2010 Player Spotlight Series

One of Footballguys best assets is our message board community. The Shark Pool is, in our view, the best place on the internet to discuss, debate and analyze all things fantasy football. In what's become an annual tradition, the Player Spotlight series is a key part of the preseason efforts. As many of you know, we consider the Player Spotlight threads the permanent record for analyzing the fantasy prospects of the player in question. This year, we plan to publish more than 140 offensive spotlights covering the vast majority of expected skill position starters.

Each week we will post a list of players to be discussed. Those threads will remain open for the entire preseason, and should be a central point to discussion expectations for the player in question. Importantly, analysis done in the first week of posting will be part of the permanent record in two ways. 1) At the end of the week, we will tally the projections into a consensus. 2) We will select a number of pull quotes from forum contributors who make a compelling statement or observation. Both the projections and pull quotes will be part of a published article on the main website.

Jason Campbell has been a disappointment to Redskins fans and hasn't played very well overall but he's played better than what's gone on in Oakland the past few seasons. It'll do OK in Oakland but the majority of the time, things are going to look ugly and I just don't think Campbell has that "it" factor to lead a NFL team successfully.

I happen to think Campbell's had a raw deal in Washington. Marginal skill players, new offense every year. He's no superstar, but Campbell was far from "the problem" in Washington. I think Campbell will be a successful NFL QB, but only a marginal QB2 for fantasy purposes. I'm a little more bullish in dynasty.3400, 21 TD, 14 int.

JC has improved each of the last 5 years under different OC's. His 65% comp. percentage was among the best in the NFL. He had 18 RZ TD's against zero RZ Ints. He has to adjust to new teammates, but has arguably more talent at the skill positions than he had in Washington.

I expect the efficiency to continue, which is good for FF, but he does need to prove he can pull out the close games. I think that there will be growing pains on the way to finding his role as the new leader of the Raiders.

I like JC for 3450/22/13 with 45/225/1 rushing. He could get off to a fast start as the first 3 games are Tennessee (maybe no VY or CJ), then STL, then AZ. Maybe a sell high candidate after 3 games.
