Fantasy Football NFC South Preview

Alright, this is post #7 on my Fantasy Football preview as we move to the NFC South. I will break down each teams fantasy sleeper, bust, and a former player that the team/you wish they still had. So here is the NFC South... (As always links are in blue (as they are for most sites everywhere), I know everyone knows that, but i am guessing some of my readers might keep on clicking on the orange highlighted ones and next thing they know it is Wednesday). Also since the season has officially started the last two division will be quicker posts.

Atlanta Falcons: This is the team that beat my Vikings after our 15-1 season where Randy Moss wasn't a complete jackass, well at least for the last half of the game in week 7 until the start of the week 8 game. Anyways, the Falcons came up with the "Dirty Bird". I don't know if that is in reference to the actual bird - The Falcon or Michael Vick's favorite expression to fans.

Sleeper: Joe Harrington - I can't refer to a football player as Joey since one of the New Kids on the Block was named Joey, even though Harrington may have been a bigger wuss than him. Could you imagine of Joe DiMaggio had been named Joey instead of Joe? I can't either. Either way Harrington, even on crappy teams completed more passes than Vick and that can't be a bad thing.

Bust: Michael Vick - Not sure he is going to be any good this year since he hasn't even taken a snap during the preseason, not a good sign for your starting QB in fantasy. Also, he already said he needed to take the week of December 10th off for "personal reasons" and that is right during most fantasy playoffs.

Former Player: Andre Rison - Basically because you need this on your team.

Carolina Panthers: Maybe my favorite team other than the Vikings, if only for this reason.

Sleeper: Dwayne Jarrett - A star WR at USC, could provide a complement to Steve Smith this season. He was ineligible for a short period of time due to an inappropriate living arrangement with Matt Leinhart. I guess the NFL has a Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy too.

Bust: David Carr - Brought in to challenge Jake Delhomme for the starting job but this guy has spent more time on his back the past 5 years than Paris Hilton at a Guy's With Frosted and Spiky Hair Convention.

Former Player: Rae Carruth - Was nicknamed "Da Troof" Well the Troof is, your next chance at the NFL is in 2018 and if Al Davis is still alive, you might have a chance to revive your career. So if you can trade for a 2018 draft pick now, you might want to in your league.

Cheerleaders

New Orleans Saints: This is the teams whose fans wore bags over their heads. Well as it turns out it was just the women and it was common practice.

Sleeper: Deuce McAllister - Everyone thinks Reggie Bush is going to be the guy this year, but Deuce is still around and wouldn't you want your RB to own a dealership that sells a car like this.

Bust: Reggie Bush - Really this guy is going to be awesome, I'll admit, I just like saying Bush. (because of the band you perverts)

Former Player: Archie Manning - Not to help your team, but to completely disgrace is because you are a complete a-hole. Not only did he ruin the Saints during his career for personal gain, but he decided it wasn't enough as at the end of his career he decided to rack up a 6-35 record for the Oilers and Vikings. Hmmm, any of these teams think it is maybe the QB's fault?

Lets finish the Saints on a happy note

Tampa Bay: This is a team that started 0-26 or as i like to call it "My High School Years"

Sleeper: Jeff Garcia - Who would you rather have as your starting QB: A guy who married a Playboy Model or a guy who has Phil Simms as his father?

Bust: Jeremy Stevens - His stats as a pro: several dropped passes, stomping on a 17-year old face, marijuana, crashing is car into a nursing home, DUI, sexual assault, vomiting on doors of his condo, used condoms left on back porch of his condo and loud parties that i am sure condoms and vomit were involved.

Former Player: Doug Williams - Only because he got asked the best question ever: "How long have you been a black QB?"

Alright, the last of the previews will come soon and also a review of the broadcast of the first game of the year by NBC.
