On the Mend... Part 2

Welcome back to the second edition of On the Mend. The first edition was a hit and provided some quality feedback on key free agents in 2007. In this edition, I will focus on the AFC North and the NFC South.

Remember, I covered only those players that have or had fantasy value (or could have it, perhaps). I will kick start things with the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have only one player worthy of fantasy value on the mend in 2007. Fantasy favorite Musa Smith, running back, will be looking at the off-season in unrestricted free agent status. Smith’s uncertainty with the franchise will become known in March as I do not expect Baltimore to re-sign him. If no one does pick him up, I do expect him back but his injuries have been to much for Baltimore to bear and remember Jamal Lewis is only turning the corner on 27 years old. Smith rotated with Mike Anderson as the backup to Lewis but if Smith is not brought back to the Ravens, I expect second year running back P.J. Daniels to fill the void he will leave. Baltimore might also pursue another running back in the NFL Draft, possible a late bloomer like Chris Henry (Arizona) or Danny Ware (Georgia). Musa Smith is an interesting free agent that is likely to land a job somewhere competing for a backup role. He could land in Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh or Arizona. His fantasy value is dropping like Lee Suggs’ value dropped, especially if he doesn’t re-sign with Baltimore.

The Bengals have two noteworthy players on the mend in 2007, unrestricted free agent wide-out Kelly Washington and restricted free agent running back Chris Perry. Kelly Washington has Greg Lewis-type value in a dynasty league. If Washington can get on to a club in 2007, which he should, his value is still limited. A healthy Antonio Chatman should replace Washington in 2007. Chris Perry’s value depends on the tender he receives. Perry is a great #4 running back in PPR leagues but has been hurt more than he has been healthy. I do see Perry returning for one last go-around with Cincinnati. He still has strong fantasy value because he is handcuffed to Rudi Johnson, but health is always a concern. I think you can compare his dynasty value to that of say, Jerious Norwood.

Cleveland has no player of any meaningful fantasy significance on this list. Yes, wide receiver/return man Dennis Northcutt is slated to be an unrestricted free agent, but regardless of where he lands, his fantasy value is still towards the nil on my radar. As for who will replace him, youngster Josh Cribbs is expected to, no big surprise here. Move along.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have one major question mark that intertwines fantasy with reality. The “Dump Truck” Najeh Davenport is expected to be an unrestricted free agent. He wasn’t used in the role that most fans would have liked to see but he also wasn’t acclimated to this system as well as he should have been. I think that Pittsburgh might let Davenport walk. Why? I have no legitimate reason to be honest. History shows the Rooney’s reluctance to toss money around like say Dan Snyder or Jerry Jones. It always works out in the Steelers favor though. If Davenport does walk, I expect a team like Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Denver, or even Kansas City to pursue Davenport. I think Willie Parker’s growth as an every-down back will push Davenport out of the Steel City. Davenport still has tremendous fantasy value if he lands in the right situation. As for his replacement, Pittsburgh may look towards the draft or even go after Musa Smith.

As I hop on the Live Wire tour bus and cruise down south to cover the NFC South, my first stop will be in Atlanta. Quarterback Matt Schaub is a restricted free agent and wide receiver Ashley Lelie is an unrestricted free agent. Matt Schaub is likely to receive a first round tender and therefore isn’t expected to leave Atlanta in 2007. Whoever the new coach is in Atlanta, he would be crazy to let Schaub walk. Schaub still has tremendous; I mean tremendous fantasy value for whenever he walks out from behind Michael Vick’s shadow. One more year fantasy geeks, just one more year. Wide receiver Lelie’s fantasy value is near that of the rock in my backyard if he stays in Atlanta, which I do not expect him to. Lelie will be given the opportunity to walk and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him land in Tennessee or San Francisco. Lelie has talent, but his ego is like Terrell Owens. I am sure one year in Atlanta may make him more humble though. Lelie’s value will only rise if he leaves Atlanta. As for who could replace him, will it matter with Vick as the quarterback?

Carolina has no fantasy value on the mend this year except for wide receiver Drew Carter in fantasy leagues. Drew Carter is a restricted free agent and is expect to be back in Carolina but his value reminds me of Vincent Jackson’s, too little performance with too much hype. His fantasy owners will be waiting for that one big year but I do not see it coming.

New Orleans is like Carolina as they have only 1 noteworthy player to mention and he is a restricted free agent. Terrance Copper, one of Sean Payton’s favorites, will be back in New Orleans. Fantasy owners should still hang on to this kid though.

Tim Rattay is the only player worth mentioning in terms of fantasy value. He is expected to be an unrestricted free agent this March. With a quarterback battler looming in Tampa, I am expecting Rattay to be brought back to compete with Chris Simms and Bruce Gradkowski, unless the Bucs go after a quarterback in the draft. Other than that, you can move along because there is nothing else to see here.

NFL Draft Live Wire 1/5/07

In a move that I expected, standout Tennessee wide receiver Robert Meachem will enter the NFL Draft as a junior. He has great size and strength and reminds me of Keyshawn Johnson. I will be doing a scouting report on Meachem now that his declaration is official. Robert Meachem will be highly sought after and is projected to land in the mid to late first round or early second round.

Also, stud defensive tackle Alan Branch from Michigan is leaning towards making his draft declaration official. If Branch does declare, he is expected to be the first defensive tackle off the board and shouldn't fall out of the top 12.

Troy Smith is "driven by doubt" as he hopes to prove his critics wrong with the NFL draft process. The only reasonable knock on Smith is his height (6-1), but there are many NFL quarterbacks with the same frame as Smith, including Michael Vick (6-0), Tarvaris Jackson (6-1), Charlie Batch (6-2), Donovan McNabb (6-2), Brooks Bollinger (6-2), Drew Brees (6-0), and Jake Plummer (6-2). Don't give me that bologna. I have said all along that Smith will be a high end first round prospect and he will be. NFL scouts learned from Vince Young last year, and Troy Smith is the wrong player to overlook in the 2007 NFL Draft.

I am standing by Ohio State wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez's comments. Click here to read what this brilliant young man has to say.

On the Mend... Part 1

The end is near, or so we think when we discuss the football season, but this is the time of the year where things are just starting to heat up. Sure, fantasy football season is over and you don't have any real reason to root for Jason Witten anymore, unless you are a Cowboys fan, and you can't celebrate Frank Gore every time he breaks a tackle, but hey, all good things come to an end. What do we expect for the future? Miss Cleo couldn't forecast the cloudiness that awaits writers like me, or readers like you, but the fact is many question marks will begin to get answered in the next few months.

Teams are starting to look at their options with their free agents. I will look at every individual franchises' free agent listing and discuss their key players that may leave or stay. Also, I will look upon possible replacements or what to expect with re-signing's or let-go's. Now, this is just for fantasy purposes. For example, the Buffalo Bills may lose key unrestricted free agent Nate Clements, but for general fantasy purposes, Clements doesn't matter to fantasy football because he is a cornerback. For all of your Individual Defensive Players (IDPs) needs, contact my fellow ffLiveWire.com writer Rich McDermott.

Let's take a look at the AFC East. The Buffalo Bills have only 1 meaningful player (remember, these are for fantasy purposes), that will be an unrestricted free agent. Running back Anthony Thomas seems to fit well in head coach Dick Jauron's system in Buffalo, as he was keen to it in Chicago. When Willis McGahee went down with a rib injury earlier this year, the A-Train stepped in and averaged 102 yards over a two week span. Thomas also reached pay dirt once. Will Anthony Thomas be back in 2007? I think so. Buffalo will probably approach him with another one-year deal. Things could get interesting though in 2008, especially if McGahee gets dinged up in 2007, as McGahee will be in a contract year and Thomas could step in and play good enough to make some people forget about McGahee and his injury problems. His fantasy value is slim, but it actually holds more weight than people think in dynasty leagues, mainly due to McGahee's lack of a contract extension and health concerns.

The Dolphins have some fantasy potential on the mend. Quarterback Cleo Lemon and wide-out Wes Welker are restricted free agents and backup running back Sammy Morris are unrestricted free agents. Also, Ricky Williams is said to have passed his drug tests and should be reinstated in 2007 to the Miami Dolphins. Firstly, we do not know what type of offensive direction this team will go until we see who they hire as the new head coach. Cleo Lemon is expected to get tagged at the 1.3 million dollar mark. Wes Welker will probably take a base RFA pay. Sammy Morris' services might still be needed but I do see a number of teams pursuing what he has to offer. Wes Welker has average fantasy value. He is more productive in PPR leagues of course, as well as those scoring systems that allow punt and kick return yardage. Cleo Lemon is liked among the locker room but with a new coach coming in, he may look for something else. Lemon has strong dynasty value because he could land a job as the #1 quarterback in 2007 but his potential is limited. Sammy Morris is the guy I want to talk about. He played effectively in the absence of Ronnie Brown and could attract some attention this off-season. One of my sources gave me what he thinks is a preliminary list of teams that may offer a deal for Sammy Morris. That list includes Green Bay, Denver, St. Louis, Houston, and Minnesota. I do not expect to see Morris back in Miami and he will not land a role as a starter of course, but could be a quality waiver pick-up as a guaranteed handcuff to say, Steven Jackson or Chester Taylor.

That team in Foxboro may be considered fantasy killers but New England's free agency might not have a large impact on the fantasy world. The only key unrestricted free agents will be tight end Daniel Graham and wide receiver Troy Brown. As for Brown, we know what his fantasy value holds and that is very little. Will Troy Brown retire? I don't think so but even Scottie Vines (WR; Detroit) holds more dynasty value than Troy Brown. Daniel Graham couldn't stave off injuries in 2006 and it appears that he has been replaced by Ben Watson. With youngster David Thomas stepping up as a reliable second tight end option for Tom Brady, I do expect to see Graham gone. I don't see much in his future. Personally, I think Graham's value is similar to Marcus Pollard's in Detroit. Dynasty owners may hang on to him but I guarantee that after 2007, you will be dumping the guy. With Eric Johnson expected to be gone in San Francisco, and from what a little birdie told me, Daniel Graham would fit in well with the 49ers behind Vernon Davis.

With the Jets of New York, only one player with fantasy significance will be on the mend this off-season. Unrestricted free agent wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery could draw a lot of interest from teams but I expect the Jets to show Cotchery some money. Cotchery fell just 39 yards from 1,000 yards receiving and looked like a gamer with potential to blow past Laveraneus Coles as the #1 wide receiver. He has been in the league only 2 years and is ranked 23rd overall among all wide receivers in fantasy value. He wasn't drafted in many leagues but was a popular waiver pickup. He has great numbers for being most owners' third option at wide-out. Will he be back in New York? Of course. Will he be a gamer on Sunday's for fantasy geeks? As a #3, hell yes. It doesn't matter who is at quarterback, I am sold on his route running, ability to hang on to the ball, and sell his routes.

Now, let's move on to the NFC West. The Arizona Cardinals do not have any major fantasy players on the mend in 2007. But, wide receiver Bryant Johnson could leave due to a clause in his contract but I don't think he will be going anywhere unless a trade is involved. Let's not get over our heads though.

The St. Louis Rams have some possible diamonds in the rough on the mend in 2007. Unbeknownst to me, wide receivers Kevin Curtis and Shaun McDonald will be unrestricted, not restricted, free agents. Also, their two backup running backs will be unrestricted free agents, Stephen Davis and Tony Fisher. As for Curtis, I think the Rams will let him walk as he will be one of the more targeted free agent wide-outs this off-season. If he lands in Detroit with Mike Martz, the sky is the limit, and his fantasy value could take off. I do not expect Curtis to be back in St. Louis, as I previously stated, because they might not be willing to give him a higher end offer like someone else could. As in higher end offer, I am not talking #1 WR money, but more money than the Rams would be willing to shell out. Shaun McDonald will get to work out with a variety of teams but he reminds me of Jabar Gaffney. He will land an active roster spot with someone but the chance to get cut is very strong, so McDonald still has little fantasy value until he proves on the field otherwise. Stephen Davis has just about as much fantasy value as Vinny Testaverde. That's all I have to say about him! Tony Fisher, he could return with a one-year deal depending on how the market plays out with backup running backs. He still has limited value. So, who will replace Kevin Curtis or Shaun McDonald, or both? Wide-out Dane Looker will return and will play as an efficient slot receiver but I expect St. Louis to target a wide receiver on the first day of the draft. If the opportunity is there, they could wind up with a guy like Sidney Rice, Steve Smith,or Jason Hill. As for backup running backs, I previously stated that Sammy Morris might wind up to be the best option for Scott Linehan and company. Duce Staley is another option. Whoever plays behind Steven Jackson has little value anyways, but is considered a great handcuff in deep leagues for that "just in-case scenario" of an injury to Jackson.

The Golden Gate Bridge may start rusting before all is said and done with Antonio Bryant. Bryant will not be a free agent in 2007 but is walking a thin line with hard nosed coach Mike Nolan. I do not see Bryant returning to San Francisco in 2007. He will be a Koren Robinson-like casualty in my analysis. If he lands anywhere, the list should start with either Oakland or Kansas City though. As for who will replace him, Arnaz Battle will step into that #1 role as he should be completely recovered from previous injuries in 2007. The 49ers will also target a wide receiver in both free agency and the draft. Now, Eric Johnson is an unrestricted free agent with some fantasy value. Johnson is almost a definite lock to not be re-signed. He did help teach Vernon Davis blocking techniques and such but he could be gone. As I said earlier, Daniel Graham could be a viable replacement for Johnson. Johnson's fantasy value is limited as the number of teams willing to sign him will be slim, but he will get snatched up in a hurry. Running back Maurice Hicks is a restricted free agent but I am not too sure about his status. I can't get anything concrete on him from any of my contacts. If anything of value does prevail, I will update this later in the off-season.

The Seahawks will be on the mend with wide receiver Bobby Engram. His health issues may put an end to what was a contributive career fantasy-wise. Engram is slated to be an unrestricted free agent and will be replaced by restricted free agent D.J. Hackett. Yes, I do not think Hackett is going anywhere, for one year at least. As for Engram, it does seem feasible that he will land a roster spot with someone like the Giants, Vikings, or Buccaneers.

With 2006 contracts to expire this March, a lot of free agents will be snatched up quickly. I do not expect this year to be full of big moves like last year when Drew Brees, Daunte Culpepper, Aaron Brooks, Terrell Owens, or Donte Stallworth were making headlines. I will be updating you with these listings over the next week or so doing two divisions at a time. Stay tuned while I am "On the Mend."

NFL Draft Live Wire 1/4/07

Entering the NFL Draft may not be an option for stud wide receiver Calvin Johnson. His family is pushing for him to stay in school as they stress academics but the writers across the country are pushing for him go for the pot at the end of the rainbow. The truth is that Johnson hasn't really touched on this subject and with the latest revelations on his family, I am starting to think Calvin Johnson will return for his senior season. Georgia Tech's new quarterback, Taylor Bennett is the opposite of Reggie Ball. Bennett has a great arm and great accuracy but didn't start for some unknown reason until Ball got into a little bit of trouble. Did I mention that Bennett is a good friend of Calvin Johnson, this is just another reason for Johnson to stay in school as the Yellow Jackets could make an even bigger push in the vulnerable ACC. All signs are pointing to Johnson staying in school. Good for him, bad for the 2007 NFL Draft. I am not expecting Johnson to declare by January 15th.

Fighting Irish wide receiver Jeff Samardzija is not contemplating dropping baseball for football, which will hurt his stock this April. Samardzija was quoted saying "The truth is I’m pretty much nowhere. It’s a tough decision. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’ll just go along and take care of my business day to day and week to week and hopefully something will present itself." He is still a first day draft pick but I am sure he will give us all a decision before the draft.

Another defensive back will enter the NFL early. Georgia CB Paul Oliver will skip his senior season and hope to land on a team on the first day of the NFL Draft.

I have some firepower to back up my claim on the Detroit Lions not selecting a quarterback or wide receiver with their first round, second overall pick. Tom Kowalski, a Detroit Lions beat writer with some inside knowledge to the situation, has declared that the Lions will not chase a quarterback or wide receiver in the 2007 draft. This backs up my claim that they are slightly hinting at Adrian Peterson, as confirmed from my last mock draft until all the underclassmen declare. But, they are also hinting at Gaines Adams, defensive end from Clemson. I think we will have another Mario Williams and Reggie Bush situation this year in Detroit.

Louisville quarterback, Brian Brohm, is still weighing his options for the NFL Draft. He has already said "it's going to be hard not to come back." Some media outlets have Brohm going as the top overall selection, but the fact is he is nowhere near the first overall pick. Nowhere near it! Head coach Bobby Petrino wants Brian Brohm back so they can try to cap off his final season with a National Championship. As the fans from Louisville chant "One More Year," I am starting to see the signs that Brohm will be back for his senior season in Louisville.

Year in and year out, it is the same story with new faces. The pieces don't yet fit the puzzle but they will soon. Stay tuned.

NFL Draft Live Wire 1/3/07

Michael Bush, projected by some to be the best running back prospect on the market until he broke his leg last September, is leaning towards entering the NFL Draft. After watching his team win in the Orange Bowl last night, Bush said he expects to make his decision either today or tomorrow. He has until January 15th to decide though. His father said he is not 75% yet but has been doing some agility and strength drills with the team. A poll on the Courier-Journal from Louisville shows that 78% of readers think that Bush should return for another season. I do too. Depending on how well Antonio Pittman can impress in his last showing until the NFL combine in February, Bush is looking at 3, possibly 4 running backs that will get drafted before him. He should return to Louisville next year, break a few records, erase any doubt, and get drafted as a top 10 prospect in the 2008 NFL Draft.

Oakland is on the clock

The clock has started and as we count down to April, we know that Oakland will be the first team to select in the NFL Draft. Now, with so many holes on offense, who would they take? Let's take a look at some options and I will theoretically predict who they will take in April, based on what I know now.

First, it appears that the offensive line needs to be addressed. Although I strongly agree with this conclusion, you must also consider that they need disciplined as well. Missing blocking assignments, looking left rather than right, and so on, cost this offense dearly in 2006. Even though OT Joe Thomas from Wisconsin was given a top three draft grade from the NFL Draft Advisory Board, Oakland can not risk taking him at #1 overall. He has had 2 knee surgeries in the last three seasons, and with the results from the Robert Gallery selection still hovering over Oakland like a black cloud, this would not be the best public relations move either. As for the offensive line, Oakland must address this issue later in the draft and via free agency. They will not take Joe Thomas with the #1 pick.

With concern over LaMont Jordan's health, why not take Adrian Peterson? Well, the front office likes Justin Fargas, and there is no need to spend 28 million dollars on a running back when LaMont Jordan is making 10.7 million over the next three seasons in salary alone, not including the bonus Oakland gave him. I agree that Adrian Peterson is the safest pick in this draft but Oakland won't select him.

The possibility of trading down for more picks is always intriguing but for the first overall, a team must be willing to give up 2 first round picks for that honor. Well, it won't happen. Oakland needs a money maker and an identity. Yes, an identity. Randy Moss is on his way out and LaMont Jordan may never be what he was in 2005 again. Plus, who can market a guy like LaMont Jordan. This is where Brady Quinn steps in.

Even though I think Brady Quinn is the wrong pick here, he better get ready to move to the Bay area. With the first pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders will select Brady Quinn, quarterback from Notre Dame. Like Van Wilder says, write that down! Sure, unless the offensive line is addressed like I recommended earlier in this column, Quinn will not have any time to throw plus he will be put in their to start from the get-go like David Carr in Houston. This pick might not make sense but when was the last time any Oakland decision made sense?

But, this pick makes perfect sense. It gives a great deal of hope to the distraught Oakland Raiders fans that walk the parking lot in their black and silver makeup and spikes. Quinn gives Oakland a face to market, like when Peyton Manning went to Indianapolis or when Michael Vick went to Atlanta. Quinn has tremendous talent, remarkable intangibles, and could give the media something "good" to talk about when the Raiders franchise is mentioned.

The kicker is that Al Davis is not too keen on drafting quarterbacks high. But like Glenn Dickey, he even agrees that Davis will have his chance at either Brady Quinn or Troy Smith. Bill Williamson from the Denver Post did mention that Oakland would pull the trigger on Brady Quinn if they ended up with the worst record in the NFL. Well, only time will tell but I agree. This is a no-brainer, Brady Quinn might even push the envelope for a 30-million-plus deal.
