Brad Cottam - be on the look out for this guy as a potential late round fantasy sleeper. The Chiefs are gonna run a lot of 2-TE sets and expect this guy to become very, very involved. I wouldn't start him every week, but I think he could be good for 400-500 yards and 5 or 6 TDs, which is pretty good for a TE, especially a backup TE on your fantasy team.

Jamaal Charles - A good RB option if you're looking for yards, but not TDs. I expect him to see a good 10-15 touches a game, with a few of those touches being in the passing game. And he's going to extremely effective in his touches. LJ wears the D down and Charles is lightning fast and, by the way, tailor-made for Chan Gailey's zone offense, which is similar to Denver's zone blocking scheme.
I can't wait to watch JC this year for KC Chiefzilla. I hope they get him the ball a lot on pass plays. I saw them go to JC on two pass plays in his first pre season game which was a good sign. I read that Croyle and Herm said that he was the fastest player they had ever seen on a football field.

As for rookies that I've noticed, Matt Forte looked like he had a nice presence with the ball. The Bears weren't opening up a lot of big holes, but he looked like a pretty tough runner.

Chris Johnson looks like he is going to be one hell of a play maker for the Titans. The guy hits the hole like a bullet.

I liked what I saw of Mcfadden in his first game. He was hitting the hole and getting what was there instead of dancing around more like Bush likes to do.

Ray Rice definitely impressed me. He was ran the ball with a lot of power sort of like Jones Drew. I think he's going to help the Ravens out a lot this year. McGhee better hurry up and get back on the field.

Royal for the Broncos showed that he's got some pretty good hands. Now I can see why some of these Broncos members in here have been talking about him.
