FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT KIT

Huddle Rank: 10

Comments: Rumors about being unhappy with his contract appear to be false so there doesn't appear to be an issue with him.

Huddle Rank: 8  

Comments: It's been said that the third season is the one where the defensive lineman breaks out. Big numbers ahead.

Huddle Rank: 1

Comments: Even with a dinged-up wing the guy was a beast. More of the same in 2009.

Huddle Rank: 35

Comments: White's solid play on the other side will allow Avril to develop into a solid fantasy performer.

Huddle Rank: 47

Comments: Showed some flashes of effectiveness for the Seahawks and with all the big-time edge rushers along his side he should produce for the G-men.

Huddle Rank: 41

Comments: Could push fellow youngster Charles Johnson for the starting spot very quickly.

Huddle Rank: 48

Comments: May be the one to assume the role voided by the Haynesworth departure.

Huddle Rank: 28

Comments: Overlooked for his steady production. Could easily be the better of the two Bear DEs.

Huddle Rank: 49

Comments: Another talented Giant pass rusher. Could see enough spot duty to be effective and is of course one (or maybe two) injury(ies) away from a starting spot.

Huddle Rank: 19

Comments: The addition of Haynesworth could free Carter up for big sack totals. At very least he'll approach 40 solos and 10 sacks.

Huddle Rank: 23

Comments: An underrated fantasy performer. Steady and productive. Could reach double-digit sacks for the Cards.

Huddle Rank: 40

Comments: Will benefit from opposing OLs concentrating on stopping Jared Allen.

Huddle Rank: 18

Comments: Looked to be regaining his old form in 2008. New coaching staff will use him to best of his ability.

Huddle Rank: 25

Comments: Some are expecting a resurgence from Freeney with Mathis chugging along on the other end and a better DT corps.

Huddle Rank: 33  

Comments: Moving back to DE for the Silver and Black; could post respectable DL2 type numbers.

Huddle Rank: 30

Comments: Great amount of sacks for a DT and decent tackle totals.

Huddle Rank: 31

Comments: With a full off-season before his second season he should make the leap.

Huddle Rank: 16

Comments: The move to the Nation's Capital won't mean he's not the best DT in the game.

Huddle Rank: 46

Comments: Won't get 10 sacks again but even in a limited role is an effective fantasy DL if nothing else a backup.

Huddle Rank: 45

Comments: The knee injury doesn't appear to be much of a problem and he could excel under the new regime.

Huddle Rank: 42

Comments: Could play well and despite the talents of rookie Brown could put up solid stats opposite Peppers.

Huddle Rank: 37  

Comments: Will be a productive one-gap roadblock for the Titans' defense with Haynesworth in DC.

Huddle Rank: 44

Comments: Had a massive number of assisted tackles in 2008 which could signal increased overall numbers in 2009.

Huddle Rank: 26

Comments: Even as a part-timer could crack the top-20 or with an injury to Tuck or Umenyiora could be top-10.

Huddle Rank: 34

Comments: Long's emergence could easily hurt his totals but may open him up for a decent season. Expect moderate stats.

Huddle Rank: 13

Comments: Under Spagnuolo's tutelage Long will have a big chance at a big breakout season.

Huddle Rank: 44

Comments: The knee is still not at full strength but will help the Bolt defense return to prominence.

Huddle Rank: 24  

Comments: The new DC is letting Ngata rush the passer a bit more in the 4-3 scheme. Could be in for a big season.

Huddle Rank: 12

Comments: The Bear defense could pick things back up in 2009 and make things happen. Ogunleye could be the catalyst.

Huddle Rank: 36

Comments: Flew a bit under the radar last season for a good Philly defense but could put up good DL2 type fantasy stats.

Huddle Rank: 5

Comments: Racked up his most sacks in contract season last year. Could be just as good this season.

Huddle Rank: 17

Comments: Could easily challenge Haynesworth for best DT status. Had a superb 2008 and could do more of the same in 2009.

Huddle Rank: 21  

Comments: Moves over to the Raiders where he'll see more sack opportunities.

Huddle Rank: 9

Comments: Flew a bit under the radar as a Bengal but everyone knows him now that he dispelled the hybrid rumor.

Huddle Rank: 38

Comments: With Super Mario commanding attention on the other side Smith could excel. Or rookie Connor Barwin could steal time.

Huddle Rank: 39

Comments: Had one of his best seasons in 2008 and with the LBs causing havoc in the back Smith could excel again.

Huddle Rank: 6

Comments: Could rise into the top 3 if he not Umenyiora is the better of the Giant ends.

Huddle Rank: 3

Comments: Osi's tiff with his DC doesn't appear to be an issue. He's healthy and ready to dominate once again.

Huddle Rank: 15  

Comments: Yes he's in a contract year but only played 10 games last season and is without Haynesworth causing havoc alongside him.

Huddle Rank: 15

Comments: No reason to think the sacks will go away and he's becoming a solid on-field leader for the Cowboy D.

Huddle Rank: 22

Comments: Basically all the Lions have up front. Despite double-teaming could get you 10 sacks.

Huddle Rank: 2

Comments: Could potentially challenge Allen for top-dog status this year. Improvements to the DL will only help Super Mario.

Huddle Rank: 32  

Comments: Looks like he's not going to miss any time to start the season. Slight bump up here.
