin is going to be a force, lining up all over the field and making big plays when the ball is in his hands. He's been asked to learn every receiver route, which is scary. Imaging trying to plan a defense to cover for ADP and Percy Harvin. Luckily in fantasy, you only have to roster these two studs and watch them dominate. Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson will complete for the starting gig, and each will bring a unique element to the passing game. If Sage Rosenfels wins the job, look for him to take chances downfield and allow Bernard Berrian and Sidney Rice the chance to make plays. The presence of Harvin hurts Berrian and Rice's value however. If Tarvaris Jackson wins the job, expect a more conservative passing game, despite the fact Jackson has the bigger arm and is more mobile. The weapons are in place, all they need is a QB to step up - deep down Childress still wants Jackson to win the job and he has more upside than Rosenfels.
QB - Brett Favre - 3,200 yards, 22 TD's, 16 INT's, 50 yards rushing
QB - Sage Rosenfels - If Favre suddenly retires again, he could put up roughly the same numbers.
QB - Tarvaris Jackson - A year on the sidelines might actually help him. Could be his team in 2010.
RB - Adrian Peterson: 1,800 rushing yards, 16 TD’s, 30 catches, 300 yards, 1 TD
RB - Chester Taylor: 300 rushing yards, 1 TD, 25 catches, 300 yards, 0 TD’s
WR/RB - Percy Harvin: 500 rushing yards, 3 TD’s, 40 catches, 700 yards, 4 TD’s
WR - Bernard Berrian: 65 catches, 1,000 yards, 7 TD’s
WR - Sidney Rice: 50 catches, 700 yards, 6 TD’s
TE - Visante Shiancoe: 40 catches, 500 yards, 4 TD’s

Green Bay Packers |
Aaron Rodgers is that good. And the scary part is, he might get even better. His ability to stay healthy is a minor concern for us, but not enough to not have him ranked as a Top-3 Dynasty QB. The Packers have some serious offensive weapons and should be lighting up the scoreboard all season long. The running game never really found its rhythm last year, but look for Ryan Grant to get back on track and flash his 2007 form. His upside is limited however, and should he falter, Brandon Jackson and/or Deshawn Wynn are in line for some more carries. The WR corp. is very solid, with stud WR1 Greg Jennings, savvy veteran Donald Driver, under-rated James Jones and breakout candidate Jordy Nelson. Keep an eye on the Jones/Nelson and Jackson/Wynn battles for playing time.
QB Aaron Rodgers – 3,800 -4,000 yards, 28 - 30 TD’s, 15 INT’s, 300 yards rushing, 2 TD’s
RB Ryan Grant - 1,100 – 1,300 rushing yards, 8 TD’s, 20 catches, 200 yards, 0 TD's
RB Brandon Jackson – 500 rushing yards, 2 TD’s, 25 catches, 300 yards, 0 TD's
RB Deshawn Wynn - 300 rushing yards, 4 TD's, 15 catches, 100 yards, 0 TD's
WR Greg Jennings – 85 catches, 1400 yards, 11 TD’s
WR Donald Driver – 65 catches, 900 yards, 4 TD’s
WR Jordy Nelson – 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TD’s
WR James Jones – 40 catches, 600 yards, 3 TD’s
TE Jermichael Finley – 30 catches, 400 yards, 4 TD’s
TE Donald Lee – 25 catches, 300 yards, 1 TD’s

San Francisco 49ers |
The talk of camp has been and will continue to be Michael Crabtree. Everyone is talking now because he hasn't signed yet and all eyes will be on him once he does agree to a contract. The QB battle between fantasy underdog Shaun Hill and former No. 1 overall pick Alex Smith is very real and should be a dogfight. Whoever wins the job will be in a pretty good situation to put up solid fantasy numbers. The WR corp. is very green, but full of potential. Crabtree will team with sophomore WR Josh Morgan, elder statesman Isaac Bruce and the overlooked Jason Hill. Mike Singletary will turn this 49ers team into a power running team, which could pay dividends for Frank Gore and his backup. Rookies Glen Coffee and Kory Sheets will battle it out for that honor in training camp, along with Thomas Clayton. Coffee and Sheets are both intriguing prospects, so you will want to pay close attention. We like Coffee to be the 2009 Tim Hightower. Also, despite the power running scheme to be implemented, there could likely be plenty of dink and dunk passing to the RB's. A PPR dream.
QB Shaun Hill – 3,200 yards, 20 TD’s, 14 INT’s, 100 yards rushing, 1 TD
QB Alex Smith (if he starts over Smith) - 3,000 yards, 16 TD's, 12 INT's, 150 yards rushing, 2 TD's
QB Nate Davis - QB of the Future, maybe.
RB Frank Gore – 1,200 - 1,400 rushing yards, 8 - 10 TD’s, 50 catches, 500 yards
RB Glen Coffee – 200 – 400 rushing yards, 8 TD’s, 15 catches, 100 yards,
RB Kory Sheets - 150 rushing yards, 1 TD, 10 catches, 100 yards
WR Josh Morgan - 75 catches, 900 yards, 7 TD's
WR Michael Crabtree - 45 catches, 600 yards, 4-6 TD's
WR Isaac Bruce - 50 catches, 600 yards, 2 TD's
WR Jason Hill - 30 catches, 400 yards, 1 TD
TE Vernon Davis - 40 catches, 500 yards, 4 TD's

St. Louis Rams |
Steve Spagnuolo has his work cut out for him in St. Louis. They do have Steven Jackson, a beast fully capable of carrying an offense when he is healthy. Other than Jackson, the only intriguing prospect that will be fantasy relevant in '09 is Donnie Avery. He is the defacto WR1 with Torry Holt in Jacksonville. He will need a few seasons to grow into a dominant role, but he's a servicable fantasy option with upside. Bulger is a sad senario. An extremely talented - and accurate - passer, he has the potential to be a Top-10 QB in the NFL, but will never regain that status due to his current situation. The Rams will be playing from behind plenty in 2009, so if he can stay upright, he'll have some bye week value. In training camp, it should be very interesting to see how the rest of the skill positions fill out, cause there is not much to get too excited about.
QB Marc Bulger - 3,000 yards, 16 TD's, 14 INT's 50 yards rushing
RB Steven Jackson - 1,200 - 1,400 rushing yards, 12 TD's, 55 catches, 400 yards, 2 TD
RB Kenneth Darby - 300 rushing yards, 0 TD's, 20 catches, 150 yards, 1 TD
WR Donnie Avery - 65 - 75 catches, 1,000 yards, 6 - 8 TD's - drop this number some if he misses any regular season time.
WR Laurent Robinson - 40 catches, 550 yards, 2 TD's
WR Keenan Burton - 40 catches, 500 yards, 2 TD's
WR Ronald Curry - 35 catches, 450 yards, 1 TD
WR Brooks Foster - 15 catches, 200 yards, 0 TD's
TE Randy McMichael - 40 catches, 400 yards, 3 TD's

Seattle Seahawks |
The Seahawks paid a ton of money for free agent WR TJ Houshmandzadeh and he should acclimate himself well, despite never having played in a West Coast offense. QB Matt Hasselbeck will be solid, as long as his back holds up - a major question mark in our minds. Injury prone Deion Branch is back and "healthy" but he needs to earn playing time. Nate Burleson was primed for a breakout in 2008, until he tore his ACL in Week 1. He could be an interesting guy to watch in camp, as will rookie future slot receiver Deon Butler. A speedster from Penn State, Butler could surprise this season with his precise route running and elusiveness. The running game is in shambles. Really, it might be the worst in the NFL and certainly doesn't possess much in the way of fantasy potential. TE John Carlson is an intriguing prospect for 2009 and by the end of the season could easily situate himself in the 5-7 fantasy TE range. Get him while he's cheap.
QB Matt Hasselbeck - 3,100 - 3,300 yards, 19 - 22 TD's, 12 INT's, 50 rushing yards
QB Seneca Wallace - Would be a nice QB3 if Hasselbeck goes down again
QB Mike Teel - Rutgers product is a developmental pick
RB Julius Jones - 500 - 700 rushing yards, 4 TD's, 20 catches, 250 yards, 0 TD's
RB TJ Duckett - 400 rushing yards, 5 TD's, 5 catches, 50 yards, 0 TD's
RB Justin Forsett - 300 rushing yards, 2 TD's, 25 catches, 300 yards, 1 TD
WR TJ Houshmandzadeh - 75 - 85 catches, 900 - 1,050 yards, 7 - 9 TD's
WR Nate Burleson - 55 catches, 800 yards, 4 TD's
WR Deion Branch - 40 catches, 600 yards, 2 TD's
WR Deon Butler - 35 catches, 400 yards, 1 TD
TE John Carlson - 65 catches, 750 yards, 7 TD's

Arizona Cardinals |
The Cardinals couldn't believe Chris "Beanie" Wells fell to them at the #31 Overall. He should step in immediately to add a needed power running / big play component in the desert. His proven experience at University of Phoenix Stadium should have fantasy owners ecstatic. RB LaRod Stephens-Howling, a Darren Sproles type running back, but should have a hard time competing with Wells and Tim Hightower for touches, but adds an element in the backfield that currently doesn't exist. A beastly RB corp. adds immense value the Cardinals already stacked offense. We all know what Kurt Warner is about, and his backup is just the opposite. Steve Breaston will continue to reap the benefits from Fitz and Boldin, and by the time he is a FA, he could be one of the leagues top WR prospects. Monitor his development.
QB Kurt Warner – 4,200 yards, 28 TD’s, 16 INT’s
QB Matt Leinart (if Warner didn’t play) – 3,500 yards, 22 TD’s, 18 INT’s
RB Chris Wells – 700 - 900 rushing yards, 6 - 8 TD’s, 10 catches, 100 yards, 0 TD’s
RB Tim Hightower – 500 – 700 rushing yards, 5 - 7 TD’s, 35 catches, 300 yards, 1 TD
WR Larry Fitzgerald – 90 catches, 1,350 yards, 15 TD’s
WR Anquan Boldin - 90 catches, 1,100 yards, 7 - 10 TD’s
