Posted 07/06/07

The Big Guys Up Front
As fantasy managers, we're always in search of upgrades at QB, RB, WR, TE and even Kicker. However, in the NFL, it all starts up front. To get an edge, never ignore the big offensive linemen.

To help you get a quick read on the best o-lines, 4for4.com has an Executive Summary based on our most recent analysis.


Top Tier O-lines
Minnesota Vikings
One of the best in years, especially on the left side
San Diego Chargers
Even without Tomlinson, this line is special. With LT its unsurpassed.
Seattle Seahawks
Walter Jones is dominant on the left side, others coming along
Denver Broncos
Age is starting to be a factor, but you have to give them their due.
New England Patriots
Undervalued unit, they keep Brady upright and do a nice job run blocking.


Tier Two
Pittsburgh Steelers
Some offseason moves hurt, still this is an above average group.
Philadelphia Eagles
Loaded with Pro-Bowl talent.
Washington Redskins
Another underrated group. Chris Samuels is the anchor.
Chicago Bears
Aging but they all have talent. Olin Kreutz is as good as it gets.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Could become an elite group this year.
New Orleans Saints
Another unit that is on the rise.
Indianapolis Colts
Small group but they have some Pro Bowl talent.


Honorable Mention
SF 49ers
Mgmt is focused on building this unit and Larry Allen has been a giant.
St. Louis Rams
Unit has quickness and some good pass blockers.
Carolina Panthers  
On paper they look impressive, but injury concerns remain.
