Believe it or not, Brian Westbrook posted his best year in the NFL in 2007, his sixth season. In 15 games, Westbrook had 1,333 yards on 278 carries (4.8 avg.) with seven touchdowns, adding 90 catches for 771 yards (8.6 avg.) and five scores. Aside from his receiving touchdowns, every other stat you just read was a career-high. Want more proof that Westy had a huge season? He notched a career-best 11 rushes for 20 or more yards and 104 runs and catches combined for first downs. In total, Westbrook averaged 5.7 yards on 368 total touches. Best of all? Westbrook had at least 20 touches in 13 of the 15 games he played in. (Updated 02/01/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Westbrook's versatility and consistent use in the Eagles' offense has put him among the top-five Fantasy options you could take on Draft Day 2008. The only issue: Westbrook has yet to play 16 games in a season. That means that owners who select Westbrook must also pick up his projected backup RB (potentially Correll Buckhalter) with a middle- to late-round pick in drafts. If that's not an issue for you, then think of Westbrook as a No. 1 Fantasy RB worth picking somewhere between third and sixth overall in drafts this summer. (Updated 02/01/2008).
RB Brian Westbrook has a league-high 694 touches over the last two seasons, including 372 last year. The Eagles traded for another running back, Lorenzo Booker, on draft day. But Westbrook said he's not interested in having his load lightened. "I wouldn't mind it being the same," he said. "I think I've been very productive with the ball in my hands with that many touches. I think I can continue to do that." 05/08/2008
