Atlanta Falcons

Updated August 29th, 2007

Michael Vick, QB - Vick will not play this season and likely not the next season either if ever again.  Do not draft him!!!!

Joey Harrington, QB - In comes Joey. The QB with the golden touch. Not a golden touch in his passing but more in his choice of teams to go to. After leaving Detroit, he went to Miami where he started most of the games because Culpepper was still too injured to keep playing. When Miami wasn't interested in keeping him, he moved on to Atlanta. What happens? Vick will miss at least the season and Harrington will now be the starter. The rest of the world will tell you Joey is not worth drafting. Keep an eye on him though. I still believe he has more talent than he ever had a chance to show on an inept Lions team and a half a season in Miami.

Jerious Norwood, RB - Because of Dunn's back surgery, Norwood has been the starter in the pre-season. Yet to my knowledge, Dunn is still the starter if he is healthy. Draft Norwood with the understanding he will get some carries to rest Dunn and become the starter if Dunn can't stay healthy.

Warrick Dunn, RB - Dunn puts up consistent numbers every season. The only mark against him is he does not score enough. Expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 yards and 4 TD's. However Dunn had off season back surgery and though he is expected to be ready for the season, one only wonders if he can hold up.

Michael Jenkins, WR - Jenkins is listed as one of the starting receivers and with Horn playing across from him he should see a lot of single coverage.  700 yards and 8 TD's is not far fetched at all.

Joe Horn, WR - Horn has been having a difficult time of staying healthy in recent years. If he can stay healthy, believe it or not, Harrington at the helm could be good for him. Joey does not scramble and this means that many of those passes that Vick would pull down and run with will instead be thrown Horn's way.

Alge Crumpler, TE - Crumpler has been without a doubt, Vicks favorite target. especially in the red zone. The question now is how it will be with Harrington as the QB. My bet is he will still get near the same again in 2007 as he should get 800 yards and 7 TD's.

ROOKIES

Laurent Robinson, WR - Robinson probably wont be more than a number 3 receiver in his rookie season and will not bring much to the table for a fantasy team in 2007. If Finneran does not play, Robinson will have the chance to be more of a producer for the Falcons.
