FANTASY WORLD
As an OSU grad, it hurt to see the news about Justin Blackmon. Maybe the Jaguars will put in place similar restrictions the ...
A couple thoughts with fantasy drafts just four months away.
Is Eddie Lacy the only back worth a pick?
Absolutely ...
No one thought Adrian Peterson was going to be 100 percent, much less get 9 yards away from breaking Eric Dickerson’s single ...
The AP is reporting that the Jacksonville Jaguars are going to play multiple home games in London beginning in 2013.
Wow.
A press conference is scheduled for tomorrow, but the Jags aren't saying what the reason is.
Let me go ahead and say I think this is not a great idea. Nothing like having your players and coaches living in two cities that are separated by an ocean.
The AP mentions that the new owner has said he wants to increase the team's brand globally.
Let me take a stab at this brand campaign: Hey, globe. We aren't a very good football team. Spread the word.
This sounds like a scheduling nightmare but if one team is going to do it, another one is right behind. Justin Blackmon, who looked pretty good the other night, and his teammates will have some jet lag to deal with on top of aches and pains next season.
The commissioner doesn't want it to be the National Football League anymore. Just when I thought they had a good thing going, too.
Other fantasy notes ...
I am not liking Peyton Manning. I am downgrading everyone who catches a ball in Denver. Those ducks Manning are shooting off are staying in the air too long. Yes, he got hit and got back up. But I would avoid.
I am not liking newly named starters Jake Locker or Ryan Tannehill. Don't draft either one of these guys. Chris Johnson I think will hold up his draft value because they will run every play.
I am not liking the Cardinals offense either. With Levi Brown going down for the year, you are looking at the worst offensive line in football. Some starters are undrafter free agents who just got a locker. Avoid. Avoid.
I am liking Malcolm Floyd a lot more now. Vincent Brown is now out until maybe November, so Floyd is now your No. 1 guy. He knows the offense. This team is going to throw it a lot.
I am liking Andrew Luck. He's not a No. 1 fantasy QB, but he is someone who can turn in three touchdowns a game for your starter's bye week. Draft him late as your No. 2, following my new rule this year that you need a great QB and a good one with the threat of injuries being so high this season. Reggie Wayne is going to be a monster this season.
I am liking Michael Bush and Peyton Hillis. Both of these guys are scoring more than 10 touchdowns this season. Hillis can catch the ball, so he might be a really good No. 2 running back. Bush is someone who may not get enough touches to reach that point.
I am not liking the Dallas Cowboys. Defense might be decent, but the offense is thin as a pancake. Word today was Dez Bryant going in for an MRI after injuring himself in practice.
I am liking Titus Young and his place on the field. He's out in space across from Calvin Johnson who might be battling the Madden Curse all season long.
I am liking Houston's defense and the ability for kicker returner Trindon Holliday to score some TDs. Wow.
I am not liking the Pittsburgh offense. Sorry, but it's the Chiefs offense from last year with less talent. I'll say that no one is draftable on the Steelers and I don't mind being on that island by myself.
