Top 5 Fantasy Linebackers

July 30, 2008

These are the Fantasy Linebackers you want on your IDP team this season. Linebackers are the best option on defense to score you the most points and these guys will bring it every single week.

1. Patrick Willis

Coming off a monster rookie year this guy will be the first LB taken in almost every league. If you have shot at landing Willis in the early rounds of you draft, do it you won’t regret it. The fact that the 49ers have a bad offense will help Willis because he will be spending a lot of time on the field.

2. Brian Urlacher

Urlacher has long been considered as one of the best all around linebackers in the league, as he has the ability to stop the run, drop back into coverage and get after the quarterback. All of this translates into huge numbers for you fantasy team. He should find himself in the 100 tackle and multiple interception and sack range come seasons end.

3. Kirk Morrison

Morrison has put together a great start to his career in Oakland. He has consistently had over 100 tackles and continues to be force in the teams pass defense. He should provide your team with a good amount of points for the up coming season as the Raiders offense will continue to go through significant growing pains.

4. E.J. Henderson

One of the most underrated players on one of the leagues best defenses. Henderson has a couple of monster D tackles playing in front of him who will keep would-be blockers away allowing him to keep making the kind of plays he has been know for. Also the acquisition of Jared Allen to an already solid front four, which includes the Williams brothers, will help his production as well.

5. London Fletcher

Although, he is getting older Fletcher is still a tackling machine. He has the ability to put up some huge tackling numbers and should also be able to help out in the passing game. One of the main reasons why he makes this list is due to the presence of Jason Taylor on Washington’s D. The fact that Taylor is there means that offenses will be forced to double him and leave Fletcher unblocked making him a solid Fantasy Linebacker.

Honorable mention: D.J. Williams, Derrick Johnson, Will Witherspoon.

Why L.A. Why?

June 23, 2008

Now why in your right mind would you trade Mike Cammalleri? Hello, Dean Lombardi, I'm talking to you!! Cammalleri, who turned 26 last week, had 19 goals and 28 assists in 63 games last season.

His best season was 2006-07, when he had 31 goals and 46 assists in 81 games. Yes, that's right, Dean traded a 26 year old, soon to be star, to the Flames for the 12th overall pick? Give me a %*&!@# break. Are you a couple of cards short of a full deck Dean or what!

Stuff like this makes me sick. Yes, I'm a Kings fan, but still, how dumb are you. And to make things worse, they go and trade the 12th pick to Buffalo for the 13th pick and a 3rd round pick? Ahh, hello, Dean, are you there. Don't you think, if Buffalo wants that pick that they would give alot more than just a third rounder and there 13th pick? I guess not Dean, you donk. Anyways, that's all i got to say about that!

I'm extremely ticked, as you can tell, but I'mhappy for Mike cause he's a great player and hes gonna make a mess with Jarome Iginla by his side. If he can stay healthy he can easily reach the 50 goal plateau, and possibly reach 100 points in Calgary.

All you fantasy players out there here's a player you might want to draft earlier then normal in most drafts. Well call Mike our semi sleeperpick for the 08/09 season. Coming off an injury plagued season and playing with one of the worst teams in the NHL, Mike is do to have a great year with the Flames.

Go Mikey Go! Make the Kings eat it!
