Fantasy Player Rankings: Eagles’ DeSean Jackson

Can DeSean Score Touchdowns?
Action Jackson would of had four total touchdowns for the season, if he had not celebrated early against the Cowboys on a long catch from McNabb. But instead, DeSean maid a foolish error on national tv and only had three touchdowns (not counting special teams) in 2008.
Now if you are in a league that gets credit for the touchdowns he scores in special teams your gold with this receiver. But if you are in leagues that don’t give credit to his dazzling punt returns his three touchdowns total (two catching, one rushing) are concerning.
If Jackson had a bigger frame of a body, I would feel better about his chances to score. Then again if he was bigger he would have been a top-10 pick in the NFL draft last year and not slipped into the second round.
I do believe No. 10 will be Donovan’s top receiver for awhile. How ever don’t expect more than seven receiving touchdown in anyone season.
DeSean Jackson’s Fantasy Football Value in 2009
Look for Jackson to take over the No. 1 receiver role in the Eagles offense this year. While his touchdowns may come sporadically his reception totals and yardage will not.
McNabb loves to throw to the Cal Berkley product in his West Coast offense.
This season long time defensive coordinator Jim Johnson will miss the year fighting a battle with cancer. The Eagles also lost defensive captain safety Brian Dawkins to the Broncos.
These key departures will hurt the Eagles defense, thus they will be in shoot outs more often. Because of this Jackson will receive plenty of opportunity to succeed in 2009.
Look for Jackson as a seventh to eighth-round pick in this years fantasy football draft. Next year he will probably be a fifth round pick as he becomes a more complete receiver.

Fantasy Rankings: Minnesota Vikings’ Sage Rosenfels

Sage needs to cut down on the mistakes
I want to like Rosenfels for his run and gun style of play but the man just makes too many mistakes.
Rosenfels can go out and make some great plays and then make a horrible one, like the fumble against the Colts in the 4th quarter. In that contest, Sage for all intents and purpose was trying to make a John Elway Super Bowl type of play to get a first down.
Only problem was he went air born, got hit by three guys and fumbled the ball. One of the Colts defenders then picked the ball up and scored a touchdown. The Texans went on to lose the game after this momentum shift.
I really felt bad for Sage after that game because before that happened he was having a good game filling in for Matt Schuab. If they had beat in the Colts that day it would have been a huge confidence booster for the franchise.
But that is Rosenfels in a nut shell, the guy is that close to being a solid pro and then…

Sage Rosenfels Fantasy Football Value in 2009
For all of Sage’s problems the man can make some plays as well. He proved this in 2007 when in a nine game stint he put up 15 touchdowns and almost 1,700 yards passing.
In the end Rosenfels did sign with the Vikings and now should be the starter (pending Favre signing) for the Minnesota.
While Tavaris Jackson is talented, he is better suited as a backup. Sage can make better throws down the field and at times look like a very good quarterback.
If Favre does in fact stay retired look for Sage as a decent backup in deep fantasy leagues this season. But if Brett should sign with the Vikings, Rosenfels won’t see the field, as No.4 never misses games.
