- NFC West Division
* Rankings based on my rankings as of today
I chose the "5 Card River Hand" as a title because I think if you stick with some of these players in your fantasy league you may end up in a damn good spot come playoff weeks or you may say what was Mike talking about non of these guys caught on.
River in No Limit Hold em is the final down card in a hand. That some people get lucky and catch a card for the winning hand.
San Francisco 49er's- Bryant Johnson - Its tuff to say that Johnson is going to be a threat without seeing him in a few games but this guy has probably taken the #1 spot in SF. That does not say a huge amount about it look up Darrel Jackson and his numbers from last season to seasons prior but it does say the 9ers saw something in him. I would not risk a high round draft pick on him but from what I have seen from him in the past he can be a damn good player in the NFL. Could end up being a very good #2 wide receiver. Ranked no. 47 on my board for WR's
- Vernon Davis - This is the year that Vernon can be a player or he can be moved to another team. Vernon has huge potential and I have always ranked him higher than I should just because the guy has freaky size and speed and can be the best in the league if he keeps his head in the game. Ranked no.5 on my board for TE's
St. Louis Rams- Drew Bennett - Slides into the #2 spot in St Louis this season with Bruce heading to the west. He showed that he could be a player in Ten. a few years back but seems to always be injured or no where to be found. If he wants to be a player he is going to have his chance this season to do it. With Holt next to him the double teams are not going to be there and if he gets the targets he can be a huge threat this season. Ranked no. 51 on my board for WR's will be moving up I believe in the next week or so.
Arizona Cardinals- Matt Leinart - I am not a fan AT ALL of the party animal but with Fitzgerald and Boldin with a pretty good line and a decent RB behind him there is no reason he should not be a good QB. If he can stay healthy he could be the dark horse for come back player of the year. Ranked no. 25 on my QB board.
Seattle Seahawks- Julius Jones - I kept looking over and over and over the Hawks offense and just could not put my finger on a guy that stood out greatly. Mainly because I think they are established enough to be ok. Julius Jones was the only player that I can see being a huge factor and really the only way the Hawks get back to the playoffs. He fits the system pretty well and he wont be ruled by someone that does not like him to begin with, he will be the man he was coming out of college. I see some good things coming from Jones but not anything close to top 10 #s in fact he is rated 26 on my draft board.
