Outlook: Driver turned thirty-five this offseason and while his production was solid last year with 1,061 yards and six touchdowns, there are warning signs on the horizon. He only had 185 yards with no touchdowns during the last four regular season games of 2009, so there should be a concern that he is slowing down. He is also coming off double arthroscopic knee surgeries, and older players generally take longer to recover from surgery. Few wide receivers play well after turning thirty-five, and Driver could very well follow that trend. He is certainly a risky fantasy play in 2010, although the risk is somewhat mitigated due to his prominence in Green Bay’s solid offense. Based on his production last year, Driver will be drafted as a WR3 in most leagues, but his value lies as a fantasy backup when considering his risk/reward factors.
Packers sign Driver to extension-- Fri Aug 6 7:05 pm -- WR intends to retire with Green Bay
Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver signed a two-year contract extension Friday. Further terms were not immediately available. Driver is now signed through the 2012 season, when he will be 38. "Now I know I'm going to retire a Green Bay Packer," he said. "It's a great feeling."(ESPN.com)
FF Today's Take:Driver is only 606 yards away from breaking the Packers all-time receiving yards record currently held by James Lofton. The 35-year-old has been quite fortunate to play with a pair of talented quarterbacks in his time in Green Bay, and will shoot for his seventh straight 1000-yard season in 2010.
