Here is my first take at a list of breakout or undervalued players for 2009.Quarterback Matt Ryan/Atlanta Falcons - After posting a decent 17 TD passes as a rookie, the second-year pro will now have the best tight in the NFL to throw to this season. Lets face it, the missing factor for this offense was at the tight end position. Now with Tony Gonzalez in the fold, it will be very hard for

Vernon Davis aggatates Coach NolanVernon Davis had only one catch in Sunday's game. After the catch, he shouted at the 49ers' sideline, angering head coach Mike Nolan, reports the San Jose Mercury News. "He got a little excited, yes he did, and I told him to sit down," said Nolan. Our View: Davis has been a huge disappointment in the Mike Martz offense, and this action probably won't make matters

Whatever the reason, try to identify those players and make sure you don't reach too soon. We aren't saying avoid these players

Falcons Release Warrick DunnThe Falcons have released RB Warrick Dunn. The team wasted no time in dumping a disgruntled Dunn after they just signed Michael Turner. The Lions are reportedly interested in bringing Dunn in for a look, but it's not known how he would fit in their offense. Dunn is past his prime as a big time fantasy player, but might fit a need as a RB4 if he finds the right NFL

Chicago return specialist CB Devin Hester has been making impressive catches in practice and is fine tuning his route running abilities.

Philadelphia QB Donovan McNabb is looking forward to his first start for the Eagles Friday night against the Carolina Panthers. McNabb has not been in game action since he injured his knee last November. I think we all are excited to see if McNabb will return to his form of '07 before the injury.

Colts DT Anthony McFarland hurt the patella tendon Friday and missed Saturday's controlled scrimmage after an MRI showed the extent of the injury, the team said.

49ers TE Vernon Davis continues to look virtually unstoppable at training camp. He has been catching passes out of the backfield, as well as over the middle from the regular tight end position. The 49ers are clearly looking to utilize him in a variety of ways. Davis is a very popular pick when it comes to TEs. I would certainly draft him as a top 5 tight end this season.More Player News

The Green Bay Packers are loaded with many options to carry the ball this season, with names like Vernand Morency, Brandon Miree and Brandon Jackson joining holdover Noah Herron at RB. That could make Green Bay the latest team to use a running-back-by-committee approach. HC Mike McCarthy, though, emphasized that he'd like to see someone emerge. "You'd always like to see someone jump up and grab a

There is nothing a fantasy owner hates more than a running back battle in training camp. When the battles last up until the beginning of the season, no fantasy owner can really know what will happen before they have to start making their picks. Yet, it is not all bad for owners. The risk takers can end up with a steal in the draft if they want to take a chance on one player over the other. Of

Not a surprise after watching Warrick Dunn slow down in the second half last year, but there are indications that Jerious Norwood will get a bump up in number of touches this season. After watching the second-year back motor for touchdowns of 78 and 69 yards last season, that would seem to be a fine idea indeed. On the strength of those long gallops, Norwood averaged 6.9 yards per carry on 99

According to league sources, WR Troy Brown has reached agreement on a one-year deal that will bring him back to New England for a 15th season - second in club history only to Steve Grogan's 16 - and ensure that Mr. Patriot remains in Foxboro. Don't expect a fantasy impact from Brown but it is nice to see a player remain on a team for 15 seasons. Free-agent strong safety Donovin Darius, released

Baltimore Ravens starting QB Steve McNair is scheduled to appear in a Nashville, TN, courthouse tomorrow to face his driving under the influence by consent charge. McNair will appear alongside his brother-in-law, Jamie Cartwright, who was arrested on a DUI charge. "I think there is a very good chance to get it worked out as far as the driver is concerned," said Roger May, McNair's lawyer. "If

Updated Player News Seahawks WR Deion Branch is on the move, and his quarterback believes the receiver will have a big year. This year, Branch is moving to the "Z", an outside spot on the tight-end side. It's the spot veteran Darrell Jackson played for most of the last seven seasons, totaling 63 catches and 10 touchdowns in 2006. Branch is more of a WR3 right now but does have big upside. Tyna

Dallas Cowboys' placekicker Martin Gramatica is still considered to be the clear favorite to win the starting job with the team in 2007. Rookie free agent Nick Folk will also compete for the starting role in Training Camp. There are far better kickers in the league than Gramatica, so don't draft him.One great sign from Patriots' minicamp was SS Rodney Harrison running full speed and taking part

Last year the Kansas City Chiefs used LB Boomer Grigsby as an emergency fullback during practices. He looked so natural in the position that head coach Herm Edwards approached Grigsby at the end of the season to suggest he make the switch to fullback this year. The Chiefs have been quietly impressed during offseason practices with Grigsby's aptitude for his new position and are hopeful he could

The saga of Dolphins' QB Daunte Culpepper took yet another ironic twist as his name has surfaced on the rumor mill with another team – no other than the border rival Packers. Green Bay, which was thought to be making a serious run for Randy Moss – to the point that Brett Favre made pre-draft guarantees that he would be a Packer and was clearly miffed when that didn't happen – is now allegedly

According to Cleveland Browns' general manager Phil Savage, CB Gary Baxter might be a candidate to begin the season on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, but Savage is optimistic he could play sometime this season. Baxter has no fantasy value.The Detroit Lions haven't had a winning record since 2000 and haven't won 10 games since 1995. That's all going to change in 2007, according to QB

Larry Johnson, RB KCNews: The Kansas City Star reports that Chiefs RB Larry Johnson is planning to not attend the club's training camp this summer unless he gets a contract extension before it begins. Johnson is under contract for 2007 but is a free agent in 2008 and is expecting a contract similar to LaDainian Tomlinson's. When asked if he was prepared for a long hold out, Johnson said, "I'm

Analysis: We felt Pittman was a potential Fantasy sleeper for 2007 until he landed with the Saints. He'll be buried there, making him a useless option in seasonal leagues at this point.

Had Fitzgerald played in all 16 games, he would project out to 85 catches, 1,163 yards and seven TDs. A hamstring injury cost him in three games and limited him in a fourth.

Washington Redskins' CB Fred Smoot is looking to redeem himself this season in his return to Washington. "I want to prove to people that I'm the same Fred Smoot who left here," he said of his departure for Minnesota two years ago. "Some people doubt I'm a good corner anymore. I like being doubted." Smoot is not a recommended IDP player. He is most likely past his prime. Atlanta Falcons' QB

By:  The Skiman Date: 6/14/07  No other rookie position on the offensive side of the ball is more impactful than at running back.  Get the ball.  Run the ball.  Unlike a wide receiver, tight end or quarterback, running backs typically are the most productive fantasy players on offense.   All wide receivers, tight ends and you could argue quarterbacks, combined from the first round were not as

By: The Skiman Date: 6/13/07  Every year the anticipation of the new crop of rookies being indoctrinated into the NFL rosters is very high.  Optimism for the upcoming season runs high.  The draft provides hope of the downtrodden teams while bolstering the depth of the successful ones.   And every year that optimism is based on the performance of kids coming out of college programs that are as
