LeSean McCoy Heads List of 'Other' Fantasy Relevant Players

We've already given a single post to each of the seemingly most relevant fantasy football impact players from the NFL Draft -- we say seemingly because bust-hood is always a possibility in this business -- but those are by no means the only players who might matter in this coming season. With that in mind, here are the rest of the guys who's impact will be felt:

LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles (Round 2): If you end up with Brian Westbrook, you absolutely must have McCoy. The shifty stud from Pittsburgh is exactly the type of back Westbrook is, which means he can thrive in this offense.

Obviously, you can't expect McCoy to be Westbrook immediately, if ever, but he's got the physical ability to have a few significant fantasy games. As an illustration, Westbrook pretty much always misses time during the season. It's as much a given as some sort of a T.O. meltdown. Last season, Correll Buckhalter -- physically less gifted than McCoy -- had four big fantasy weeks, one of which was huge (178 total yards and a score).

If you don't get Westbrook and are looking for running back depth (RB4-range), it can't hurt to "cuff-block" (steal the Westbrook owner's handcuff) with a McCoy selection. A little draft day drama adds to the fun of the league anyway.

Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Lions (Round 1): Down the road he'll develop into a nice option, but it's hard to imagine a tight end finding huge success in Detroit for this coming season. Look at him as a low-end TE2 for now. He'll be a TE1 quite soon, so keeper league players take note.

Brian Robiskie, WR, Browns (Round 2)/Mohamed Massaquoi, WR, Browns (Round 2): For now, we'll have to wait and see what the Browns do with Braylon Edwards. It appears they will trade him, and, if they do, both receivers will see plenty of playing time.

Pat White, Wildcat Participant, Dolphins (Round 2): This might be the most intriguing pick of the draft. White can run, pass and receive. The way the Dolphins use their personnel on offense, you could make the argument White has the potential to become one of the league's most exciting players. If you play in a larger league (14-16 teams) with a deep roster, it wouldn't hurt to take a last round flier on White. The odds are that he'll be a much more exciting real-life option than fantasy commodity, though.

Shonn Green, RB, Jets (Round 3): Well, here's Thomas Jones' replacement. It's probably not going to happen this season, but he will find his fair share of between-the-tackles work. If Jones leaves (unlikely) or gets hurt for a stretch, Green will probably form an inside-outside duo with Leon Washington. He can leave him undrafted or look at him toward the end of deeper drafts -- assuming Jones sticks around for this season.

Derrick Williams, WR, Lions (Round 3): He'll help the Lions in the slot and in the return game. For this year, it's hard to see Williams having a huge fantasy impact considering the Lions also added Bryant Johnson and Ronald Curry to the receiving corps. The real hope is for him to show enough big play potential to draw some defense off Calvin Johnson. Ignore initially, and watch his progress.

Mike Wallace, WR, Steelers (Round 3): He could slip right into the dearly departed Nate Washington's role. The only issue is if the development of Limas Sweed clouds matters on how the Steelers' offense is shaped. Ignore intially, and watch his progress.

Jared Cook, TE, Titans (Round 3): He's a freakishly talented pass-catching threat. Assuming he develops as the Titans would hope, Bo Scaife will be shown the door after 2009. Heading into this season, Cook won't be worth drafting in normal-sized leagues, but he's definitely one to watch. Remember the name.

Chase Coffman, TE, Bengals Round 3): The only reason his stock knocked him down to the third round was because he's been injured recently and scouts grew worried about his lack of quick recovery time. Assuming he can get healthy before the season begins, he'll start getting playing time in Cincy immediately. Draft him as a TE2 and watch his growth. You could be using him weekly be season's end.

Juaqiun Iglesias, WR, Bears (Round 3): Well, everyone has been harping on the whole who is Jay Cutler going to throw to? riff. It looks like the Bears are going to provide him with Devin Hester, Earl Bennett and Iglesias. Hardly a murderer's row of receving talent. Still, Cutler made non-first-rounders into stars in Denver (Brandon Marshall was a 4th-rounder and Eddie Royal went in the 2nd), so Iglesias is worth a late-round pick in deep leagues.

Louis Murphy, WR, Raiders (Round 4): Shocking the Raiders drafted him, considering his blazing (4.32 40) speed. He gives them another player who can stretch the field, and that should help the development of rocket-armed JaMarcus Russell. Murphy shouldn't be drafted in fantasy leagues, though. Just monitor his growth as it pertains to Russell, Darren McFadden and Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Shawn Nelson, TE, Bills (Round 4): He's probably going to start immediately, but the Bills have Lee Evans and Terrell Owens on the outside, in addition to leaning some on the run game. He'll be used over the middle to take attention away from the outside guys, but won't get enough targets to warrant use in most leagues. Ignore, but track progress.

Austin Collie, WR, Colts (Round 4): Really only relevant because the Colts didn't fill the need at WR until here. Marvin Harrison is gone, and Anthony Gonzalez will probably have to slide outside now. The Colts use three receiver sets quite frequently. I've seen some scouts compare him to Brandon Stokley, who had good fantasy value with the Colts. A last round flier as a WR5 is reasonable.

Nate Davis, QB, Niners (Round 5): There are two ways to take this pick. The first is that the Niners haven't totally given up on Alex Smith, otherwise they would have gone after one of the first-round quarterbacks. The other is that Davis has enough upside that he can eventually take the torch from Shawn Hill while Smith wastes away on the bench. They do have some solid receivers, so the winner of the job (probably Hill) out of camp is worth a low-end QB2 selection. Davis should be ignored in all formats.

Tom Brandstater, QB, Broncos (Round 6): He's relevant because he's the first quarterback the Broncos drafted. Translation: Kyle Orton is their man -- at least until next year when they use one of their two first-rounders on a QB after finding out he's not very good.

Bernard Scott, RB, Bengals (Round 6): His rap-sheet probably makes PacMan Jones jealous, but there's a reason Scott won't go away. He's insanely talented. The Bengals running back situation isn't exactly stellar -- unless you, unlike me, really believe in Cedric Benson -- so it's possible he emerges "unexpectedly" sometime during the season. He's definitely not worth drafting in any format, but we're just listing him so you'll remember the name. It might matter at some point -- even if just in a police blotter.
