Kennison’s recent television interview. Declaring what he likes best..

Easy Eddie is what we at MoSneaky like to call Eddie Kennison. Each year on the surface he seems to have all the advantages of being a top tier WR, however each year he tends to disappoint and leave owners scratching their heads. This year will be no different so don’t expect anything more than 800 YDS and 5 TDs from the 34 year old.

The Bust Explained

When was the last time a KC WR had over 1200 YDs and 10 TDs? You have to look back to the Gunther Cunningham days and 2000 when Derick Alexander turned the trick. We don’t see new head coach Herm Edwards opening up the playbook with a stud TE, RB and Offensive Line. Pounding the ball up the middle will be the focus of the offensive.

Year	Player	Rec	Yards	TDs
2002	Eddie Kennison	53	906	2
2003	Eddie Kennison	56	853	5
2004	Eddie Kennison	62	1086	8
2005	Eddie Kennison	68	1102	5
2006	Eddie Kennison	53	860	5

The Risk Factor:

When doing research on Kennison we where surprised to learn that he is 34 years old and has been in the league for 12 years. Old man reaper is creeping up on Eddie and he has appeared to have lost a step. Each year he is a threat to be a cap cut however his cap figure is pretty respectable for what it would cost to replace him.

The Strategy:

Kennison is not someone to be owned in most fantasy football leagues in 2007. His only value is a wavier claim to match against a poor pass defense on a buy week. Don’t get caught with him as your #2 WR. You will be very sorry!
