Why NFL Fantasy Guide?

WE ARE SORRY: Due to the overwhelming time it takes to keep up with Fantasy Stats, I am no longer creating up to date draft lists and such on this blog.

However, I would like to remind you that the articles are for the most part still good advice to keep to heart when playing Fantasy Football.

Philadelphia Eagles Fantasy Players

Quarterback - Donovan McNabb - (Position Rank - 6)
(Passing) 3,500 Yards, 21 TD, 10 IT, 28 Sacks
(Rushing) 150 Yards, 1 TD, 5 Fumbles
McNabb's only down fall is his health. If he stays healthy, he is a great quarterback for fantasy football. For the last two seasons, he has stayed virtually healthy, but unfortunately he does not run as much as he once did.

Quarterback - Michael Vick - (Position Rank - 11)
(Passing) 600 Yards, 4 TD, 2 IT, 4 Sacks
(Rushing) 800 Yards, 5 TD, 2 Fumbles
(Receiving) 35 Catches, 400 Yards, 2 TD
I will admit right from the start. I may be jumping the gun quite a bit here. To me it is obvious that Philadelphia signed Vick to use him in the Wildcat offense. I see Vick as becoming the modern version of Slash. Remember Kordell Stewart before he got stupid and became only a quarterback? Vick will throw passes, run with the ball and catch the ball. I do not believe that the Eagles signed him, risking a fall out with the fans and media to use him as a decoy or ride the bench. They will play him and they will utilze his speed.

The problem is that you wont get him for the first 6 weeks of the season. Draft the rest of your starters first then take him to ride your bench until he can play.

Running Back - Brian Westbrook - (Position Rank - 11)

(Rushing) 1,100 Yards, 9 TD, 1 Fumbles
(Receiving) 60 Catches, 450 Yards, 4 TD
When healthy, Westbrook is one of the best running backs in the game. The good news is he has not missed more than two games in a season in a while. The bad is that he is recovering from an ankle injury. The good is that he expects to be ready for the opener.

Wide Receiver - DeSean Jackson - (Position Rank - 35)
(Receiving) 75 Catches, 1,050 Yards, 4 TD, 2 Fumbles
As a rookie, he had 62 catches for 912 yards. I expect him to lift his game a little but not by a lot in his second season.

Wide Receiver - Kevin Curtis - (Position Rank - 42)
(Receiving) 65 Catches, 850 Yards, 5 TD, 0 Fumbles
Okay, I will admit it. He should be ranked a littler worse. I am playing a hunch here.

Wide Receiver - Jeramy Maclin - (Position Rank - 81)
(Receiving) NA
Philadelphia has a habit of spreading the ball around. Westbrook will get it a lot and now Vick will too I think. Being the third receiver and a rookie, Maclin is not in position to have a big year.

Tight End - Brent Celek - (Position Rank - 12)
(Receiving) 55 Catches, 570 Yards, 4 TD, 0 Fumbles
Celek is a late round flier. Nothing more unless your league demands two tight ends.
