Chris Cooley TE (Washington): not only is this man one of the funniest players in the NFL, he is also one of the most underrated TE’s in the league. Early reports had him getting some of his production taken away from Fred Davis, but hold the phone. Due to the constant 2 TE sets in Shanahan’s offense and the good rapport with McNabb, look for Cooley to have his best year yet.
Matt Leinart QB (Arizona): the walking STD is going to get the start over the weekend against the Redskins. Don’t let his stats fool you. Against the Titans a couple weeks back they were laughing at him because he was “King Check Down”. How is it that the most talented team in the past decade of college football could produce so many flops? I guess the pay really sucks in the NFL compared to what they got at USC
Michael Crabtree WR (San Francisco): ok, this is priceless. MC has a “diva clause” in his contract that requires him to take part in all mandatory functions and 90 percent of the voluntary offseason activities. I am not making this up. So when Vernon Davis almost knocked him out at practice the other day, let’s just say it was not frowned upon. Coach Singletary said he understood why Davis would want to knock him out for not playing in any games with a pulled vagina but would have liked to have seen it handled in a different manner. If MC would play nice with his fellow campers the sky is the limit, but for now I don’t know what will happen here. I am not saying don’t draft him; just don’t be surprised to see MC get off to a slow start because he is in the dog house
Jonathan Stewart RB (Carolina): Mr. Stewart is a game-time decision once again for tonight’s preseason finale. The bull to D-Will’s gazelle has not played all preseason. At first I was not worried, but now I am getting a little concerned. I loved both of these backs in this offense, especially Stewart, but now I would be a bigger fan of Deangelo Williams. Once Stewart gets healthy look for him to produce, but foot injuries on running backs can be very dicey.
Steve Smith WR (Carolina): he is not expected to play this week, but he will be a go for week 1. His stock is falling fast because of Matt Moore’s play and the sputtering offense, but I would buy him low and then reap the benefits. When this man is healthy, he’s an animal. Look for the offense to fall into place once the Mighty Mite returns week 1.
Vincent Jackson WR (San Diego): the Super Chargers are looking for two picks for his services. They would like a 2nd round pick this year and next. This is not a high demand, seeing that Brandon Marshall brought in a similar package.
