If Donte Stallworth leaves via FA, look at Jason Avant. The Eagles love his route running and hands and he'll be at least #3, if not #2.
				
			I'll never knock a team for taking a chance on a sleeper, but unheralded guys who have already been cut by at least one NFL team generally belong in the trash bin alongside Jarrett Payton, Quincy Wilson, and Damien Nash.Let's see about a RB....Andre Hall, Denver.

Johnson will be a UFA at the end of the next season and I think if he is given the chance to start somewhere he could become a good FF WRWillie Reid is far too fragile and unproven to think he will even start a game at WR.
My picks
WR Bryant Johnson AZ Looked like he could be a horse. Led league in YPC for a while.
WR Bryan Gilmore SF Someone has to catch the ball in SF, and with Bryants suspension, 2 week sleeper?
WR Ruvell Martin GB This guy got on my radar in the last few GB games, Favre likes to spread it out...
WR Marcus Vick MIA Another Vick? Hmmm... Forgot about this one.
RB Justin Fargas OAK A small diamond in the rough in OAK, did admirably as a bye week fill in 06..
RB Verron Haynes PIT Injured most of 2006, Davenport didnt do very well, Haynes could factor in 07.
Isn't this just the 2007 version of D Carter vs K Colbert?From Rotoworld:Jeff Webb-WR- Chiefs Jan. 18 - 9:37 am etI like Jeff Webb, WR, KC as a longshot to start. He has been told he will compete with Samie Parker for WR2
The Kansas City Star believes second-year wide receiver Jeff Webb is a viable candidate to start in 2007.
It looks like last year's sixth-rounder will be a No. 3 at worst with Dante Hall moving out of the main receiver rotation. Webb versus Samie Parker is already shaping up as a battle to monitor, assuming Kansas City doesn't add talent to the position.

Jeff Webb-WR- Chiefs Jan. 13 - 12:04 pm et
Chiefs coach Herm Edwards specifically mentioned 2006 sixth-round receiver Jeff Webb while speaking about the future of the offense Friday.
With Kansas City poised for potentially sweeping changes, Webb could have a shot to push Samie Parker to start. The 6-2 Webb has better size than Parker, 5-11/190, who might fit better as a slot receiver.

Not bitter. Just clarifying the cold hard facts for the mouthbreathing Casual Footballguys on the message board.Bitterly cold, or just bitter there Mr. Bears Fan?Let go, not re-signed, whatever. Hass is in Chicago, Gage isn't.GRIDIRON ASSASSIN said:Wrong. Justin Gage's contract is up. He's an unrestricted free agent. Man alive are you guys dense. Let me guess... it's the offseason?Jeff Pasquino said:I saw that.Justin Gage was let go, he could step in.roughrider said:Mike Hass
WR | (6'0", 208, 4.61) | OREGON STATE
cut by N.O signed today by Chicago.
was drafted b4 M.Colston
Good call.![]()
(Rotoworld) Bears signed wide receivers Mike Hass and Brandon Rideau, tight end Richard Angulo, guard Tyler Reed, defensive end Copeland Bryan, and tackle Mark LeVoir and allocated them to NFL Europa.
Impact: Hass couldn't make the Saints as a sixth-round pick (a round ahead of Marques Colston) last year and landed on Chicago's practice squad. He has an outside shot to take free agent Justin Gage's roster spot in 2007.
Good name to drop.The MIN WR situation has to be watched, but McMullen and Tarvaris Jackson did well together. McMullen we covered (ok, I covered) in the end of year Dynasty Watches. His prospects are decent if he does well in camp and the Vikings don't make a big move to add WR help.And finally a first... Billy McMullen, WR - MIN. He posted some decent numbers last year for a first-year player, and will likely be given a shot at a starting position this year. Robinson & Taylor are clearly not long-term solutions, and Williamson couldn't hold onto a signing-bonus let alone the football.

Grade: 30 | Key
Alert: RB
Comment:
Is a quick, athletic and versatile back. Has great fluidity in his hips and extremely quick feet. Runs with a great center of gravity. Shows balance and body control. Is quick when changing directions and hitting the opening crease. He shows great vision and the ability to stop-and-start on a dime when he sees something open up. He is very elusive and will make defenders miss in space on a consistent basis. He runs hard for his size and isn't afraid to "hit it up" full steam inside. Reminds us a bit of a Tiki Barber as an inside runner finds his crease, gets lost behind his linemen and gets through the LOS with great quickness and burst. He has very smooth and natural hands as a receiver. Is a threat in space after the catch. Is fluid and can adjust to the poorly thrown ball. Is tough and willing as a pass blocker; just needs to improve his technique and learn to overcome mismatches. Also has some upside as a KOR specialist. ,Is a quick, athletic and versatile back.

Don't forget about Garrett Mills in NE.I would add EBF's opinion of Matt Cassell. He is a buy and stash candidate for dynasty. The downside is that there is no point in holding him unless you are committed to holding him for the entire year. If Daniel Graham moves on, I like Dave Thomas, the TE 3 for NE. He might have the best hands of anyone on the team. If Graham goes, get him fairly early. Don't wait for him to have a big game, and then be at the mercy of the waiveer wire. NE spreads the ball around, but without Graham, I believe Thomas will produce in that TE 10-15 range, which is not bad for a waiver wire player.People know him, but watch the Cleo Lemon situation in Miami closely. He could get playing time if Daunte struggles.
Yes, but only because he was drafted in one of my leagues. A full round ahead of Marques Colston.Jeff Pasquino said:You recognized Ben Obomanu??QB_DREW OLSON ..- RAVENS .. just someone to keep a eye onSweet - finally a name I didn't recognize immediately.

I haven't forgotten him, I just don't see him as much of a factor. I think Thomas will do better in the pro game. Mills has a chance to play if Evans leaves, but otherwise I see him as way down on the FF productivity order. Thomas made an unbelievable td catch agaisnt Jax in week 16.Don't forget about Garrett Mills in NE.I would add EBF's opinion of Matt Cassell. He is a buy and stash candidate for dynasty.

I also like Hagan. With Booker's injury issues and Chambers underperforming, it is possible that he could get a chance to start or at least be a WR #3.Also like McMullen in Minny. If for no other reason than they have to throw the ball to someone.Derek Hagan WR/ Miami DolphinsI remember seeing the guy play at Arizona St. and he was pretty impressive. Stepped in last year and did alright, but dropped some catchable balls. Could turn in to a pretty decent no. 2 next to Chris Chambers ( assuming they ever get a legit QB to throw to them).
...Where they liked him enough to trade him away. SD's staff did like Cleo Lemon enough to pick him up, but they didn't like him enough to hold onto him. What role Cam Cameron played in those two transactions, we don't know.something to remember CLEO LEMON knows his new head coach from LEMONS days in S.D ....
 whodat? Never heard of him.Really really really out of left field.....Devin HesterIf Ron Turner is smart, he will make this guy get his hands on the ball from the backfield, slot, reverse etc .... if Dante Hall can play WR, then this guy can too. And he does have crazy skills (that cannot be taught) once he gets into the open field and get a burst going.Crazier things have happened so who knows![]()

That is why it is the preseason. If a backup QB is what caused Marty to be fired, then the Chargers are in much more trouble than I thought.Regardless if the coaching staff liked him or not when i saw this guy play I thought he was very good and had some great intangibles.

Nice call here.A lot of good calls already...What does everyone think about Jerome Mathis, WR, HOU?Moulds didn't step up last year, and we know what Mathis can do in the open field. I think everyone forgot about him when he got hurt.

I was pretty big on this guy too coming out of college thought he had a real shot when Plax left Pitt. Think he has a nice skill set and nice size for a WR.I liked Fred Gibson coming out of UGA and he has now latched on with the Falcons.Falcons signed former University of Georgia star WR Fred Gibson.Gibson is a former fourth-round pick of the Steelers who nearly made the Dolphins back in September before an arm injury ended his chances.
I agree with this assessment of Mathis.He seems to be more of a PR / KR threatthan an every down WR in the NFL.Mathis is an excellent Kick off returner...ok to average punt returner and a below average WR. His progression as a WR has been stunted. Last year he was injuired all season except for 2 games I beleive. He did not participate in off-season drills because of a motorcyle accident. During his rookie year, he had hamstring trouble, so he rarely practiced at WR so the Texans could take advantage of superior KO return skills. He was far from a polished WR coming out of the draft and really has not put in the time to improve those skills. Right now is a primary KR who is a speed option as a 4th or 5th WR. If your league rewards return yardage he is an option, but has work to do even become a regular 3rd WR.
If only the Jags coaching staff could figure that out.Quinn Gray
I think the receiver to be watching in GB is Carlyle Holiday rather than Martin. Favre was throwing to him alot the last game of the year and the kid used to be a college QB and seems to have good hands and presence. Just needs work on his route running.Willie Reid is far too fragile and unproven to think he will even start a game at WR.
My picks
WR Bryant Johnson AZ Looked like he could be a horse. Led league in YPC for a while.
WR Bryan Gilmore SF Someone has to catch the ball in SF, and with Bryants suspension, 2 week sleeper?
WR Ruvell Martin GB This guy got on my radar in the last few GB games, Favre likes to spread it out...
WR Marcus Vick MIA Another Vick? Hmmm... Forgot about this one.
RB Justin Fargas OAK A small diamond in the rough in OAK, did admirably as a bye week fill in 06..
RB Verron Haynes PIT Injured most of 2006, Davenport didnt do very well, Haynes could factor in 07.
McMullen was a stud in Virginia catching a good amount of balls from Matt Schaub. When he was taken by the eagles, I drafted him kind of high as I had seen him play a lot and knew what he could do. Come to say, he rarely to never took the field for some reason. He's swimming in the FA pool in my dynasty league right now but I stll keep an eye on him and liked that he got some playing time in Minn since the trade. He could bloom into a solid veteran.Good name to drop.The MIN WR situation has to be watched, but McMullen and Tarvaris Jackson did well together. McMullen we covered (ok, I covered) in the end of year Dynasty Watches. His prospects are decent if he does well in camp and the Vikings don't make a big move to add WR help.And finally a first...

Join the club. I took McMullen in 2nd round of a dynasty league, I was so convinced he would be the 2nd coming of HErman Moore, but he has done very little, despite getting some opportunities with the Eagles. Really a head scratcher becuase he was excellent in college.McMullen was a stud in Virginia catching a good amount of balls from Matt Schaub.

No word from title town yet. If the Packers keep him - I figure he'll be up for a starting WR position. Just my thoughts, nothing to back it up from the Packers.Where does Koren fit in?I think the receiver to be watching in GB is Carlyle Holiday rather than Martin.

I still think baskett is a lock to be the #2, after all, he averaged 88 yards per TD last season.If Donte Stallworth leaves via FA, look at Jason Avant. The Eagles love his route running and hands and he'll be at least #3, if not #2.
