Notable WR on the Market

TJ "whosyomama", Anquan Boldin, and Nate Washington are the noteworthy names on the FA market as of today. I believe that TJ is the best out of these 3. You could say for the price, that Washington would give you the most bang for your buck...i say, why buy a Honda when you can have a Ferrari.

So depending on where they land, any movement by these 3, well, at least 2, will have some sort of impact on your Fantasy Football Roster.

TJ to Philly: This...would...be...awesome. If your in a PPR (points per reception) league, can you see a better home? Well, maybe the Patriots, but, c'mon, lets get back down to earth. I read that TJ would like to come to the Vikings (OH HOW I HOPE HE DOES), but i don't think they can afford him, and fantasy wise, his value would drop there.

Boldin to ????: I've been trying to think of a team that would realistically make a bid for him for whom he could flourish with. Philly would be my first guess, but, i would rather have Housh if I had the choice. A couple of teams come to mind, although, i dont really like any of them for Boldin. One being the Bears. I guess it would be nice to have Hester and Boldin...that is if Orton can improve. The Lions...Calvin Johnson is a beast; i could see Boldin on the other side...but who's their QB? Yeah, will have to wait and see on that one. If i could chose a team, i would give him to the Chargers...yea...that would be AWESOME.

Washington to "Don't Really Care": Yup, i said it, i don't really care. He's a good receiver, but he's not on the same level as the other 2. I've heard talks about the Lions wanting him. Yea, I'm just gonna go ahead and say...it doesn't matter. Untill the Lions get something that resembles a QB, an WR there will suffer. Calvin Johnson did good, but could be better. He was somewhat inconsistent due to an inconsistent QB....So says the Vikings fan...HAH!

Oh yea, what about Marvin Harrison? Thought i was gonna leave him out?...negative. I hope he can find a home where he'll have a shot at the playoffs. This guy belongs in the post-season. Where would he fit in? I could think of a couple of teams that have legitimate shots at making the playoffs...one being the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Ryan, Micheal Turner, Rody White, and Marvin Harrison...boy that sounds nice. The problem with the Falcons is I believe they will commit their money more towards the defensive side of the ball. Other teams that come to mind are the Dolphins, Titans, and if he's cheap enough, the Patriots...but he wouldn't do that to his Colts would he?....

Some Players Staying Put

Kerry Collins, DeAngelo Hall, and Chris Kemoeatu were among the players who decided to stay put. Hall resigned with the Redskins for 6 years/54 Million. This came before signing Haynesworth. So far, the Redskins have spent almost 200 million in free agency. Rejoice Redskins fans!...well, for now atleast.

Kerry Collins resigned for 2 years/15 million with the Titans.

Kemoeatu resigned with the Steelers for 5 years/20 million.

So which do you think has the biggest impact on their team? If I had to pick, I would say Collins. After losing Haynesworth, you gotta find a way to resign him. Vince Young has proven to be an athlete, but not the leader of your offense. If it wasn't for Crumplers fumble on Baltimore's 1 yard line, maybe the Titans advance past the Steelers, and maybe Collins gets a Super Bowl Ring...Maybe.

Kemoeatu...meh, i still think they need one more good offensive lineman...I mean, one of these days defense's are gonna find a way to bring him down...Someone let the Cardinals know when they find out.

DeAngelo Hall...I like the move to resign him. He's still young, he's fast...like really fast, and corners are at a premium in the league. But, he still doesn't make as big an impact as Collins. DeAngelo will benefit from having one of the better defenses...at least on paper that is. Haynesworth, London Fletcher, Jason Taylor, DeAngelo Hall, Carlos Rodges, and Fred Smoot. Imagine if they still had Sean Taylor...we could be possibly calling the Redskins a Top-5 Fantasy Football Defense.

Off Season Hype!

First, this is my first dip into the blogosphere! Just a little history on me; I have been an avid football fan since i was 10. I grew up loving the Houston Oilers, but now I am a die-hard Minnesota Vikings fan. I know...i must be a glutton for punishment...1992 Oilers...1998 Vikings...it hurts soo bad!

Alas, I've moved on...as will this blog. So as of yesterday, free agency has opened. As expected, the biggest player splash was made by Albert Haynesworth. On Friday he signed with the Washington Redskins at a reported 7year/100million dollar deal with 41 million guaranteed (NFL record).

WOW...that's all i could say when i saw the "breaking news" on ESPN as it scrolled across my television. I heard something along the lines of 33 million of it would be payed out in the first 13 months. Hey, good job to Haynesworth to get the deal, but, was it too much on the part of Washington? I personally think hes worth the 7 year 100 million, but where it scares me is the 41 million guaranteed. One bad cut block, and he may miss a season, and worst, may never be the same player.

So how does this effect your Fantasy Football Roster? Last season Washington finished in the bottom third of most leagues. In one of my leagues, which has been running for 10 years, they finished at 26th. I think Washington will finish much better this season, I'm guessing at least in the top half of the league. Haynesworth will help to keep Brandon Jacobs, Marion "The Barbarian" Barber, and Brian Westbrook in check...well, at least a little better than last year. If you look at what the Redskins did this off-season, you would have to expect them to be better defensively this year right? Right? I don't think Haynesworth makes the Redskins defense the Baltimore Ravens, but i do know he makes them better.

Well, that's it for today, ill touch on some of the other FA moves tomorrow!
