Fantasy Losers of the 2008 NFL Draft

  Some of those guys (Simms, Rhodes) I wouldn't have expected to have a fantasy impact this year even before the draft.   You nailed it on the head on some of them though.

  Willie Parker is getting moved (or people are attempting to move) in Keeper and Dynasty leagues.  Strikes me as odd that we don't hear more about his injury.  Usually you have someone saying "I'll be ready by camp" if it's the player or even the staff.  Maybe they know there is more to it than we do.

  Kevin Smith is pumped to be with the Lions as they are going to use the same zone rushing attack that they used at UCF.

   Marion Barber was "THE Man" at RB in Dallas for a couple months.  Look for Jones to take 10-15 carries there.

  I think that the Redskins really set up Jason Campbell to take off in Keeper/Dynasty leagues with the WR's they took.  Two of the top WR prospects and one of the top TE prospects for depth behind Cooley.

    Campbell's def one to watch now that he has all those weapons. Let's see if he can bring them together for 2008.

  I like the angle and I agree with many of them. To add to the mix, I would like to point out that overall I think it is fair to say that all of us old school fantasy guys lose everytime another RBBC is formed.

  RBBC is something we are just not going to get around.  Those able to accept that and not live and die by RB can take advantage with WR's in PPR leagues.
