My rookie of the year candidates....

So far, my rookie of the year candidates for the NFL 08 season are Darren "D-Dawg" McFadden and DeSean Jackson.

After Fargas went down with the groin injury against the Chiefs, the McFadden era began. This savage had 21 touches with a 164 yards and a touchdown. As long as he gets more touches and that Raiders' o-line holds up. This kid will beast. The Nation has got to be pumped for this guy.

Next up, my dude from Cal. DeSean Jackson. Dude has had two consective weeks of 100+ yards receiving. He could have had his first NFL career touchdown against the Cowboys, but due to an early rookie move celebration, dude threw the ball before he crossed the plain and started his dance. Luckily his ass got saved and the refs put the ball on the 1 with an Eagles possession. This kid is amazingly fast and I'm really impressed with the amount of yards he's putting up in only two games. He's got tremendous upside as long as he just keeps his head on straight and doesn't do something idiotic with the premature celebration again. Word to his Army All-American Bowl game where he jumped way too early before the goal line putting the ball back on the one. Nonetheless, McNabb may have found his new favorite target. Word to that. I really regret not selecting DeSean in my fantasy league because dude is killin'.
