QB

1. Jay Cutler
2. Eli Manning
3. Josh McCown

RB

1. Chris Johnson
2. Rashad Jennings
3. Shane Vereen (If PPR, get this guy asap)

WR

1. Cody Latimer
2. Jordan Matthews (I think he becomes Foles fav)
3. Pierre Garcon

TE

1. Dwayne Allen
2. Zach Ertz
3. Eric Ebron (Not sure he can be considered one lol)

DEF/ST

1. Tampa Bay
2. Buffalo
3. San Diego

Would have gone with Hakeem Nicks at WR but his issue is staying healthy and after last season, never drafting him again.

Garçon lead the league in catches right? How is he a sleeper?

I've also hopped on the Andre Williams bandwagon.

Also think Geno Smtih is going to have a strong, though not quite elite, year. Will definitely outperform his non-existant ADP.

I'll give you two at each position, and you can thank me later

QB

Sam Bradford- this is THE year
Ryan Tannehill- his curve looks to be point WAY upward

RB

Trent Richardson- dont call it a come back! buy low and reap the rewards
Khiry Robinson- mashed 11 man fronts last year when they KNEW he was gonna get the ball. Special early round talent found in middle rounds

WR

Michael Floyd- Fitz is getting old, and Floyd took a huge step(quietly) to becoming a legit WR1.

Rod Streater- see above

TE

Levine Toilolo- you prob say "dafaq". Huge target Matt Ryan will love.

Mychal Rivera- solid year last year, look for Schaub to boost his stock

Agree on Khiry. Would not be surprised to see the Saints have an RB1 this year.

Julian Edelman caught 105 balls last season, too.

People will be all over Shane Vereen in PPR leagues, too. Dude averaged 17 ppg in the games he played, which would have put him right outside the top 5 RBs based on ppg.

depending on your league I could see vereen slipping people's minds simply because of the injury last year prevented him from really breaking out

Montee Ball if you consider him a sleeper and Jeremy Maclin will put up DJax numbers if healthy.

Fitz is getting old


Lester, Fitz is 30. That is not "old" for a wide receiver. He's in his 10th year.

You might recall this guy who played a few years back named Jerry Rice. He played in the NFL for 20 years. In his 10th year, he exceeded 1800 yards and had 15 touchdowns. Not bad for an "old" guy, huh?

It is pretty old for a WR. He's going into his 11th season.

Jerry Rice might be the best football player in history, regardless of position. Terrible comparison.


Fitzgerald the last 2 years:


71 catches, 798 yards 4 TDs
82 catches 954 yards, 10 TDs.

Does that look like the Fitzgerald you remember? Keep in mind he didnt miss any games.

Floyd actually had more yards than Fitz last year. I don't think most peopel realize that
