2009 Archives (published August, 2009)
Lights Out
The league needs more players like Hines Ward. He is as hard as granite, both mentally and physically, and is feared more when he doesn't have the ball than when he does.
Best two minutes of football we've ever found:
The Reed hit gets our vote!
Miller had better grow eyes in back of his head.
Seeing Red
Besides doing his best impression of Ronnie Lott while downfield blocking, defenses also must account for his pass catching ability on every play, especially inside the 20. Hines has been a red-zone specialist for most of his pro career. Since 2002, he has caught 39 red-zone scores and only Randy Moss has been more productive in that category at 41 TDs inside the 20. Given the difference of height between these two, it makes it all the more impressive. Hines creates opportunities with his physical toughness and sound route running and doesn't rely on anything he was born with (besides a fearless mentality). Perhaps that is why his QB's back-handed remarks stung so badly...

Give us 6'0 or 5'11" with immense talent, moral fiber, and the power to make linebackers constantly look over their shoulders over 6'5" with an itchy and highly inaccurate trigger finger every time... and twice on Sunday. What were you thinking, Ben?
2009 Fantasy Outlook
Hines has rarely been that guy to carry your fantasy team with the blowout 150+ yard 2-3 TD game (once in '02 and again in '06), but he has been a solid contributor since his 4th year in the league averaging 1,028 yards and 7.6 TDs per season from 2001-2008 - and that's including six missed games between 2005-2007. Nothing earth-shattering... just solid.
Hines is at the point of his career where the numbers should to be harder to come by. At age 33, he is certainly capable of producing at the level he has over the last few years, but there is not much potential for upside, and to win fantasy leagues, you have to end up with those guys that breakout and return the most on your draft-day investment. We would not draft Hines at a place where 1,000 yards and 7 TDs should normally go, and we are making this bone-crusher the 18th WR selected in the '09 draft.
Injury Alert
He has missed time in three of the last four years, but played in all 16 in ’08. On principle, we cannot go yellow here.
