McNabb has made Reggie Brown and Freddie Mitchell appear to be respectable, so I don't doubt he can make Devin Thomas into a better receiver than he's been.
McNabb is much better than Jason Campbell, so strides will be made.
That also should mean the inconsistent S Moss has a solid season, though, too.
But my favorite guy to watch this year (besides a revitalized C Portis) is Chris Cooley. He was having a solid 2009 til he busted up his foot, and we all should know all too well how much McNabb LOVES his tight ends.

I did the same thing in '99, took late round flyers on Johnson, Westbrook, and Davis. I easily cruised through that league. I also took a chance on a rookie RB that year that paid off big, Edgerrin James.
Damn, you had James also? You definitely cruised that year Matty. I will acquire DT or MK, but only after weeks 4 to 5 just to see if they have indeed improved and have picked up on Kyle's system, which to me is more akin to Norv's than Coach Gibbs'. Could be rather a fun team to watch if we do get some positive answers from our young Wr corp!!!!!!!

Both are definitely wait-and-see guys...they could be massive busts or they could be waiver wire gold.

69, I wouldn't even draft them at all. At best they are maybe mid season waiver wire pickups. Week 4 at the very earliest, and that is if they really do break out, which is a 50/50 proposition.

I wouldn't draft him for fantasy at all, but he is a wait and see guy to pick up on waivers by say week 4. The reason I say that is every preseason rag like Athlon's, S@S, etc said the same things about Devin last season. I know we have McNabb now, but I still would be wary about drafting Thomas or picking him up later on waivers til he has proven himself to be worthy of being even a fantasy backup.
He's not going to be there with the articles being written about him, he'll be a popular last-round gamble.

I am in 3 leagues including my own and nobody drafted him. Most of the folks in my league ofcourse are Skins fans and they aren't going to bite on him yet. I assume if he goes gangbusters vs Dallas he will be hot on the waivers list, but not until then.

I will pick up AA if he shows any life tonight. I need a reliable backup WR in two of my leagues.
