Welcome to the final Fantasy Football Friday article of the 2009 season. Hopefully you'll be participating in some type of Fantasy Playoff league. It's really another great way to keep the fantasy football season going. Unfortunately, that is not what this article is about. This is a time to reflect on the best and worst of the 2009 fantasy season.
2009 Fantasy Football Player of the Year:
Chris Johnson - RB Tennessee Titans. Johnson was an absolute beast in fantasy football this year, especially if you played in a PPR (points per reception) league. In my PPR, Yahoo league he amassed a whopping 327 fantasy points. That is 36 more fantasy points than the 2nd overall scorer. It helps when you run for over 2,000 yards, have 50 catches for 503 yards, and 16 total touchdowns. He is hands down the #1 overall pick for the 2010 season.
2009 All Pro Fantasy Football Team:
QB - Aaron Rodgers
RB - Chris Johnson
RB - Maurice Jones Drew
WR - Andre Johnson
WR - Wes Welker
WR - Randy Moss
TE - Dallas Clark
K- Nate Kaeding
DEF - Eagles
If you look at this list, the only player that might be a surprise is Wes Welker. I have him on this list based on a PPR league, the fact that he was missed 2 games, and busted his knee and missed most of a 3rd game. Even with that, he still wracked up 123 catches on the year.
2009 Best Value Team:
QB - Matt Schaub
RB - Ray Rice
RB - Ricky Williams
WR - Miles Austin
WR - Sydney Rice
WR - Steve Smith (NYG)
TE - Vernon Davis
K - Dan Carpenter
DEF - Saints
Several of these players busted onto the scene this season. Ray Rice is a force for the Ravens, Miles Austin was one of the best steals of the season, and Sydney Rice & Vernon Davis finally played like the first round picks they were.
2009 Worst Value Team:
QB - Jay Cutler
RB - Steve Slaton
RB - Matt Forte
WR - Calvin Johnson
WR - TJ Houshmandzedah
WR - Dwayne Bowe
TE - Tony Gonzalez
K - Nick Folk
DEF - Giants
It's no secret that I hate, yest hate, Jay Cutler. It was a disastrous first season for him in Chicago. Steve Slaton and Matt Forte were predicted 1st round fantasy picks, and Forte was a top 5 in most leagues. They both suffered from the sophomore slump. Slaton had real problems even before he got hurt. 57 receptions basically saved Forte's fantasy season for many owners.
Well, I hope everyone had a fun year. I can't wait to get back at it next season.
