Packer/Viking Tidbits..

[Down to Earth]

Bit of info I came across today while looking through my FF stuff.

Green Bay Packers

Moving Up: Terrance Murphy, WR - Murphy was the anti- Mark Bradley this summer. Considered a surprise pick in the second round, Murphy has turned heads with a great mini-camp season at wide receiver. The Packers think they have a keeper, which will help them in leverage against Javon Walker.

Also Moving: Robert Ferguson, WR - Ferguson can’t stay healthy, but every week Javon Walker holds out is a good week for his chances to start.

Moving Down: Aaron Rodgers, QB - Known for his overwhelming confidence, this rookie first-rounder has been humbled in his transition to the pros. “Something is causing him to have his ball sail,'' offensive coordinator Tom Rossley said of Rodgers. ''He's high on all of his throws… The one thing we didn't see is the accuracy that we all saw in college.”

It looks like Craig Nall will hold on to the backup quarterback job behind Brett Favre for another season.

Also Moving: Javon Walker, WR: We don’t see the Packers budging on this holdout. If Walker is prideful and skips camp, it could cost him a starting job to open the season.

Minnesota Vikings

Moving Up: Michael Bennett, RB - Bennett is the winner of the dreaded “Best Shape of his Career,” award, winning the tag from every teammate, coach, and ballboy who saw him run this off-season. The Olympic-quality track speed is back. So is his starting job. The only question is whether Bennett can last more than two weeks while playing actual, you know, football.

Moving Down: Troy Williamson, WR - The Vikings are bringing Williamson along at a glacial pace. In lieu of practicing with the rest of the team, the Vikings had Williamson working out on his own with a position coach. When he joined his teammates, he reportedly dropped a lot of easy balls. Williamson looks like one of the most overrated fantasy assets this season. He’s being drafted as a WR4 on fantasy teams, but may not climb above the fourth receiver on his own team.

I know what you're talking about.....I'm getting anxious for FFB to start also. I won my league last year handily (lost twice) and hope to have a good draft once again!
