AFC South

Colts

Peyton Manning (Choose ’em) This guy is the definition of consistent. You can’t really go wrong when picking Peyton Manning. He’s as much of a sure thing as you can get.

Joseph Addai (Lose ‘em) Coming off an injury riddled season, Addai is a risky pick. Donald Brown doesn’t make things any easier either. 

Donald Brown (Choose ‘em) Don’t take this guy too high, but he has a lot of upside. Historically, young backs do well with Peyton Manning, and I don’t see any reason why Donald Brown should be any different.

Reggie Wayne (Choose ‘em) Peyton Manning’s number one receiver. Any questions?

Anthony Gonzalez (Lose ‘em) This receiver is getting a lot of buzz among the league, but I am not buying it. He is good, but not great. Manning will make him all that he is, which is good, but you can find better. Remember, there is only one ball to go around in Indy.

Dallas Clark (Choose ‘em) A matchup nightmare from the tight end position. He plays more like a receiver, which means continued success for this versatile target. 

Adam Vinatieri (Lose ‘em) He should get opportunities to kick, but he is not the same guy he was in New England. He has declined as of late, and there enough kickers that you can get before him to pass up on him.

IND D (Lose ‘em) With defensive-minded Jim Caldwell being the Head Coach, the Colts D should improve this season, but the injury concerns of Bob Sanders has me skeptical. He is their leader, and he needs to be 100% for them to be a feared and worthy D.


Titans

Kerry Collins (Lose ‘em) This team is a run first offense. Collins will manage the game, which means not too many interceptions. It also means few yards and touchdowns.

Chris Johnson (Choose ‘em) This guy is a speedster with quick decision making. Should have another monster season as long as Collins remains the quarterback.

Lendale White (Choose ‘em) He has slimmed down 30 pounds, which means he is serious about securing a role on this team. With them running the ball so much, there is no doubt he will see the end zone a ton.

Justin Gage (Lose ‘em) He has some talent, but he has no stand out quality. A very average receiver who will see a limited amount of throws.

Nate Washington (Choose ‘em) He has deep threat potential, and he is the kind of guy who can thrive in this kind of offense. Collins will take his occasional deep shots down the field, which means Nate will probably be on the other end.

Bo Scaife (Lose ‘em) Has nice athleticism for a big guy, but not yet a top tight end in this league. A good option as a backup.
Rob Bironas (Choose ‘em) This team frequently stalls on the opponent’s side of the field, which means a lot of attempts for this guy. Has a great leg, and he connects from 50+ with the best of them.

TEN D (Choose ‘em) Although they lost Haynesworth in the offseason, team will still be very good. They will not give up many points, and they will score their share of defensive touchdowns.


Jaguars

David Garrard (Lose ‘em) With a weak receiving crew, he is not going to have many options to throw to. Plus with MJD in the mix, they will probably focus on the ground game a little bit more.

Maurice Jones-Drew (Choose ‘em) A versatile back that can go for six on any given play. With a weak passing game and the departure of Fred Taylor, this should open up a ton of opportunities for MJD.

Torry Holt (Lose ‘em) This guy will be Garrard’s number one guy, but that isn’t saying too much. Holt is not even a shadow of his old self, and he will struggle with the lack of a real number two on the opposite side.

Marcedes Lewis (Lose ‘em) This tight end will be much improved this season. He has all the tools to have a really nice season for the Jags, but there are too many good tight ends in the league to warrant picking him for your team. 

Josh Scobee (Choose ‘em) A very accurate kicker with a strong leg. One of the better players on this team.

JAX D (Lose ‘em) This defense used to be good, but they have lost a lot of players. This defense has become too young to seriously consider taking them.


Texans

Matt Schaub (Lose ‘em) He just cannot seem to stay healthy, and that is never a good thing for a quarterback. He will have good games, when he plays, but if he gets injured that can really disrupt his flow.

Steve Slaton (Choose ‘em) Great hands, great speed, and can run between the tackles. Check.

Andre Johnson (Choose ‘em) He is always good for at least 90 catches, and he should have more than 7 tds. A top flight receiver who will leave defenders shaking their heads.

Kevin Walter (Choose ‘em) He peaked last season, and I don‘t see him putting up those same numbers again. Nonetheless, he is opposite Andre Johnson, which should mean another very good season for no. 83. 

Owen Daniels (Choose ‘em) Great athleticism from the tight end position. Should put up more touchdowns this season, and he will be a real weapon for Houston.

Kris Brown (Lose ‘em) Veteran kicker who will make most of his kicks. There are better options though.

HOU D (Choose ‘em) They will be surprisingly good this season. They have a great player on all three levels, and they should finally put it all together this year.
