2019 Fantasy Football Team Previews: Green Bay Packers
It's funny that Aaron Rodgers has had the same coach for his entire prolific career and only last year was it "clearly all Mike McCarthy's fault" that the Packers fell apart. People blame the play calling, but Aaron Rodgers had one of the highest rates of changing the plays at scrimmage of all QB's in 2018. Hmm. Well, Rodgers got his new coach, Matt LaFleur, who has worked under some great minds. But, his two years as an OC (one with the Rams, the other with the Titans) can certainly be deemed a mixed bag.Of course,…
2019 Fantasy Football Team Previews: Baltimore Ravens
The Joe Flacco Era ended in 2018, and the Lamar Jackson Era began. There's no denying Jackson has the ability to to be game wrecker due to his unique athleticism. The looming question is whether or not he can evolve into a reliable passer in the NFL. I for one am sick of hearing this. The same thing was said about Randall Cunningham, Mike Vick and a host of others with similar gifts. Holding Jackson to a higher standard than any other young QB just because he's more mobile than most isn't fair. Josh Allen has nearly the same…
2019 Fantasy Football Team Previews: Cleveland Browns
The hype is in overdrive but are there enough touches to go around?
2019 Fantasy Football Team Previews: Cincinnati Bengals
With a new offense and new coach, does that change anything for the main fantasy options in Cincinnati?
2019 Fantasy Football Team Previews: Pittsburgh Steelers
Last year, the Steelers went forward without Le'Veon Bell. This year, they'll be going forward without Antonio Brown. Pittsburgh has said goodbye to plenty of talented skill position players in the past, but never two of this magnitude in back-to-back years. Never. It's been long discussed after D'Angelo Williams and then James Conner had good runs that the offensive system is what's making the stars, not the player themselves. Plaxico Burress left and Santonio Holmes stepped up. Then Holmes left and Brown became a star.…
2019 Fantasy Football Team Previews: Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys have once again returned to relevance, both in fantasy and reality. After a 3-5 start, Dallas made the playoffs and won their first playoff game since 2014. They overpaid for Amari Cooper, but he had enough big moments to make that pill easier to swallow. Leighton Vander Esch had a terrific rookie season and Jaylon Smith emerged as a stud. There's plenty of reason for optimism in Big D. But will expectations get the better of them in 2019? More importantly, what can they offer our fantasy teams?Joe has…
2019 Fantasy Football Team Previews: Washington Redskins
Injuries have ravaged the Redskins the last few years on both sides of the ball. Now, that's not a complete excuse for their recent shortcomings, but it's difficult to get an idea of what this team is when the team itself is never at full strength. Alex Smith's season (and probably career) came to a sad ending and they're now in full rebuild mode after this year's draft. However, there are some cracks of sunshine making their way to the field for Washington in 2019, that could also bring with it some much-needed fantasy…
2019 Fantasy Football Team Preview: New York Giants
To say Giants fans were unhappy with the off-season would be a gross understatement of epic proportions. As an organization, they seem to be stuck in purgatory, pretending they can contend, but constructing a roster ill-suited to do so. It's never easy to rebuild or even retool in New York, but the Giants of the past have always been the stable brother of New York football teams. Chaos is usually reserved for little brother Gang Green. However, in recent years, dysfunction has crept into an otherwise historically sound…
