517 & 3 was his best year with the Cardinals, which is about 32 yards per game.Larry Centers.
Seriously, though, Freddie Jones wasn't terrible for a year or two.

Tie.
Both of these teams need to go WINLESS. I went big on the UNDER total wins for both of these clown teams,
His salary is fully guaranteed, so it effectively costs $0 to keep him. I don't think he's worth that much, though, so I think there's a good chance he'll be cut. Floyd, Brown, Allen, Royal, Ajirotutu, and then either Willie or DePalma for the sixth spot, IMO.

Larry Fitzgerald is still really good.
Rashard Mendenhall looks faster and quicker than he did with the Steelers.
If Ryan Mathews stays healthy all year, he should be a top ten fantasy RB. I know -- that's a big if.

He really does look like a steal at his current ADP. Unless you take a QB/TE early, he's likely ending up as your RB3/flex. For someone who we all know has a RB1 upside, I think it's well worth the risk.

Oh man, I finally caught up in the AZ/SD game. Cooper's injury made me sick to my stomach. Poor guy. He pulled from his LG spot around the right end, and the LB who made the tackle fell with his full body weight right on Cooper's ankle, which then was pointing in a direction which ankles are not supposed to point. :X

Different era back then - he was 3rd in yards and 8th in catches. If you didn't have Gonzo or Sharpe* you were probably playing matchups with waiver wire TE's.517 & 3 was his best year with the Cardinals, which is about 32 yards per game.Larry Centers.

did anyone get a chance to see trent richardson lastnight? if so, any opinions on how he looked?

Per Rotoworld (sounds like speculation on their part throwing out the "serious knee injury" bit:
Cardinals rookie RB Stepfan Taylor had two carries for nine yards in Saturday's preseason game.
He added two catches for 15 yards. With Rashard Mendenhall potentially dealing with a serious knee injury, Taylor could be a candidate for early-season fantasy value. He has 29 carries for 92 yards (3.2 YPC) through three preseason games and is competing for backup duties with Ryan Williams.

I thought that he looked ok. Didn't really have many big runs, but may have been more a function of the line. I actually thought that Todman looked like he had a lot more life in his legs.

Nice.
Except maybe we should reverse it? I'll start watching Heidi and then 10 minutes before it's over I'll turn it to the Raiders/Jets game and become enraged that this garbage is interrupting the end of the Heidi movie?

Considering that the Ravens wanted to see what Marlon Brown could do with the #1s, and then Flacco threw him the ball four times in 20 minutes of game time, and then he caught all four passes for 59 yards and a TD -- I think it's worth considering the possiblity that Brown opens the season opposite Torrey Smith.
Any projections about what he might do there depend on your opinion of Torrey Smith. If you think Smith is a well-rounded NFL #1 then Brown's probably still not worth much. But if you think Smith is better suited to a deep role...
Boldin averaged 8.7 targets a game over the last two years.

That's not good for Mendenhall. Seems like the big game changing OG are all getting hurt. Didn't the big rookie OG in Pittsburgh get hurt last year?

Looking like the hurry-up offense might be more like the hurry-off the field offense for them. Or the Skins D is that good. Or they miss Manuel that much already. This up-tempo thing isn't gonna work if it just leads to really fast 3-and-outs.

Shhhhhhhhhh!!!
Torrey Smith is not a well-rounded 1; he is a deep threat. So, the possibility is there for someone like Brown to step in and produce. With Pitta out and Boldin gone, someone has to, right? And Flacco seems to like Brown...

I am intrigued by Brown. He was a big time recruit out of high school. He was starting to show signs of life last year at Georgia. Then he got hurt and I totally forgot about him until I saw his name in the box score Thursday night. I find the WR2 options in Baltimore unconvincing, so maybe he can seize his chance and have a decent rookie year.
His college career was pretty quiet, but that's not unusual for a Georgia player. They seem to underutilize their receiving talent. Massaquoi only had one 900+ yard season and was around 500 yards in all the others. Fred Gibson (Steelers 4th rounder in 2005) had a career best of 801 yards. Reggie Brown had a career best of 860 yards and he was a 2nd round pick. Tavarres King had only one 900+ yard season. Even the great AJ Green never topped 1000+ yards there (though he might have done it in his final season if not for the suspension). With that in mind, Brown's career is a little more forgivable. He probably would've finished with 700-800 yards last year if he hadn't been injured, and that's not too far off what the other recent Georgia WR draft picks have done.

The Saints weren't quite as bad as the Cardinals -- they had some OK guys like Shockey, Billy Miller, Boo Williams, Wesley Walls.good posting here, and when was the last time the Saints had a TE prior to Jimmy Graham?Different era back then - he was 3rd in yards and 8th in catches.

Put it this way -- since 1975, the Saints have had 20 TEs score more than 55 fantasy points. The Cardinals have had 7.

I don't understand the fascination with stats like that. It's not like there's something in the water in Arizona that prevents good TE play. It's pretty much just random variance. If they pick up the next Tony Gonzalez in the 2014 draft, there will be nothing preventing him from rattling off 10 consecutive top 5 seasons.
Arizona hasn't yielded productive FF TEs because Arizona hasn't had any good TEs. I don't think there's anything more to it.

Looking very much like Pryor is going to get the nod on opening day.
It will be interesting for sure. He can certainly run. Beyond that... who knows.

I think people that are predicting the downfall of Foster might be a bit premature. The holes the offensive line are making right now would allow pretty much any above average back to be successful. I also welcome them using Tate a lot as a Foster owner.
