Meachem hopes to avoid bust label: The Sun Herald reports potential 2007 first-round bust Robert Meachem has taken strides to avoid that dubious label. Meachem actually looks like an NFL wide receiver. It's led to a boost in his confidence, and just as important, quarterback Drew Brees' trust in the beleaguered wideout who never touched the field in 2007. (Updated 06/16/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Last year Meachem was not active for any games. He goes into this year with a lot of expectations and could be a useful low-end Fantasy option. Consider taking a late-round flier on Meachem and hope he lives up to his potential. (Updated 06/16/2008).
WR Robert Meachem, a first-round draft pick in 2007, was inactive for all 16 games a year ago after having knee surgery in June. He struggled to catch up in training camp, but only late in the season showed the ability that made him the 27th overall selection earlier that spring. Now healthy, Meachem has had a solid offseason and will take on a trio of veterans -- Devery Henderson, Terrance Copper and Lance Moore -- to see who steps in as the third receiver. It would seem Henderson and Moore would have the inside track, but both went through periods of inconsistency a year ago while serving in that role. That could serve Meachem well if he is as healthy as he was when he ran around in the spring without a brace on his knee. "You don't see the gimp and he's healthier, which has helped him," Saints coach Sean Payton said of Meachem earlier this spring. "This off-season has helped him." 07/17/2008
