It will be interesting to see just how skilled an Adminisrator Bill Parcells is as he will have many challenges in Miami. His first major test was the NFL Draft which most experts agree the Dolphins did fairly well. They didn’t kill, but had a good solid draft and filled many holes on the depth chart it appears. As for fantasy value on this team, unless you are in a keeper league, I would only look on the fringes for a fantasy starter. Josh McCown looks like he should start and Ted Ginn Jr. should be a primary target but its hard to predict constant numbers plus Beck and Henne will be waiting in the wings for some action. Ronnie Brown had the beginning of a fantastic season last year only to have his knee injury which now has him listed as questionable for start of training camp. Ricky Williams also is high on the depth chart, another wildcard. My advice is to try and pick up the backs late in the draft at good value and stay away from the passing game this season. It might be a long year in Miami.
