The 2014 season got off to a rough start for LeGarrette Blount. He played little behind Le’Veon Bell in Pittsburgh and then was released after leaving the field early during a game with Tennessee.
That led Blount back to New England, where Bill Belichick installed him as the starting RB during a Super Bowl run.
Blount must serve a one-game suspension at the start of this season. Will his performance the rest of the way be helpful to fantasy footballers? Or will past sins pop up in the present?
In 2013, Doug Martin burst onto the scene with Tampa Bay, looking like he was going to be the Bucs’ bell cow back well into the future.
Injuries and talent issues have hampered his efforts the last two seasons. But this preseason he has looked rejuvenated. Can the presence of an exciting rookie QB and some talented skill players help Martin reclaim the glory it appeared he was destined to achieve?
Or is the preseason a tease that will quickly turn into regular season disappointment yet again?
After waiting a year-and-a-half, Raiders fans finally got a look at Latavius Murray last season – and he produced … when he could stay on the field.
Murray put up 424 yards and two scores on 82 carries, adding 17 receptions in the pass game. Observers are raving about how he’s looked so far during training camp. Will he help revive the moribund Raiders’ franchise? Or will he turn out to be another tease?
The New York Jets were a bad team in 2014 and it cost coach Rex Ryan his job. Some would argue he may have given himself a better chance to stick around if he had played Chris Ivory more.
Despite being on the short-end of a timeshare, Ivory put up more than 700 yards rushing and scored five TDs, while averaging 5.2 yards per carry. With Chris Johnson gone, does Ivory show he can handle the full load by himself? Or will a new coaching staff find another backfield partner that will keep him from reaching the peak of his potential?
Jimmy Graham has averaged 85 catches and scored 35 TDs over the last three seasons. Despite rock solid consistent production, however, the Saints traded their star TE to Seattle during the offseason for a center and a first-round draft pick.
Does he become the red zone target the Seahawks need to take the offense to the next level? Or will his production slide on a team known more for pounding the ball with Marshawn Lynch on the ground?
