Chad's Fantasy Football Outlook

This page is dedicated to the fine art of fantasy football and all the intricacies that are needed to be a successful fantasy owner.

200 has beguna and it seems that fantasy owners are in for the same roller coaster ride all the athletes in the NFL provided last year. The season opened with a horrific dispolay of fantasy stats. This was followed by a week in which one. T^hen in week four, we have only 1 quarterback to throw for 300 yards a game, and we have already had 2 Tight ends receive for 100+ yards in a game.

NFL News to be concerned with

Well, we have recently been flooded with material to be concerned with. Free Agency has begun, and it looks to be an exciting off-season. The high bidders are sure to be Stephen Davis and James Stewart. These two runningbacks have proven thatthey deserve a shot. I will keep you updated with transactions as they occur.

I believe the players to watch next year are:

Quarterbacks
I am not very excited about the quarterback position right now. I road the Kurt Warner train last year , and I know that the odds of a repeaat performance are slim, and the odds of me even having Warner on my roster in 200 is remote. However, I am interested in watching the conclusion of some quarterback controversies that may yield a strong quarterback in my home town. Warner has obviously established himself as the starter in St. Louis. Will Trent Green accept a back up role when he has the talents of a starter? Similarly, Wade Phillips has created problems for himself with his quarterbacks. Flutie, although not a strong fantasy quarterback, is a winner and belongs as starter. Minnesota was forced to release Jeff George. Although he is close to receiving his social security, he has proven that he is sufficient when he is protected. Jim Miller of the Chicago Bears was another qb who emerged from nowhere to highlight his talents. Will the bears start Miller or McNown this season. Finally, I always like to watch the latest turmoil that Ryan Leaf seems to get himself into.

Running Backs
At the running back position, Jamal Anderson seems to be primed for a comeback. Although, owners need to be concerned about his aggressiveness afteralmost 11 months without taking a hit, Anderson has proven he is tough and should bounce back. Furthermore, the Atlanta Falcons will be playing a relatively easy schedule in 2000.So, look for this dirty bird to soar again.

Wide Receiver
The Wide receiver pool is deep once again. At the beginning of the 1999 campaign, the top tier of receivers only contained 3 individuals:Randy Moss, Antonio Freeman, and Terrell Owens. Out of those three only Randy Moss met preseason expectations. Following those "big 3" there was a group of six that were considered second tier including Eric Moulds and Michael Westbrook types. This year we look forward to having a deep pool. My obvious choice as the receiver to watch is Marvin Harrison. The team is still young and intact, and he should return with excellent numbers in 2000.

Tight End
In a shallow group of tight ends, the easy choice is Wesley Walls. Walls has proven that he is THE elite tight end in the league. He is the Cris Carter of Tight ends-"All he does is catch touchdowns."

Place Kicker
Two Words:Automatica Gramatica. Tampa Bay has always been, and probably always will be a defnsively minded team. Dungy wants to win his games 9-3. This means that Gramatica will continue to get his chances, and he has proven that he can convert when needed.

Defense/
Special Teams
This is affected more than any other position in the offseson because of the tremendous turnover rate in the NFL. Right now the teams to watch seem to be Tampa Bay. Watch to insure they do not lose any key players on defense and that Green keeps returning kicks. The team that is sliding is Dallas. Deon is past his PrimeTime anyway, and now he plans on splitting the time with baseball. Look for both defensive special teams numbers to drop for the ~~convicts~~ I mean Cowboys.
