2009 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

There is scant new territory to discover when it comes to Donovan McNabb, NFL Quarterback, one of the most talked about players of his era. In between all the headlines, McNabb managed to produce one of his better seasons, passing for a career-high 3,916 yards while throwing 23 touchdowns (the first time he tossed for at least 20 scores since 2004). There is no doubt that he will be one of the top QB's selected in fantasy drafts this season and the Eagles have rebuilt their offensive line and added rookie receiver Jeremy Maclin to the mix. However, McNabb is as also as streaky as they come; he threw 10 combined touchdowns in three games, but was shutout in four games and threw for only one touchdown in five others. There are also historical reasons why it might not be a bad year to let someone else go along for the ride. Three times in his career McNabb has thrown over 3,000 yards in consecutive seasons (including the last two), averaging 22.5 touchdowns along the way. Nevertheless, in that subsequent third season, injuries limited him to an average 9.5 games, 2,398 yards and 16.5 touchdown passes. McNabb is healthy entering training camp and good vibes are emanating from Eagle-land following last season's championship game run; so be cautious, but do not let him slide too far in fantasy drafts either. Then again, do not expect him to exceed or perhaps even match his '08 numbers either.
