Donte Stallworth to Browns - 2008 Fantasy Projection

by Kori Ellis on March 2nd, 2008

The Browns continue to upgrade their offense. After re-signing starting quarterback Derek Anderson, the team brought in another offensive weapon. Donte Stallworth, who was signed to a 7-year, $35 million contract, is an explosive receiver who can break any play for a touchdown.

The Browns’ offensive unit now appears to be stacked. Anderson at quarterback. Jamal Lewis at running back. Braylon Edwards and Donte Stallworth at wide receiver. Kellen Winslow II at tight end. Cleveland has a chance to be the best offensive team in the NFL in 2008.

Last season, Stallworth had a solid season with the Patriots. He had a couple games where he looked like he could be a star. However, as the season went on, Stallworth seemed to fall out of favor. And that has been a disturbing pattern for him.

Stallworth isn’t known as a hard worker, to stay the least. His hands are a big question mark. What isn’t a question mark is his speed. My fantasy projection for Stallworth in 2008 is 900 yards and six touchdowns. That said, he’s a risky pick. He could fall flat on his face and be somewhat worthless or he could have a huge season. You’ll have to decide if you want to take that risk.
