ESPN Rankings 56-60

by Fantasy News

56. LenDale White, Tennessee, RB

White is supposedly in great shape this year and might have moved past his Len “Whale” days. In any case, he’s still not a great fantasy option because Chris Johnson will get the most touches with the Titans. White will get perhaps 10 carries a game and the vast majority of goal-line carries. He’s pretty valuable in touchdown-only leagues and exactly the opposite in PPR/yardage leagues.

57. Antonio Bryant, Tampa Bay, WR

Hard to believe, but Jeff Garcia is actually a significant upgrade to what the Buccaneers figure to have at quarterback this season. Bryant was ninth among wide receivers and I don’t see him finishing anywhere close to that this year. Maybe, I’ll be wrong, but I’m not risking my fantasy teams on it.

58. Dallas Clark, Indianapolis, TE

Clark is often ignored in the premier tight end conversation, but he usually finishes right near the top. Last year, he was third among tight ends, outscoring the stalwart Antonio Gates. He should be strong again this year with Marvin Harrison put out to pasture in Indy. Expect another top 5 finish for Clark, one you might be able to get much later in the draft than with the top-tier tight ends.

59. Matt Schaub, Houston, QB

As long as Schaub has Andre Johnson and an up-and-down defense (he still has both), he will score among the top fantasy quarterbacks when healthy. The trouble is, Schaub always seems to miss a good amount of time to injury. Schaub averaged 19.9 points per fantasy start last year, which would have put him sixth among QBs if he started all 16 games. But Schaub missed five games due to injury pushing him down to 21st.  If you take him, get a very good backup.

60. Knowshon Moreno, Denver, RB

Moreno should win the starting job in Denver, but it’s hard to predict what kind of fantasy season will result. I don’t like Kyle Orton as a quarterback and I’m not impressed by Denver’s offensive line. Moreno should be able to catch some passes, which will help in PPR leagues, but I’m not excited about him overall. I’d knock him down a few pegs below proven vets.
