streams really came into his very own in 2009 by throwing for 4009 yds and 34 Td’s with only 11 Int’s. The previous NC State product was on point all year long despite the groups early struggles and it definitely was a complete joke that streams failed to make the Pro Bowl as he clearly was one of the finest QB’s all season. Brooks returns this year with just about the same offensive unit however it’s going to be hard to duplicate last year’s numbers. First, as I will discuss further in a moment, I expect LT to rebound this year and if he does that will cut into streams numbers. Additionally, I not especially sold on the Chargers receivers especially when Vincent Jackson is your number one guy. It’s hard to get on brooks case and he’s certainly one of the top five QB’s available in fantasy drafts along with Manning, Brady, and Brees. I might be surprised but not shocked if he surpasses his 2008 numbers. Draft him around the 3rd or fourth round.

According to all the pundits Tomlinson had a’horrible’ year. Since when is a horrible year 1110 yards and 12 total TD’s? 99% of the RB’s in the NFL would call those stats a career year. It actually shows you what type of career Tomlinson has had when everyone is prepared to kick him to the curb after one injury riddled, a touch sub-par year. Granted three of his TD’s came in week 17 which is the fantasy equivalent of the Pro Bowl week as most leagues conclude the prior week and if I had drafted LT first overall I would be pissed too. But seriously folks. Give the dude a break. I don’t think LT is the next Shaun Alexander and in contrast to NFL.com’s Michael Fabiano I don’t think Tomlinson is done though his days of rushing for twenty-eight Td’s are over. From all reports I am hearing out of San Diego Tomlinson is practicing with a chip on his shoulder and is one hundred percent healthy and looking overwhelming. With Darren Sproles proving to the state last year that he’s a more than adequate substitute notwithstanding his size, LT will not have to take the pounding as he did in the past. Sproles will spell LT more this year therefore Tomlinson should stay fresh throughout the year. LT has been going anywhere from the late first round to the late 2nd round of the ridicule’s I have been doing. I have even nabbed him coming back around after drafting Peterson number one overall so basically round three. If you can get Tomlinson anywhere in the 2nd round you are committing larceny. If you draft him just ensure you cuff him later in the draft with Sproles.

In my estimation the Chargers receiving corps is average at best with Jackson leading the way with 1098 yards and 7 TD’s. After Jackson the Chargers have Chris Chambers, Malcom Floyd, and Legedu Naanee basically rounding out the position. I had Chambers last year and was starting him before he got hurt and the former Wisconsin product was essentially on a pretty nice TD run before his injury. He’d have one catch and that catch would customarily go for a score. Then he slid off seriously after sustaining the injury and was subsequently forcefully entrenched on my bench. As for Jackson, a lot of folks think he has the potential to break out this year and that belief is illustrated by the indisputable fact that he has been going around the 4th-5th round of the CBS Sports ridicule drafts. In my estimation that’s too high for him but that’s only my take and if you’ve got a tummy feeling that he’s going to perform then draft him. The Chargers sport a strong offense and Jackson is undoubtedly the number 1 receiving option on the squad together with TE Antonio Gates. Im just pointing out that 2008 was the 1st time that Jackson has been over 1000 yards and I truthfully view him only a number three receiver or Flex option. Furthermore, Jackson has an amassed a series of DUI’s one of which is currently being litigated on and so will be a character risk for any owner that selects him. To his defense, he does have brooks throwing him the ball which will definitely help as will the indisputable fact that the Bolts offense is capable of putting up heavy points. If you’ve got a tummy feeling about Jackson take him I just personally don’t have that tum feeling and will very likely avoid him on draft day. As for Chambers, Naanee, and Floyd, avoid all till they prove they are capable of putting up consistent stats. Floyd, based primarily on his last year’s performance is the wildcard to watch for the Chargers early on as he and rivers seemed to form some nice chemistry as the season progressed.
