Indianapolis Colts
Predicted Record: 11-5
Playoff Seed: 3
Key Player: Running Back, Whether it be Dominic Rhodes or Joseph Addai, someone needs to step up and give the Colts solid production to balance their potent passing attack. If neither can step up then even more pressure will be placed on the shoulders of Peyton, and will give him even more of an opportunity to choke in the playoffs.
Fantasy Player to Eye: Marvin Harrison, Due to the uncertainty at the running back position I believe you will see a reemergence of Marvin Harrison as a top 5 WR with more touchdowns and yards than last season.
Why the Record: The dropoff at running back will cause the Colts to drop a few more games than last season and force them to not have a first round bye.
Projected Wins: HOU, JAX, @NYJ, TEN, WAS, BUF, PHI, @TEN, @JAX, CIN, @HOU
Projected Losses: @NYG, @DEN, @NE, @DAL, MIA
Jacksonville Jaguars
Predicted Record: 9-7
Key Player: Fred Taylor, Feerless Fred, I mean Fragile Fred, better stay healthy for the Jaguars this season now that his backup Greg Jones is out for the season. The next in line option is Alvin Pearmen, hands up if you trust him as a workhorse back, ya didnt think so.
Fantasy Player to Eye: Matt Jones & Ernest Wilford, Both of these guys are large targets at the goal line, one of them will emerge as a viable week to week receiver, its just a matter of sorting out which one is going to become Byron's favorite.
Why the Record: The Jaguars will have another solid season, mostly due to their improved defense and currently healthy Leftwich and Taylor, however they do not have enough offensive firepower to make a playoff run.
Projected Wins: DAL, PIT, @WAS, NYJ, TEN, HOU, NYG, @TEN, @KC
Projected Losses: @IND, @HOU, @PHI, @BUF, @MIA, IND, NE
Tennesse Titans
Predicted Record: 5-11
Key Player: Jeff Fischer, The Head Coach has yet to decide who is going to be his starting QB or starting RB, how are they going to have a key player if no plays every week.
Fantasy Player to Eye: Ben Troupe, Wow the Titans roster is terrible, Troupe appears to be the surefire starter at Tight End, so he may be worth a late round selection as a sleeper tight end, if you didnt draft a surefire guy like Gates, Shockey or ToGo.
Why the Record: They still haven't decided on a Quarterback or a Runningback does that sound like a team that's going to be better than 5-11, certainly not.
Projected Wins: DAL, HOU, @PHI, @HOU, @BUF
Projected Losses: NYJ, @SD, @MIA, @IND, @WAS, @JAX, BAL, NYG, IND, JAX, NE
Houston Texans
Predicted Record: 5-11
Key Player: Offensive Line, They've been terrible basically since the inseption of the Texans franchise. Now there may be more pressure than ever with no running back and David Carr really having one last shot to show he was worth the #1 pick for the Texans.
Fantasy Player to Eye: Andre Johnson, Johnson had a drop off in 2005 and I expect him to bounce back and improve his numbers to similar to the 2004 season.
Why the Record: No running back, limited improvement of the offensive line, means once again David Carr will be sucking down painkillers trying to stop his head from spinning and seeing Tweetie Birds.
Projected Wins: PHI, WAS, MIA, JAX, CLE
Projected Losses: @IND, @DAL, @TEN, @NYG, @JAX, BUF, @NYJ, @OAK, TEN, @NE, IND
