End Zone Buzz continues its series on the best and worst in fantasy football for 2007.

In this installment, we feature the best player on a new team -- Travis Henry.

When he left Tennessee for Denver, Travis Henry's fantasy football draft stock soared. For six years, Henry has done nothing but produce, when given the opportunity. Playing in only 19 total games in 2004 and 2005, Henry's career seemed to be on a downward spiral.

When he got another chance to be the go-to guy in Tennessee in 2006, Henry once again produced, with his third 1,200-plus yard season.

Now, as the feature back in Denver's unique rush-block system, Henry may be set for his biggest season ever. Denver is a running back factory, turning average runners like Reuben Droughns into 1,200-yard backs. Strong, quick, downhill runners like Henry have had 2,000-yard seasons in Denver.

Fantasy football owners should look for Travis Henry to slip to the second round, where he might be the steal of your draft.

Look for 1,700 yards and 14 TDs from Henry in 2007, as this year's best player on a new team.
