Fantasy Football drafts have started and Rookies <\/strong>could play a big part for Fantasy owners. There are a few intriguing options out there so take a look and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n

HERE ARE MY TOP ROOKIES FOR 2010.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quarterbacks:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Sam Bradford – St. Louis Rams <\/strong>\u2013 The First Overall selection in the draft could be starting immediately in St. Louis. As demonstrated with Matthew Stafford last year, there are bound to be some speed bumps in his inaugural season. Bradford is the future for a BAD team and probably won\u2019t be relevant this year. \"\"<\/p>\n

2. Jimmy Clausen – Carolina Panthers<\/strong> \u2013 Clausen may be holding a clip board all season depending on the play of Matt Moore. He does play for a solid team poised for a comeback this season but a Carolina resurgence will be due to the running game alone, not the passing game.<\/p>\n

3. Tim Tebow – Denver Broncos<\/strong> \u2013 Tebow is a winner but it is unlikely that he will see a whole lot of playing time this season. Next year at this time we could be talking about Tebow as a potential QB sleeper, but not right now.<\/p>\n

Others to Monitor:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Colt McCoy – Cleveland Browns<\/strong> \u2013 The Browns will rely on Jake Delhomme to carry the load this year \u2013 YUCK!!! McCoy will likely have to pass Seneca Wallace on the depth chart as well. He will start for the Browns, but not until the end of the season at the earliest.<\/p>\n

John Skelton – Arizona Cardinals \u2013<\/strong> Derek Anderson was brought in just in case Matt Leinart fails. Skelton has potential, just not this year.<\/p>\n

Running Backs:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Ryan Mathews – San Diego Chargers<\/strong> – Ryan Matthews will be thrown to the wolves almost right away. There is no talk of easing him into the starting job, the Chargers plan on getting him significant touches right away. Darren Sproles will still be the third down guy, but figures to have the same role as in previous years. 250-300 touches in a high powered offense can be expected. That\u2019s why he is going in the first round of many Fantasy drafts.<\/p>\n

2. Jahvid Best – Detroit Lions<\/strong> \u2013 Kevin Smith is obviously not the man in Detroit. Injury woes prompted Detroit to trade up for Best. He may not start the season as the feature back but it won\u2019t take long for the coaches to realize that he\u2019s their best option in an emerging offense. <\/strong><\/p>\n

3. C.J. Spiller – Buffalo Bills<\/strong> \u2013 Spiller is finally under contract but he will still be battling two veteran incumbents for a job. He was the first running back drafted and has a ton of talent but his touches won\u2019t nearly be as high as the first two on the list. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

Others to monitor:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ben Tate – Houston Texans<\/strong> – Steve Slaton will likely be the feature back coming out of camp, but Tate is everything that Slaton is not \u2013 powerful and aggressive.<\/p>\n

Montario Hardesty – Cleveland Browns<\/strong> \u2013 Power Back that could be in for goal line carries right away. He may be the best runner on the roster.<\/p>\n

Wide Receivers:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

1. Dez Bryant \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/strong> – He is big and fast and the one thing that he possesses over his competition (Roy Williams) is good hands. He\u2019s playing on an elite offensive team that really WANTS to get him the ball. Bryant will be a factor! It may take a few games but when the coaching staff realizes that his size, speed and will can change games, he\u2019ll be a legitimate Stud sooner than later.<\/p>\n

2. Arrelious Benn \u2013\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong> – The Bucs lost their only real receiving threat in the offseason, prompting them to draft two WRs. Benn\u2019s got size and speed and will likely be starting for the Buccaneers in the first week of the season. Tampa Bay will be trailing in most games forcing them to throw more than they want to. If quarterback Josh Freeman improves at all this season, Benn could be a steal.<\/p>\n

3. Demaryius Thomas \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos<\/strong> \u2013 Brandon Marshall is gone and Eddie Royal is terrible. That leaves the Broncos in need of a new star. Enter Thomas, who was drafted to be that guy. He appears to have a long way to go and with Kyle Orton or Tim Tebow throwing him the ball – expectations have to be tampered a little. But someone has to catch the ball for a team that will be playing catch-up in most games this season!<\/p>\n

Others to monitor:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Brandon LeFell \u2013\u00a0Carolina Panthers<\/strong> \u2013 The Panthers have been without a quality WR2 for an eternity, so LeFell has an opportunity. He\u2019ll get a lot of snaps in the preseason because of Steve Smith\u2019s injury, so he should be ready for Week 1 of the Regular Season.<\/p>\n

Mardy Gilyard \u2013\u00a0St. Louis Rams<\/strong> – The Rams are a rebuilding team and will want to see a lot of their young players. There is quarterback issues to say the least in St. Louis so it might take a while for Gilyard to develop.\u00a0: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Golden Tate \u2013\u00a0Seattle Seahawks<\/strong> \u2013 There is a lot of competition in Seattle for receptions but Tate has impressed and could be a factor yet this season.<\/p>\n

Mike Williams \u2013\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong> \u2013 He should be starting at some point this season\u00a0 -the truth is that the Buccaneers have no other choice. His starting status is reason enough for you to keep an eye on him.<\/p>\n
