Ginn Jr. will take another step in 2009
Last year really helped Ginn's fantasy value coming into this season. Mainly because he now has a capable quarterback and rock solid supporting cast around him.
The third season in a receivers carrier is usually the year he breaks out and truly establishes himself in the NFL. While Ted has not posted more then two touchdowns in a single year, one has to believe he will go past that number this season.
Good supporting Cast
With a running game people have to respect and the "wildcat" offense in place for explosive plays look for the Dolphins to exploit teams down the field. When it comes to long balls one can only think of Ginn as he is truly the speed burner on this team.
Chad Pennington may not have the strongest arm but he is a precise passer. Chad should be more comfortable in the the Dolphins offense now that he has had a full off-season with the team.
Ted Ginn Jr.'s fantasy football value in 2009
Look for this talented burner to post at least 950 yards and 5 touchdowns in his third year out of Ohio State. That may not seem like much but remember this kid has great ability's once the ball is in his hands. By next season Ginn should be in line to have a better year than in this one. That is as long as the quarterback play remains solid.
Look for Ginn in the later part of the middle rounds. He will make for a nice No.4 receiver this season.
Fantasy Assets:
- Speed
- Good team around him
- Good weather
Fantasy Liability's:
- On a run first team
- Needs to improve his touchdown totals

Fantasy Player Rankings: Falcons' Roddy White
Matt Ryan and the Rise of the Falcons
Coming into the 2008 season I thought the Falcons were at team headed in the right direction. With key acquisitions in running back Michael Turner and 1st round pick quarterback Matt Ryan.
Little did I realize what a major impact both of those players would have on this team right away. No doubt Ryan's progression was helped by having a dominant running game, but he was also greatly helped by true No.1 wide receiver Roddy White.
No.84 proved in 2007 he could have success with any average Joe quarterback at the helm that year, with 1200 yards and 6 touchdowns. But for Roddy to post 1,382 yards, 88 catches and 7 touchdowns last year was remarkable. Wide Receivers are supposed to struggle with rookie quarterbacks on conservative running teams.
In the first couple games of the year White started slow. But in week three Matt Ryan started finding his top target against the Chiefs and Roddy never looked back.
Roddy White's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
With Matt Ryan no longer a rookie he will no doubt take another step in progressing in 2009. This progression plus the added addition of Hall of Fame Tight End Tony Gonzalez will only enhance Roddy's opportunities for success this year.
White's hands have improved since his days of dropping balls for quarterback Michael Vick and his speed is top end in the National Football League.
What I love about Roddy is his ability to break away from defenders in tight spaces. Look for White to light up the score boards again in 2009, while he improves on his 7 touchdown total from a year ago.
Roddy makes for a solid No.1 receiver in fantasy leagues this season. While he's not a 1st or 2nd round pick, White does make for a solid 3rd rounder in 2009
Fantasy Assets:
- Game Breaker
- Solid offense around him
- Now has Tony Gonzalez
- Plays in a dome
Fantasy Liability's:
- Needs to Improve on his touchdown totals

Fantasy Player Rankings: Bears' Devin Hester
Congratulations Bear Fans this is your No.1 Receiver......Again!
Maybe I should give the Bears a pass for not getting a solid receiver in free agency, because the got Jay Cutler. But if I did that I would be a nice guy and that's not my style.
Don't get me wrong Bear fans, you see I'm a San Fransisco Giants fan and I know what it's like when ownership won't help the team. The SF Giants are probably the worst hitting team ever and it's understandable when the only talent they have is very raw. Then ownership goes out and give the same old, "well we tried to get this guy but" routine in the off-season.
For Bear fans that means your left with a No.1 receiver that is wearing a corner backs number on his jersey!
Like the Giants hitting the Bears receiving situation right now is a complete joke. I almost hope no receivers on the Bears roster do a darn thing so ownership won't be let off the hook.
Devin Hester is a very talented player, but the man has never been a full time receiver until a couple years ago. Maybe some day Hester will be a nice No.2 receiver for the Bears, but as of now should be a No.3.
Hey we have Earl Bennett!
Please Bear fans don't tell me Earl Bennett is going to save the day. The only reason he is even being talked about is because he played in college with Cutler. If Jay was not on the team no one would know who this guy is.
Maybe Bennett will amount to something this year. But if you feel confident coming into the season with Earl as you top receiver, then I say go see a doctor.
Hester's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
Look for No.23 to improve on his numbers from a year ago. Now that Jay Cutler is under center, I see a 60 reception, 800 yard 5 touchdown effort from Hester. Really that would be very good coming from a guy that is still learning on the job in the NFL.
Look to grab Devin as a late round fantasy stash and see if both he and Cutler find chemistry together.
Fantasy Assets:
- Game breaker
- Solid quarterback
Fantasy Liability's:
- Still a raw talent
- In a run first offense
- Bad weather in December

Fantasy Player Rankings: Eagles' DeSean Jackson
Can DeSean Score Touchdowns?
Action Jackson would of had 4 total touchdowns for the season, if he had not celebrated early against the Cowboys, on a long catch from McNabb. But instead DeSean maid a foolish error on national tv and only had 3 touchdowns (not counting special teams) in 2008.
Now if you are in a league that gets credit for the touchdowns he scores in special teams your gold with this receiver. But if you are in leagues that don't give credit to his dazzling punt returns his 3 touchdowns total (2 catching, 1 rushing) are concerning.
If Jackson had a bigger frame of a body, I would feel better about his chances to score. Then again if he was bigger he would have been a top 10 pick in the NFL draft last year and not slipped into the second round.
I do believe No.10 will be Donovan's top receiver for awhile. How ever don't expect more than seven receiving touchdown in anyone season.
DeSean Jackson's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
Look for Jackson to take over the No.1 receiver role in the Eagles offense this year. While his touchdowns may come sporadically his reception totals and yardage will not.
McNabb loves to throw to the Cal Berkley product in his west coast offense.
This season long time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson will miss the year fighting a battle with cancer. The Eagles also lost defensive captain safety Brian Dawkins to the Broncos.
These key departures will hurt the Eagles defense, thus they will be in shoot outs more often. Because of this Jackson will receive plenty of opportunity to succeed in 2009.
Look for Jackson as a 7th to 8th round pick in this years fantasy football draft. Next year he will probably be a 5th round pick as he becomes a more complete receiver.
Fantasy Assets:
- Game breaker
- Pass first offense
- Great quarterback
Fantasy Liability's:
- Needs more touchdowns
- Small Frame
- Only in his 2nd season

Fantasy Rankings: Baltimore Ravens' Mark Clayton
Mark Clayton is Ready to Make a Fantasy Impact
Last season started out very slow for Mark as he had a rookie quarterback under center in Baltimore. No.89 also found himself as the second receiver in the offense again, behind Derrick Mason.
This year look for Clayton to take another step on his way to being a solid fantasy receiver.
For one the Ravens finally have a legit quarterback in Joe Flacco. Joe will become a better passer (especially touchdowns) every year from here on out.
Derrick Mason is getting old and while he will still be productive, I believe the wear and tear of the NFL will hold him back more every year. Also Tod Heap is having problems returning to from a bad back.
Clayton is now heading into his 4th season in the league and should start to show the reasons why he was a mid 1st round pick out of Oklahoma.
Mark Clayton's Fantasy Football Value in 2009
I believe next season in 2010 Clayton will truly bust out for a big fantasy season. But this year look for him to at least get back to his rookie totals of 67 receptions for 939 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Mark could even give you 1,100 yards and 8 touchdowns, but that will depend on how healthy Mason can stay this year. In the end Clayton makes for a very nice No.4 receiver in your fantasy football draft.
Fantasy Assets:
- Good Skills
- Mason's skills are on the decline
- Solid Offensive Line
Fantasy Liability's:
- Run first offense
- While QB is good he is still young
