It’s starting to get to be that slow time of the offseason, so there’s no better time for die-hard Fantasy Football players to start dusting off last year’s mock drafts and 2009 stat sheets to start figuring out who the stars of the 2010 season will be.  NFL.com’s Michael Fabiano posted his list of breakout stars and first on their list was Chicago Bears QB Jay Cutler.  Let’s see what he had to say:

Jay Cutler, QB, Bears

Cutler isn’t a traditional breakout candidate, as he actually broke out in 2008 before seeing a major decrease in fantasy production last season. His numbers should rise again, however, as Cutler will now hold the reins of an offense led by pass-happy coordinator Mike Martz. In fact, the strong-armed quarterback from Vanderbilt should throw for 4,000-plus yards and finish with around 25-30 total touchdowns.

Others on Fabiano’s list include running backs Cedric Benson, Jamaal Charles, Shonn Greene, Leshon McCoy, Rashard Mendenhall and Knowshon Moreno.  His potential breakout wide receivers include Vincent and DeSean Jackson and Green Bay tight end Jermichael Finley.

I don’t know how serious you are about Fantasy Football, but none of those guys should really be sneaking up on anyone as big surprises for the upcoming season.  (more…)
