We have many great articles planned leading up to the 2010 Fantasy Football season including sleepers, busts, rookies, strategy, full player rankings and projections all wrapped up into a nifty draft kit to help you win your league next year. Stay tuned for more, but for now, here's a team preview for you.

OFF-SEASON TRANSACTIONS

KEY ADDS

  • Bell, Mike (NO)

KEY SUBTRACTIONS

  • McNabb, Donovan (WAS)
  • Westbrook, Brian (SF)

NOTE: Philly felt that they saw enough from Kolb when McNabb was hurt last year. They also felt that Westbrook was too often injured, and McCoy, Bell, and Weaver could hold down the fort in the backfield.

 

THE BIG QUESTION

How will the team adjust without McNabb and Westbrook?

Kolb is no McNabb, and McCoy is no Westbrook, but Coach Andy Reid has a nice offense in place. It's certainly a pass-first team, which will help Kolb. He doesn't have the arm that McNabb had, but he should be able to connect often on short passes, which will help tight end Brent Celek and McCoy out of the backfield. It could hurt the numbers of DeSean Jackson a bit, but he'll still get his, albeit a bit more inconsistently. McCoy might not gain a whole bunch of yards on the ground. He also may lose touchdowns to Bell. We don't like where he's being drafted, but when all is said and done, he should have a decent year. The defense is solid, so there should be several games where he runs often in the second half to run out the clock.

 

FANTASY DEPTH CHART

QB

  • Kolb, Kevin
  • Vick, Michael
  • Kafka, Mike

RB

  • McCoy, LeSean
  • Bell, Mike
  • Weaver, Leonard

 WR

  • Jackson, DeSean
  • Maclin, Jeremy
  • Avany, Jason
  • Baskett, Hank

 TE

  • Celek, Brent
  • Harbor, Clay

NOTE: Vick should fill in decently, should anything happen to Kolb. All other positions are pretty well settled. Akers is an excellent kicker, and the D/ST unit is one of the best.
