Team review #4: New York Giants
So the main story is how to replace the void left by Tiki Barber. Many expect Brandon Jacobs to keep scoring and Rueben Droughns to hit the hard spots, I don't know if I like either yet. Eli Manning, maybe, like Philip Rivers, is a prefect #2 QB. Still, young WRs have to contribute this year as Plaxico Burress will be double teamed with Amani Toomer getting long in the tooth. Take Burress as a 2nd, if neccessary, Manning as backup and Jeremy Shockey must be your TE pick if you miss on Gates, Gonzales or Davis.
Team review: #5 Dallas Cowboys
Lots and lots of talent, alot real, some potential. By potential I mean like new coach Champ Bailey ( ) using Marion Barber and Tony Romo effectively. I'm still not sold on Romo, but he's much better than Drew...ah...whathisname? Julius Jones, Terrell Owens, Tony Glenn and Partrick Crayton...all very solid. Romo does spread it around alot so everyone should be happy. Because of usage Barber has better Fantasy advantage over Jones...if they have to evenly share the ball they'll both put up decent numbers. Barber is a great, great #3, make Julius your 2nd RB if you get the last seed and there's nothing there (better than Carnel Williams...) TO should be your #1 and Glenn #3.
Team Review: #6 Philadelphia Eagles
Your sleeper (and possibly keeper) is Hank Baskett. Not a huge believer in Reggie Brown but if he does the same as last year and Baskett steps up-that may fill Donte's void. L. J. Smith is a very solid TE pick. Have fun with Brian Westbrook, barring injury, and, by all means make Donovan McNabb your starter if P. Manning and Palmer are gone.
Team review #7: Atlanta Falcons
You can't bury 'em just yet. Even though, with folks like Vick and Dunn gone or hurting (or gone and hurting
), they sorta look like Harrington's old Lions, except for the offensive line they really do! Like the Lions they have talented but injury prone Joe Horn, and Michael Jenkins put up some good numbers last year. With the run happy O-line RB Jerious Norwood should shine. Sound good, maybe too good?--If they win 7 games I'll be seriously shocked.
