#87 2012– Shayne Graham K Houston Texans- Graham scored the most points of his career while missing the most field goals of his career in his first season with the Texans. Granted most of the misses were from 45 yards or deeper but this is 2013 and NFL kickers have to make these kicks.  The Texans offense creates a lot of chances so whether it’s Graham or someone else whoever kicks for the Texans is a good option for your franchise.

Retro #87– 2002 Troy Brown WR New England Patriots- 97 catches for 890 yards and 3 Td’s  Brown was a perfect fit for the Patriots offense and was a decent backup fantasy Wr.  Brown’s best season was 2001 and his stats slipped every year after, but he has some Super Bowl rings

2013 Look Ahead

ESPN– Ryan Matthews RB San Diego Chargers- Will Matthews potential and production ever come together. Matthews looks like he could be a total stud but never puts a whole season together.  Matthews has to be a Top 5 player traded in our dynasty league over the past three years.

CBS Sportsline– Dennis Pitta TE Baltimore Ravens- Pitta was a hot property early in the season then his productions cooled off dramatically.  Pitta was on the Ravens Super Bowl team so the last thing people see usually effects draft status.
