Fantasy: [2/23/09] At 6-6, 260, Brandon Pettigrew is a huge target, but he is not a fast guy. That said, because he is such a great blocker, and because he has so much pure talent and strength, the big man will likely go in the first-round in the 2009 NFL Draft. He ran a 4.85 forty at the combine, which isn’t good, but many teams are probably hoping he falls a bit due to this time. The problem is he won’t — Teams know how good Pettigrew can be.

Fantasy: [2/21/09] One word you will continue to hear when people describe James Casey is"utility back." The guy can play almost every position, even quarterback. He lines up at the running back position, as you will see in the video clip 2 highlight down below. He even played six different positions in one game. Casey had 111 receptions for 1,329 yards and 19 total TDs in 2008. In 2008 alone, Casey pulled in eight or more receptions in seven of his 12 contests, he went over 100 yards receiving six times, he had one 200-yard receiving outing and had six multiple-touchdown performances, two of which were four TD outings. This guy has an insane amount of upside and he is by far inside our top two for tight ends in this 2009 NFL Draft Class.

Fantasy: [2/21/09] Chase Coffman is a big boy at 6-6, 245 pounds… the tight end cranked out 90 receptions for 987 yards and 10TDs in 2008 and he did all that in just 11 games, as he missed two games in November. Coffman had nine or more receptions in five out of his 11 played games. That’s impressive. Put this guy in the right offense and you have a possible top ten fantasy tight end.
