NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Kansas City Chiefs
What a difference a quarterback makes. Second-year QB Patrick Mahomes became the Chiefs starter and immediately made this team into a force in fantasy football. The excitement that he brings to the game goes without saying. His season was one of the best in league history (5.097 yards and 52 total TDs). He was a... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Los Angeles Rams
Even though the Rams' season ended in a disappointing Super Bowl loss to the Patriots, this team enjoyed a fruitful 2019. The offense was one of the more explosive in the league, headed by Jared Goff and the passing attack. Goff continues to improve as a passer each year (4,688 yards and 34 total TDs)... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Los Angeles Chargers
Lost in all the hoopla of the season put together by the Kansas City Chiefs was yet another solid year from Philip Rivers and the Chargers. Although he finished just outside of QB1 range (QB13) by season's end, there were many weeks in which Rivers was a justifiable starter in fantasy. In fact, in nine... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Indianapolis Colts
Andrew Luck returned to the Colts lineup in 2018 and immediately increased the value of numerous players on this offense. The biggest contributors of his QB5 finish (4,593 yards and 39 TDs) were T.Y. Hilton and often ridiculed Eric Ebron. Hilton was back to his old ways as a weekly starter with consistent production while... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Philadelphia Eagles
A year after the franchise's first Super Bowl win, the 2018 season was a bit of a letdown. The offense struggled to maintain any form of consistency. Carson Wentz fell back to the pack last season with a solid but not spectacular performance. In fact, the team seemed to rally as a whole once Nick... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Houston Texans
A team that feels like they are on the verge of taking another step, the Houston Texans, are coming off a disappointing playoffs loss last season. Things were going well in the regular season, but running into the hot Colts team sent them home. Deshaun Watson and this passing attack have all the makings of... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Baltimore Ravens
Big changes hit the Baltimore Ravens mid-season in 2018. The switch at quarterback from Joe Flacco to Lamar Jackson was appropriately timed and sent this team to the playoffs. Jackson took over the full-time duties in Week 11 and was the ninth-best QB in fantasy over that span. His eye-popping 558 rushing yards paced the... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Seattle Seahawks
Given the talent on the roster, the Seattle Seahawks actually overachieved in 2018. Something has to be said for this coaching staff for what they got from the likes of Chris Carson and the group of receivers. Some of the praise should, of course, be shifted to Russell Wilson. Although the passing yardage wasn't there,... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Pittsburgh Steelers
The 2018 season was one of discord for the Pittsburgh Steelers, one that played out for all eyes to see. With Le'Veon Bell choosing to sit out the entire season due to a contract dispute, Ben Roethlisberger put together his best statistical season to date (5,129 yards and 37 total TD, 456.10 FP). Although the... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Tennessee Titans
After a late surge to make the playoffs in 2017, the 2018 season was a lost one for the Titans. The "franchise" quarterback, Marcus Mariota, had an extremely subpar year. He was constantly battling injuries and could only muster a finish as QB26 in fantasy (2,528 yards and 13 total TD). Even though he was... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Minnesota Vikings
When it comes to Kirk Cousins' first season in Minnesota, mixed reviews would probably be the description. Although he finished as QB9 in fantasy (4,298 yards and 31 total TDs), much more was expected from not only fantasy owners but the Vikings fans themselves. His weekly performances were all over the place. He had five... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Carolina Panthers
The 2018 season was a lost one for the Carolina Panthers. It was apparent that Cam Newton was playing hurt towards the end of the season, likely costing this team a shot at the playoffs. The overall numbers were respectable for Newton (3,395 yards and 28 total TD) but during the fantasy playoffs, he disappeared... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins are another intriguing team heading towards the NFL Draft. After the injury to Alex Smith sent them scrambling for a QB, the team decided to trade for Case Keenum, who disappointed in his only year in Denver. Keenum, assuming he starts, will not have much to work with on the outside. Gone... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Atlanta Falcons
The 2018 Atlanta Falcons were a Jekyll and Hyde team. On offense, they were among the league's best in moving the ball (sixth in total yards) but on defense, they could not stop anyone (25th in 26.4 PPG allowed). Matt Ryan rebounded in a big way from a poor 2017 (4,923 yards with 38 total... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Miami Dolphins Outlook
Another team looking at new beginnings is the Miami Dolphins. Adam Gase is off to New York and Ryan Tannehill will be the backup QB in Tennessee. Replacing them is former Patriots defensive coordinator Bryan Flores and the team signed Ryan Fitzpatrick to be the bridge to another franchise QB. The question will be just... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Green Bay Packers Outlook
The 2018 season for the Green Bay Packers proved to be a waste of yet another great statistical season for Aaron Rodgers (4,442 yards and 27 total TDs). The team seemed to be playing uninspired football under what proved to be Mike McCarthy's final season as head coach. Enter new HC Matt LaFleur, whose name... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Cincinnati Bengals Outlook
The Cincinnati Bengals are on the verge of a full-on rebuild beginning in 2019. New HC Zac Taylor inherits a team that is a mix of talented young players with aging veterans needing to be replaced. One of which is Andy Dalton. Dalton, who has flashed potential over the years, is in dire need of... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Denver Broncos Outlook
The winds of change have hit the mile high city. Gone are Vance Joseph and Case Keenum, enter Vic Fangio and Joe Flacco. Flacco seems more like a bridge to the next franchise quarterback rather than a player that Fangio will be hanging his career on. Flacco is obviously on the downside of his career... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Buffalo Bills Outlook
Although the way the season unraveled for the Buffalo Bills, the argument can be made that this a team headed in the right direction. They have likely found their quarterback of the future in Josh Allen, while also sporting a young and improving defense. Just two years removed from a playoff appearance, with just a... Read More
NFL Draft 32 for 32 - Detroit Lions Outlook
The first year of the Matt Patricia era for the Detroit Lions did not go exactly as planned. The team struggled on both sides of the ball, while Matthew Stafford (3,777 yards, 21 TDs, 11 INTs) had his worst statistical season since 2012. There seemed to be a disconnect between Patricia and now departed OC... Read More
