Hey, you earned it man. Im not ranking you high this year... At all. You should happy I dont

think your team is good for once. Maybe if you like didnt put your whole team on your

bench, this review wouldve been easier on me. Unless what youre trying to tell me none of

them are starter worthy, then yeah I get it. I think Im going to only like one of your starters for

the full season and thats OBJ because hes actually good and produces every year(90+ rec,

1300+ yards, 10+ TD all 3 seasons) and Eli is elite because of him. Fournette I feel is receiving a

bit too much hype. Hes not going to be the 3rd down back, mainly just 1st and 2nd down and the

occasionally goaline if the Jaguars by some miracle make it there. The Jaguars had -82

differential last season, they lost and lost often. Coach Marrone said over the offseason ideally

hed like the run the ball every play. I think when said that, it wasnt so much his excitement

about Fournette but more about the fact that if they simply go 3 and out, they can still punt the

ball rather than Bortles throwing another INT. Joe Mixon I think would be great for a dynasty

league. I think hes just a bit too early. Most of the rookie RBs being drafted early seem to

already have a role on the team, Mixon not so much. Mixon could be the full time back, he

could be the early down back, he could be short yardage/goaline back, he could be the 3 rd

down pass catching back, but hes behind both Jeremy Hill and Gio Bernard in those roles. Rex

Burkhead who filled in for Gio last season had 74 carries with 17 catches. Im going to assume

Mixon will get more than 90 touches this season, but still its going to be a RB by committee

where either Hill or Bernard gets first dibs on touches thats going to limit Mixons value so

much. With Cutler being the Dolphins new QB this season, I can see Jarvis Landrys reception
total and targets decrease. Cutler seems to target bigger WRs(last time a WR shorter than 63

lead a Jay Cutler team in targets was 2010 Johnny Knox) RBs, and TE most often. I think the

addition of Cutler to the Dolphins benefits Ajayi, Julius Thomas, and Devante. Meredith has

good sleeper value. Besides Howard, hes the only real offensive threat left on the Bears. Last

season, Meredith averaged between 68.3 yards per game, which was only 0.1 yards off Alshon

Jeffery, while Meredith doubled Jefferys TD total and had more receptions than him. Even with

Glennon or Trubisky at QB, Meredith should see plenty of targets since theres no one else to

throw to. For a rookie TE even as physically gifted and fast as he has, I still dont believe Evan

Engram is going to be the teams 4th or 5th best option. He might have his moments, but more

than likely hes going to post more duds than anything seeing hes sitting behind OBJ, Marshall,

Shepard, and Vareen/Perkins. Dak was the 6th ranked QB last season which was helped by his 6

rushing TD. He didnt throw all that much but when he did he was efficient and that may have

to do with Zeke making life easy for him. I can see Dak struggle without Zeke early in the season

and pick up his play once Zeke returns from suspension. The oline for the most part is still there

and he still has Dez but youre trading in Zekes 5.1 ypc for DMCs 3.6 or Alfred Morris 3.5 and

team will be less likely to load up the line.

Update: So like, I ranked your team last and Cam Meredith just got carted. Ignore every nice

thing I said about him. Your team cant go lower than it already is.
15. pete.be...CrYan..

You know, I really tried convincing myself to rank your team higher. And I said I wouldnt hold it

against you that you drafted to QBs that are backups to your team. But I couldnt help it.

Bortles sucks so much. It hurts to watch him play. I like the McCoy pick, wouldve been my pick

there too. He does it all for that offense and with the Bills trading away their weapons and

letting go of Gillislee, I expect him to have another big year whether it be on the ground

running or catching passes. McCoy has totaled 1000+ yards from scrimmage every season

including injury shortened seasons except his rookie year where he was 55 yards short. Spencer

Ware just got hurt. Even prior to the injury there were other glaring weaknesses besides RBs

but this just tact on another reason for me to not like your team. TY Hilton with Andrew Luck is

a WR1, without Luck his stats show that hes nothing more than a WR2(Averages over a 16

game pace from the past 3 seasons with Luck: 87 Rec, 1421 yards, 7 TD. Without Luck: 66 rec,

1008 yards, 3 TD). Willie Snead Received 100+ targets both years in NO and now without

Brandin Cooks, those 117 targets, 1173 yards, and 8 TD will be up for grabs and Snead should

easily up his totals from last season. Sterling Shepard had a nice rookie season, but the Giants

rewarded him by going out and signing Brandon Marshall and drafting Evan Engram. 65-683-8

with 105 targets. Seeing as hell be there for 3 WR sets only, his rec, targets, and TD totals most

likely will take a dip. Delanie Walker was top 5 TE last season despite Mariota only throwing 451

passes last season. Walker has at least 102 targets in each of the last three seasons and 800+

yards each year during that span. With the addition of Davis and Decker and even if Titans stick

to their run first formula, I dont expect Mariota to go to Walker any less than he has. Maybe
other TEs step up this year and bump him out of the top 5, but statistically Walker should be

pretty good.
14. Chigga Batman

In a 16 team league, you have to take the guy you want if you dont think hell be there next

round. This team certainly embodied that idea but I definitely dont agree with his picks. Sure

they could pan out and Ill end up looking like a fool for ranking this team last, but of all teams

out there this is the one I seem to have the most doubt on. Christian McCaffrey seems likely to

be the most productive among all rookie RBs this year for sure. His ability to catch passes out of

the backfield is why everyone is so excited about him. The problem is youd have to go alllll the

way back to 2011, Cam Newtons rookie season where he targeted an individual RB more than

36 times(JStew 61 targets in 2011). Sure its entirely possible he does give McCaffrey the targets

but given that McCaffrey is a rookie and Stewart is still the teams starting RB, I feel his touches

will be limited this season. The Blount pick Im not feeling good about. His best seasons were

played in New England where he had Tom Brady handing it off to him with an offense that

consistently reached the redzone that he ended up leading the league last season with 18 TD. I

know the Eagles cant score as much as the Patriots can and wont build big leads that will allow

for them to just hand it off to Blount to eat up clock time. Also feel Eagles using shotgun more

hurts Blounts ability to be an effective runner similar to how it affected DeMarco two years

ago. Plays under center last season: Patriots 663 Eagles 514, from shotgun: Patriots 575,

Eagles 665. And theres this.. rush attempts towards center or guard: Pats 263, Eagles 173.

Rush attempts between towards the outside tackle: Pats 190, Eagles 241. Cant forget the

fact that Blount left NE a few years ago for Pittsburg and flamed out before returning to NE to

be productive again, I feel history will repeat itself. Im not as high on Terrelle Pryor as most
people are. He saw 140 targets last season in Cleveland but only managed to pull in 77 of them.

Sure his QB sucked and Cousins should be an upgrade to that, but he wont be option 1

anymore, at the very least hell be behind Jordan Reed and most likely JCrowder in terms of

targets. Yes Crowder too because I see Pryor filling in the role of Desean being the primary deep

threat and last season DJax posted 59 rec, 100trgts, 1005yards, 4td while Crowder takes over

for Garcon. I have nothing bad to say about Fitz, Cardinals WRs suck and Fitz is the only thing

keeping them relevant on the outside. People most likely scared off by his old age and his

9.6ypc average, but hey he still got 145+ targets and 1000+ yards each of the last two seasons

and they didnt sign any new players nor has any of the younger WR stepped up. Stephon Diggs

reminds me of a Jarvis Landry of two years ago. High volume of catches, very low ypc, and low

TD totals. He missed three games last season and if he hadnt, most likely wouldve reach 100

catches and 1000 yards. Very possible to repeat again if Bradford is still the QB being that he

had the highest completion percentage along with only the 19th best yards per pass attempt.

C.J. Fiedorowicz is eh. Just ehhhhhh. Good tight ends in 16 team leagues are limited and Fiedo

isnt one of them. He ranked 18th last season with 559 yards and 4 TD both being career bests. I

dont think Tom Savage is giving CJ addition fantasy value and neither will Watson. Big Ben

during home games is a great QB to have, the problem is he plays half of his games on the road

where he posted under 10 points in 4 or his 8 games. Here a copy and paste from espn directly

because Im lazy: Over the past three years, Roethlisberger has a 59-to-16 TD/INT mark and sits

third in fantasy points at Heinz Field. He sits at 23 TDs, 22 INTs and 18th in fantasy points during

22 road games in that span. Also has only been a top 10 QB once in the past seven years and

was considering retirement this offseason.

13. BOBAck dat FETT ass WINNER

I honestly dont think you have that bad of a team. I just feel the need to rank you low because

you had the first pick in a year where top 2 picks meant getting an elite RB that was so far and

above ahead of everyone else in the draft but you preceded to spend your next three picks on

more RB when you can only start no more than two. Im not here to lecture anyone on how to

draft, but were here to build a team to score points right? Guys on the bench cant score points

last time I checked. Maybe three RBs with the first four picks would have been fine fearing

injury, but four RBs with first four picks hurts the rest of your team so badly. Im not going to

say anything bad about DJ because hes a beast and have a feeling hell finish top 2. I like the

Crow pick because he can catch passes(40 rec on 52 targets) too and everyone expects the

Browns to fall behind early and often. He finished top 15 last season even with Duke Johnson

cutting into many of his touches, but he is still the lead back on the team. So while your RBs are

the strength of your team, thats really all you have imo. Im not sure how to feel about Kirk

Cousins. Two full seasons in and hasnt throw at least 30 touchdowns yet. Touchdowns

regressed last season with yardage upped nearly reaching 5000. I feel the yardage might drop

because he lost both 1000 yard WR in DJax and Garcon and got Terelle Pryor in return.

Cameron Brate was a top 10 TE last season but the Bucs went out and drafted OJ Howard in the

first round and also signed Desean Jackson. I can only imagine statistically, hes going to decline.

WR is your major weakspot. The problem here is that they werent all that great last season and

dont really present much upside either. The change in scenario for both WR will only hurt their

value and not allow them to reach numbers theyve posted in the past. Neither Brian Hoyer nor
Mariota have ever attempted at least 500 passes in a season. Fun fact, had this been 2013 Eric

Decker and Pierre Garcon were both top 13 WR with 1200+ yards. Shame its 2017. Still better

than Phil whose stuck in 2004.

12. Team Seng

Derek Carr is still looking for his first top 10 QB fantasy finish. He most likely wouldve finished

7th had he not broken his leg week 16. Injuries happen and he was 11 th. Itll only be Carrs 4th

season so he might just be reaching his prime now and finally break into the top 10 this year.

LeVeon Bell, top RB. Was on pace for 100 receptions. Counts as two players. Its not fair. Ty

Montgomery is an interesting pick. Converting from WR to RB last season, he pulled in 44

receptions in basically 11 games(missed some with injury or had 1 or few touches when he

wasnt named starter yet) last season and had 805 yards from scrimmage(1170 over 16 game

span). He might not be the goaline back as the team drafted Williams as a pure runner, but he

can get points through his pass catching ability and total yards. Tyreek Hill does a lot less

fantasy wise than he does for his actual team. He plays WR, RB, returns punts, and returns

kicks. He managed to finish 14th as a WR last season but Im finding it hard for him to do that

again. He had 3 special teams TD which is something very difficult to bank on. In week 15

against Tennesee, he literally had 1 touch, a 68 yard touchdown RUN. He had four games where

he had 1 or fewer touches and in no games last season did he have a 100 yard receiving game. I

think hes still in charge of returning where theres no points for return yards, so its going to

limit his yardage again and it really makes him a boom or bust guy who would benefit from

more touches. Cole Beasley.. ughhh why am I reviewing this guy? Isnt he the guy during every

draft, during any free agency period where someone loses a WR to injury we simply bring up his

name just for laughs. He had a career year last season technically with 75 catches and 800

yards, but thats likely due to Dez missing time(3 of 5 TD came in games where Dez didnt play).
Still I guess hes a flex play with limited upside(no games with more than 75 yards receiving).

Zach Miller, he might just be good not because hes some sort of talent, but because theres no

one left on the roster to throw to. Jeffery and Meredith are gone and out and Mike Glennon is

the new QB. He had 47 receptions, 486 yards, 4 TD through 10 games last season which

wouldve put him around 75-778-6 on the year. Potential top 10 TE this year with those

numbers.
11. Yo Soy Swagger

Youre like the second last team Im reviewing and I dont want to do this anymore.

As long as Matt Ryan has Julio Jones, he has a chance to be a top 10 QB. He posted career highs

in yards and TD last season and it was the least amount of turnovers in his career also. The

most impressive part was the fact he had far less passing attempts(534 attempts, ranked 26th in

NFL) than he did over the previous 6 seasons(2010-2016, averaged 607 attempts over that

period) so it shows he doesnt need the volume of attempts to post the big numbers. Jay Ajayi

wasnt really that good last season, 8 of 15 games(over half) were under 10 fantasy points. But

then 4 of those 7 went for 20+. Three of those games came after AFC East opponents who he

will see again this year(Jets once, Bills twice). I want to use this against him, but I cant because

Cutler is going to make him a fantasy stud. Maybe he wont run as well as last season(4.9 ypc)

but he only had 27 receptions for a measly 151 yards and 0 TD, numbers that should go up with

Cutler because hes known to utilize his RBs in the passing game. Im not as high on Gillislee as

you are. Sure hes a red zone stud and if all youre banking on is TD alone, then thats fine. The

Patriots backfield is a giant log jam and honestly, no one really knows who is safe or starting

week 1. Belichick said after the game Gillislee has catching up to do still and he only gave him a

few plays to get out there. Burkhead seems to be Belichicks favorite based on interviews saying

how he can play all four downs and guys like James White is more of a receiving back. Random

fact, Belichick was scouting Burkhead in the middle of last season when the Pats signed TE Matt

Lengel off Bengals practice squad to have conversations about Burkhead. Pretty sure Burkhead

is safe, not sure if theyll keep 4 RBs. I dont like any of your WRs. Not trying to be a dick, but
John Brown has sickle cell disease, its still an issue, so I can only assume that if he wasnt cured

over the offseason its going to last through this regular season. To make this simple for

everyone to understand sickle cell trait = red blood cells are deformed in the shape of a sickle

and causes it to break down. Red blood cells carries/transport oxygen around the body. No red

cells = no oxygen = cant breathe. You get the idea. Its going to prevent Brown from getting a

high percentage of snaps in a game. Plus the offense is basically David Johnson+Fitz(270 targets

combined last season). Sure hell have good moments here and there, but regardless hes going

to be limited all season. John Ross, hes fast. Stupid fast. Its a shame AJ Green, Tyler Eifert,

Brandon LaFell, Tyler Boyd, Gio Bernard, Joe Mixon are on the team. That is all. Okay I think I

only hate 2 of your WRs. I actually like JMac. He played with a torn groin last season and his QB

was Alex Smith. Flacco is an upgrade at the very least. He wont give you numbers like he did

back in Philly, but hes most likely looking to be a possession type receiver similar to what Steve

Smith and Anquan Boldin were for Flacco at the tail end of their careers. 800+ yards, 80+

receptions, 5 TD, you know something along those lines. The Ravens already have fliers like

Perriman and Wallace so they wont need Maclin stretching the field. Gronk is good okay. Im

not doubting his ability and I dont want to read off his stats to you because you already know

it. We live in NE, you guys all know how good he is. If he plays 16 games hell lead the league in

TD and be the top TE and even push for top 3 WR points.

10. RIP Mini Tron

Originally had this team ranked top 6. But with Edelmans injury bumped him out due to the

fact I consider neither Corey Coleman or Golladay as flex plays on anyone elses teams

Demarco Murray had a bounce back year last season after a poor showing in Philly 2 years ago.

He finished as a top 5 RB last year putting in his 1000+ yards and 9+ TD for the 3 rd time in 4

seasons(exception was the 1 year in Philly) and had another 50+ reception season for the 3 rd

time in 4 years(again, exception was 1 year in Philly). Oh and by the way, Murray averaged 4.77

ypc against 8+ man boxes which he saw 46.76% of the time(2nd only to teammate Derrick Henry

at 52.73%). Jacquizz Rodgers will start 3 games while DMart is suspended. Rodgers was top 10

during the five games he started last season but when DMart returns you dont have another

RB that starts or is even a 3rd down back. Michael Thomas certainly performed better than

people had expected his rookie season. 92-1137-9. I expected the TDs to be there given his size,

but the receptions and yardage was higher than I expected. With Cooks gone this year and the

Saints only adding Ginn, Thomas should easily put up 90+ catches, 1000+ yards, and 10+ TD.

Crabtree has actually been Oakland WR1 statistically the past two years leading the team in

both receptions, targets, and touchdowns both seasons. I think this year there might be a slight

switching of the guard over the Cooper as Carr recently said he knew Crabtree would come

down with jump balls but says now Cooper is consistently doing it too. Still, both guys have

gotten at least 130+ targets in each of the past two seasons so even if there is a drop off, it

wouldnt be anything significant. Coleman, not sure what to say. Suppose to be Edelman here
but hes injured now so.. easy, no need to write anything else here. I did like him as a 90-100

catch guy with low TD totals, but oh well. Coleman didnt play all that well last season. Pryor

left for free agency and they signed Kenny Britt to be the new WR1 for the team. The QB

situation still sucks in Cleveland, the Browns still suck, and that makes me have low

expectations for him. Tyler Eifert if he plays is a TE1. His reception totals isnt the highest and

he may never be a 1000 yard receiver, but hes TD machine(18 TD in past 21 games over the

past 2 seasons). If he plays, hell most likely score a TD and post double digit fantasy points.
9. Air Julio

Im just not a fan of Eli Manning. Hes had two top 10 finishes in the previous five seasons and

only one finish in the top 9 in the past 10 seasons, with last season finishing as the 22nd ranked

QB. Hes always had weapons and this season is no different went the Giants went out and

signed Brandon Marshall and drafted Evan Engram. Still, Manning is wildly inconsistent in

fantasy terms for a team that doesnt run often, where he spent a quarter of the season scoring

under 10 fantasy points and another 4 games where he didnt throw a TD in a game. Melvin

Gordon put up huge numbers last season. He was a top 3 RB until he was injured in week 14. I

still think he can reproduce being a top 3 RB because of his ability to catch passes(41 rec in 13

games) and his ypc was only 3.9 last season, which can be improved upon. Dalvin Cook has

looked good all camp apparently and played well in the preseason. Hell most likely start the

year but I think as the season goes on, hell split carries with Latavius Murray. I dont believe

the Vikings signed him to ride the bench. Not much to say about Cook because Vikings backs

were all that great last season, but as bad as they were last season Matt Asiata saw 8+ man

boxes 38.84% of the times last season(6th most) and that most likely is because no team fears

Sam Bradford trying to air it out on them. Allen Robinson went from a top 10 WR in 2015 to the

26th ranked WR in 2016. His rec and targets were nearly identical(80/153 73/151) but yardage

and TD totals fell off the face of the earth(1400/14 883/6). Im sure a majority of those

numbers from 2015 were from garbage time, but lets not act like the Jags garbage time in 2016

didnt start in the second half of every game where they finished 3-13 last season. I think the

drop off has more to do with his poor QB play than it does him. Bortles isnt improving and its
become a joke how poorly hes played this offseason. I really dont know which Allen Robinson

well get this year, but a combination of Jaguars coach insisting they will run more this season

and Bortles still being the starter, Ill take my chances with the latter. Had Randall Cobb played

all 16 games last season, he wouldve still been targeted 100+ times, making it 3 seasons in a

row. His receptions, targets, yards, yards per catch, and TD have declined each and every year

over that span. Cobb is now the third WR option and maybe the 4th option on the team with the

emergence of Devante Adams last season and the signing of Martellus Bennett. Jimmy Graham

was already the 4th ranked TE last season, but he spent the off season recovering from a major

injury and no one was sure if hed be fully healthy for the season. Theres no question about

Grahams health this year. In his two years in Seattle, Graham hasnt be able to put up the

numbers he did like in NO but last season was Russel Wilsons first season where he had more

than 500 pass attempts. While the yardage was comparable to his seasons in NO, I feel Graham

now has the chance to match his reception and TD totals he posted in NO because Seattle WR

corps is still the same from last season and Graham is their best red zone threat. Have double

TE in a 16 team league is great due to limited options at TE to begin with. Jordan Reed was 9 th

last season even while missing 4 games. Desean and Garcon gone, 200+ targets gone. Reed will

be the top target and hes gonna produce, he just needs to stay healthy but that toe injury

sounds like its going to linger all season seeing as how he claims special shoes makes it easier

on him.
8. Stat Watcha!

Originally ranked lower but bumped up a bit due to Spencer Wares Injury, Hunt fills in as the

teams starting RB. To lazy to write a review on Hunt. Also, I dont think Edelmans injury affects

Cooks all that much, it goes to Chris Hogan and Danny Amendola.

I like Tom Brady being a top 5 QB this year. On a per game basis, he was top 5 last season. They

got rid of Blount who was a touchdown hog last season. The signed Rex Burkhead who is a pass

catching back and they traded for Cooks, so basically Brady is loaded with weapons. And

thats about all I like. Had Brandin Cooks played for the Jets or some team with a noodled-arm

QB I could see the possibility for him to have a breakout year. But he played for Drew Brees and

the Saints who gave him at least 78+ catches, 115+ targets 1,100+ yards, 8 TD+ in each of the

last two seasons. I really feel hed be lucky to do that again. The loss of Martellus Bennett

doesnt change much as those numbers will go directly to Gronk, Edelman is still the teams

most reliably possession/slot WR, and they have about three different pass catch RBs in

Burkhead, Lewis, and White. I can see Devante Parker having a big year because Jay Cutler is all

about tunnel visioning on one player and one player only. Hes already said this offseason that

Parker is like Alshon but faster. That or Cutlers taken too many shots to the head doesnt know

what hes talking about. Zay Jones I really dont want to waste my time on a guy who is the

teams WR2. He will be 4th in targets for a team that only threw the ball 474 times last season.

Last year, the stat line for the Bills 4th option(JMatthews, McCoy, Charles Clay will all be better

than Jones): 29 catches, 68 targets, 431 yards, 3 TD. So what are we looking at on average? 1.8
catches, 27 yards, and idk who cares about trying to divide 3 TD over 16 games. The Bills let go

of Tyrods WR1 and WR2 last season, most likely wanting him to fail so they can release him

without backlash from the fans. Jack Doyles value depends on whether Andrew Luck plays or

not and right now, I dont think Luck is playing early on. So good luck with that. Ameer CAN be a

lot of things, but what he isnt is a full time three down back. Its a combination of him being

too small being an injury risk and the Lions having specialists for other roles. Theo Riddick is the

best pass catching bac while Zack Zenner and Dwayne Washington are the bigger backs for

short yardage/goalines. Frank Gore is old. Idk how hes still in the league. 2965 career rushing

attempts is 10th all time among all RBs. Not even including his receptions either. Youre tell me

his brain isnt completely scrambled yet? He should retired because hes old, 3.8 ypc these past

two years, and without Andrew Luck itll be more difficult. Old.
7. Banana Boat BB

I think what hurts your team the most is the uncertainty of Andrew Lucks health. If you havent

noticed by now, I havent made a single mention of someone being injury prone and how I

assume theyll miss games. Im saying this because Luck is legitimately injured at this moment.

Its not speculation, its a fact. Its very possible he will miss time and the scary part is that its

an injury on his throwing shoulder. The difference between an Andrew Luck and a Carson

Wentz is massive. I do like that you drafted 2 RB1s on your team. With the injury to Meredith,

all the Bears have left on offense is Jordan Howard. While he ran for 1,313 yards last season, he

only had 7 TD total and 29 catches. In terms of rushing, I can definitely see some regression.

Those 1,313 yards came off 252, 5.2 yards per carry which is extremely high and I expect to

come down this season. Howard saw 8+ man boxes only 27.38% of the times last season which

had 14 other RB ahead of him in that stat. When he faced 8+ man boxes, he averaged only 3.36

ypc. Without the threat of a QB with an arm talent like Cutler(yes you guys can joke, but you

dont bring in a safety against Cutler because of what he CAN do, you sit back and get an easy

pick 6), without Alshon Jeffrey on the outside, and now without Cameron Meredith, Howard

might be seeing 8+ man boxes much more often. Keenan Allen I still believe is Rivers go to guy.

He only played 1 game last year but those 6 catches and 7 targets I believe came in the first

half. He posted 67 catches, 725 yards, 4 TD two years ago in 8 games. Hes had a full year to

recover from a torn ACL in week 1. In the offseason of 2015 Chargers idea of moving Allen to

the slot on 3 WR sets to get him the ball more. And in 8 games that season, nearly matched his

receiving totals of 14 games of 2014(10 less rec, 58 less yards, same TD). In the first half of
week 1 he was on pace to bypass all his totals from 2015, so if that was any indication to how

Chargers want to use Keenan Allen, hes looking ready to be a WR1. If you put injuries aside for

Sammy Watkins, hes be very solid. Maybe he hasnt lived up to the hype of the no. 4 overall

pick or the draft picks they gave up for him, but hes certainly not a bum. That being said,

Watkins is a deep threat and he as fast as he may be, theres a safety over the top and he needs

time to you know run past him. Last season, the QB with highest average amount of time to

throw was Tyrod Taylor(3.12 seconds). Watkins is with the Rams this season, where Jared Goff

was ranked 30th in terms of time to throw(2.5 seconds). Gurley may be good but hes not

McCoy. McCoy and Gillislee also saw significantly more 8+ man boxes than Gurley did(32.54%

to Gurleys 25.54%). Chris Hogan went off for 72 yards and 2 TD after Edelman tore his ACL in

preseason. Now before we all go crazy, lets remember that Cooks wasnt on the team last

season and that Gronk and Bennett were rarely on the field together and if they were one or

the other was injured. Now, knowing that and the fact that Amendola was supposed to be what

Edelman became after he signed. Chances are Hogan might be only slightly better than what he

was last season. 5 double digit fantasy weeks, 10 single digit games. His 38 receptions, 57

targets, and 4 TD actually are very similar to his two previous seasons in Buffalo with only his

yardage totals being significantly higher at 680. Its still going to be the Gronk, Cooks, and

1049820403298 RBs show over in NE. Occasionally Hogan will have his game, but I doubt hell

be what everyone is getting excited over. Kelce has been so consistent his only three seasons in

the NFL, he gets lost in the talks about best TE in the league. I think it has to do with his TD

totals(5, 5, 4). His reception, targets, and yards had gradually increased every season and with

Maclin gone, KCs best WR is Hill who isnt very reliable. As long as Alex Smith is still the QB,
Kelce should have no problems seeing his usual 100+ targets, hauling in at least 70% of them

and breaking 1000 yards again this season.

6. My Favorite Marshawn

Scroll down and See Dannys team. I think you two have very similar teams. Mobile QB coming

off a disappointing year, three WR with WR1 potential, TE1 over the last half of the season, and

2 RB limited to one role. Cam apparently dropped some weight over the offseason, but its not

like he dropped from 225 to 215. He went from 260 to 246, so I still expect him to run if he

needs and get an occasional TD scramble here and there. Im not exactly sure how his TD totals

dropped from 35 to 19 considering he actually played without KBenjamin 2 years ago and got

him back last season. He lost Ginn this offseason so the deep threat is gone but he gained a

pass catching back in McCaffrey thatll help move the chains rather than heaving and praying

like hes done in the past. Mike Evans will be a WR1 for sure even with addition of DJax. I think

it can help take one of the safeties away from doubling Evans at times and hes still Winstons

favorite target and end zone target. Devante had a breakout year last season and still has room

for improvement. He had 997 yards and theres room for improvement as he was held to 50 or

less yards in 10 of 16 games. Kelvin Benjamin was coming of an ACL tear last season and posted

numbers very similar to 2014, although slightly lower. Both Marshawn and Rob Kelley are early

down backs. Theyre going to give little to no fantasy points with receptions as both teams have

designated 3rd down backs. I dont think the Raiders are expecting Lynch to be the workhorse

that he was for the Hawks years ago. Itll limit his upside that his carries will be kept in check to

keep him fresh throughout the season because the Raiders did use a 3 RB rotation with Murray,

Washington, and Richard(Murray led the team with 195 carries last season but he did get 12 TD

and ranked as a RB1). Kelley struggled down the stretch(Specifically after he called the Cowboys
Cowgirls before the Thanksgiving game), averaging just 46.6 yards on 3.3 ypc during that 6

game span. Hunter Henry is and I think everyone else is too just waiting for Antonio Gates to

retire. Although its a small sample size, games with Gates: 10 games 25 rec, 6 TD, 325

yards(40/520/10 over 16 game season). Without Gates: 3 games 10 rec, 2 TD, 157

yards(59/837/11 over 16 game season).

5. Black N Yellow

Last season was Matthew Staffords first season without Megatron and he still had a top 10

finish. While he didnt throw a high number of TD for his standards(24), it was his lowest

turnover total of his career(not including 2010 where he only played 3 games). He also threw

for 4200+ yards again for the 6th straight year. He still has the same WR, TE, and pass catching

RBs from last season and should repeat another top 10 finish. Lamar Miller is coming off a

disappointing 2016 season where he finished as an RB2(18th missed two games). Like any

Houston players from last season, Im just going to blame Brock Osweiler and give them a free

pass. Because when your QB sucks, has a 59% completion, and only capable of throwing for 183

yards per game then of course youre going to look bad. I dont consider Miller to be in danger

of losing his job as he managed to rush for 1073 yards and catch 31 passes for another 188. If

youre looking to be optimistic, Miller did at least manage to score double digit fantasy points in

9 of 14 games. Perkins has a lot to prove this year as he basically didnt show much of anything

last year. Besides facing a league low 6.57 defenders in the box on average, Perkins only had 15

catches in 14 games(and will most likely concede 3rd down work to Shane Vareen), and scored 0

TD. Im still not exactly sure what the RB situation is for the Giants, is Vareen the passing down

back, is Darkwa the short yard and goaline back or will Perkins be allowed to do all 3 also? AJ

Green finished without 1000 yards for the first time in his 6 year career last season but that was

due to a season ending injury. He was well on his way to another top 10 finish(66/941/4 in 10

games, projected 105/1505/6 over 16 games). Still hes Daltons top target. I cant necessarily

say Green will have a bounce back year considering he was doing really well prior to injury, lets
just say I expect him to post numbers typical to what he normally does. If you ignore the first 5

weeks(which I know, is dumb. But lets do it anyways) of the season where Marvin Jones was

out killing it and baiting Bobby into thinking hes better than Amari Cooper and just look at

weeks 6-17, Golden Tate was a top 10 WR. Tate wouldve ranked 7 over that period. While hes

not a TD guy (4, 6, 4 in each of the past three seasons), he has seen at a minimum 90+ catches,

128+ targets, 800+ yards in all of those seasons. With no new weapons signed(Besides rookie

Golladay), Tate should see plenty of targets and catches again this year. I see Tyrell Williams

taking a dip this year but thats mainly because Im going with Keenan Allen taking back the

WR1 role. He finished 16th among WRs which technically means he wouldve been a WR1 by

fantasys definition. He wasnt the most efficient of WR(69 catches to 120 targets) but he did

post a 15.3 ypc which should mean hes the teams deep threat as Keenan is more of a

possession WR who sometimes plays the slot(also ypc over past 3 seasons all under 11). Eric

Ebrons continues to struggle with scoring TDs(7 in 3 seasons, 40 games) but his receptions and

yardage has slowly increased every year. Sure its only been three years, but Im not sure if hell

ever been a big TD guy because if he were going to be, Stafford wouldve tossed more than 1

his way given it was the first season without Megatron last year but he didnt. So maybe he just

bound to catch for yards and nothing more.

4. The Champ

Im going to decline all your calls. I dont want to hear it. Its not the injury bug thats affecting

your team this year, its the uncertainty of the players suspension. Zeke for possibly 6 games

and Martavis Im still not sure for how long. McFadden did run for 1,000 two years ago but hes

not Zeke and I know he doesnt have the serum. Profootball focus somehow ranked the

Cowboys o-line 9th(1st last season) this season after they lost 2 of the starting 5 even though the

three they kept were the probowlers. Im looking for a reason to hate okay? Let me hate.

Woodhead is going to basically be a 70 catch WR with 600-700 yards wont be asked to run all

that much as Terrance West is the starter and early down back. Your WRs are good but to be

considered strong depends on Martavis. Jordy was last seasons top WR, hell stay top 5 with

ARod still as his QB. Emmanuel Sanders eclipsed 1,000 yards each of the past three season but

has seen his yards and touchdowns have declined in each of those years. Martavis when he

plays is easily 1000+ yards and 10+ touchdowns. I just dont the fact his catch to target rate is

54%. Rudolph Im not a fan of, but I cant deny the fact Sam Bradford loves throwing to TEs and

made Rudolph top 5 in basically every TE categories. With Bridgewater still recovering I think

Rudolph will get high volume of catches and targets again. Drew Brees uhh top 5 QB. Overall

the team is really balanced but youd need to survive the time your players are suspended.

Edit: I just realized how short your write up was. Hopefully your season will be cut short after

14 weeks too ^_^

3. Do Do on you

It wouldnt make sense to not rank this team high considering I contributed to the decision

making of most of the selections. The strategy was to draft for most points possible instead of

balance. I think that was accomplished. The biggest strength is WR. Theres basically three WR1

on this team with Brown, Baldwin, and Cooper(The BBC). Brown has been top 3 the past few

years and would have finished 1st for the 3rd year in a row had he not missed a game last year,

Baldwin has back to back seasons with top 10 finishes and proved he can be a ppr guy last

season with 90+ catches, and Cooper who has top 15 finishes in his first two years will remain

consistent in a pass heavy offense in OAK as he is Carrs favorite option, although he didnt have

a single game after week 8 with more than 80 yards. Russell Wilson I believe will be a top 5 QB

this year. Last season he spent most of the season with a sprained MCL and prevented him

from being a better runner. Im not saying hell match careers highs but prior to the MCL injury

he had, he was rushing at least 90 times a season for no less than 489 yards in a year(72 carries,

259 yards, 3.6ypc last season, all career lows). It also prevented him from moving outside the

pocket to buy more time for his WR to get open down field. Over the last 9 games of the

season, Zach Ertz had the highest points per game among all TE. The signing of Alshon Jeffery

may cut into those numbers, but the team also traded away Jordan Matthews who led the

team in targets last season. It was his lowest rushing numbers of his career. The most glaring

weakness on the team is obviously running backs. Bilal Powell over the last 4 games last season

was the 2nd best RB only behind Leveon Bell. With Matt Forte back this season in addition to the

Jets most likely having the worst offense in all of football this year, he wont be able to come
close to that. Darren Sproles may get 5-15 touches a game and his value is so matchup and

situation based. The signing of Blount wont affect his value much since Sproles doesnt get

many carries to begin with. Sproles is also going to retire this season and its possible the team

will hold him out in many situations. Lastly, Justin Tucker kicks touchdowns.
2. Team Mongeon

I dont consider it the sexiest team, I just like the overall balance of his starters. From week 5-12

Mariota was the top rated fantasy QB. Its not the whole season but it shows that hes capable

of being a top 10 QB and maybe even push for top 5 this season with the addition of another

red zone threat and using a 1st round pick on a WR. For RBs, Im not a huge fan of Terrance

West because hes only an early down back but hell still get a high volume of carries again

because the Ravens didnt sign any RBs to take away carries(Woodhead was signed to be a 3 rd

down back). As for Gurley, after how poorly he played last season.. he can only improve. At

least thats what Im going to tell myself. He didnt have a single game where he rushed for 100

yards last season and Goff played like garbage. The Rams went out and got Goff some weapons

and will most likely keep safeties out of the box for Gurley too. I think everyone knows what

Julio Jones is capable of. Last year Jones received only 9 targets inside the 20(ranked so low I

dont even want to count) and only 6 targets inside the 10(ranked 30 th among WR). Falcons OC

have said several times they plan to utilize him much more often in the red zone this season.

Jones missed two games and still ranked 6th among WR and was rarely used in the redzone.

Jones should he be health should easily crack top 5 this season. Demaryius Thomas for the 5 th

straight year lead the Broncos with 90+ catches, 1000+ yards leading the team, and 140+

targets also leading the team every season. Thomas splits with Siemian and Paxton Lynch are

very similar over the past year(with Siemian 1 less catch, 6 less yards over 16 game full season

pace vs Lynch), so if the Broncos were to give Lynch another shot to start, it wouldnt change

DTs fantasy value. I expect Jamison Crowder to take a big step up from last season. Crowder
already led the team in TD last season and with the departure of DJax and Garcon(both 1000

yard WR and 100+ targets each), hes most likely to see higher usage then he already did last

season where he was targeted 97 times with 67 catches for 847 yards. Greg Olsen hasnt

missed a game in 9 years and in his last 3 seasons has posted at least 77 receptions and 1000+

yards. Cam has lost weight and the team wants him running less, so I expect at the very least

Olsen will put up those numbers again.

1. St11cks Warriors

You know, I dont think its the team thats really all that great and I know it was there last

year, but something about the spirit of the Ultimate Warrior. I cant explain it. So Im going with

my gut and giving him the top spot. I mean look, hes already wearing a belt in the picture. He

must be the champ right? Aaron Rodgers best fantasy QB? IMO yes. Hes getting everyone

back this year and he got himself a proven legitimate TE in Martellus Bennett, who is also on

this team. Last season GB TEs scored 8 TD with 60 rec and 97 targets. Its similar to Bennets

averages over the past 4 seasons(2013-2016 avg 71 rec, 102 targets, 763 yards, 5.7 TD). He

posted 55rec, 701, 7 TD last season splitting time with Gronk occasionally but in GB hell be the

lone TE and I dont see how he wouldnt reproduce those numbers again, if not better. As much

as some may hate CJ Anderson, he still averaged 13.5 points a week which puts him as a RB1

and the Broncos didnt bring in new competition for him as hes the teams only relevant RB

because Booker is still hurt and JCharles is playing to get cut. Jeremy Hill doesnt catch passes so

his value doesnt really change. Hills carries in the past three seasons: 222, 223, 222. Even if it

drops to 200 or 210 Hill will still get his TDs(9, 11, 9 past 3 seasons). Hill was never a prolific

pass catcher(27, 15, 21) and most likely those came on 1st or 2nd downs so the odds of him

getting 0 catches is unlikely. The Bengals offense is still good, AJ Green is still there, Eifert is still

there. Rex Burkhead had 74 carries, 17 catches last season. Its possible Mixon can get those

touches, cut in a few of Hills carries and a little of Gios 91 carries but I dont envision Mixon

being run into the ground. DHop was coming off a terrible year, but were going to blame that

on Brock Osweiler. Averages over 16 games with Osweiler: 80 rec, 155 targets, 957 yards, 4 TD.
Averages over 16 games with Tom Savage: 96 rec, 181 targets, 1349 yards. I think DHop will be

fine this year. For the terrible year that Dez supposably had last season, he still wouldve

finished with 62 rec 118 targets 980 yards and 10 TD had he played out a 16 game

season(missed 3, he was at least on pace for a top 16, WR1 finish). Thats with limited passing

due to Zeke running so well and controlling the clock. With his suspension, Cowboys will have

to throw more and I know thatll get Dez to do much better than he did last season. Brandon

Marshall, the Giants new WR2 shouldnt see the double teams hes seen in the past playing

opposite OBJ. Has seen 100+ targets in each of the past 10 seasons. Shepard saw 105 targets

last season, chances are Marshall is taking and OBJ may even miss the start of the season giving

more targets to Marshall. At the very least, hes a big bodied target for Eli whos actually listed

being taller than TE Evan Engram and less than 10 pounds lighter than him.
