Quarterback
Whither Losman? He's been a fantasy punch line for most of his 29 NFL games, perhaps because the Bills reached badly in the draft to get him back in '04 (they traded away a future first-rounder to Dallas). Well, then there are also the silly media comments and his hair-on-fire field demeanor. The truth is, Losman did calm down a little in the final seven games of '06, throwing 12 TDs and eight INTs compared to 15 TDs and 15 INTs in his career before that point. He also averaged 7.1 yards per attempt last year, meaning he did throw downfield (mostly to Evans) on occasion. You'll hear many a clever fantasy wag outthink himself or herself this summer, and tell you Losman's got the potential to be a breakout player. Don't believe it. I'm not buying the o-line, Jauron is still a painfully run-first play caller, Losman doesn't have a ton of viable receiving weapons, and I just don't trust him. By the way, deep down, neither does Buffalo: They drafted Stanford's Trent Edwards in the third round this spring. Maybe Losman is the last bye-week QB in a 12-team league, but that's it.
This guy is just a dick. Check out what he said about Losman in the beginning of the article:
" J.P. Losman, who threw for 19 TDs and more than 3,000 yards in '06, can prove the second half of last season wasn't a fluke, he'll be a viable bye-week fill-in."
Go to hell dude. Either he is a pretty good player who isnt quite good enough to be your starter in fantasy, or he sucks and is gonna be replaced by Trent Edwads because he sucks so much. You can;t have it both ways.
I pretty much lost all interest in reading this when I read this little snippet:
"Given that the A-Train and even third-down man Shaud Williams will take away some carries, Lynch is only "start-able" as a No. 2 running back in 12- or maybe even 16-team leagues."
Shuad??? He had 2 carries last year. Two. If that is honestly what this guy thinks is "taking away some carries", he should do some more research.
