Kenny Britt tore his right ACL and MCL last September, and had reconstructive surgery on Oct. 7. His season was over before it could even get started, but with the injury happening so early into the 2011 season, fans were optimistic he would be bounce back for 2012.

Raiders Run DMC “Making Cuts at Full Speed”

If Darren McFadden hadn’t suffered a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot week 7 of last year, he would have had a chance to crack 2,000 all-purpose yards. McFadden was also on pace to punch in 14 touchdowns for the silver and black.

Fantasy Value of the Cardinals Passing Attack

With the Cards selecting Michael Floyd in the first round of the NFL Draft, and a healthy Kevin Kolb and Wells, this could be an offense not unlike the 2008 Cardinals team. While I don’t think that Kevin Kolb is going to put up Kurt Warner-type numbers, the skill players could certainly grow by leaps and bounds.

NFL Fantasy Rumors and Links

Texans coach Gary Kubiak tells CBSSports.com that there is a “strong possibility” the team will add a veteran wide receiver. -Rotoworld suggests a player like Braylon Edwards or Plaxico Burress are in the running. The team tried the veteran experience last year with Derrick Mason, but it was unsuccessful. Mason was on the last-leg of his career, but the Texan’s offense is more complex than the norm. Most passing plays involve reading how teams react to the quarterback roll-out. Being able to adjust on broken plays or recognize zones and blitzes. There is not a lot to choose from in the FA wide-receiver market, but adding a skilled veteran could help the flow of the passing game….

Brandon Marshall Humbled, Focused and Happy

What can we, the fantasy football public, take away from a radio interview with Brandon Marshall. The guy is…well, a bit of a wildcard. I don’t mean to call-out one of my hidden fantasy sleepers for the upcoming season, but an great interview one day doesn’t mean that we’re not going to hear his name on TMZ or Pro Football Talks Police Blotter tomorrow, right?

Broncos Brock Osweiler Mile High Journey

New Bronco, enormous 6-foot-7 Arizona State QB Brock Osweiler, will do nothing more than hold Manning’s clipboard. While John Elway might have dreamed of drafting a prototypical QB with a rocket arm, Peyton Manning maybe the gunslinger haunting his nights if this draft backfires on their Super Bowl-or-bust trajectory.

Patriots Host Veteran Runners

Having lost their leading rusher Benjarvus Green-Ellis to Cincinnati, the New England Patriots have brought in a handful of veteran free agents for a try-out. Ryan Grant, Tim Hightower and Joseph Addai all worked out for the club this week and hope to join an already crowded, but inexperienced backfield. Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen, both drafted last season, are expected to be in contention to replace Green-Ellis as the main runner and short yardage option in the Patriots high-octane offense. Danny Woodhead‘s role as a versatile, third-down specialist and change-of-pace ball carrier should remain unchanged. Soon to be 36 year old Kevin Faulk is also in the mix to make the team due to…

Michael Turner’s Plummeting Fantasy Stock

At a glance, Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner had a pretty good year in 2011. However, when you dig deeper into his numbers you notice a concerning trend with him – a trend that should knock him down fantasy football draft boards.

With 1,340 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns last year, 2011 was one of Turner’s most successful seasons during his eight-year NFL career. But don’t let those numbers fool you, Turner was inconsistent last season, especially late in the year. Turner had a stretch at the end of the season where he struggled. From Weeks 12 to 16, Turner rushed for just 280 yards, which is an average of 56 yards per game. He also averaged fewer than four yards per carry and scored just one touchdown during that span.
