Many have long thought Jonathan Stewart was a superior RB to DeAngelo Williams in Carolina. He’ll now get a chance to prove it.
Stewart’s career started promisingly, as he notched 10 TDs in each of his first two seasons. Injuries and timeshares have taken a toll on his numbers the last five years – he’s scored just 10 times combined during that span.
So will Williams’ exit to Pittsburgh refuel Stewart’s fantasy mojo? Or will his better days prove behind him?
Martavis Bryant exploded onto the fantasy football scene in week seven of 2014, scoring six TDs in his first four games. He finished with eight TDs on just 26 receptions.
With so much upside, but so little to base conclusions on, there’s a fair amount of disagreement over where he should be drafted this season. ESPN has him going at 91.9, or WR33, while Fantasy Football Calculator has him going in the fifth round of 10 team leagues.
Will he continue progressing into a star? Or will teams figure out how to minimize the impact he has and turn him into a one-year wonder?
DeMarco Murray was fantastic in 2014. Dallas took the training wheels off and gave Murray the keys to the car. He produced to the tune of more than 2,200 total yards and 13 touchdowns. Then the Cowboys cut him loose and let him sign with Philadelphia.
So, did Murray finally figure it out? Is he joining the truly elite of NFL running backs? Will he make Dallas regret its decision to let him go? Or will Murray fall back to the pack, proving to be a product of the league’s top offensive line?
Sometimes it just takes a clean slate. Time will tell if that is the case for C.J. Spiller.
Spiller put in five mostly uneventful and disappointing seasons as the one-time first-round pick for Buffalo. He’s off to New Orleans with a new start and an opportunity to play with Drew Brees and Sean Payton.
Will the Superdome allow Spiller to reach his Super Potential? Or will the Big Easy just be the scene where Spiller proves he is, in fact, a Big Bust?
Few teams have had as interesting an offseason as the Eagles. One of the moves included giving up a second, Nick Foles and then some to acquire frequently injured Rams QB Sam Bradford.
If that wasn’t interesting enough, reports seemed to indicate that Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly was trying to use Bradford at various points to acquire the rights to Marcus Mariota or other QBs, leaving questions over whether he really wanted the one-time Oklahoma signal-caller.
That likely leaves fantasy football players leery of Bradford – as if ACL injuries in back-to-back seasons wasn’t enough to do that already. But if he can stay healthy – and the Eagles, at least in 2014, had a much better offensive line with which to protect their QB – he may have the opportunity to build on some numbers that were actually pretty good in 2013.
So is he worth a flyer in fantasy? Or should you let him sit there and move on with other options?
