Keary Colbert 2008 Fantasy Projections

by Kori Ellis on March 23rd, 2008

Although Keary Colbert has been disappointing in his last three seasons in the NFL, the Denver Broncos acted early and signed the former Carolina Panther early on in free agency. Giving him a three year contract, Colbert will enter the 2008 campaign with a decent shot at becoming a starter.

With Javon Walker gone to the Oakland Raiders, Brandon Stokley and Colbert will battle for the number two wide receiving job next to Brandon Marshall. If Colbert is named the starter, he could be in line for a very solid 2008 fantasy season.

Colbert is an interesting case because he played very well as a rookie but hasn’t done much since. As a rookie in 2004, Colbert had more than 750 receiving yards and five touchdown catches. In his last three seasons, Colbert has done little of anything. In the last three seasons combined, Colbert has 670 yards receiving and two touchdown catches.

Although he has been forgotten in the past couple few seasons, the Broncos showed that they value his potential. For that reason alone, I’ll project Colbert to have 500 yards and three touchdowns. Those projections will rise if he is a opening day starter at wide receiver.
