I believe Crabtree will do well because he plans on an offense that forces the defense to fear the rushing attack, and Vernon Davis, while not perfected in pass catching or route running, still changes the dynamics of safety coverage to avoid him burning them through the seam. Crabtree should be able to see a good amount of single coverage without effective safety help over the top. While Flacco did not have a great stat line, that was reflective of his offensive scheme, a run first offense. Ryan, even with a strong rushing threat in Turner, was able to put up good fantasy numbers several times last season. As for QB success before him, think of Big Ben his rookie year, or first year startes such as Palmer, Rivers, Cassel, etc. These later three guys had time to learn the offense, but then again, they were going through learning lumps as well. I'm not saying make Sanchez your guy, but hes definatly a viable number 2 option with better upside then most backups. Fantasy backs as rookies tend to be more dependent on the lines they start behind rather than their individual merits. Think of the difference between Mcfadden's and Peterson's rookie lines.
