What happened to the top 100 High School Football recruits of 2003

Up late and I know some enjoy this kind of info. I believe 37 players were drafted out of the rivals top 100.

Mofome,

I do believe the 37 is on the highside.

Meachem turning into fantasy gold

<HR width="100%" noShade SIZE=1>By Tristan H. Cockcroft

<!-- template inline -->The New Orleans Saints kept two streaks alive Sunday: They won their 12th consecutive game to start the season, coming back in dramatic fashion to beat the Washington Redskins, but more importantly to fantasy owners, red-hot wide receiver Robert Meachem scored a touchdown for the fifth straight week.

Meachem was a one-man wrecking crew Sunday, finishing as the team's leader in targets (10), receptions (8) and receiving yards (142). What's more, barring a standout performance in tonight's Minnesota Vikings-Arizona Cardinals game, Meachem will soon sit comfortably atop his position in fantasy points for the week (26), thanks to two touchdowns.

That's right, while Meachem hauled in one receiving touchdown, that one a key in the Saints' late-game rally, he also made a critical play earlier in the contest, stripping Redskins defensive back Kareem Moore of the football immediately after Moore had picked off Drew Brees and returning the fumble for a game-tying touchdown. Fantasy owners who might have been under the assumption Meachem would get credit for only the receiving score will be pleasantly surprised to learn he'll also be credited for the fumble-recovery touchdown.

Meachem's play was very similar to one Keenan McCardell made Oct. 6, 2003. McCardell picked up a ball that the Indianapolis Colts' Mike Doss had fumbled (just following an interception), and returned it for a score. The play will not be counted as an offensive or defensive touchdown (sorry, those of you who started the Saints D/ST), but will count instead as a fumble return for a touchdown, basically a return touchdown. So Meachem will get credit for the six points and a touchdown, even though it won't be a receiving touchdown. Currently he's sitting at 20 points in our Live Scoring and FantasyCast, but that will be adjusted to 26 points in the system.

But the real story here is Meachem's swift ascent from little-used No. 4 receiver to being one of the top targets in arguably the game's most potent offense. Even before this week, he had become more of a red-zone option, with four targets in those situations from Weeks 9-12; as such, he was one of the hottest pickups in fantasy football. Expect his ownership, at 47.2 percent of ESPN leagues entering the week, to soar after this performance. Meachem got another look in the red zone, but he also got nine more looks at other points on the field.

The Saints' schedule is mighty favorable for their passing game the remainder of the season, including games against the Atlanta Falcons (Week 14, road), Dallas Cowboys (Week 15) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Week 16). The Saints have already clinched their division and are close to wrapping up a first-round bye, making them a candidate to rest their regulars. But that Meachem hadn't been a significant factor before Week 9 might mean his role won't be as diminished as much as Drew Brees', Marques Colston's or Jeremy Shockey's. In fact, he might be as safe as a Saints player comes.
