LaDainian Tomlinson - RB - San Diego Chargers - Dec 4 2008 12:47PM est
News: The San Diego Union-Tribune suggests that LaDainian Tomlinson could be traded in the offseason.
Impact: Tomlinson has a monster contract that would have to be redone to facilitate a deal. He also turns 30 before next season and will be coming off his worst year as a pro, so his trade value is weak. While GM A.J. Smith could draft LT's heir apparent in April, expect to see him back in powder blue in 2009.

 

I wonder if anyone has ever gone from a consensus #1-2 fantasy pick to a 4th rounder in one season before?

 

Without a serious injury - no. LDT has let the fantasy world down BIG TIME the last 2-years. But so has Steven Jackson and - at least this year - Brian Westbrook. So the consensu top 3 picks have really been busts this year. Next year, the concensus #1 will be Adrian Peterson.
