If your like me than your likely pouring over all the fantasy football info you can get your hands on right now. This may or may not help you. My WR pick for a breakout season is none other than Chiefs wideout Dwayne Bowe. He isn’t a sleeper pick or anything, so you won’t be tricking anyone come draft time. However, if you can nab him a few spots earlier than others have him, it will benefit you.
Bowe has several things going in his favor this year. The first thing is he started off the pre-season in coach Haley’s dog house and has been working his butt off trying to get out. He is more focused. There is also the 3rd year fantasy football receiver rule. This basically has been proved over time to be when receivers seem to “get it” and bust out in a big way. It surely isn’t a lock but it is more dependable than say the weather report.
Finally, I think the most important is Bowe will have Matt Cassel throwing him the football which will be an improvement over the QB carousel the Chiefs have been employing as of late. In 2007, his rookie year, Dwayne caught 70 balls for 995 yards with 5 TD’s. Last season he improved, with suspect QB play most often, and was able to catch 86 balls for 1022 yards with 7 TD’s. My prediction for the 2009 season is 95 catches, 1100 yards, and 10 TD’s. This is studly territory for a receiver and definitely someone you want to have in your starting lineup-not playing against you!
Good luck!
Studly in 2009!
