In order to know exactly who to draft for Fantasy Football, you need to do some research. It can be confusing to make sense of all of the sources that you get from that only appear to conflict each other. Different people have different players in different positions in their Top 10, and the composites of all the experts on a site only bring a fraction of the information that you really need.
In order to go into a Fantasy Football Draft prepared, you need to get the following info from the past three years, just to see where everyone is at in terms of performance both within themselves and in the team as a whole as well. You’ll definitely need to know the following from each player:
- Whether or not the player is a consistent performer or one who keeps posting low scores (usually if he posts 2 points or less)
- Injury history of the player (i.e. Darren McFadden), as well as suspension history if necessary
- Cohesiveness of the team as a whole (i.e. Cleveland, Oakland)
That’s generally the main idea, but there’s a few certain things to know when judging some players:
- If the Quarterback isn’t a good passer, the team will use a Run-based offence – take Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs, who use Jamaal Charles as their bellcow on a regular basis, and whose WRs and TEs won’t find the endzone often.
- Don’t focus too much on Bye Weeks, as you can always trade a player for someone else later if it becomes a huge problem. (Generally, it won’t, as at least one player in drafted in the first six rounds will be dropped for someone on the waiver wire before then. I guarantee it.)
- Don’t draft your defenses and kickers until the last two rounds, since the sleeper picks for RBs and WRs (and even the odd QB or TE) are generally found past the 9th round, when everyone fills their benches. Use the waiver wire for the DEFs and Ks. Also, there’s no need to have backups for both.
- Avoid drafting rookies if possible, as well as anyone coming off a year off (injury or otherwise), since those players are coming into new system that they might be unfamiliar with.
- Please, for the love of god, don’t draft your favourite player higher than necessary. It will save the sanity of everyone in the draft room.
With that being said, here’s the unofficial official Cheat Sheet for the 2015 Fantasy Season, complete with a sidenote explaining their situation on the team and their general selection going forward. I’ll be publishing them intermittently as I go along each player.
(BTW I used the rankings of Fantasy Pros and just based my notes from there)
- Adrian Peterson, RB, MIN – A good back, but he has such a big question mark around him considering what happened last year that’s it’s difficult to use a first round pick over him.
- Jamaal Charles, RB, KC – Good back, but he has a knack for missing a game or two, and his numbers haven’t exactly been fantastic – 1000 yards last year, 1200 in 2013 – not exactly #1 overall numbers.
- Eddie Lacy, RB, GB – A solid back with consistent numbers in the best O-Line in the league. Definitely a consensus #1 pick.
- Le’Veon Bell, RB, PIT – If you don’t mind having a gaping hole in your lineup for the first two weeks of the season, Le’Veon certainly fits the bill. For me, he’s not worth the trouble relying on someone else, even a second round RB, for that long. Draft at your own risk.
- Marshawn Lynch, RB, SEA – Yes, last year was supposed to be the year he was supposed to regress, and although his form shows no signs of stopping, he sounds exactly like the guy who can quickly get up and walk away at any moment.
- Antonio Brown, WR, PIT – Deserving as the top WR in the Draft, Brown showed what he can do in the NFL. If Lacy is out of the running Brown is a good second option in the first round.
- Matt Forte, RB, CHI – Showed consistent numbers last year, and with Cutler regressing, Chicago can do nothing but run more.
- Arian Foster, RB, HOU – He’ll be relied on more given the lack of a QB in Houston – and that’s exactly the problem with Foster, as he’s an injury ticking time bomb. Draft with big caution. (EDIT: And now he pulls his groin in training camp. Who knew? Keep posted.)
- Dez Bryant, WR, DAL – Beware of the new contract syndrome in the NFL – especially for someone with an ego like Dez.
- C.J. Anderson, RB, DEN – He posted good numbers in Denver but never really showed that he could do so consistently. Remember Montee Ball last year?
- LeSean McCoy, RB, BUF – An aging RB in a team that isn’t generally known for their offence? No thanks.
- Aaron Rodgers, QB, GB – One of the best QBs in the league, definitely a great choice for a second round pick.
- Demaryius Thomas, WR, DEN – A lot of people are digging Peyton Manning after his drop in form to end the year, but don’t discount Demaryius – it’s not like he was Johnny freakin’ Manziel at QB, you know.
- Odell Beckham Jr, WR, NYG – Ever heard of the Madden Curse? This is one to avoid at all costs.
- Rob Gronkowski, TE, NE – A great Tight End, but nowhere near the value you would spend a second round pick on. Wait until the later rounds for your TE.
- Andrew Luck, QB, IND – No doubt the best QB last year, draft him if you’re lucky to do so.
- DeMarco Murray, RB, PHI – Ditto for DeMarco. Also consider the possibility of a committee back system considering Chip Kelly’s unstable decision making.
- Jeremy Hill, RB, CIN – In a weak RB draft class, Hill is a risk worth taking given his fresh talent and a potential 1-2 backfield with Giovani Bernard.
- Julio Jones, WR, ATL – A minor question mark given the injuries, though if there is a run on the WRs, he may be a risk worth taking.
- Calvin Johnson, WR, DET – Always a great player in the best of times, though clearly his dominating days as WR1 are clearly over.
- Jordy Nelson, WR, GB – By far Aaron Rodgers’ most reliable receiver. Definitely grab him if you can.
- AJ Green, WR, CIN – Also a very reliable receiver for the Bengals, be wary of his inconsistency though.
- Randall Cobb, WR, GB – Don’t believe the hype going into this season, because Randall is erratic. Sometimes he posts good numbers, other times he doesn’t.
- Alshon Jeffery, WR, CHI – Although he is now the undisputed #1 WR in Chicago, he has Jay Cutler as his QB, and he hasn’t shown that he can handle #1 WR numbers either. Best to wait on him.
- TY Hilton, WR, IND – Would have been the #1 WR had Andre Johnson not made an entrance for the team. Part of why Johnson came in the first place was Hilton’s tendency to drop easy catches, so draft at your own risk.
- Justin Forsett, RB, BAL – He just came off a career year last season, and now that he’s 29, an injury may bite. It’s a huge gamble taking Forsett, given that he wasn’t even on anybody’s radar before 2014.
- Mike Evans, WR, TB – Not worth the risk if you think Jameis Winston will bust this year. Not worth the risk anyways, given the sophomore curse.
- Jimmy Graham, TE, SEA – Another great TE, but still way too high a price to use a second/third round draft pick on him. Also consider that Seattle isn’t exactly the most receiver friendly place to be. There’s rumours of him blocking on a regular basis, which will certainly take away some of his targets.
- Peyton Manning, QB, DEN – Don’t get me wrong, Peyton is definitely on the downside. But if you manage to land this guy and there’s a dearth of QBs nearby, then Peyton is a safe bet. It’s not like the team suddenly fell into a hole – we still have Demaryius Thomas to depend on.
- Emmanuel Sanders, QB, DEN – With Welker and Julius Thomas gone, Sanders proves to get more yardage with a first-ballot HOFer.
- Mark Ingram, RB, NO – Like most Heisman winners, Ingram keeps building and disappointing expectations. Don’t expect much different with CJ Spiller trying to share the backfield.
- Alfred Morris, RB, WSH – Perhaps the only player on the team worth any mention given the lack of starpower on the teams’ offence. That’s not saying much, but sometimes a team is so bad it’s not worth trying to salvage anything from the players.
- Russell Wilson, QB, SEA – Again, if there’s a dearth of QBs, Wilson is a safe bet. If his passing yards are down he can always run with the ball. The read-option isn’t completely dead, mind you.
- Melvin Gordon, RB, SD – A good draft pick for San Diego for the future, but way too risky to draft now. Being a rookie, he comes in with a lot of unknowns.
- Kelvin Benjamin, WR, CAR – If you think Cam Newton will have a superstar season, that’s fine. But Benjamin is mainly unproven, even with his crazy stats last year.
- Frank Gore, RB, IND – Much better than Trent Richardson, but still an injury ticking time bomb. Also, Indy hasn’t had the best luck with old RBs – take Ahmed Bradshaw.
- Carlos Hyde, RB, SF – With Kaepernick regressing and the rest of the team being incompetent, Hyde is sure to get a lot of yardage this year. Even if he is high risk, there isn’t a lot of other RBs who got near 4.0 yards per attempt.
- Lamar Miller, RB, MIA – Remember the Miller hype last year? Yeah, I remember other owners being shamed with this pick. Don’t get fooled twice.
- DeAndre Hopkins, WR, HOU – If DeAndre got all that yardage last year with Ryan Fitzpatrick and company, imagine what he could do with the same QBs but with #1 status. The potential is huge.
- Brandin Cooks, WR, NO – This player made me look up what he did last year. He broke his thumb in week 11. That might not mean much, but his explosiveness is under question. In any case, he is a risky pick.
- Drew Brees, QB, NO – Don’t get worried that Brees lost his #1 receiver in Jimmy Graham, he’s still a very accurate QB. He’s been the most consistent QBs in the entire league.
- Jordan Matthews, WR, PHI – Beware anything Chip Kelly tries to tried to pull off this year. At least he had better stats than Brandin Cooks.
- Latavius Murray, RB, OAK – Until the Raiders O-Line shows signs of competence, don’t rely on Murray to be a successful fantasy back.
- Jonathan Stewart, RB, CAR – Inconsistency lives in Carolina, thanks to subpar numbers from this back last year. At least he did better than DeAngelo Williams.
- Andre Johnson, WR, IND – Take the same philosophy from DeAndre Hopkins – if he provides reasonable numbers with Fitzpatrick and company, imagine what he could do with Andrew Luck…
- DeSean Jackson, WR, WSH – Doesn’t help having RG3 as your only source of available fantasy stats.
- Julian Edelman, WR, NE – Could be worth drafting if there is a run on WR but there really isn’t that much to say about him. He isn’t exactly a player you expect 1200 yards a season from.
- Andre Ellington, RB, ARZ – Bottom line: Don’t even bother waiting for Ellington to perform. Too many injuries and bad luck at the O-line for this guy to work out.
- Greg Olsen, TE, CAR – Unlike Graham or Gronkowski, Olsen is a TE worth keeping due to the fact that he gets consistent points in each and every game. Draft him if you can.
- Sammy Watkins, WR, CAR – He’s a good receiver, but his QB situation is just awful – EJ Manuel anyone? Also beware the sophomore slump.
- Todd Gurley, RB, STL – Take Gordon’s problems and multiply them thanks to injuries. Definitely pass on this risky prospect…
- Amari Cooper, WR, OAK – It was a good draft pick for Oakland, but he will still have to get used to playing teams that are more evenly matched than the ones in college.
- Ben Roethlisberger, QB, PIT – Don’t believe the hype – last year was a mere mirage. Not saying that his supporting cast won’t provide big numbers, but Big Ben was never a consistent fantasy star.
- Travis Kelce, TE, KC – A poor man’s version of Greg Olsen. Draft only if you’re convinced that Alex Smith will throw to him often and consistently.
- Joseph Randle, RB, DAL – Looks to be the replacement for DeMarco Murray but he is simply too risky to entrust the entire workload on him.
- Keenan Allen, WR, SD – One of the fantasy bombs last year, it’s unclear where Keenan Allen goes from here. Best to wait on him while he tries to recover his form.
- Joique Bell, RB, DET – With an impending position battle with Ameer Abdullah it’s really hard where Bell is expected to go from here. Be cautious of his projected stats.
- Golden Tate, WR, DET – Did he really do anything of note with Detroit last year? Playing second fiddle to Calvin Johnson is a hard thing to do.
- TJ Yeldon, RB, JAC – Like any other rookie, best to wait on him until his form can be proven.
- Matt Ryan, QB, ATL – A good QB if you’re looking for someone who doesn’t throw a lot of picks. Nice and consistent as well, so it you ran out of luck in the first few rounds, Ryan is a good consolation prize.
- Tony Romo, QB, DAL – There’s no way knowing until the season starts if Romo’s form was luck, fluke, or a combination of both, but it’s best not to have him as your starter trying to figure that question out.
- Seattle Seahawks, DST – Really now. No reason why you should use up a pick this early on your defence. Be sensible people.
- Brandon Marshall, WR, NYJ – It’s obvious that Marshall is regressing, and it shows when your quarterback has inconsistency issues. Add his own inconsistency issues and he’s not a risk worth taking.
- LeGarrette Blount, RB, NE – He seems to have found his home in New England, but what does that mean exactly? Aside from near #1 status with Ridley and Vereen gone, he doesn’t pose much of a threat for upside numbers. Do look out for him if the Pats are in a playoff battle late in the season.
- Cam Newton, QB, CAR – Injuries and overall inconsistent play make for great comeback headlines, but not so much when you need a reliable QB.
- CJ Spiller, RB, NO – Finally free from the horrendous Buffalo O-Line, Spiller may finally show some of the promise he had. Too bad he will have to compete for touches in the backfield with Ingram.
- Martellus Bennett, TE, CHI – Could be worth drafting if you think there’s going to be a run on the position but Bennett doesn’t really show any reason why he deserves a 7th round pick.
- Jeremy Maclin, WR, KC – Who knows what might happen here given Alex Smith’s tendency to not throw the football. Not a risk worth taking.
- Julius Thomas, TE, JAC – So he went from taking passes from Peyton Manning to Blake Bortles in exchange for more money? Sounds legit.
- Tom Brady, QB, NE – Like him or not, it’s just crazy that a player with a 4-game suspension warrants a pick this high.
- Rashad Jennings, RB, NYG – Showing his age and some doubts as to whether or not he can put up big numbers again.
- Martavis Bryant, WR, PIT – Always a good addition to your team, despite the fact that he’s a sophomore. He’s a risk worth taking considering he has Big Ben as his Quarterback.
- Giovani Bernard, RB, CIN – The more consistent of the two backs at Cincy, make sure you grab at least one (if not, both, if you can) and spin the wheel on whichever one you think will put up better numbers.
- Jarvis Landry, WR, MIA – Who knows what might happen here. A sophomore WR who put up less than 800 yards last season? Don’t count me in.
- Vincent Jackson, WR, TB – If getting a rookie QB means an upgrade, there’s something horribly wrong there.
- Tevin Coleman, RB, ATL – If you’re seeing a trend, you’re right, and it definitely means letting rookie RBs show what they can do before getting drafted in fantasy.
- Darren McFadden, RB, DAL – A bit like Arian Foster, only not as good and more injury prone.
- Matthew Stafford, QB, DET – Could be a good backup (assuming you draft any of the recommended QBs above) but don’t depend on him as a starter.
- Buffalo Bills, DST – Again, come now. DSTs are not like WRs, they do NOT score points regularly.
- Houston Texans, DST – Ditto.
- Kevin White, WR, CHI – I really like this player, but I don’t trust him taking a lot of fantasy points this year, especially with Jeffery still around.
- Roddy White, WR, ATL – This is when gambling is starting to be worth it. At the eighth round, you can start taking players that are unknown for injury status but look good otherwise. White is one of those players. (It’s not like he’s had numerous injuries either.)
- Ryan Tannehill, QB, MIA – Like Stafford, he’s a good backup, only better. He shows real promise this year.
- Jason Witten, TE, DAL – He’s a Hall of Fame Tight End. He hasn’t missed a start since 2006. What could go wrong?
- Eli Manning, QB, NYG – Unlike his brother, Eli has a tendency to throw picks often. Don’t discount him entirely, though his supporting cast leaves much to be desired.
- Mike Wallace, WR, MIN – Remember Cordarrelle Patterson? Don’t trust Minnesota WRs even if you can.
- Isaiah Crowell, RB, CLE – Just because the Browns don’t have a QB doesn’t mean that he’ll automatically become good.
- Michael Floyd, WR, ARZ – Watch out for the hype train should it come along again in the future. His consistency leaves much to be desired. (UPDATE: Now that his fingers have broken, who knows what might happen when he returns. Broken fingers are more painful than you think.)
- Stephen Gostkowski, K, NE – Like defenses, kickers aren’t worth giving away early draft picks for. Given the new PAT rules, kickers may be worth even less than they were before.
- Christopher Ivory, RB, NYJ – Just don’t even think about drafting anyone from the Jets. This is a rebuilding year.
- Nelson Agholor, WR, PHI – His fantasy potential is harder to judge than it is to pronounce his name. Also take in the Chip Kelly factor.
- Brandon LaFell, WR, NE – I don’t know what it is with New England receivers, but his potential this season is just completely unappealing.
- Ameer Abdullah, RB, DET – See: Joique Bell, Rookie RB, Detroit Offence.
- Jordan Cameron, TE, CLE – Although he upgraded at QB, he still has to stay healthy to get fantasy points this season.
- Tre Mason, RB, STL – This kid lost his starting position to a rookie. Poor guy, it looked like he might get his chance soon.
- Victor Cruz, WR, NYG – Anyone who held him last year knew the feeling when they got burned by his knee injury last year. Who knows what might happen with him this year. Sad to see a good player go down with injuries.
- Zach Ertz, TE, PHI – Who’s the lead TE at Philly? At this point, I don’t even want to know. Ertz hasn’t really produced decent numbers at lead anyways.
- Allen Robinson, WR, JAC – A shade better than Justin Blackmon (when he wasn’t suspended), but that isn’t saying very much.
- Steve Smith, WR, BAL – Could be a good steal if there is a run on WRs. He isn’t very yardage worthy though he showed last year that he could still score touchdowns.
- St. Louis Rams, DST – So we go from winning teams with good defenses to losing teams with good defenses? Seems legit.
- Philip Rivers, QB, SD – He’s always a good sleeper QB pick should you somehow fall back on the draft. Consistency is key.
- Doug Martin, RB, TB – Now that his ADP has fallen down to a reasonable level, he’s considered good sleeper material. But watch out for any injury risks that might arise.
- Torrey Smith, WR, SF – He’s always had consistent numbers in Baltimore, so he should do better as the #1 receiver in San Francisco.
- Larry Fitzgerald, WR, ARZ – This future HOF receiver has his ADP fallen down, but don’t count out entirely on this star receiver. He can still make plays.
- Ryan Mathews, RB, PHI – He should get a few touches in a competitive backfield, but his durability is always under question.
- Shane Vereen, RB, NYG – He might take over from Rashad Jennings, but rumours persist that Vereen might just be another pass protector for Eli Manning. Doesn’t bode well for his fantasy stats.
- Charles Johnson, WR, MIN – Expected to be the #1 receiver after earning all of 475 yards last season, there’s no other reason why this Vikings receiver should earn our interest this season.
- Dwayne Allen, TE, IND – At the very least, just having Andrew Luck as his QB will make his stats better.
- Adam Vinatieri, K, IND – Like Gostkowski, there’s no reason why you should draft a kicker at all during the draft.
- Breshad Perriman, WR, BAL – We don’t even know if this guy is even going to be on the field, so this pick is very risky, even at this position.
- Owen Daniels, TE, DEN – Seen as a poor man’s Julius Thomas, Daniels is a good sleeper TE pick for those looking for Thomas’ replacement.
- Devonta Freeman, RB, ATL – Regressing numbers last season caused his ADP to drop, and competition from Tevin Coleman could complicate things.
- Antonio Gates, TE, SD – Even before the PED suspension, he was seen as a risky pick given his age. Now he’s completely avoidable.
- Arizona Cardinals, DST – Although this defense will be completely relied on if Carson Palmer goes down with injury again, it’s best to let someone else draft them this high.
- Eric Decker, WR, NYJ – To this day I will still maintain that it was a mistake to chase money to New York at Free Agency.
- Teddy Bridgewater, QB, MIN – A great sleeper pick for QB, he is a great prospect to have and will definitely aim high for the season. Much like a younger Russell Wilson.
- DeAngelo Williams, RB, PIT – Even with Le’Veon’s suspension, don’t count on DeAngelo to give some good numbers. There’s a reason why he left Carolina in the first place.
- Marques Colston, WR, NO – Showing his age and showing potential injury risk this season, I’m unsure how his season will go given all those factors.
- Joe Flacco, QB, BAL – Flacco was never really known as a fantasy star, given the fact that he manages the game more than any other QB on this list. If all else fails, however, draft Flacco as backup.
- Bishop Sankey, RB, TEN – His ADP has rightfully fallen after that silly hype last season. Given Tennessee’s inability to produce a good offence, it’s best to stay away.
- Colin Kaepernick, QB, SF – Although he does look like he’s regressing, he’s a good sleeper pick if only because he can run with the football pretty well.
- Anquan Boldin, WR, SF – Definitely worth a shout considering he manages to produce big numbers even against all odds.
- Reggie Bush, RB, SF – Don’t depend on Bush, especially with Carlos Hyde in the backfield.
- Green Bay Packers, DST – This defense has been unappealing, if not average. Definitely not worth a draft pick this high.
- Charles Sims, RB, TB – Worth a look as a sleeper considering that Doug Martin could remain ineffective or have injury troubles at any minute.
- New York Jets, DST – We go from average to downright silly. The team went 4-12 last year, so we expect them to rank in the Top 10 in defenses this year? Silly.
- Delanie Walker, WR, TEN – As with Sankey, he’s not worth the risk given the uncertainty on the entire offence in Tennessee.
- Philadelphia Eagles, DST – Two reasons why not to draft, and yes, I’ve mentioned them before; High ranked defense and Chip Kelly.
- Coby Fleener, TE, IND – Will be competing with Dwayne Allen for receptions at Indy, so he’s not exactly a sure thing even as a TE.
- Duke Johnson, RB, CLE – A little sorry for this kid, considering his future prospects; I just think of what happened the last time the Browns drafted a running back. Or just about anyone in general.
- Pierre Garcon, WR, WSH – He can certainly make plays still, but having RG3 as your Quarterback is certainly a problem.
- New England Patriots, DST – Not worth the risk considering they just lost Darrelle Revis in the off-season.
- Davante Adams, WR, GB – Although he is on a good team, he’s so far down the depth chart that he’s not really worth investigating.
- Montee Ball, RB, DEN – So this is what a post-hype year does to your ADP… (UPDATE: And now Gary Kubiak has made it clear he’s using C.J. Anderson as a bellcow. Not that you needed any more proof…)
- Percy Harvin, WR, BUF – There’s a reason why Harvin’s been on three teams within the past year, his personality clashes have drove every team he’s been on crazy.
- John Brown, WR, ARZ – Could be worth a look as a sleeper should any of the WRs go down with injury.
- Darren Sproles, RB, PHI – At this point even at a sleeper position it’s not worth looking at Sproles given the Chip Kelly factor.
- Jameis Winston, QB, TB – Really? Do people really have faith in Jameis this year? Everyone knows what happened to Johnny Manziel last year, right? You thought Johnny was bad, this guy’s got more incidents than you can buy crab legs at the store.
- Sam Bradford, QB, PHI – Even if he got the starting job right out of the gate, he’s still very risky given his numerous injuries since going #1 in 2010.
- Fred Jackson, RB, BUF – With LeSean McCoy on the team, there’s no doubt that his impact on the team is limited. Add that he’s 34 (!!!!) and he’s a sleeper worth snoozing on.
- Dan Bailey, K, DAL – At least he has a dome to help himself with. But it’s still too early to draft kickers. It’s always too early to draft kickers.
- Baltimore Ravens, DST – Since Ray Lewis retired the defense has not been the same. It’s still decent, but not one worth drafting.
- Jay Cutler, QB, CHI – I doubt he can have a worse season than the one he has last season but in terms of fantasy input, he’s definitely one player not to draft.
- Steven Hauschka, K, SEA – I remember him going early in drafts last year, despite not being in a dome at all. His ADP has rightfully went down. A good kicker, but still not worth the draft pick yet.
- Andre Wiliams, RB, NYG – With Rashad Jennings having injury risks all the time, Williams could make an impact on the team, and given his ADP and his potential to score touchdowns on the goal line, he’s worth a look. I wouldn’t draft him (unless there’s a run on RBs), but look out for him on the waiver wire.
- David Johnson, RB, ARZ – Although he is a rookie, he is second in the depth charts at Arizona, behind one injury prone running back…
- Terrance Williams, WR, DAL – Definitely worth a steal considering he is WR2 in the depth charts. Also consider the touchdown rate he has last year as well.
- Mason Crosby, K, GB – A kicker who plays in the coldest stadium in the league? No thank you.
- Kendall Wright, WR, TEN – Not worth looking in a shakier offence.
- Carson Palmer, QB, ARZ – Good QB, but always finds a knack for getting injured when things start to go right.
- David Cobb, RB, TEN – Best to wait on this fifth-round rookie until he shows he can get consistent yardage.
- Knile Davis, RB, KC – Look out for him if Jamaal Charles goes down with injury. For now, he’s not worth a draft pick.
- Devante Parker, WR, MIA – Best to wait until Miami shows they can win on a consistent basis.
- Miami Dolphins, DST – Ditto for their defence as well.
- Vernon Davis, TE, SF – It’s a miracle that he’s still playing given his age, but if you’re looking for a deep sleeper this is the player to get.
- Josh Hill, TE, NO – Yes, he’s not going to get the same amount of receptions as Jimmy Graham did, but he’s still worth the look, and it’s not like they can’t throw to him either.
- Alex Smith, QB, KC – Dude, when was the last time you could depend on him to throw the football consistently?
- Dan Carpenter, K, BUF – Like Crosby, he’s got an open-air stadium in the north… Not ideal in the winter time. Should have stayed in Miami.
- Justin Tucker, K, BAL – Ditto for this guy. Not much else to say about him really.
- Marcus Mariota, QB, TEN – A better work ethic than Jameis Winston, but his O-Line is much shakier.
- Cody Latimer, WR, DEN – Definitely worth a steal or a waiver wire pickup, considering Peyton Manning’s ability to make obscure WRs into stars.
- Nick Foles, QB, STL – Don’t expect his 27-2 TD/INT ratio to replicate itself here in St. Louis.
- Denver Broncos, DST
- Carolina Panthers, DST – Not much to say here. You can draft any defense you want from here, just make sure they’re facing against easy opponents.
- Jay Ajayi, RB, MIA – Wait until he actually does something during a game before jumping on the hype bandwagon.
- Danny Woodhead, RB, SD – Can this guy stay healthy? He’s a good RB, but his injury problems seem to have gotten the better of him…
- Derek Carr, QB, OAK – Is this what Mariota and Winston have to look forward to in their sophomore year? All I can say is watch out.
- Dallas Cowboys, DST
- Andy Dalton, QB, CIN – Ok folks, if you don’t have at least two QBs by now then you’re in deep trouble.
- Connor Barth, K, KC
