There were plenty of highlights in the 2005 NFL Season. There was Shaun Alexander's record-setting season, the Indianapolis Colts' regular season dominance, the Houston Texans' regular season incompetence, the Pittsburgh Steelers' run through the playoffs, Larry Johnson's ridiculous second half, Chicago's dominating defense, Cincinnati's resurgence, New England's playoff failures, and the exhilirating Steelers-Colts playoff game, to name a few. But no highlight was more satisfying in my opinion than the Redskins sweeping the Cowboys. Those two Mark Brunell-Santana Moss bombs in the late fourth quarter of that Week 2 game may have been two of the top sports moments of my life. Then, there was Week 15, a game I watched live while studying for finals. Although Chris Cooley's 3 TD game knocked me out of the playoffs, I watched in joy as Washington kicked the living crap out of the Cowboys. Nothing made me happier to see the Redskins clinch a playoff spot with a late-season push at the same time the Cowboys limped down the stretch to fall out of the playoffs.

Now that you know my bias, let's fantasy preview the Cowboys, who figure to have a multitude of fantasy studs this season.

Last year's fantasy rankings, curtesy Yahoo! (positional, overall)

QB: Drew Bledsoe (8, 15)
WR: Terry Glenn (11, 45)
TE: Jason Witten (5, 70)
RB: Julius Jones (22, 83)
RB: Marion Barber (33, 133)
DEF: Dallas DEF (15, 201)
WR: Patrick Crayton (79, 260)

Newcomers:
K: Mike Vanderjagt (7, 86)
WR: Terrell Owens (30, 87)

Departures:
WR: Keyshawn Johnson (31. 107)
K: Billy Cundiff (31, 1693)

Rookies:
TE: Anthony Fasano
WR: Skyler Green

No team presents a bigger fantasy celing or a bigger fantasy floor than the Dallas Cowboys. Potentially, this offense could be as dynamic as the Colts. If Terrell Owens' head is screwed on straight, if Julius Jones can avoid the nagging injuries that have killed him the past two years, and if Drew Bledsoe can be efficient and effective behind an aging offensive line, the Cowboys offense will be absolute dynamite. With those three, Terry Glenn, Jason Witten, and new kicker Mike Vanderjagt, the Cowboys will score plenty of points and have lots of fantasy studs. But if Owens starts whining, Jones keeps getting hurt, and Bledsoe is this year's Kerry Collins, Dallas may be a fantasy graveland. More incredibly, the said celing and floor are legitimate possibilities.

One thing we can probably assume is that, as long as Terrell Owens is in the lineup, Drew Bledsoe will be a top fantasy quarterback. Owens has already made fantasy studs out of Jeff Garcia and Donovan McNabb in his career. Without Owens, Garcia went from a fantasy starter to a backup, while McNabb went from an overrated fantasy performer to a top 5 QB in 04. Bledsoe is old, but unlike Kerry Collins last season, he has a coach that knows him, a history of solid regular-season production, and a solid running game. I expect his touchdowns and yards to skyrocket this season if he can stay healthy.

As for T.O., your guess is obviously as good as mine at this point. A personality as volitale as T.O.'s is impossible to predict. However, Owens' history indicates that he will be a model citizen this year. In San Francisco, Owens was not a distraction in his first big year in 2000. Owens and Garcia got along fine even while the team finished 6-10. In 2001, Owens had an even bigger season, and there was still very little tension. It was only in Owens' last season, 2003, that he became a real cancer. After the tumultuous 2004 offseason, Owens was a model citizen in Philadelphia in his first season. There were a couple minor skirmishes, but for the most part, Owens did his job and made that team better without complaining. It was only after his heroic Super Bowl effort and the ensuing offseason holdout that kicked off last season's antics. My point is that Owens has historically had a "honeymoon" period before going crazy. With a legendary coach in Bill Parcells to keep him in check, I don't think we're going to see T.O. de-activated this season.

This year is also a key year for Julius Jones. The durability issues are a bit of a concern, but those types of nagging injuries often go away. As long as Bill Parcells is committed to the run, Jones should get the majority of the carries. Marion Barber did show a lot of promise filling in for Jones, but I don't see Barber as an every-down back. Most people are talking about Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams, or Steven Jackson as this year's breakout backs, but don't forget about Jones come draft day.

Finally, keep an eye on the Dallas defense as a potential late-round sleeper. The Cowboys had a very young defensive unit last year, but still ended up in the middle of the pack, ranking 15th. They spent a lot of money to upgrade the unit, signing three key free agents in Akin Ayodele, Rocky Bolman, and Marcus Coleman while drafting Bobby Carpenter and Jason Hatcher. The Cowboys could be a potential force in their second year in the 3-4.

Stock Report

BUY:

Drew Bledsoe: Anytime you add one of the best receivers in NFL history, it will benefit the quarterback. Bledsoe is going to be a dynamite fantasy QB this season.

Julius Jones: Just a gut feeling. With Bill Parcells commitment to the run, Jones will stay healthy this season and have a 1400 yard/12 TD season.

HOLD:

Terrell Owens: This hold is primairly based on his 2004 production, not his 2005 production. Considering past history, I think T.O. will be a model citizen this year. That means he will return back to the top of fantasy receivers this year.

Mike Vanderjagt: Vanderjagt actually was pretty mediocre last season, finishing only 7th among fantasy kickers. The move away from Indianapolis will probably hurt his numbers a bit, but the Dallas offense could potentially be just as explosive. Vanderjagt should probably once again be somewhere among the top fantasy kickers.

SELL:

Jason Witten: Will lose catches to T.O.

Terry Glenn: See above.


With that in mind, where would I pick them in a TD-heavy, 10 team league?

Terrell Owens: 2nd. Possibly early second
Julius Jones: Late second, but you can probably still get him in the third.
Drew Bledsoe: 6th
Jason Witten: 12th
Terry Glenn: 13th
Mike Vanderjagt: 15th
Dallas DEF: 15th

Blog updates

Ron will not have access to the computer tomorrow, so we're going to have to wait a day for the Denver Broncos fantasy preview. The revised plan is for tomorrow to be a fantasy running backs version of Tuesday's Top 10. Wednesday, we're going to give you a doubleheader of fantasy team previews. Ron will have the Broncos, and I've got a preview of the Lions. Thursday, Ron will look at the Texans, and Friday, I'll have a preview of the Packers.

We do have bigger news, however. The tenative plan is to record at least one NFL preview podcats to have up on the blog by Friday morning! We still have to play around a bit with the software, but Ron already sent me a test podcast that sounds fine. We still haven't decided how to divide up our NFL previews, but we still hope to have a podcast up by the end of the week.

Finally, 4 spots remain in the Bloggers Fantasy Football League. Ryan McNeil from the awesome HoopsAddict and the recently deceased Killer Crossover Podcast is in, joining Alex Abboud from Sports Matters, Jason Kent from Critical Fanatic, and (still not officially, even though we've sent him 5 million invites), Adam Green from the WBRS Sports Blog. I know there are plenty bloggers out there that want to test their fantasy skills against their counterparts, so sign up quick before we run out of spaces. Comment with your e-mail and we'll sign you up!

11. RELEASE ME (performed by Stumpus Maximus & The Good Ol' Boys)The good news is i've had all the b-sides for the last 18 years. The bad news is i've had all the b-sides for the last 18 years. I *still* can't wait to buy this (again: i've got the LP, the cassette, and four CDs -- the US, UK, & JP releases, and oen that came in their Japanese box set.)

And Hysteria being the album I learned to love music with, the album that, like an influential teacher, introduced (and, for better or worse, helped define) how I would forever judge album production, songwriting, album art, and all the rest... being all that, I am dying to hear the remastered version, which will undoubtedly be inferior to my ears, even if it's superior in every numerically quantifiable way. It's gonna be like looking a mirror and seeing someone else staring back!
