Fantasy Football Tonight 6/28
IN CASE YOU DIDN'T HEAR...
LaDanian Tomlinson is now 30 years old. Not quite sure why this has become such a big story but figured in case our loyal readers really wanted to know this, now you do.
SPREAD THE WORD
University of Florida head coach Urban Meyer recently stated that a minimum of three NFL teams have contacted him wishing to learn more about implementing a spread offense. Don't look now but many teams are already running systems that have roots in a spread offense. The Patriots under Josh McDaniels and Dan Henning's "Wild-Cat" formation in Miami last year are just a couple of examples of the wave washing over the NFL. What once was outwardly dismissed and scoffed at is now all the rage in NFL minicamps and OTA's. The team at the forefront of this movement is the Miami Dolphins. With their second round selection of QB Pat White, the Dolphins are making a tremendous commitment to expanding their "Wild-Cat" package to include a true duel threat under center. It is expected that White will be used as the designated "Wild-Cat" QB and will be a threat to both run and throw the football at any time to any place. Fantasy football players had better take notice of these type of changes too. Not only are certain RB's and WR's going to increase in value because of their ability to run/throw the ball now but players such as Pat White could indeed be big time red-zone threats and thus scoring machines. You will want to read my training camp blog everyday beginning July 24th as I will break down exactly what spread offense wrinkles that teams are implementing this season and what players are going to suffer and benefit from it.
DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO
JaMarcus Russell called upon his teammates during the final days of Raiders organized team activities and begged them to practice hard and finish the offseason workouts strong. It seemed he was finally starting to take a leadership role with a team that desperately needs an on field leader. Then he took off and went AWOL on the very last day of OTA's. Supposedly he later told coaches that he had "personal reasons" for not attending but I would love to hear him explain that to his teammates whom he called out just days before.
