Denver Broncos: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
For a team with an offense as potent as the Denver Broncos, they had quite the number of personnel concerns this offseason. Both wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas had contract concerns while Peyton Manning’s NFL future was in question due to a whimpering performance toward the end of 2014. With Demaryius […]

When Cam Newton Gets Pissed, We All Win
Let’s face it: most of us claim that we’d rather drink bleach through a straw, made entirely out of thorns, than watch preseason football (that means absolutely nothing) or pay attention to training camps. But we secretly are thanking the NFL gods that our eyes get to feast upon clashing helmets once again. One thing […]
For Christ Sakes Jets, Seriously? Geno Smith Sucker Punched
Good news guys. The New York Jets are still a joke! Linebacker Ikemefuna “I.K.” Enemkpali has been cut by the laugh out loud team after cold-cocking quarterback Geno Smith during a locker room altercation, breaking the latter’s jaw and putting him out of commission for the next six to ten weeks. According to a tweet […]
Kansas City Chiefs: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
Coming off of a year in which they didn’t throw a single touchdown pass to a wide receiver, the Kansas City Chiefs brought in Jeremy Maclin in the hopes of boosting the offense. Alex Smith may not be the most spectacular quarterback in the NFL, but between the addition of Maclin, superstar running back Jamaal Charles, […]
Indianapolis Colts: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
The Indianapolis Colts are firmly in the conversation for the most fantasy relevant team in the entire NFL. Between them, the Packers, Steelers, Broncos, and a few others, they possess some of the most obvious automatic starters in any sized league. There are few teams that can afford to lose talent at skill positions and […]
Marcus Mariota Has Yet to Throw an Interception at Camp, Which Basically Means Crap
Observing NFL training camps is a hoot. Fans claw desperately at minuscule factoids in order to satisfy their thirst for football, even if the factoids mean absolute wrinkled balls on a stale cracker. Speaking of which, it’s widely known that rookie Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has yet to throw an interception at training camp. […]
Seattle Seahawks: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
The Seattle Seahawks made one of the biggest splashes of the offseason by acquiring tight end Jimmy Graham from the New Orleans Saints. Despite being a fairly heavy run-based offense, this is a team that needed a big pass catching option, a void that should easily be filled with Graham. Between Graham, Russell Wilson, and […]
2015 Early-Round Draft Strategy For Fantasy Football
In most fantasy football leagues, your draft position is going to be either entirely random or dependent on where you finished in the previous year. It’s essential to have a game plan no matter where you’re drafting from, because a good draft strategy can put you in a position to win your league from Day […]
Minnesota Vikings: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
One of the biggest stories of the 2014 NFL season was that of Adrian Peterson missing 15 games as a result of an off-field incident involving one of his children. There was a ton of off-season speculation regarding the relationship between Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings, most of which centered around whether or not he […]
Baltimore Ravens: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
The Baltimore Ravens are a bit of a strange team to analyze for fantasy purposes this year. This is a team that pretty much has a little bit of everything; a polarizing quarterback in Joe Flacco, a surprising running back from 2014 in Justin Forsett, some turnover at the wide receiver position, and a need […]
Eli Manning (QB, NYG) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
BALLER MOVE: Target in Middle Rounds as Low-End QB1 CURRENT ADP: 84 STD ANALYSIS: The stage is set for Eli Manning to post top-five QB numbers in 2015. Last season, Manning finished in the top 10 among fantasy quarterbacks despite injuries to then-top WR Victor Cruz and big free agent acquisition Geoff Schwartz, among others. Manning owns one of […]
Tennessee Titans: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
Is there a franchise with more trendy rookie sleepers than the Tennessee Titans over the last few years? Seemingly every year the Titans happen to draft a player that generates buzz. Whether it’s Bishop Sankey or Justin Hunter, someone always ends up in Tennessee with fantasy hype, and this year is no different. You'll notice […]
Green Bay Packers: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
I don’t think I’m revealing any sort of groundbreaking insight by stating that the Green Bay Packers are by far the greatest source of fantasy production in the NFL. Still, there are some things to sort out in regard to the big four of Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, and Eddie Lacy. It’s not really […]
The Continuing Decline of Colin Kaepernick in 2015
While Colin Kaepernick is a name that most fantasy football fans are familiar with, he might not be a name that is as relevant as he has been in years past. In a standard scoring league, there are an increasing amount of reasons why Kaepernick will further his decline in the 2015 season. Editor’s Note: If […]
San Diego Chargers: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers used to be one of the more reliable sources for fantasy points. Players have come and gone in San Diego, with really only Rivers and tight end Antonio Gates remaining. Even with a dip in production across the board, this is a team that has managed to stay […]
Fantasy Football 12-Team Mock Draft: Results and Reactions
I recently did a mock draft on ESPN, and I thought I would share the results here and discuss some of the picks I liked and didn’t like. I’ll only discuss the first 12 rounds, as after that some people auto-drafted or took defenses and kickers (as many casual players are wont to do). My […]
Game of Thrones: Roger Goodell Upholds Tom Brady’s Suspension
Stop me if you've heard this joke before: So Tom Brady's phone and Ray Lewis' white suit walk into a bar... NFL commissioner and Darth Vader twin Roger Goodell upheld the four game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for his role in the unfortunately famous Ballgazi after it was revealed by sources […]
Chicago Bears: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
To say that the Chicago Bears had a disappointing 2014 season would be a massive understatement. In just two short seasons, head coach Marc Trestman went from quarterback guru to “get him out of here, now!” status. The team has even departed with longtime wide receiver Brandon Marshall. You would think the last two years […]
Houston Texans: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
It wasn’t that long ago that the Houston Texans were a trendy pick to make the AFC Championship game with some even projecting a Super Bowl appearance. It’s been a long time since and the only true piece remaining in Houston is running back Arian Foster. If anything, the team’s drop in real-life hype has […]
Sam Bradford (QB, PHI) - 2015 Fantasy Football Sleeper
CURRENT ADP: ~133 Overall (QB 17) BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds as QB2 ANALYSIS: Sam Bradford was the first overall pick in 2010 and was set to be the franchise quarterback of the St. Louis Rams. His career to date has been riddled with injuries, and with a sub-par supporting cast in St. Louis, Bradford never lived […]
Is Eli Manning Ready to Become an Elite Fantasy QB in 2015?
While Eli Manning is criminally underrated year after year, you should be smarter than to pass on Eli in 2015. The stage is set for Eli to post top-5 QB numbers and Eli has never floundered on a big stage. If your interpretation of Eli’s fantasy value is still dictated by his 27-interception campaign, perhaps […]
Marcus Mariota Signs With That One Team Everyone Forgets Exists
After doing their best impression of the invisible man this past decade, the Tennessee Titans took off their glasses and pulled down their ponytail to reveal that they are no longer the plain, four-eyed nerdy girl everyone overlooks – they’re now just the plain girl with freaking contact lenses and a complexion issue. The Titans […]
Carolina Panthers: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
Ever since Cam Newton entered the league in 2011, the Carolina Panthers have had one of the more exciting offenses both in real-life football and in fantasy. The Panthers have even managed to make the playoffs the last two years in spite of Newton’s dip in volume numbers. Between the addition of Kelvin Benjamin and […]
Buffalo Bills: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
Hear that sound? That’s Rex Ryan yammering about how good the Bills are going to be all the way from New York to Buffalo. Jokes aside, the Buffalo Bills should be a much-improved team in the upcoming season. New head coach Rex Ryan might get picked on for how boisterous he was while coaching the New […]
St. Louis Rams: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
Let’s face it, the St. Louis Rams don’t exactly boast the flashiest offense in the NFL. Between the derailment of the Tavon Austin hype train and an unexpected quarterback carousel, the Rams have been nothing more than forgettable since the start of last season. That being said, the team’s ground game is a major point […]
Arizona Cardinals: 2015 Fantasy Football Analysis and Team Outlook
The Arizona Cardinals made an expected leap within in the NFC in the 2014 season. Unfortunately, injuries just hammered the roster resulting in the Cardinals going out with a whimper rather than a bang. There’s reason for optimism, however, as the team should be healthier heading into 2015. A clean bill of health might be […]
