The top 50 keeper league players

With the 2007 fantasy football season behind us, keeper leaguers should be looking ahead to 2008. It’s clear (to me, anyway) that LaDainian Tomlinson is still the best bet in football, but plenty of fresh faces litter my list of the top 50 keeper league players, including Adrian Peterson and Braylon Edwards.

Take a look and tell me what you think.

Blazers’ streak ends at 13

Don’t look now, but the Greg Oden-less Portland Trailblazers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Though their 13-game winning streak ended last night against the Jazz, the streak contained several nice wins: Utah (twice), Golden State, Toronto, New Orleans and Denver.

Brandon Roy is playing at an All-Star level, averaging 19.2 points, 5.6 assists and 4.6 rebounds per game. LaMarcus Aldridge is chipping in with 17.5 points and 7.4 rebounds. After that, the team has six players averaging 7.3 points per game or more, so the Blazers are winning utilizing a team concept.

If Oden is as good as advertised, the Blazers are going to be very good for a very long time.

Romeo Crennel is clearly confused

The Cleveland Browns will entertain offers for restricted quarterback Derek Anderson. Just ask head coach Romeo Crennel.

“If anybody is interested in him, we’ll just have to see how it goes,” Browns head coach Romeo Crennel said. “Sometimes people can make you an offer and you can say, ‘No, I think I’m going to stay with what I got.’ Sometimes they make you an offer and you say, ‘Oooohhh.”‘

“I’ll listen, but I don’t have to do anything,” Crennel said, according to the Plain Dealer. “We’re going to do what we think is best to improve the team. As we evaluate it over the next week, we’ll decide what that will be. To this point, nobody’s made an offer.”

You’ll listen, but don’t have to do anything? Uh, you’re not the general manager, Romeo. That title belongs to Phil Savage, so it might be wise to allow him to listen to offers and you do the coaching. The Browns go 10-6 and all of a sudden Romeo thinks he’s Ron Wolf.
