Pros: He makes the jump from the Tennessee Titans, where he wasn't utilized often, to the New England Patriots, who'll use him for his blocking and have a competent quarterback (Tom Brady) throwing the ball to him. His blocking skills should keep him on the field.

Cons: Now, his role has been limited, but his last decent season came in '06 when he caught 56 passes for 780 yards and eight scores. Last year, he managed just 27 receptions for 222 yards and one touchdown despite playing in all 16 games. Two rookies, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, could see time as the season wears on, especially with their superior receiving skills.

Fantasy tip: Crumpler likely will be valued for his blocking - not one of the fantasy categories. Let him sit on the waiver wire. He hasn't been drafted in most fantasy leagues.
