It's Never Too Early

It is never too early to begin thinking about next season and the impact of the rookie class on the fantasy teams of next season. We can start by looking at the past 2 seasons rookie contributions. This past year Adrian Peterson was the best rookie I have ever seen. His numbers were amazing and if you picked him up in your draft, well all I can say is that you are a gambling man. The talk was that he was prone to injury, and in reality he did get hurt, but came back from it strong. The downside to him this year is that Chester Taylor emerged strong in his absence and they ran a tandem back scheme the rest of the year.

If we mention A.P. we need to also mention the rookie bust of the year, Calvin Johnson. The Lions had such high hopes for this receiver making them a contender. He unfortunately injured his back and that is all she wrote for that season. His numbers were disappointing to say the least.

2006 had a little rookie named Hester who was the main reason I chose Chicago's Defense and Special Teams this past season. He was good, the Defense was not so much.

So who will be this years rookie standout sensation? Who will make you look like a genius in your circle of friends? All these answers and more next time.

San Diego @ New England

Let's hope that LT and Rivers are both healthy enough to play a full game because thats the only way the Chargers have a slim shot at going to the Super Bowl. Lets just begin the conversation now about Green Bay and the Pats meeting in this years super bowl.

Pats by 20

Giants @ Green Bay

Can you say cold? It is supposed to be a wind chill of a million degrees below zero. And I am not exaggerating. This week we can really call the football a rock, it is going to be a slippery hard rock and will be falling out of the Giants hands all day because they are not used to conditions like this. Ryan Grant will again be the difference in this game and secure his place as a #2-3 fantasy RB next season.

2 for 4

Absolutely terrible, who would have thought that Eli would be the only Manning brother still alive in the playoffs. I guess Cancun was that good for Romo. I can't wait to hear what T.O. has to say about this. He has been too quiet this whole year. He is sooooooo due.

Jax @ NE Cheaters, Patriots

Jax does not match up well against this Pats team. They do not have the defense to stop the crazy amount of talent in the receiving core. Garrard has been throwing interceptions lately as well and thats not a winning stat to have in the playoffs.

Pats by 32, or maybe more

San Diego @ Colts

If this was just a contest of athleticism between running backs, I would give the game to the Chargers without question. But with weapons like Clark, Addai, Wayne, Harrison, and lest we forget Peyton Manning, they are pretty hard to match up against. Especially at home.
On the Chargers side, they will be playing without Antonio Gates. Thank god they have L.T. Without him the game wouldn't even be interesting. L.T. will keep the Colts honest up until the 4th quarter. Then the Colts will run away with it.

Colts by 21 at home Unless I am wrong.

Seattle @ Green Bay

Even if the entire Seattle team wore battery heated pants, the Seahawks would still fall just short. Even though the Hawks have many weapons through the air, their running game never really came together. I had the Green Bay Defense, Donald Lee, and Ryan Grant on my fantasy team this year and they more than took care of me. I have seen what they can do first hand. Maybe I am a little bias, but a newcomer named Brett Favre will have a great day and will win the game fairy easily. It will be over by the first quarter.
