2012 #82- T.Y. Hilton WR Indianapolis Colts- What a rookie season by Hilton and probably one of the best free agent pickups in your league.  Hilton after 8 weeks of average performance blew up the 2nd half of the season along with Andre Luck and the entire Colts organization. Hilton gets the privilege of having Reggie Wayne on the other side usually taking the #1 cornerback. Hilton scored 7 touchdowns and all of them were after Week #9!

Retro #82 2002-Todd Heap TE Baltimore Ravens- Heap never was in the upper echelon of Tight Ends but if you waited in your draft to pick one up he was always dependable to give you points weekly.

Look ahead #82

ESPN-Jeremy Maclin WR Philadelphia Eagles- Like we said yesterday Maclin is a huge question mark with the Chip Kelly offense.  What do you think about the Philly offense? Do you like the Philly offense or only take McCoy?

CBS Sports- Mark Ingram RB New Orleans Saints- The former Heisman award winner could become a much bigger factor in 2013 with the return of Sean Payton as Head Coach.  Ingram has the potential to become a TD machine or he could just be a bust. This really is the season to determine if Ingram is a fantasy star or  bust.

2012 #83- Justin Tucker PK  Baltimore Ravens- Tucker was a better option at the beginning of the season than later when the offense started scoring touchdowns.  Tucker like most kickers are a coin flip in the later rounds of fantasy drafts but Joe Flacco and Ray Rice should be able to move chains and put points on the board so Tucker should be at least an option when it’s time to take your kicker.

Retro #83 2002- Jay Feely PK Atlanta Falcons- Yep #83 is all kickers.  Feely was still kicking away in 2012, but the one thing I remember in 2002 was him missing kicks against the Bears in Week #2!

A Look Ahead #83

ESPN-Miles Austin- As discussed yesterday Austin has gone from the penthouse to #2 option in the Cowboys offense due to the presence of Dez Bryant.  If you’re in a deep league Austin is a good #3 option at WR but if you’re in a 10-team league only time Austin will see your starting lineup will be bye weeks.

CBS Sports- Jeremy Maclin- The question for Maclin and DeSean Jackson is how will Chip Kelly’s offense affect their production.  Maclin for the past two years even though regarded as the #2 option really was the #1 WR in Philly.

2012 #84 Miles Austin- WR Dallas Cowboys- Remember when Austin was the #1 target for Tony Romo and a real fantasy monster? Yep, that was 2009 Pre-Dez Bryant.  Austin now is the #2 guy in Big D and unless Bryant gets hurt Miles will only be a guy you want to start in deep leagues or flex position.  Austin stats last season were ok 66 catches 943 yards and 6 touchdowns.  His best game was Week #8 against the NY Giants when he had 9 catches for 133 yards.  Miles never scored  20 fantasy points in a week in 2012

Retro #84- 2002 Joey Galloway-WR Dallas Cowboys- Galloway had a very nice career but he was fantasy football fools gold.  He could have a huge game 7-122-2TD’s or go 1-9 yards.  He was frustrating to own because the weeks you needed him to produce he would always seem to find a way to disappoint.

Look Ahead 2013 #84

ESPN- DeSean Jackson- I’ve had Jackson in both my dynasty leagues since he entered the league and he’s a lot like Galloway.  Frustrating and seems to become less productive in fantasy football.  We will see if Kelly improves him or ends is fantasy value.

CBS Sports- Stevie Johnson- Johnson will have a new QB throwing the ball to him and probably a whole new offense so he is a truly a huge question mark going into 2013. Johnson though productive is always one of those character guys that I avoid. I know what you like and dislike can cost you in fantasy football but knuckle heads always seem to lose in the end.

#85 2012- Mark Sanchez QB New York Jets 2883 yards passing 13 Td’s 18 Int’s I’m pretty sure that Sanchez could be the worst fantasy QB of all-time. I really can’t believe he even showed up in the Top 95 but it shows how many points QB’s get consistently if they start all year even in a terrible offense.

Retro #85 2002- Curtis Conway WR New York Jets Conway stacks in a lot of Chicago Bears all-time receiving records but this was on the downward slide of his career with the Jets. He caught 57 Balls for 852 yards and 5 Td’s. Conway didn’t play the last 6 weeks of the season and was actually in line for a huge year before he was injured.

2013 Look Ahead #85

ESPN- Mike Williams- WR Tampa Bay Bucs Williams had an inconsistent season but still managed 918 yards receiving but only 5 Td’s with most the big plays going to Vincent Jackson. Williams and the Bucs offense needs show progress but they are very frustrating to watch at times.

CBS Sportsline- Tavon Austin- WR St Louis Rams CBS is higher on Austin than ESPN but a lot of people like Austin for the sole reason there isn’t many other options for Bradford to throw to in 2013.

#86 2012- Jeremy Maclin WR Philadelphia Eagles 69 catches 857 yars 7 Td’s  Maclin has been very consistent under Andy Reid, but now Chip Kelly has the keys to the Eagles offense and Kelly likes to run the ball.  Besides Kelly’s offense there is the question on who will be throwing the ball in Mike Vick or Nick Foles.  Lots of questions and plenty of reasons to avoid Eagles receivers this season.

Retro #86 2002- Atlanta Falcons Defense- 48 sacks 24 interceptions 15 forced fumbles and 2 Td’s  The Falcons always seem to be a defense if you pick up they don’t win weeks or lose weeks for you which is pretty vanilla.

2013 Look Ahead #86

ESPN- Josh Gordon Wr Cleveland Browns The Browns were very competitive so expect more of the same and better stats from Gordon.  The one thing most owners will want to see is a few more TD’s this year than the 5 Gordon collected in 2012.

CBS Sportsline-Danario Alexander-WR San Diego Chargers- Alexander and Malcom Floyd are big targets but both need Phillip Rivers to rediscover whatever he has been missing the past few years to make them fantasy stars instead of #2 and #3 options.

#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.

#88 2012- Torrey Smith WR Baltimore Ravens 49 catches 855 yards 8 TD’s. With Anquan Boldin leaving town it will be Smith’s show and after his sensational playoff run expect Smith to go higher than his production would warrant in most drafts.  Smith is a home run hitter so if you are in a point per reception league he’s not your man.

Retro #88- 2002 Jim Miller 1944 yards passing 13 Td’s 9 Int’s Even though Miller would stick around the NFL for a few years the one time Bears QB threw his last pass in 2002 a year after the Bears improbable playoff run that ended when Hugh Douglas ended Miller’s season in the playoffs.  Miller never was really a fantasy option but of course he was my backup QB in 2002 until he lost his starting job.

A Look Ahead 2013

ESPN-Isaiah Pead RB St Louis Rams- This is purely a guess between him and Darryl Richardson on who will be RB1 in St Louis with the departure of Stephen Jackson.  Pead is suspended for Week 1.

CBS Sportsline-Mikel LeShoure RB Detroit Leshoure should be ready for training camp but now will have to deal with Reggie Bush in the backfield. LeShoure will more than likely be the short yardage guy in 2013 so in TD leagues he could be a valuable backup.

Our dog days are at #89 and today’s player didn’t live up to pre-season expectations even though his stats when looking at them were not that bad.

2012 #89- Brandon Lloyd Wr New England Patriots 158 points 74 catches for 911 yards and 4 TD’s.  Lloyd had a decent year but when he signed on to catch balls from Tom Brady many had Lloyd penciled in as a Top 10 fantasy receiver which didn’t materialize.

Retro #89- 2002 Tennesse Titans Defense- The Titans finished with 40 sacks 14 interceptions 11 forced fumbles and 4 Td’s.  They came on during the 2nd half of the season scoring double digits in 5 out of the last 8 weeks.

2013 Look Ahead #89

ESPN- Andre Brown RB New York Giants- With Bradshaw gone Brown will have a chance to carry the ball along with David Wilson. He will be the short yardage, goal line guy for the G-men. Brown scored 8 TD’s from 2 yards or closer.

CBS Sportsline- Mike Wallace WR Miami Dolphins A new address and a whole lot of unknown down in Miami for Wallace.  Will they be able to get Wallace the ball enough to make Wallace startable week in and week out or just a spot starter depending on the matchup?
