Below is a list of key fantasy players coming off of injuries. These players are one you should play extra special attention to during the Pre-Season.

Tom Brady

Brady had shoulder, finger, and rib issues last year, in addition to the knee injury he suffered back in 2008.

Brett Favre

Favre had offseason ankle surgery and still has not announced if he will play next season, though many, many people believe he will.

Michael Turner

Turner had major issues with leg injuries down the stretch, limiting him to half the fantasy producer he was in 2008.

Steven Jackson

Always injury prone, Jackson is coming off of offseason back surgery, no minor surgery for a 27 year old back that has had as many carries as he has had over the past few years.

Ronnie Brown

Seemingly hurt every year, Brown suffered a foot injury that ended his 2009 season early in week 10.

Brandon Jacobs

Leg injuries, specifically to the knee, didn’t cause Jacobs to miss any games last year until week 17, when the Giants were already out of it, but they greatly sapped his explosion and limited him to 3.7 yards per carry behind an excellent line.

Ahmad Bradshaw

Jacobs’ backup Bradshaw also suffered foot and ankle injuries and required multiple offseason surgeries. He is reportedly still not practicing at full speed.

Randy Moss

Moss suffered a separated shoulder last late season, but played through it. He did, however, play significantly worse and with less hustle and intensity after the injury.

 

Steve Smith

The Panthers Steve Smith broke his arm in the offseason, though he very likely will be good to go for week 1.

Marques Colston

Colston had knee surgery for the 3^rd straight offseason and was placed on the Active/PUP list before training camp and has not been removed.

Brandon Marshall

Marshall had offseason surgery on a hip injury that Josh McDaniels thought he was making up, but he was ready to go full strength for the start of training camp.

Reggie Wayne

Wayne had offseason knee surgery, but hasn’t missed a game since his rookie year, a streak almost as impressive as teammate Peyton Manning’s.

Robert Meachem

Meachem’s offseason toe surgery landed him on the active/PUP last early, but could be activated for the start of camp.

Wes Welker

Welker tore two ligaments in his knee week 17 last year and started camp on the active/PUP list, before being removed from the list yesterday and being allowed to practice.

Anthony Gonzalez

Gonzalez missed all last season with a knee injury and will have to battle back from microfracture surgery to win the starting slot receiving job in Indianapolis.

Donald Driver

The picture of consistency, Driver had offseason surgery on both knees and has not practiced since.

TJ Houshmandzadeh

Houshmandzadeh had offseason surgery for a sports hernia.

Chris Cooley

Cooley went down with an injury in the middle of last season and will have to battle with Fred Davis, who stepped up in his absence, to be the Redskins starting tight end.

Kellen Winslow

Winslow had his 5^th surgery in 6 years on his right knee in the offseason and is expected to be ready for week 1.

Owen Daniels

Daniels tore his ACL for the 3^rd time in 4 years last season and his availability for week 1 is seriously in doubt.
