Sproles to Back up LT in 2009
While Darren is a great special teams player, he will never be a feature runner for an entire season. The man is just too small and fragile to carry that kind of load in the NFL. But he will be and excellent runner to come into games and give LT a breather during the season.
Beyond giving LT some rest, look for Sproles to handle the mop up work, at the end of blow outs. San Diego is a classic one year great and next year average team, that means they are due for a great year in '09.
One has to believe that with the Raiders and Chiefs still rebuilding and the Broncos imploding, the Chargers should easily win the west.
This basically means that some weeks Sproles should have solid fantasy stats, as San Diego rest LT when they blow out some of these easy teams during the season.
Darren Sproles Fantasy Football Value in 2009
If you are desperate to fill a starting role for running on your team this season, Darren may be worth a play when the Chargers face a bad team.
Darren has game breaking skills and is a solid receiver. But as long as No.21 is playing in San Diego, Sproles will always get the left over scraps on the dinner table.
Look to draft Sproles as a late round hand cuff to LT and hold onto him throughout the season. If Tomlinson has another injury, Darren should be a strong fantasy option as the season goes along.
Fantasy Assets:
- Game breaker
- On a great team
Fantasy Liability's
- Touchdowns
- Back up role
- Health a question mark

Fantasy Rankings: San Diego Chargers Vincent Jackson
Player Info:
Vincent Becomes the #1 Receiver in San Diego
Jackson has always had the talent to make fantasy owners, believe he might become a great receiver, in time. But until last season, Vincent quietly went about his business and was not much of a factor in fantasy at all.
Then last year the big man for the Chargers broke out, after Chris Chambers, injured his leg in week 5. While it is true that Jackson did not have sparkling numbers in '09, but he did prove that he can dominate at times.
Jackson went on to post 59 catches for 1,098 yards and an hot 18.6 yards per catch average. He also posted 7 touchdowns as well.
Not very often to you see a receiver combined the size (6'5, 230 pounds) and speed together. Because of this rare combo of skills, at times it can seem unfair for a little old corner to match up against this beast.
One has to believe that this is just the beginning for No.83 and his success in the NFL.
Vincent Jackson's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
Jackson my not post 18.6 yards per catch again this year, but he should produce another solid fantasy season. It's no surprise that Jackson broke out the same season Phillip Rivers busted out as they have matured around the same time.
Look for Vincent to at least post the same number from a year ago. Right now he makes for a good #2 receiver in most fantasy formats.
Fantasy Assets:
- Big, Strong, Fast
- Starting into his prime as a receiver
- Solid Quarterback
- Great Supporting Cast
- Great Weather Year Round
Fantasy Liability's:
- Team likes to spread the ball around
- Would like to see more receptions
