Breakouts: Quarterbacks

Note: There simply isn't a big list of breakout quarterbacks coming into the 2009 season. JaMarcus Russell could make the list, but we don't believe his fantasy numbers will be worth starting fantasy quarterback especially with few weapons to throw to at this time. Other players like Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan actually broke out as rookies. Therefore we have listed some backups who if the veteran in front of them goes down could breakout in 2009. *Denotes a non-starter.
Brady Quinn - Browns - The collapse of Derek Anderson and the entire Browns offense had one beneficial result, Brady Quinn became the starting quarterback. The former first-round draft pick (22nd overall) from Notre Dame didn't exactly tear it up in his three starts, but he did show the confidence and leadership it takes to become a great NFL quarterback. The rest of the Brown team is still in question. They lost Kellen Winslow in a trade and Braylon Edwards 2008 bust leaves big questions in the receiving corps. There is some help on the way which includes #1 pick, center Alex Mack and two #2 pick receivers, Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi. Taking a late-round swing at Quinn could payoff in 2009.
Shaun Hill - 49ers - He was a pleasant surprise at the end of 2008 and finished with 2,046 yards and 13 touchdowns against just 8 interceptions. You add 1st-round-pick Michael Crab tree to the mix and Hill could give you a very solid fantasy season at a very cheap draft price.
Matt Leinart* - Cardinals - How long can 39 year-old Kurt Warner stay healthy? He is due to go down at some point in 2009 and if it is season-ending, Leinart could quickly become fantasy gold. He has had the needed time to develop behind Warner and should be primed for a big season if given the chance.
Seneca Wallace* - Seahawks - He played great behind Hasselbeck in 2008 throwing for 1,532 yards and 11 touchdowns against just 3 interceptions in 8 starts. The 33 year-old Hasselbeck still has the tools to be a good fantasy quarterback, but it is impossible to guess which Hasselbeck you will get in 2009.
Byron Leftwich - Buccaneers - He will be in a fight with rookie #1 pick Josh Freeman to for the starting spot, but if he wins Leftwich has shown the ability to be a good NFL quarterback posting a 104.3 QB rating for the Steelers in 2008. It is a long shot pick, but see what happens in training camp with this situation.

Breakouts: Wide Receivers

Ted Ginn Jr. - Dolphins - Some may say he broke out in 2008, but 56 receptions for 790 yards and two touchdowns isn't quite what he may be able to do in 2009. The 9th overall pick of 2007 is just coming into his potential and the Dolphins have potential to improve a bit more on the offensive side in 2009 as well. He should break the 1,000 yard mark and improve his touchdown totals. Don't forget about his return statistics as well.
Donnie Avery - Rams - Gone is the great Torry Holt and Avery is his replacement. The second pick of the second-round did not disappoint catching 53 passes for 674 yards and 3 touchdowns as a rookie. Considering the lackluster overall performance of the Rams offense, that is pretty good. If the Rams get decent quarterback play, Avery is a 1,000 yard receiver.
Mark Clayton - Ravens - Coming into his 5th season, Clayton has never been a star nor has he been a #1 draft pick bust. He has averaged 50 receptions for 659 yards over his short career that has been slowed by poor quarterback play. With Joe Flacco at the helm, Clayton may have finally found his quarterback and may finally have his breakout 75 catch 1,100 yard season.
Miles Austin - Cowboys - He had already leap-frogged Patrick Crayton as the #2 receiver in 2008 before he sprained his ankle and fell out of favor. He has a good chance to regain the #2 spot along side Roy Williams and if he does his big-play ability could make him a breakout in 2009.
Domenik Hixon - Giants - A pleasant surprise in late 2008 catching 30 passes in the last seven games of the season. The 6-2, 25-year-old has the ability to take the next step, but is far from a #1 receiver. He may be good for a 60 catch 900 yard season and fulfill your need for a third receiver or a nice backup.
Devin Thomas - Redskins - He will be given the chance to start as Jim Zorn wants to move Antwaan Randle El into the slot position and that could mean a mini-breakout for the 2007 2nd-round-pick.
Mike Walker - Jaguars - The rookie 3rd-round-pick finished with just 16 receptions and 217 yards, but the recent trading away of starter Dennis Northcutt indicates the Jaguars believe that Walker can take over the #2 spot along side free agent signee Torry Holt. Walker did have six receptions for 107 yards against the Steelers before he was injured and missed the next four games.
Mark Bradley - Chiefs - The addition of Matt Cassel at quarterback and the departure of tight end Tony Gonzales opens the door for the former Bear 2005 2nd-round-pick. The midseason acquisition finished with 30 receptions for 380 yards and 3 touchdowns in 8 games. He is penciled in to start along side Dwayne Bowe.
Josh Morgan - 49ers - If Shaun Hill can take a step up and if the ancient Isaac Bruce should falter, Morgan could put up some nice fantasy numbers. He finished 2008 with 20 catches for 319 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games as a rookie.
Rashied Davis and/or Earl Bennett - Bears - The addition of Jay Cutler will make all receivers better fantasy receivers in Chicago. If the Bears do not acquire Brandon Marshall, one or both of these receivers could breakout in 2009. Davis has the best chance of the two. He started out hot in 2008, but went cold in the second half finishing with 35 receptions for 445 yards and 2 touchdowns. Don't expect a #1 or #2 starter from these long shot min-breakouts, but a last pick as a backup would be a fair price.

Breakouts: Running Backs

Darren McFadden - Raiders - After a so-so, injury-plagued rookie debut, McFadden should return 100% healthy and ready to show his true ability. He finished with 499 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns and he catch 29 passes for 285 yards in 2008. He should top the 1,000 yard mark and catch 50 passes in 2009.
Pierre Thomas - Saints - He came out of nowhere when Reggie Bush went down and rushed for 667 yards, 9 touchdowns @ 4.8 ypc and he caught 31 passes for 284 yards and 3 touchdowns. He is a perfect complement to Bush and they should make a great duo in the high-octane Saint offense.
Felix Jones - Cowboys - He was on his way to a breakout-rookie season when he went down to a season-ending injury. The Cowboys have big plans for him in 2009, including picking up some of the slack left by the departure of T.O. He did average 8.9 yards a rush in limited time in 2009.
Ahmad Bradshaw - Giants - The departure of Derrick Ward opens the door for Bradshaw to show his stuff as the primary backup as well as the third-down back. This could mean legitimate fantasy numbers for Bradshaw in 2009.
Rashard Mendenhall - Steelers - A bit of a long shot until we see him in preseason, but Mendenhall was drafted to replace Parker and he may have a shot to do it in 2009 if he returns healthy.
Jerome Harrison - Browns - He showed big play ability by averaging 7.2 yards a carry in 2008. With the veteran Jamal Lewis showing signs of overuse and age, Harrison could be used a lot as a third-down-back as well as some featured back carries.

Breakouts: Tight Ends

Greg Olsen - Bears - Two words: Jay Cutler. 54 catches for 574 yards and 5 touchdowns with Kyle Orton.
Vernon Davis - 49ers - Why not? If he can stay healthy...a big if, he has the talent to be a star. He is worth a late-round look.
Brent Celek - Eagles - Coming into his third season, Celek has shown he can play the position well and now will start with the departure of L.J. Smith. He finished with 27 catches for 318 yards in 2008.
