I have made quite the big deal out of this dead period between the last of the mini camps and training camp. I have lamented the stillness of the news cycle (though that was broken yesterday, but more on that tomorrow), and I have complained greatly about the lack of news to report. However, I must apologize for allowing myself to forget one of the most important parts of any true fan’s football season. I totally and completely blanked on fantasy football. And for that, I must sincerely offer an apology, along with this ESPN.com Patriots training camp fantasy preview.
As someone who owned both Randy Moss and Tom Brady in my league last year, i can tell you that the Patriots are a great team in fantasy football as well as in the real world. However, this article places the majority of the focus on running backs. And as someone who owned Laurence Maroney last year, I can tell you they’re exactly right. No one is stealing Brady or Moss anymore. That just isn’t going to happen this season. But Laurence Maroney is a dark horse, and how he does in camp will go a long way toward determining his fantasy draft value.
