Who do YOU think will be the breakout stars in Fantasy Football '07 this year? Rookies? RB, QB, WR, defense?
Question:Rookies, new teams, new coaches - anything can change a player and their performance during the offseason.
Pick your top pics and tell me why you think so?
I believe McGahee will have a much better year in Baltimore, as well as JP Losman for Buffalo. McGahee has a better line and a much better offensive game plan in the run. Losman will have a better grip with more experience and his receivers gave some great explosive games last year, I expect a lot more.

Why do some fantasy sports not make you join leagues?
Rookie: Calvin Johnson would alleviate any team because of his athleticism and seems to have no weakness.OB: John Cutler is promised to have a breakout year. He has a RB with potential of greatest (Travis Henry), nice and reliable wide receivers (Javon Walker, Brandon Marshall, and Rod Smith), and a great offensive line.
WR: Donte Stallworth. He's going to be playing with Tom Brady, three time Super Bowl champion. Tom Brady needs a receiver to throw to and it's going to be him. Donte was fire before he injured his hamstring last season he reacked up about 300 receiving yards in 2 games.

who caresFantasy Football is still a long way to go, but I'm going to make my prediction for the upcoming draft:
Number One Pick: LaDanian Tomlinson
LT is still the best around after a career season and will still carry the load in SD, even if Michael Turner stays (Turner could find himself a new team before the season starts). Hope he doesn't get feature on this year Madden game, if you know what I mean.
LJ is another top pick but Michael Bennett looks to steal his carries and Herm Edwards has stated that LJ will get lesser load. Steven Jackson is another choice but with Randy McMichael and Drew Bennett on the team, S-Jax will probably get less catches in the offense.
My pick for this year breakout: Michael Turner
Turner is not officially on the trading block for San Diego, but many teams in dire need of a RB are looking to acquire him at any price. If he lands on a team that's willing to start him, look for him to be among the top-20 by the end of the season. Another star would be Joseph Addai, but he is a sure top-10 pick with Dominic Rhodes gone. Laurence Maroney is also a star in the making, as well as Cedric Benson, as both will enter training camp with the starting postion for the first time in their career, as well as Addai.
My breakout QB: Jay Cutler, Denver
In just 5 games, he manage to composite an 88.5 QB rating with 9 TD and 5 INT, averaging 200 passing yards per game. With a starting position and the crop of Rod Smith/Javon Walker to go along with new RB Travis Henry, Cutler could emerge from a fantasy backup to a starter in no time.
Rookie of the Year: RB MarShawn Lynch
JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn will be the talk of the NFL Draft but Lynch could outperform them if he gets the starting spot. He's projected to go to Green Bay by some mock draft and if it deems true, he can be a solid contributor with Ahman Green in Houston. Lynch rush for 1356 yards in 223 carries (6.1 YPC) in California, so he has some blazing speed in his game and along with Favre/Driver on the team, he could be this year Joseph Addai, deeming he should share with Noah Herron to start the season.
Breakout WR: Reggie Brown, Philadelphia.
This is the second time that Brown will enter training camp as the go-to guy (along with Hank Baskett) as Stallworth decides to take his game to New England. He has no injury history, so he makes a solid pick, and if McNabb is healthy, look for Brown to see the majority of the passes (if the Eagles don't make a play for another #1 reciever like they did last season w/ Stallworth).
Defense and kickers has change everytime this season, so there are no sure fire picks for either both.
