Ryans emerging as star: Houston LB DeMeco Ryans had a solid sophomore season in 2007. Ryans was named as the AFC starter at middle linebacker in the Pro Bowl. Last season, he was the AP's Defensive Rookie of the Year. Since being drafted No. 33 overall, Ryans has been the most productive linebacker in the NFL. His 283 tackles over the past two years are a league high, as are his 224 solo tackles. Ryans, who spent much of December playing through the pain of a sprained ankle and partially torn posterior cruciate ligament, had 128 tackles in 2007 with 99 solo. He also added a defensive touchdown, one interception, two sacks, three fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles. (Updated 01/29/2008).
Injury Report
No information available at this time (Updated 7/26/08).
Fantasy Analysis
Ryans is among the best linebackers in the NFL. He should remain a No. 1 option in all IDP leagues in 2008. (Updated 01/29/2008).

A team that's never made the playoffs and two others who haven't this decade are among Clark Judge's favorites to improve their fortunes after forgetful seasons in '07.
