Top 50 Keepers: Also receiving votes
I've spent way too much of my day preparing my annual two-part Top-50 keepers column, so let's waste more time here with players that didn't make the cut. Since I'm also including ten players who just missed in the column, these guys are outside of the top 60. The first part of the column will post tonight.
***
Santana Moss, Redskins: Even his rebound season was unsatisfying because it was so uneven.
Kurt Warner, Cardinals: He will be a much better keeper once we know if he's returning to Arizona. Beware Warner at 41 years old if he changes team.
Dallas Clark, Colts: He didn't make the cut, but he did prove that his 2007 season was not a fluke and he played 16 games for the first time. Marvin Harrison's departure will help him.
Earnest Graham, Bucs (Just missed in '08): A terrific NFL asset; but only an average fantasy asset. He'll be splitting carries with someone in '09.
Chris Cooley, Redskins: Quietly set career highs in catches and yards, but his fluky lack of touchdowns killed owners. He's in the Dallas Clark zone as a safe mid-level fantasy starter; nothing wrong with that.
Darren Sproles, Chargers: Because of his size and fumbling problems, I doubt he gets a starting job next season. Splitting carries with LT2 sounds like a best case scenario.
Derrick Ward, Giants: I expected Chester Taylor, Michael Turner, and LaMont Jordan to get starting jobs after great runs as a backup. With Ward, it would be a pleasant surprise if he got one.
Lance Moore, Saints: What was the fluke? Moore's total production or his late-season swoon? The answer, as usual, will probably lie in the middle.
Everyone stay warm in their snuggie tonight.

I'm sure many of you are like me and one of the first things you do in the morning is head here and check out the new post. Along with seeing the new posts, I'm also always checking out the blog roll rss feed and watching them grow, or shrink sometimes. In one of my past ...but all in all excellent site. Keep it up!

Hey, I really enjoy your blog. I have a blog too in a totally unrelated field (Online Stock Trading) but I like to check in here on a regular basis, just to see what's going on and it's always interesting to say the least. It's always entertaining what people have to say.
