Brooks to Raiders

The Oakland Raiders potentially filled their empty starting quarterback spot by signing former Saints QB Aaron Brooks to a two-year deal, believed to be worth $11 million. He will be the favorite to claim the starting job going into the preseason.

Brooks has always been a good fantasy QB. From 2001-2004, he compiled more than 3500 yards and 20+ touchdowns every season. Last year, he was benched for the last three games, but still threw for 2882 yards.

With Randy Moss and Lamont Jordan on his side of the ball, Brooks could be a major sleeper for the 2006 season. He's always been on the verge of fantasy stardom, even though in the NFL, he's looked at as somewhat of an enigma. He doesn't lead his team to victory often, but you don't care, as long as the numbers are there.

Aaron Brooks may not be the player of old, but he is still a good pick up. He'll probably be the starter. Its been awhile since he's had guys like Moss and LJ on his side. Fantasy wise I think he'll either be a stud or a dud. Hopefully a stud.
