Young QB's getting long looks

Reports out of Detroit are that second-year quarterback Matthew Stafford is showing noticeable improvement. His arm strength is better, the receivers have confidence in him and he takes charge under center. If the reports are true, Stafford would make a solid back-up fantasy quarterback.

In St. Louis, rookie quarterback Sam Bradford is expected to come off the bench in his team's preseason game against the Vikings Saturday night. Bradford is expected to play with the first-team offense for at least a few snaps. Right now A.J. Feeley is the No. 1 guy for the Rams. No matter who wins the starting job by Week 1, he will have little to no fantasy value.

Things are looking up for Philadelphia quarterback Kevin Kolb. After a slow start in training camp he's starting to hook up with his receivers more consistently. Kolb is surrounded by some talented skill players and is expected to have a pretty good season. Right now he's considered a low-end starting QB in fantasy.



Former Oakland running back Justin Fargas has signed a free-agent contract with the Denver Broncos. Fargas would have to work his way up to No. 2 on the depth chart to have any fantasy value.


It appears Terrell Owens is all but a lock to win the No. 2 receiving spot in Cincinnati behind Chad Ocho Cinco. His only real competition is from free-agent signee Antonio Bryant who has been injured. There is talk the team might give Bryant an injury settlement and part ways. If Owens is the guy, he's a No. 3 or 4 fantasy receiver.
