Fantasy Nightmare Brewing in Bears Country

It’s only March and already the impending Fantasy Football season has been dealt a serious blow. Just days after inking Chester Taylor to a four-year deal, overrated Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz has declared he has not one, but two starting running backs:

“We have two starters,” Martz told Chicagobears.com… They will share carries.”

They being Taylor and last year’s fantasy bust Matt Forte. Ugh. Thanks Mike. Way to further dilute the NFL running back rankings by using the dreaded committee approach.

Aging Running Backs In Low Demand

The first three days of NFL free agency had plenty of big name players on the move. None of those names included guys who play running back. Unless you consider Chester Taylor a star, but I would imagine most people don’t. It’s little surprise, but backs over 30 aren’t seen as sound investments for owners and GMs.

Brian Westbrook, LaDainian Tomlinson and Thomas Jones all dominated the last decade. That was then. Now, all three are on the wrong side of 30 in search of new digs. After suffering through various injuries and logging over 6300 carries between them, this once great trio of runners are no longer viable options for most teams.

Free Agency Day One Recap

So much for 2010 NFL free agency being quiet. Once midnight struck last night, the deals and rumors began to swirl like one of those tornadoes in the movie Twister. So, who went where and for how much? Let’s take a look, shall we.

The Bears are players – A six-year, $72 million contract for Julius Peppers and 4-years, $12.5 million for running back Chester Taylor. They overpaid for both, but they need the help. Thus far, they are the Redskins of of this free agency.
