The NFL Season is four weeks old and just like every season, alot has changed. Dynasty values are fluctuating, injuries are opening up opportunities for back-ups and some players are starting to emerge as viable fantasy options. But in a dynasty league you want to be out further ahead of the curve than that. You want to know who some of the guys that might breakout in the next few years are. Who the guys are that could get an opportunity with an injury or two. While none of these guys below will likely help you win a championship this season, they can be valuable pieces that help you construct a dynasty in the near future. Let's dig.


QB Mike Teel, Seattle Seahawks:

A three year starter at Rutgers, Mike Teel capped off an inconsistent college career with over 3,400 yards and 25 TD's as a senior. His size, solid arm strength and football IQ got him drafted in the 6th round this past April by the Seattle Seahawks. By taking a look at the Seahawks depth chart, you will of course notice incumbent starter and all pro Matt Hasselbeck and one of the best back-ups in the league, Seneca Wallace. Where exactly does Teel fit in? Well, he was drafted as a project. Someone the Seahawks thought could learn from Hasselbeck and hopefully evolve into at least an NFL quality QB2 and maybe even a starter. Coming out of college, Teel has a better physical profile than Hass, who was able to learn from Brett Favre early in his career. The question will be whether he has the mental makeup to overcome his inconsistent decision making and continue to develop at the position. Is he the Seahawks QB of the future? Not necessarily, but he definitely has a shot with the oft-injured Hasselbeck and speedy Seneca Wallace both over 30 years old to start the 2010 season.

QB Brett Ratliff, Cleveland Browns:

As an undrafted free agent, Brett Ratliff made his way onto the Jets practice squad in 2007 and graduated to the active roster in 2008, although he has yet to play in an actual NFL game. After Eric Mangini was fired from the Jets and landed with the Browns, one of his first transactions was to acquire Ratliff from his previous employer. Ratliff has ideal size (6'4", 224 lbs.) and enjoyed a solid, but short career at Utah. The Ute started just 13 career games in two years, putting up over 3,400 yards, 31 TD's and just 11 INT's. Previous to coming to Salt Lake City, Ratliff was a two year standout at Butte Junior College. If Ratliff wants to see the field, he is going to need to improve his fundamentals and overall awareness. He already has the arm strength to succeed as an NFL starter and has impressed in training camp and pre-season action. With the future of Brady Quinn in the Browns organization up in the air, there will be opportunity, perhaps sooner rather than later. Derek Anderson is taking over, but if he fails, you have to imagine that Quinn will get another extended shot to prove himself. All Ratliff can do is continue to work hard and climb the ladder, waiting for his shot.

RB Justin Forsett, Seattle Seahawks:

A standout RB at Cal, Forsett started only 17 games in his 4 year college career, but still managed to end up third on the school's career rushing list. He averaged 5.1 yards per carry and scored 26 career TD's. He emerged as a workhorse in his senior season, rushing for over 1,500 yards and 15 TD's. He was not utlized as much out as a receiver, with just 41 career catches. As an undersized prospect (5'8", 194 lbs.), he was drafted in the 7th round in 2007 by the Seahawks. Having his size affect his football stock is really nothing new to Forsett. He had a Notre Dame scholarship pulled because they wanted a taller RB and near-by University of Texas did not think he was big enough to recruit. Forsett is a speedy playmaker probably more suitable for a 3rd down back type of role than that of a featured back, but that is not to say he will not have value. With players like Leon Washington and Darren Sproles gaining fantasy viability in similar roles, Forsett is a guy to watch. And the Seahawks lack of depth at running back is also a reason to keep an eye on Forsett. The aging Edgerrin James and inconsistent Julius Jones are all that stand between Forsett and more touches. While the Seahawks would be smart to use a 1st or 2nd round pick in 2009 on a top flight RB, Forsett could carve himself out a useful role in their backfield.

WR Legedu Naanee, San Diego Chargers:

The San Diego Chargers have definitely transitioned to a passing team, meaning there are plenty of receptions to go around. Vincent Jackson has emerged as a fantasy beast and Antonio Gates is still producing at a high level, but Philip Rivers is slinging the ball all over the place. Enter 2007 5th round pick out of Boise State, WR Legedu Naanee. He is 6'2" and 220 lbs. with solid athleticism, toughness and average speed. Out of high school, Naanee was eager to continue playing QB at the collegiate leve, turning down scholarships from Oregon and Oregon State. While Boise State allowed him a shot as a signal caller, Naanee lost out to Jared Zabransky in 2004. That forced Naanee to start taking reps at WR and abandon his QB dreams. He was drafted on his potential as a WR with potential to continue to develop. He has played sparingly in his first two seasons, but continued to develop at his new position. He is starting to get more targets this year and could outproduce Malcom Floyd, veteran Chris Chambers and fellow 2007 draft pick Craig "Buster" Davis. In a pass heavy offense, Naanee could be fantasy relevant as soon as next season, perhaps starting alongside Vincent Jackson. Legedu means "good is coming" in a Nigerian language and that very well might be if he is on your Dynasty roster.

WR Jacoby Jones, Houston Texans:

As a third round pick back in 2007, Jacoby Jones was a popular sleeper going into training camp with the Houston Texans. The speedy WR out of Division II Lane College. The hype started before the summer, though as Jacoby saw his stock rise in the months and week prior to the April Draft. Everyone was looking for the next Marques Colston and pundits were throwing out Jacoby's name. Through two seasons, Jones has established himself as an excellent return guy, but has yet to work his way into the Texans offense (only 18 catches between 2007-2008). In 2009, he has started off hot. He is still not getting a ton of targets, but he has been making the most of what little scraps he receives. Through three games, he has 4 catches for 96 yards and 2 TD's. Jones is a perfect WR3 in this offense, behind beastly Andre Johnson and possession WR Kevin Walter. Jacoby needs to continue to develop as a WR and keep making plays when his number gets called. He was extremely raw in all faucets of the game coming out of college, but with a combination of game breaking speed and raw talent, his ceiling is that of a WR2. If he can establish himself as a WR3 in this offense and earn the trust of QB Matt Schaub, he can be fantasy relevant almost immediately.

TE Fred Davis, Washington Redskins:

Despite already having TE stud Chris Cooley, the Redskins drafted USC product Fred Davis in the 2nd round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He was originally recruited to Southern Cal as a WR, but offensive guru Norm Chow converted him to TE. He had a very solid collegiate career at a national powerhouse and was regarded as one of the top two or three TE prospects in the 2008 Draft. He is a big, athletic target at 6'4" and 250 lbs. and was able to get open regularly in college, even in the face of double coverage. He played sparingly in his rookie season, catching just 3 passes for 27 yards. Expect his role to grow in his second season, as the Redskins try to introduce more two TE sets. Just don't expect fantasy production this year unless Cooley goes down. Davis could eventually grow into a low-end TE2 option in spite of Cooley's presence. His situation is similar to that of fellow 2nd year TE Martellus Bennett in Dallas, who plays Robin to Jason Witten's Batman. If Davis can develop into a reliable target, he will be a weapon that the Redskins will get onto the field. His real value remains in his upside and the chance to learn alongside an established Top 7 TE.
