Fantasy Football Search 2010 Sleeper: Brandon Jacobs

Player: Brandon Jacobs
Team: New York Giants
Position: RB

Nobody is more disappointed in his 2009 performance than Brandon Jacobs.  After being a second round draft pick in most fantasy drafts, Jacobs put up dismal numbers.  With only 835 rushing yards and five TDs, you might not believe in the hard hitting runningback.  Also throw in the threat of Ahmad Bradshaw and there is even more to worry about.  Let's note first that Jacobs was hurt most of last season and played hurt. He enters the 2010 season healthy and with much more vigor then he did in 2009.  The Giants plan to use their two back tandem more effectively and with a healthy Jacobs pound it in at the goal line. 

Also, Jacobs with have a more experienced offensive line and a far more gelled passing game to support him against rival defenses.  Jacobs will emerge this year as the top running back in the NFC East.  As long as he stays healthy, he should put up excellent numbers for the NY Giants and get back to the dominance we all saw in 2008.

2010 Projections: 1254 total yards, 22 receptions, 14 Total TDs.
