Rookies: Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends | Defensive Linemen | Linebackers | Defensive Backs
Every season, a handful of rookies make a big splash in the NFL and make for solid fantasy contributors. Both offensive and defensive rookies fall into this category, so let’s take a look at some of the candidates on the defensive side that could be solid fantasy starters (or backups) in 2009.
Patrick Chung (S – New England): Chung steps into a fantastic spot, with position flexibility as a strong or free safety. He’ll bide time behind Brandon Meriweather and James Sanders, but will likely step in as the starting SS very soon.
Vontae Davis (CB – Miami): Davis fits the mold as one of those playmaking, impact cornerbacks that somehow manage tackles a safety or in some cases, a linebacker, would be proud of. Davis will have to beat out the venerable Eric Green and a few also-rans for the starting spot for the Dolphins. DB is always an ultra-deep position, so don’t go drafting Davis until the final rounds in larger redraft leagues or just keep your eye on him as a free agent.
