Shockey a Saint - What's the Fantasy Impact?

Shockey A Saint - What's The Fantasy Impact?

Article from: Ultimate FF Strategy

Jeremy Shockey was traded to the New Orleans Saints for second and fifth round draft picks in 2009. In New Orleans, Shockey will reunite with Sean Payton who was his offensive coordinator with the Giants in 2002 when Shockey had the best season of his career in his rookie year. This trade is not only important because a very talented player has been traded to a team that will allow him to shine but also because Shockey is known as an excellent run blocker and will impact the rest of the offense. The following article will analyze the fantasy impact that this trade will have for players on both teams.

Jeremy Shockey:
In six seasons in the NFL, Shockey has always been among the top ten tight ends in a point per reception scoring system despite missing 13 games and playing through injuries for most of his career. Shockey will also have Pro Bowler Drew Brees as his quarterback who loved throwing to tight end Antonio Gates in San Diego. In the past three seasons, Shockey has averaged 68 receptions for 775 yards and 6 touchdowns over a 16 game season and now moves to a team where he will be in a much better situation. Last season the Saints tight ends Eric Johnson and Billy Miller combined for 75 receptions for 700 yards and 4 touchdowns. Shockey is much more talented than these two players and could be looking at 80 receptions for 900 yards and 5 touchdowns this season with his new team. These are similar numbers that he had in his first two NFL seasons before Coughlin took over as head coach in 2004 and there is no reason why Shockey cannot return to that kind of production.
