Can Vince Young take the next step?
In 2007, Vince Young might have been held back by since-departed offensive coordinator Norm Chow, and it remains to be seen if Mike Heimerdinger will open the offense up and let Young improvise more. That would seem to be the wise move and would cater to the young man’s talents, as passing accuracy is not likely to suddenly become a strength. I do expect Young to take a step forward, but let’s temper expectations to a reasonable level. He’s going to make big plays, but with that comes mistakes and turnovers, and fantasy owners should be prepared for that as well. If you’re looking for 25 touchdown passes, that’s not Young’s game. At the same time, don’t expect him to rush for 1,000 yards or contribute more than a few rushing touchdowns. Young should only improve when it comes to reading defenses and making quick decisions, and this should contribute to better stats as well. We project Young as the No. 24 quarterback in fantasy, on his way to around 2,400 yards and 10 touchdown passes.
