Houshmandzadeh</strong> &#8211; WR, Seattle Seahawks<br /> T.J. Houshmandzadeh predicts that the Seahawks will make the playoffs this season and that both he and Matt Hasselbeck will make the Pro Bowl. =Don&#8217;t believe everything you read, Housh says this kind of stuff every year. It&#8217;s one of the bad habits he picked up from  #85<br /> <strong>Andre Brown &#8211; RB</strong>, New York Giants<br /> Giants agreed to terms with fourth-round RB Andre Brown on a four-year contract. =This  guy has some real upside and might become a great sleeper, remember his name.<br /> <strong>Juaquin Iglesias &#8211; WR</strong>, Chicago Bears<br /> Rookie Juaquin Iglesias has reportedly already formed &#8220;a strong bond&#8221; with Jay Cutler at spring workouts. = So much for our  big sleeper secret, it was way too clear that someone had to step up for Cutler. Keep him in mind as a late tier 2 WR.<br /> <strong>Marvin Harrison &#8211; WR</strong>, Indianapolis Colts<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4636" title="dolphins-cheerleader" src="http://gridironexperts.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dolphins-cheerleader.jpg?9d7bd4" alt="dolphins-cheerleader" width="278" height="329" /><br /> According to Charley Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, there&#8217;s &#8220;buzz&#8221; the Vikings are pursuing free agent Marvin Harrison. =Rumor, I don&#8217;t see it<br /> <strong>Jerious Norwood &#8211; RB</strong>, Atlanta Falcons<br /> Offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey says the Falcons will continue to use their version of the Wildcat this season with Jerious Norwood under center. = Could&#8217;ve become a real fantasy weapon if the wildcat is called often, but with fantasy stud Matt Ryan under center odds are the Falcons will use the wildcat offense once maybe twice a game.<br /> <strong>LenDale White &#8211; RB</strong>, Tennessee Titans<br /> LenDale White is now down to 229 pounds after playing last season above 260. = Bad news for Chris Johnson owners, Lendale is not happy about being  type-cast as a goal line RB and looks to be trying to slim down for more carries.<br /> <strong>Correll Buckhalter &#8211; RB</strong>, Denver Broncos<br /> Broncos coach Josh McDaniels says Correll Buckhalter &#8220;just might be&#8230;our fastest back&#8221; and praised Buckhalter&#8217;s &#8220;burst&#8221; and &#8220;long speed.&#8221; = Now McDaniels  figures out how to kiss butt?  Eagle fans are snickering as Buckhalter has never been thought of as a burner. I would avoid Bronco players altogther this year as  a 5-6 win season is in store.<a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=6flp7KwoNKA&amp;offerid=177215.10000008&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0"><img class="alignright" style="border: 0px none #000000;" src="http://efashion.hs.llnwd.net/o33/efs/affiliate/AFF_NE_125x125_online.gif" border="0" alt="New Era (eFashion Solutions)" width="125" height="125" /></a><img src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=6flp7KwoNKA&amp;bids=177215.10000008&amp;type=4&amp;subid=0" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /><br /> <strong>Devin Thomas &#8211; WR</strong>, Washington Redskins<br /> Devin Thomas overcame his spring hamstring injury to participate fully in OTAs in June.<br /> <strong>Cedric Benson &#8211; RB</strong>, Cincinnati Bengals<br /> Running backs coach Jim Anderson insists Cedric Benson&#8217;s attitude and work ethic have been terrific since he signed with the Bengals last season. = Considering what the Bengals are used to, I&#8217;m not sure how much of a compliment this is, but Benson does have fantasy value</p><p><a href="http://gridironexperts.com">Fantasy Football:</a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://gridironexperts.com/fantasy-football-quick-hits/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Fantasy File: Quick Hits</title><link>http://gridironexperts.com/fantasy-file-quick-hits</link> <comments>http://gridironexperts.com/fantasy-file-quick-hits#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:54:28 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Mike Rodriguez</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Player Profiles]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Quick Hits]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://gridironexperts.com/?p=4603</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>Fantasy File: Quick Hits Chris Johnson &#8211; RB, Tennessee Titans The Titans believe the additions of Nate Washington, Kenny Britt and Jared Cook this season will keep defenses from stacking the box to stop the run.
