Young 

Fantasy Football site KFFL.com has come out with their list of “Overvalued Fantasy Players” for the 2007 season.  Titans signal caller Vince Young is the #1 QB on their list of Overvalued Players.  Below are the comments on Young:    

Vince Young, Tennessee Titans

Expectations are high after Young’s strong finish last season but while the team’s prospects may be looking up, Young’s fantasy value should not be viewed as optimistically. For starters, his passing statistics were not too prolific last season as he only averaged 148 yards and threw 11 touchdowns in 13 starts. These numbers are paltry in comparison to stronger fantasy performers. He also had his share of mistakes as he threw more interceptions (12) than touchdowns during those 13 games. While he can be expected to improve a bit on his rookie season, he still is in the middle of the learning process and will make the occasional bad decision that could cost your fantasy team a few crucial points. As of right now, Young cannot be looked at as a viable every-week starter as he is too inconsistent although he could be given consideration on week-to-week matchup basis. He also should not be picked as a strong No. 1 in most fantasy drafts, but he is more viable as a low No. 1 with upside; owners who do this should draft a capable backup.
