NFL Players Who Could Have Big Comeback Seasons For Your Fantasy Team

This NFL season there are bound to be some players who had off seasons last year that come back big this year. These players will likely be available in the mid to late rounds of your fantasy football draft and could be solid starters on your team during your starters bye weeks or if they get hurt.
At quarterback, both Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers and Trent Green of the Dolphins should have better seasons than they did last year. Roethlisberger is a year removed from his horrific motorcycle accident and still has all the potential in the world. Green's getting older but regularly passed for over 4000 yards before his concussion last year on a Chiefs team without superstar receivers. You can probably select Green very late in your fantasy draft as your #3 QB if you decide you want one.
At running back, Cadillac Williams of the Buccaneers and Lamont Jordan of the Raiders can't possibly play as bad as they did last year. Williams will finally have a solid veteran QB in Jeff Garcia to take the pressure off Tampa Bays running game. Jordan will get the bulk of Oaklands carries early in the season due to Dominic Rhodes' 4 game suspension.
At wide receiver the most obvious possibilty for a big comeback fantasy season is Randy Moss. He hasn't had a great QB like Tom Brady throwing to him since he played with Daunte Culpepper before Culpepper had injury problems. Jerry Porter of the Raiders hardly played last year and could very well get the at least 900 yards receiving he was getting before last season.
At tight end, Eric Johnson of the Saints looks to get back to the level he reached in San Francisco a few years ago before injuries got a hold of him. He gives the Drew Brees yet another option to throw to.
