Fantasy Rankings: Minnesota Vikings' Sage Rosenfels

Sage needs to cut down on the mistakes

I want to like Rosenfels for his run and gun style of play but the man just makes too many mistakes.

Rosenfels can go out and make some great plays and then make a horrible one, like the fumble against the Colts in the 4th quarter. In that contest, Sage for all intents and purpose was trying to make a John Elway super bowl type of play to get a first down.

Only problem was he went air born, got hit by three guys and fumbled the ball. One of the Colts defenders then picked the ball up and scored a touchdown. The Texans went on to lose the game after this momentum shift.

I really felt bad for Sage after that game because before that happened he was having a good game filling in for Matt Schuab. If they had beat-in the Colts that day it would have been a huge confidence booster for the franchise.

But that is Rosenfels in a nut shell, the guy is that close to being a solid pro and then..........

Sage Rosenfels Fantasy Football Value in 2009

For all of Sage's problems the man can make some plays as well. He proved this in 2007 when in a 9 game stint he put up 15 touchdowns and almost 1,700 yards passing.

In the end Rosenfels did sign with the Vikings and now should be the starter (pending Favre signing) for the Minnesota.

While Tavaris Jackson is talented, he is better suited as a backup. Sage can make better throws down the field and at times look like a very good quarterback.

If Favre does in fact stay retired look for Sage as a decent backup in deep fantasy leagues this season. But if Brett should sign with the Vikings, Rosenfels won't see the field, as No.4 never misses games.

Fantasy Rankings: Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson

Peterson Leads Vikings to Division Championship
Adrian is hands down the most explosive back in Fantasy Football. He has an amazing ability (almost like Barry Sanders) to make defenders play on their heels and second guess what No.28 will do next.

Last year marked the first season Peterson played the entire schedule of his season since High School. Right now the only major thing Adrian doesn't have is great pass catching ability's.

Adrian Peterson's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
If he is to truly be the next No.1 stud hands down he needs to at least sprinkle in some good reception totals.



For now All Day is the top fantasy player but only because he is the best of the bunch if you will. Not because he is head and shoulders above the rest. Like LT used to be for example.

Fantasy Assets:
- Game Breaker
- Touchdown Maker
- 20 touches or more a game
- Great Offensive Line
- Consistent

Fantasy Liability's:
- Pass Catching
- Bad Quarterback's

Fantasy Rankings: Minnesota Vikings' Percy Harvin

Vikings Need Harvin's Skills

There is no doubt that Percy Harvin is a very talented football player. Just go back and watch the national title game against Oklahoma.

A few days before the 2009 NFL draft, Vikings head coach Brad Childress, personally went down to Florida to get one last look at Harvin. Brad being the military man he is probably wanted to look Percy in the eye and see if he had a strong hand shake. By the end of this meeting, Childress put his stamp of approval on No.12.

Harvin was a runner and a receiver in college. He had 660 yards rushing with 10 touchdowns and 640 yards receiving for and 7 touchdowns in 2008.

Brad Childress will need everything he can get, from this talented young athlete, now that the Vikings defensive tackles Pat and Kevin Williams have lost their Cort battle with Star Caps.

The NFL may end up suspending both players, for the first month of the season. If the Vikings are to find the playoffs they will need this talented player to help them right away.

Percy Harvin's Fantasy Football Value in 2009

Harvin's fantasy value is a tough one, there has never been a player in my mind that it matters so much, to what your scoring structure is in the fantasy league you play in.

Reggie Bush is close but because he is listed as a running back, most fantasy leagues would give credit to his running and receiving. Some fantasy leagues don't give rushing stats to receivers, because most of them hardly ever run the ball.

Because he is a very good runner and we are in the "wildcat" era, Percy can have success both running and receiving. If you are in a league that gives points for both his running and receiving yards, than you will be getting the most from his value.


Fantasy Assets:
- Game Breaker
- Touchdown Maker
- Can Run and Receive
- Plays in a Dome

Fantasy Liability's:
- Only 644 yards receiving in his junior year
- I would say a run heavy team but he runs as well
