I beg to differ
ESPN.com’s fantasy football 2006 magazine features six “busts to avoid.” I think fantasy owners should avoid reading page 21 of that publication.
The six-pack is comprised of Mark Brunell, Willis McGahee, Joe Horn, Keyshawn Johnson, Antonio Gates and Adam Vinatieri. At least half of those guys will have a solid, if not great season in 2006.
Lets start with Keyshawn, who will be paired up with Steve Smith down in Carolina. When was the last time Johnson got a chance to play along a receiver as dominant as Smith? Never. Some will tell you that playing along side Smith could hurt his numbers because he’ll get less looks. I say it will create more opportunities for him especially in the red zone.
Keyshawn is a model of consistency, and this season his numbers should once again be right around 70 catches, 900 yards and six-eight scores.
The publications’ next mistake is Vinatieri. The guy is like the U.S. Postal service, he delivers in the rain, sleet and snow so just imagine what he could do in a dome. Sure the Colts lost their top running back but they’ll finish the season as one of the NFL’s best offenses and their kicker will benefit.
Finally, Antonio Gates is supposedly someone to avoid this season. Right. And you should also avoid the Publishers Clearing House van if it parks in your driveway. The magazine states the case that Gates is a great player, but someone will overpay for him in most leagues. The bottom line is that Gates is the top tight end in the league and he will outscore many starting receivers.
