Can Michael Turner repeat his performance in 2008?
Michael Turner turned some fantasy owners into slightly wealthier fantasy owners in 2008 with his 1700 yards rushing and 17 TDs. In 2009, he’s up among the elite with Adrian Peterson and Maurice Jones-Drew. Unlike last year, fantasy owners are now depending on him to produce huge numbers week in and week out. Last year, 1100 of his 1700 yards came in 8 games and 11 of his 17 TDs came in 4 games. Week 1 may not indicate a trend in 2009, but new owners may want some more consistency out of the big fella. 5. Tight End Parade – Can Anthony Fasano be 2009’s Mark Bavaro? Will Tony Gonzalez put up huge numbers on a team that can actually put points on the board? This game could be featuring two of the top five tight ends by the time the season ends. Anthony Fasano finished in 2008 by scoring 4 TDs in the final 4 games of the season and solidified himself as a red zone target for Chad Pennington in 2009. If Anthony Fasano starts out hot against the Falcons, consider yourself a genius for draft
