Massaquoi a Must

Mohamed Massaquoi and the Cleveland Browns experienced a terrible offensive season last year. The plus's coming when Brady Quinn was behind the helm of the offensive line. This year Quinn is gone, as is former one-hit wonder Derek Anderson. So who's the now of the Browns?

Long time Panther and Veteran quarterback Jake Delhomme will be the starter this season with the back-up of Seneca Wallace. Delhomme has had a great pre-season and his top receiver seems poised to have a break out year.

The second year receiver out of Georgia has put his pre-season hamstring troubles behind him and is ready to go for game 1 of the regualr season. Massaquoi has played in two games this pre-season totaling 5 catches for 72 yards. After last season with inconsistant qb plays from the Browns Massaquoi tallied 34 catches for 624 yards and 3 tds in 11 games.

Massaquoi showed he has the tools to be a number one receiver in this league last season. Now with a qb who made Steve Smith a household name, the same has a good chance of happening to Mohamed.

A tough schedule to pass on due to their division teams, however games against the Jags and Falcons may lead to Massaquoi being atop the receiver charts for those given weeks.

Or-Non, Kyle is the man in Denver

After almost all of the pre-season is over now there were some bust and must for fantasy purposes, but nothing has really been said. However there have been so great outbreaks on the QB front that may turn out to pay off in some heavy fantasy gains.

Kyle Orton - Denver Broncos

Orton proved right out of the gate that he was the man in Denver. After Tebow's hype and haircut settled, the former Chicago Bear tore up all of the spectulation going 8 of 13 for 84 yards and 2 tds. Orton came back in the second preseason game going 16 for 22 for 177 and 2 tds. After throwing over 3,800 yards and topping 21 touchdowns, with a small 12 interceptions.

Passing Game

The 27 year old was inked to an extention in over the summer and is set to be the top dog this season, regardless of how much Brady Quinn or Tebow grow. The Denver offense took a big shot when they lost Brandon Marshall this offseason. Now the Broncos top receivers look to be third year man Eddie Royal and eight year veteran Brandon Lloyd.

Running Game

The big question in Denver's offense is Knowshon Moreno. Moreno only played 9 games in his rookie campaign due to injuries and started off training camp hurt. However, he did accomplish a mighty feat by leading all 2009 NFL rookies in rushing yards compilling 947, with a total of 1,160 yards from scrimmage and 9 tds. If the second year back out of Georgia Tech can stay healthy he could take a load off Orton's shoulder an be a tantalizing weapon in the pass game.

Defense Outlook

With the loss of Elvis Dummerville Denver's defense took a big shot. However a very sustainable secondary should keep the Broncos opponents down. This doesn't mean that the Broncos won't fall behind though. This means Orton should be looking downfield and firing.

Schedule Highs and Lows

Week 1: vs Jacksonville, excellent matchup for Orton. Jacksonville's pass defense was in the bottom 5 last year.
Week 2: vs Seattle is anoter favorable matchup against a young Seahawks secondary.
Weeks 3-6: All are tough teams to play against and chances are Orton will be relied on the air out against BAL, NYJ, TEN, IND.
Week 7: could be a let down versus a very less powerful Oakland squad, watch out for their tough secondary.
Week 8: vs San Fran will be a tough matchup much like the one's in weeks 3-6. Expect a low scoring game.
Weeks 10-13: vs all bad run defenses in San Diego, Kansas City twie and St. Louis. Could lead to good completion percentages but low yardage.
Week 14: vs Arizona will depend on how the QB battle in the Dessert ends up, if ARZ has no pass offense it should be competitive.
Week 15: vs Oakland again.
Week 16: vs a sub-par pass defense against the Houston Texans, could be very high scoring, however is a home game so it'll be freezing.
Week 17: vs SD another favorable matchup, their place in the standings will determine how it goes for Orton.
