Fantasy Football 2006: Draft Tip #9

The Comeback Kids.

First, thanks to Rocket Man for holding down the fort while I was gone.

Now, let's get down to business. Who are my top choices for comeback players of the year? First of all, let's realize that predicting comeback players is rather much like picking a dress for your wife to wear to a party. Whatever choice you make will inevitably be wrong, but you still have to try.

So here we go, position-by-position.

K:

• Best guess at this position will be David Akers (PHI) and John Hall (WAS). Both suffered injuries last year that cut down their production. Expect the Philly offense to give Akers lots of chances. Be a little more cautious with Hall.

TE:

• As much as I have virtually no love for anything involving the eweniversity of Miami, I have to go with Kellen Winslow Jr. (CLE). IF the Brown's own "mouth of the south" has finally grown up enough to talk and act responsibly and IF he stays healthy, he could finally demonstrate all that talent he has wasted so far.

WR:

• mmm, let's see, how about.... Issac Bruce? .... No! Maybe Muhsin Muhammad? .... Not gonna happen. Javon Walker? .... Gettin' Close. Darrel Jackson? .... Almost There. Yep, it's gotta be, the one, the only, the now happy in Dallas, TO.

QB:

• My mind says Donovan McNabb, but my heart says Brett Favre.

RB:

• I'll climb farther out on the already shaky prediction limb and go with Curtis Martin. He just works too hard to not be good.

Remember, if you decide to take a chance on these guys and they fail, you've been warned. If, however, they do great, well, you heard it here first.
