He’s a volume passer -- he’s been Top 5 in pass attempts in three of the past four seasons -- especially if Gronkowski is ready for Week 1. He remains a No. 1 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues, and we expect him to be drafted beginning in Round 5 in most standard formats. 35 quarterbacks (cont.)

Jason Campbell signed with the Browns this season, where he’ll either Through four years with the Bears Cutler has led the team to one end up as a backup behind Brandon Weeden or land a starting job playoff win and has yet to post a 4,000-yard campaign. He’s endured depending on what you believe to read. Either way, Campbell won’t be three different playcallers and will have his fourth in counted on to help much in Fantasy.

If Kolb does start he has touchdowns and 255 yards.

Waiting until Round 4 or 5 for Ryan is one of replaced by Colin Kaepernick in that game, and Smith was relegated the smartest moves you can make. to a backup role, which is why he became expendable this offseason.

Coach Andy Reid should be able The 2012 season for Mark Sanchez will forever be remembered for one to maximize Smith’s talent, but he has just one main weapon in Dwayne play -- the butt fumble.

You’ll want to pair Wilson with a quality No. 2 Fantasy quarterback (think anyone from Eli Manning to Ben Roethlisberger to Andy Dalton), but until he proves you wrong he should be considered a starter from Week 1 at Carolina.

Tyler Wilson, Raiders Bye 7 46 quarterbacks (cont.) The Raiders added another unproven quarterback to the mix, selecting Arkansas’ Tyler Wilson in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Wilson joins a quarterback room that already has Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor, who have a combined three starts between them. Wilson was considered one of the top prospects after throwing 24 touchdown passes and only six interceptions while leading Arkansas to an 11-2 record in 2011. Wilson decided to stay in school for his senior season, but his draft status fell as the team struggled following the firing of former coach Bobby Petrino. Wilson completed 62.1 percent of his passes while throwing for 3,387 yards with 21 touchdowns and 13 interceptions last season. Flynn is expected to begin the offseason as the starter but the Raiders have stressed that there will be competi- tion at all positions. If Wilson can win the starting job in Oakland he could be worth a late-round pick in deep seasonal leagues, but most likely he’ll be No. 2 on the depth chart for the Raiders. He should only be drafted with a late-round pick in rookie-only formats.

T.J. Yates, Texans Bye 8 T.J. Yates is expected to back up starter Matt Schaub in 2013. Unless he finds regular playing time again, Fantasy owners should either stash him in the deepest of dynasty/keeper leagues or ignore him.

Vince Young, Packers Bye 4 The Packers signed Vince Young in early August to back up Aaron Rodgers. We don’t even want to think about what the Packers offense would look like if Young had to run it for several weeks at a time, so all we’ll say here is that he shouldn’t be drafted unless you want to lock up a handcuff for Rodgers in a deep two-QB league. 47 Running backs Anthony Allen, Ravens Bye 8 Kenjon Barner, Panthers Bye 4 Anthony Allen will battle for a spot along the running back depth The Panthers are loaded at running back but that didn’t stop them chart in camp this summer for the Ravens.

With Matt Forte expected back and Michael Bush signed to fast and trained to play quickly thanks to his time with Chip Kelly at back him up, Allen’s expected to only see carries sparingly. He’s not Oregon, he’s slight at 5-foot-9 and 196 pounds.

Ball is determine his value. Most likely he will be a reserve running back a big back at 5-foot-10, 217 pounds, and he holds the NCAA Division and play on special teams.

There’s a strong chance Ball will start had 95 carries for 311 yards and three touchdowns and 15 catches for right away for the Broncos, working in tandem with Ronnie Hillman 108 yards and one touchdown. He got off to a great start with Ryan and Knowshon Moreno. We like this fit for Ball because the Broncos Mathews injured with at least 18 Fantasy points in two of his first four running backs ran for 12 touchdowns last season, and Ball should have games. But from Week 5 on, he combined for just 17 points. Keep an plenty of chances to score while also coming close to 1,000 rushing eye on where he signs, but Battle has minimal Fantasy value in the yards. He should be viewed as a low-end starting option in seasonal majority of leagues and should not be drafted. leagues worth a pick as early as Round 4. And in rookie-only formats he’s worth drafting in Round 1. Joique Bell, Lions Bye 9 Joique Bell’s career got rocked when the Lions signed Reggie Bush.

Thus, Bell can’t be in Round 7, but most likely Bradshaw will get the No. 1 job, meaning trusted in Fantasy. Ballard is only worth drafting with a pick in Round 9 or 10 at the earli- est. Keep an eye on what happens in training camp, but Ballard’s value takes a hit with Bradshaw now in the mix. 48 running backs (cont.) Le’Veon Bell, Steelers Bye Jahvid Best, Lions Bye 9 Steelers rookie running back Le’Veon Bell was gifted the starting job Jahvid Best still hasn’t been cleared to play football after suffering with the team when he sprained his foot in a mid-August preseason multiple concussions over a three-month period in 2011. He’s still a game. He’s not expected to be ready for the start of the season and part of the Lions organization for the next two seasons but he’s not conceivably won’t be back until after the Steelers’ Week 5 bye. Even expected to contribute. Keep him off of Fantasy rosters. when he does come back he’s no guarantee to be effective given his foot (he also tweaked his knee in training camp).

Keep an eye on Blount’s look for Jonathan Dwyer to lead a less-than-stellar Steelers rushing status in training camp and the preseason, but he’s not worth drafting attack. Bell’s worth a pick starting in Round 9 or 10, though it’ll mean in the majority of leagues. At best he will be No. 3 on the depth chart, shelving him for at least the first five weeks of the season. but we have minimal expectations for Blount this year.

Still, foot issues have been a problem for him during Damien Berry will battle for a spot along the running back depth chart his career, and it’s part of the reason he was let go from the Giants. When in camp with the Ravens this summer. He’s a long shot to produce healthy, however, Bradshaw has been a star. In 2012, Bradshaw missed decent stats, so keep him off of standard rosters. just two games and finished the season with 221 carries for 1,015 yards and six touchdowns and 23 catches for 245 yards. It’s the second time he’s had at least 220 carries and 1,000 rushing yards, and he’s had at least six touchdowns in every year since 2009. If he starts for the Colts then plan on drafting Bradshaw in Round 6 or 7 in the majority of leagues. But even if Ballard gets the starting nod, Bradshaw will still play a prominent role and is worth drafting no later than Round 9. 49 running backs (cont.)

It was the first time in his career he failed to score a touchdown, but his reception total was a career high. With Woodhead now in the mix, Andre Brown, Giants Bye 9 Brown’s receptions will come down, which further limits his value, and Andre Brown suffered a broken leg in the Giants’ fourth preseason his best days are clearly behind him. He should not be drafted in the game and will miss a sizable portion of the 2013 season. However, the majority of formats. burly third-down/goal-line specialist should return eventually.

He averaged weeks. Brown had 53 Fantasy points in a standard league against the 3.6 yards per carry and earned 73 of his total 495 yards in one start Panthers and Cowboys, and he helped many owners who were missing in place of Matt Forte. Starting for Forte is pretty much when you’ll McCoy because of a concussion.

He finished the season with 115 carries isn’t a cinch unless Forte is sidelined. That makes him a worthwhile for 564 yards and four touchdowns and 13 catches for 56 yards. late-round pick for those owners who draft Forte but otherwise he’s He also had three lost fumbles, which were a problem. This season, not really a desirable choice in Fantasy play. Brown will return to a secondary role. He will still get on the field as a complementary option to McCoy, but barring another McCoy injury, Reggie Bush, Lions Bye 9 he will be the No. 2 running back at best. That limits his value, and he’s Reggie Bush left the Dolphins this offseason to sign with the Lions, only worth a late-round pick - especially as a handcuff to McCoy.

He has played well coach Chip Kelly will give Brown a chance to carry the ball, but this since coming to the Dolphins in 2011 when he got a chance to be an still remains McCoy’s offense. every-down back.

Cadet seems to have very good hands and quickness after the catch but is a long way from being impactful Jed Collins, Saints Bye 7 in Fantasy. Though we dig the idea of stashing him in dynasty/keeper Jed Collins stole a few touchdowns last season, scoring two over 21 leagues for a possible breakout year in 2014 or 2015, he’s just not total touches. But as a fullback whose primarily job is to block, he’s worth owning right now. not expected to put up tons of Fantasy stats. Keep him off of rosters.

He’s fine as a late-round flier waivers this year. but that’s about as far as we’d go with Cox at this point.

When you add up everything in his favor it makes Charles a slam-dunk first- Tristan Davis, Redskins Bye 5 round pick in 2013, and he could have a career year.

Shaun Draughn, Chiefs Bye 10 Shaun Draughn enters the season likely as the No. 3 running back in Mario Fannin, Broncos Bye 9 Kansas City behind Jamaal Charles and rookie Knile Davis.

Justin Forsett, Jaguars Bye 9 Lance Dunbar, Cowboys Bye 11 Playing as a backup in Houston paid off for Justin Forsett, who rushed Lance Dunbar has the chance to be the No. 2 running back for the 63 times for 374 yards, including an 81-yard touchdown. It was enough Cowboys this year behind DeMarco Murray. That could be an important to interest the rival Jaguars, who signed Forsett to compete for the role given Murray’s injury history (he’s missed nine games the past backup running back role behind Maurice Jones-Drew. Reuniting with two years). Dunbar will compete with Phillip Tanner and rookie Joseph offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch is fun but expectations are minimal Randle for the backup job, and whoever wins is worth a late-round for this season. pick, especially if you invest in Murray with an early-round selection (our choice for the job is Randle). Dunbar did not play well in 2012 with Matt Forte, Bears Bye 8 21 carries for 75 yards and six catches for 33 yards, but his touches Fantasy running backs don’t come much safer than Matt Forte.

If you take Foster with an early round pick, plan on taking Tate in late Round 6/early Round 7 just to make sure you protect yourself.

Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight will battle for and Alex Green on the roster. But Franklin can potentially start if he his role. plays well in training camp and the preseason. Franklin had a highly productive career at UCLA. He rushed for 4,403 yards, which ranks Frank Gore, 49ers Bye 9 fifth in Pac-12 Conference history, and had 4,936 all-purpose yards. Frank Gore remains the starting running back for the 49ers and their A solid 5-foot-10, 201 pounds, Franklin averaged 5.59 yards per carry best Fantasy option in the backfield no matter how many times we after starting 45 games in his career.

But if he’s lower on the depth chart, for 1,214 yards and eight touchdowns and 28 catches for 234 yards potentially No. 2 behind Lacy, then take Franklin with a late-round and a touchdown. He had double digits in Fantasy points in 11 games, pick. In rookie-only drafts, Frank lin is worth drafting in Round 3. including five of the final six games to close the regular season. Gore is definitely headed for a decline at some point in the near future Terrance Ganaway, Rams Bye 11 -- he’ll be 30 this season and has more than 2,200 total touches -- but Terrance Ganaway has the chance to be the No. 4 running back for you have to go into the season with him as a solid No. 2 running back the Rams this year. That would put Ganaway in the mix with Daryl worth drafting as early as Round 3. Kendall Hunter and James will Richardson, Zac Stacy and Isaiah Pead for playing time, but Ganaway take touches from Gore, especially with the 49ers wanting to keep is the low man on the depth chart in that scenario. Still, Ganaway him fresh for the playoffs, but we’ve seen this before. Gore has at least could earn a role if the guys in front of him struggle, and we’d keep an 1,300 total yards and six touchdowns in six of the past seven years, eye on his production in training camp. Ganaway did not have a carry and he should remain at that level of production again this season. in his rookie year in 2012, but if he gets a chance for increased playing time he could play at a high level and then would be worth adding off Ryan Grant, Free Agent the waiver wire. The Packers brought back Ryan Grant to help their run game toward the end of the regular season. He did in one game, rumbling for 114 total yards and two touchdowns against the Titans. But that was the extent of his contributions with the Pack as he didn’t get more than eight touches in any other game. Now he’s a free agent looking for whatever work he can get. We wouldn’t draft him. 53 running backs (cont.) Cyrus Gray, Chiefs Bye 10 Shonn Greene, Titans Bye 8 Cyrus Gray will look to have a role in the Kansas City backfield this Shonn Greene signed with the Titans this offseason, and he’s expected season, and he could be No. 4 on the depth chart behind Jamaal to share carries with Chris Johnson but in a reserve role. The Titans are Charles, Knile Davis and Shaun Draughn. That’s likely a best-case excited about Greene, who is coming off a productive year in 2012 with scenario, but Gray has minimal Fantasy value. He was a sixth-round a career high in carries (276), yards (1,063) and touchdowns (eight). pick out of Texas A&M in 2012 and finished with just seven carries for He still remained a mediocre Fantasy running back, but he could be 44 yards and two catches for 18 yards in 10 games. Keep an eye on his a good complement to Johnson. He had just six games with double role in training camp, but he should not be drafted in the majority of digits in Fantasy points, and he had six games with five points or less. leagues. Greene offers little as a receiver -- he had 19 catches for 151 yards in 2012 -- but he will work at the goal line. Greene still retains value as , Dolphins Bye 6 a No. 3 Fantasy running back. Johnson will get the majority of work, Jonas Gray will compete for a roster spot with the Dolphins in 2013, but Greene could be around eight touchdowns again with close to 700 but he has minimal Fantasy value as a reserve running back. Ignore rushing yards. That’s not horrible as a key reserve with a mid-round him in all leagues on Draft Day. pick.

Alex Green, Packers Bye 4 John Griffin, Jets Bye 10 Alex Green will be part of the Packers’ running back crew in 2013, but John Griffin is hoping to make the final roster for the Jets as a reserve probably not a featured part. Green led the team in rushing in 2012 but running back. Even if he makes the team he would have minimal did so on a 3.4-yard rushing average. He never posted more than seven Fantasy value. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day. Fantasy points in a game. Now he’ll battle DuJuan Harris for playing time behind the likes of rookies Eddie Lacy and Johnathan Franklin. We Chris Gronkowski, Chargers Bye 8 wouldn’t draft Green. Chris Gronkowski signed with the Chargers this offseason as a free agent, but he’s not expected to get much playing time. In 2012, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Bengals Bye 12 Gronkowski appeared in 14 games for the Broncos and had just one BenJarvus Green-Ellis is probably going to be a running back you settle catch for 11 yards.

He scored on four of the 10 and might have had more training camp, but he has minimal Fantasy value even if he makes the if not for an 0-for-3 day at the goal line with a fumble at the Jaguars in team. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day. Week 4. That appeared to be the game that sent his workload near the goal line off track and perhaps forced the Bengals to find help for him Montario Hardesty, Browns Bye 10 on the ground.

We wouldn’t draft Hardesty in the majority of leagues, but keep an eye on him when he returns. He could eventually emerge as the handcuff for Richardson, but he has to prove he can stay on the field first.

Jamie Harper, Titans Bye 8 We once had high hopes for Jamie Harper but it looks like he’ll play third fiddle in the Titans’ run game. That’s because Chris Johnson remains the lead back with Shonn Greene brought in via free agency to aid him. Harper will languish on the bench unless something happens to one of the backs in front of him. Keep him off of Fantasy rosters. 54 running backs (cont.) DuJuan Harris, Packers Bye 4 Lef Hilliard, Jets Bye 10 DuJuan Harris was a classic scrap-heap find for the Packers last year Lex Hilliard will return to the Jets this year as a reserve running back as he buoyed their offense into the postseason, but that’s ancient and special teams contributor. Hilliard finished 2012 with the Jets history after the team took two running backs -- Eddie Lacy and where he had nine carries for 33 yards and four catches for 23 yards.

Nice numbers, but the rookies figure to be fixtures in the offense going forward. Don’t Peyton Hillis, Free Agent be surprised to see Harris go undrafted this summer. Peyton Hillis is a free agent this offseason, and he will look to rebound this year after two down seasons. After struggling in Cleveland in 2011, Stanley Havili, Colts Bye 8 Hillis signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs in 2012. He struggled with Stanley Havili was traded from the Eagles to the Colts this offseason an ankle injury early in the year and playing second fiddle to Jamaal in exchange for defensive end Clifton Geathers. Havili was a fullback Charles and had just 85 carries for 309 yards and one touchdown for the Eagles in 2012 and had just six carries for 22 yards and a and 10 catches for 62 yards. He had one game with double digits in touchdown and seven catches for 43 yards. He doesn’t touch the ball Fantasy points. Hillis will likely sign another short-term deal with a enough to matter for Fantasy owners and should be ignored in all new team, but he has lot to prove before Fantasy owners can count on leagues. him. Keep an eye on where he lands, but he should only be drafted with a late-round pick. Roy Helu, Redskins Bye 5 Roy Helu went from the potential starter for the Redskins entering Ronnie Hillman, Broncos Bye 9 2012 to searching for a role this season. Helu was replaced by Alfred If the Broncos have their way, Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball will Morris as the starter last season before he was placed on injured lead the backfield this year. That would be good news to anyone who reserve with turf toe in Week 4. He comes back this year with the invests in Hillman on Draft Day. Hillman should be No. 2 on the depth chance to play on passing downs behind Morris, but Helu has to prove chart and get plenty of looks. His best game as a rookie was his last he’s healthy and can handle the role. Evan Royster is also in the mix game in the playoff loss against Baltimore. With Willis McGahee out as an option behind Morris, and Helu has a lot to show Fantasy owners and Knowshon Moreno going down with a knee injury, Hillman had before they can count on him. We don’t recommend drafting Helu in 22 carries for 83 yards and three catches for 20 yards. Overall, he the majority of leagues, but he is someone to monitor. If something finished the season with 85 carries for 330 yards and one touchdown happens to Morris, then Helu might get a shot to resurrect his career. and 10 catches for 62 yards.

Henry Hynoski, Giants Bye 9 Fred Jackson, Bills Bye 12 Henry Hynoski will be the starting fullback for the Giants in 2013, but Fred Jackson went from a viable Fantasy running back from 2009-11 to he has minimal Fantasy value as a blocker. He had five carries for 20 a potential roadblock for C.J. Spiller. And Fantasy owners just want him yards and 11 catches for 50 yards and a touchdown, but he doesn’t out of the way.

He’s spent the past two years as the No. 2 running back for the Cowboys behind DeMarco Murray, and we would expect Jones to be a backup running back wherever he lands. Keep an eye on his future destination, but Jones is only worth drafting with a late-round pick in the majority of leagues.

Greg Jones, Texans Bye 8 Greg Jones left Jacksonville for Houston this offseason, staying in the AFC South but moving to a title contender. It’s there where he’ll pop open holes for Arian Foster and the Texans’ ground game. He’s one of the best at playing fullback but is older than most at the position and doesn’t put up many Fantasy stats. Leave him off rosters. 57 running backs (cont.) , Raiders Bye 5 Eddie Lacy, Packers Bye 4 Taiwan Jones is likely moving from offense to defense this season in Eddie Lacy was considered a borderline first-round talent, but it was an effort to get more playing time.

Conditioning issues and some be worth drafting right away, but he could be someone to add off the health concerns stemming from this spring could have been part of waiver wire if he starts out playing well. the reason why his stock fell. But that doesn’t matter now as he has a shot to be an impact player for the Packers and Fantasy owners. Green Maurice Jones-Drew, Jaguars Bye 9 Bay hasn’t run the ball as much as other teams thanks in part to two Maurice Jones-Drew figures to be one of the most polarizing Fantasy factors: Aaron Rodgers playing well and no back stepping up.

If there’s a nitpick it’s that to still work in short-yardage situations, but his Fantasy value is down a huge chunk of his production came in a two-game span against the compared to last year with the addition of Bush. We would only draft Vikings and Raiders, where he had 61 total touches and amassed 486 Leshoure with a late-round pick in standard leagues, and he’s only total yards and half of his total touchdowns on the year. Those two worth a flier in deep PPR formats. weeks pushed his numbers to enormous heights, but it’s not like he didn’t have many other big weeks, especially after the Bucs’ bye when Dion Lewis, Browns Bye 10 he had at least 100 total yards in nine of 12 games.

He had Fantasy owners since 2008 when he had over 1,000 total yards and 11 double digits in Fantasy points in 11 games, including five in a row to touchdowns for the Ravens, so ignore him on Draft Day in the majority close the season. And in two years as the starter for Seattle he has of leagues. scored 25 total touchdowns with more than 1,400 total yards in each season. If he can avoid a suspension from last year’s DUI arrest in July -- the matter has yet to be resolved - then he should be a star. Lynch is definitely a Top 5 overall pick in standard leagues (he’s more of a late first-round pick in PPR formats), and if he’s guaranteed the chance to play all 16 games then draft him at No. 3 without hesitation. 59 running backs (cont.) LeSean McCoy, Eagles Bye 12 Joe McKnight, Jets Bye 10 LeSean McCoy might be under-appreciated by Fantasy owners this Joe McKnight will remain a reserve running back for the Jets and will season after what seemed like a bad year in 2012. He missed four likely be No. 4 on the depth chart at best behind Chris Ivory, Bilal games with a concussion and went from 20 total touchdowns in 2011 Powell and Mike Goodson. That’s a best-case scenario for McKnight to just five. He also failed to reach 1,500 total yards (he had 1,200) for this year. McKnight had a rough year in 2012 when he spent time at the first time since 2009. But despite his struggles, McCoy still had cornerback just to get playing time. Keep an eye on what happens double digits in Fantasy points in 10 of his 12 outings. He still remains this offseason, but McKnight is not worth drafting in the majority of the starter (don’t worry about Bryce Brown taking his job), and new leagues. coach Chip Kelly will lean on him. And even if he comes off the field for Brown at times, it’s not like this is a 50-50 split. McCoy will continue Rashard Mendenhall, Cardinals Bye 9 to do the heavy lifting for this offense, and Kelly is fond of running Rashard Mendenhall is reunited with former coordinator Bruce Arians the ball from his days at Oregon. We definitely recommend drafting in Arizona, where he’ll battle for the starting job in training camp this McCoy in Round 1, and he should be considered a Top 10 overall pick. summer. Coming off a torn ACL injury in 2012, Mendenhall slogged Brown is worth a late-round selection as a handcuff, but figure McCoy through a miserable season where he averaged 3.6 yards per carry, to be around 1,500 total yards again with the chance for double digits caught his lone touchdown of the year and missed 10 games with in touchdowns and close to 50 catches. He’s an elite Fantasy option, a number of ailments. Arians has said his preference is not to split and he will regain his form this year. rushing duties between multiple backs, so it is believed Mendenhall will battle Ryan Williams and potentially rookies Stepfan Taylor and Darren McFadden, Raiders Bye 7 Andre Ellington for the starting job in Arizona.

It was a miserable year, but the zone- blocking system is gone with Greg Olson replacing as the Christine Michael, Seahawks Bye 12 offensive coordinator. We still have optimism for McFadden, but there The Seahawks drafted running back Christine Michael in the second are obvious red flags. Because of that he should only be drafted with a round of the NFL Draft from Texas A&M. Michael is expected to be late-second round pick at the earliest. Your best bet is to get McFad- the No. 3 running back in Seattle behind Marshawn Lynch and Robert den in the third round and hope he surprises you like he did in 2010 Turbin. Barring an injury or suspension to Lynch and/or Turbin, we (1,600 total yards and 10 touchdowns). We’d all take that McFadden, don’t expect to see Michael on the field much this year. He does have and we hope he shows up this year. some long-term potential if the Seahawks part ways with Lynch down the road, but Michael should not be drafted in most seasonal leagues. Willis McGahee, Free Agent In rookie-only formats, Michael is worth a late-round selection. Willis McGahee is looking for a job after the Broncos released him in mid-June. The writing was on the wall for McGahee after the Broncos Bruce Miller, 49ers Bye 9 drafted rookie running back Montee Ball in the second round of April’s Bruce Miller is the starting fullback for the 49ers, but he has minimal draft. McGahee had a rough year in 2012 since his season ended in Fantasy value because he barely touches the ball on offense. He has Week 11 with a broken right leg. Prior to getting hurt, McGahee had 32 total touches the past two years (nine carries and 23 catches), and 167 carries for 731 yards and four touchdowns and 26 catches for 221 he scored one touchdown over that span. Ignore him in the majority of yards. He was on pace to shatter his previous high for receiving yards leagues on Draft Day. (231 set in 2007), and he had at least eight Fantasy points in five of the nine full games he appeared in. He’ll probably get picked up by a new team where he’ll work in tandem with another back but Fantasy own- ers shouldn’t take him with anything more than a late-round pick.

Corey McIntyre, Free Agent Corey McIntyre is a free agent this offseason, but he will have minimal Fantasy value no matter where he ends up. He’s more of a blocker than anything else, and in 2012 he had one catch for 9 yards and no carries. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day. 60 running backs (cont.) Lamar Miller, Dolphins Bye 6 Richard Murphy, Jaguars Bye 9 Lamar Miller had an unimpressive rookie season playing behind Reggie Richard Murphy will battle for spot along the Jaguars’ depth chart in Bush and Daniel Thomas. He finished 2012 with 51 carries for 250 yards training camp this summer. With minimal work expected to come his and one touchdown and six catches for 45 yards. But in 2013, Miller has way, Fantasy owners shouldn’t draft him. the chance to showcase his skills. Bush is gone as a free agent to De- troit, and Miller has moved past Thomas on the depth chart. If a veteran DeMarco Murray, Cowboys Bye 11 rusher isn’t brought in, then Miller could open the season as the starter, DeMarco Murray can be an elite Fantasy talent when healthy, but which will enhance his Fantasy value. We consider Miller a low-end No. health has been a big issue for him through two seasons. He’s already 2 Fantasy running back with upside, and he’s worth drafting with a pick missed nine games in his career because of injuries, and Fantasy as early as Round 4. He should be on most sleeper lists, and the Dolphins owners are frustrated. It doesn’t help matters that in May he battled are in love with Miller’s playmaking ability.

He had at least seven Fantasy points in every outing Devin Moore will battle for a spot along the Lions’ depth chart in with double-digit points in five games, so he’s capable of being a big camp this summer but he’s not expected to leapfrog the likes of Mikel point producer. But he has to stay on the field to live up to the hype. Leshoure and Joique Bell. We’d be shocked if Moore had a significant Based on talent, Murray is a first-round pick, but we would let him fall impact in Fantasy leagues this season. to Round 2 at the earliest. He should be considered at least a Top 15 Fantasy running back, and if he can play 16 games we could be looking Mewelde Moore, Free Agent at a Top 10 option in all leagues. Mewelde Moore will battle for a spot on a running back depth chart somewhere this summer. He’s not expected to be a worthwhile , Raiders Bye 7 Fantasy option. We wouldn’t draft him. The Raiders drafted rookie running back Latavius Murray in the sixth round this year from Central Florida, and he’s expected to compete Knowshon Moreno, Broncos Bye 9 for a role behind starter Darren McFadden. Murray will likely battle Knowshon Moreno was a standout Fantasy option for owners in the Rashad Jennings and fullback Marcel Reece for backup duties, which playoffs in 2012, but that might not be enough to guarantee him a big could be a prominent role given McFadden’s injury history. Keep an eye role this year. Moreno suffered a knee injury in a playoff loss to Baltimore on Murray during training camp, and he could be worth a late-round last season and needed offseason surgery, but he’s still in the mix this flier in seasonal leagues. In rookie-only drafts, plan on drafting Murray summer. Finding playing time will be tough; the Broncos drafted Montee with a mid-round pick. Ball in the second round of the NFL Draft, and they still have Ronnie Hillman. Moreno might not be needed even though he did an admirable Chris Ogbonnaya, Browns Bye 10 job for Denver down the stretch last year in place of the injured McGahee Chris Ogbonnaya is entering a contract year but will likely see minimal with double digits in Fantasy points in five of the final six regular-season touches behind starter Trent Richardson.

Keep an eye on where Moreno ends up. If he stays with the Broncos he would have minimal Fantasy value.

Though there’s a smidge of concern Peterson could exhaust himself after taking on 370 carries over 17 games last year the reality is that Isaac Redman, Steelers Bye 5 he’s too good a player to pass up taking if made available on Draft Day. Isaac Redman will battle for playing time in training camp but not Owners shouldn’t hesitate to take him with the first overall pick. much of it should be there after the Steelers added rookie runner Le’Veon Bell in April.

Powell played well in 2012, and he could worth a late-round pick in deeper PPR formats. see an increased role this year with Ivory an injury risk. After a slow start last year, Powell closed the season with double digits in Fantasy points in three of his final seven games with four touchdowns over that span. He finished the season with 110 carries for 437 yards and four touchdowns and 17 catches for 140 yards. Ivory remains the Jets running back to target, but put Powell on your radar with a late-round pick in all leagues. Should Ivory go down, which has happened before, we could see Powell get a chance to be the starter for the Jets. 62 running backs (cont.)

Rice also Theo Reddick, Lions Bye 9 didn’t produce the huge numbers he did before the Ravens made a The Lions selected Notre Dame running back Theo Riddick in April’s coordinator change as Joe Flacco sort of took over the direction of the draft.

We wouldn’t be as worried about those things as we would but one without the strength to break tackles or pass protect, making a hangover from the Super Bowl -- running backs tend to struggle him a project-type player for the Lions. He’ll be buried on the depth posting big numbers in the season following a title game run. Rice had chart this season and might struggle to make way to the field in 331 carries and 69 catches over 20 games, which is a lot of work but following years. Riddick’s only worth a late-round look in rookie-only nothing to get completely alarmed about (he had 411 total touches in drafts. 2010 and was fine in 2011). Roster shakeups due of injuries or salary cap issues have thinned out the talent Flacco will throw to as well, so there could be added emphasis on the run game week after week. Is he still one of the best players in Fantasy? Sure, but he’s got a lot more company at the top of the running back heap than he did a year ago. We’d aim for Rice no higher than sixth overall in drafts. 63 running backs (cont.) Stevan Ridley, Patriots Bye 10 Evan Royster, Redskins Bye 5 Stevan Ridley, as expected, had a career year in 2012 as the starter Evan Royster will compete with Roy Helu to be the No. 2 running back for the Patriots. He should continue to run well this year, and he has for the Redskins behind Alfred Morris. As long as Morris is healthy, the potential to be a low-end No. 1 running back in standard leagues. we don’t expect much from Royster, but if Morris goes down then he Ridley dominated carries for New England with 290 for 1,263 yards could have a prominent role. Royster didn’t do much in his second and 12 touchdowns during the regular season. Compare that to Danny year in 2012 with 23 carries for 88 yards and two touchdowns and 15 Woodhead (76 carries) and Shane Vereen (62), and you’ll see how catches for 109 yards. And that was with Helu out of the way for most much coach Bill Belichick relied on Ridley. Now, that doesn’t mean of the season. With Helu back, Royster’s production will be even more Ridley is cemented in as the featured option. Along with Brandon limited. Ignore him in the majority of leagues on Draft Day.

And Ridley is useless Brandon Saine, Packers Bye 4 as a receiver with just seven catches in 2012. But he did manage Brandon Saine is slated to battle for a spot on the Packers’ depth chart nine games with double digits in Fantasy points, and the Patriots will this summer.

Jacquizz Rodgers, Falcons Bye 6 Jacquizz Rodgers is hoping to improve on his career-best 2012 season in Anthony Sherman, Chiefs Bye 10 Atlanta in 2013 but the arrival of Steven Jackson stifles that. It could be Anthony Sherman was traded from Arizona to Kansas City this offsea- a good thing -- Rodgers picked up 362 yards on 94 carries (3.9 avg.) and son in exchange for cornerback Javier Arenas.

There was some third-down option.

This all changes if the Panthers end up thinning out their running back corps, Daniel Thomas, Dolphins Bye 6 and Stewart has proven to be a great, versatile player when given the Daniel Thomas has a lot to prove this season, and he could have the opportunity, but with only limited for the past two seasons there’s no chance to be a significant contributor for the Dolphins in 2013 with telling when he’ll be productive for Fantasy purposes. Think of him as a Reggie Bush gone. The Dolphins appear to be going with Lamar Miller quality reserve for now. as the starter, but Thomas could also play a big role unless he gets passed on the depth chart by rookie Mike Gilleslee. The coaching staff Phillip Tanner, Cowboys Bye 11 wants to see more from Thomas, who had some positive moments Phillip Tanner has the chance to be the No. 2 running back for the in his sophomore campaign in 2012, but still has flaws in his game.

That could be an important He had three games with double digits in Fantasy points, but injuries role given Murray’s injury history (he’s missed nine games the past kept him from playing at a consistent level. Thomas missed time with two years). Tanner will compete with Lance Dunbar and rookie Joseph multiple ailments, including knee surgery after the season, which Randle for the backup job, and whoever wins is worth a late-round was minor. He finished the year with 91 carries for 325 yards and four pick, especially if you invest in Murray with an early-round selection touchdowns and 15 catches for 156 yards. He is worth a late-round flier (our choice for the job is Randle). Tanner did not play well in 2012 with in all formats if he opens the season behind Miller as expected. If he 25 carries for 61 yards and four catches for 41 yards, but his touches somehow overtakes Miller on the depth chart then his value will rise, could increase this year. but we only consider Thomas as a reserve option heading into training camp. Ben Tate, Texans Bye 8 If you drafted Arian Foster with an early round pick, getting Ben Tate Pierre Thomas, Saints Bye 7 is a must. But even if you didn’t draft Foster there’s some potential There’s going to come a time in your draft where taking Pierre Thomas in Tate even though he didn’t do much last season. Foster is a risk for seems like a good idea. It’ll probably be around Round 9 or so, when breaking down after totaling more than 400 carries (and 450 touches) the rest of the running backs left look like total garbage. Thomas has through 18 games in 2012. Foster also strained his calf in a late May proven to be a versatile runner, but his production tanked in 2012 when practice. So if something happens to him, Tate could step in and put up he scored just two touchdowns and totaled 827 yards before landing numbers just as he did in 2011. The fourth-year back is still averaging on injured reserve. He posted 10 or more touches in eight games, proof a nice number on his runs and making some moves as a receiver. But that’s he’s involved, but really the only way Thomas will be huge for if given the chance this season Tate can show the rest of the league Fantasy is if injuries clear the way for him to be a primary back for the why he’s worth a large contract when he’s a free agent in the spring Saints. Consider other running backs when you’re in Round 9 and eye- of 2014. If you draft Foster, Tate is a must with a pick in late Round 7 or balling Thomas - he’s a better late-round flier than mid- to late-round early Round 8. If you don’t draft Foster, getting him in Round 8 or 9 as gamble. a sleeper could also pay off. Chris Thompson, Redskins Bye 5 The Redskins drafted running back Chris Thompson from Florida State in the fifth round, and he will compete for a role this season as part of a crowded backfield. Keep an eye on his progress in training camp, but we don’t expect much from Thompson this season. He is not worth drafting in the majority of leagues. 66 running backs (cont.) Mike Tolbert, Panthers Bye 4 Shane Vereen, Patriots Bye 10 Mike Tolbert could become a quality player in Fantasy but it will take Shane Vereen should be considered a sleeper coming into this season some roster changes on the Panthers for it to happen.

Last year, Vereen was inactive for the first three games of the and DeAngelo Williams) but five came in the final three weeks of season, but he finished the year with 73 carries for 308 yards and the season weeks when Stewart was on injured reserve. Tolbert also four touchdowns and 15 catches for 254 yards and three touchdowns, amassed just 451 yards from scrimmage on 81 touches over 16 games. including the playoffs.

Burress re-signed with the team this offseason and year. As a rookie in 2011, Brown had 19 catches for 329 yards and two wants to make a sizable contribution on offense after the team lost touchdowns in a limited role. Since the Chargers need help at receiver, speedster Mike Wallace via free agency. Once upon a time Burress has Brown could contribute right away, and he has the chance to start productive years with the Steelers and Giants but will be 36 years old opposite Malcom Floyd now that Danario Alexander (ACL) is out. He when the season starts and might be relegated to limited snaps like he is worth a late-round flier in all leagues, and we hope Brown doesn’t was last season. Until he proves otherwise, expectations remain low disappoint you if you consider him a future standout option. He has for Plax. Keep him off of Fantasy rosters. plenty of sleeper potential if he can stay healthy. , Raiders Bye 7 Ryan Broyles, Lions Bye 9 The Raiders drafted receiver Brice Butler in the seventh round of the The hope is that receiver Ryan Broyles makes an Adrian Peterson-like NFL Draft out of San Diego State. He will compete for a roster spot, but recovery from a torn ACL to contribute to the Lions’ offense in 2013. even if he makes the final roster he would have minimal Fantasy value. But those contributions might not happen for several weeks given Ignore him in the majority of leagues on Draft Day. his injury last December.

But don’t consider him a must-grab unless you’re long-shot to make the final roster. In 2012, Butler appeared in just one prepared to wait for him to come back. Even then you’d have to hope game for Seattle but did not record a catch. He has just 57 catches for he still has the ability to put up number like he did last year (310 yards 611 yards and four touchdowns in four years, and he’s not expected to on 22 catches with two touchdowns). make much of an impact if he makes the final roster. Keep an eye on what happens with Butler in training camp, but he’s not worth drafting Dez Bryant, Cowboys Bye 11 in the majority of leagues. Dez Bryant was a breakout star in his third season in the NFL in 2012, and he’s looking to keep that momentum going this season. We think Andre Caldwell, Broncos Bye 9 he can. Bryant closed 2012 with double digits in Fantasy points in a Andre Caldwell signed a two-year contract with the Broncos last March, but standard league in seven of his final eight games, including playing he failed to do much in his first year in Denver in 2012.

Randall Cobb, Packers Bye 4 Kevin Cone, Falcons Bye 7 Randall Cobb blossomed into a solid Fantasy receiver last season and Kevin Cone will compete for a spot along the receiving depth chart in the hope is he continues his progress in 2013. It took a few weeks but Atlanta this summer. He’ll likely need one of the two top receivers to once the Packers were in a pinch with their run game they utilized get hurt to have even a glimmer of hope of being useful in Fantasy, so Cobb more and his numbers took off. Starting in Week 5, when Cedric don’t draft him. Benson got hurt, Cobb posted 10-plus Fantasy points in five of his next six games (with a TD or 100 total yards in each game).

Already, the Packers have said they’re going to take Cobb off of special teams and focus on using Riley Cooper, Eagles Bye 12 him more on offense, so chances are he will be in a position to put up Riley Cooper will be the No. 4 receiver for the Eagles this season better stats in 2013.

Cobb sizes up as the Packers’ most explosive receiver worth a pick touchdowns.

If he formats. He’s a great low-end No. 1/high-end No. 2 Fantasy option. starts out the season playing well then add him off the waiver wire, but let him prove himself first.

Keep an eye on his role, but a handful of games before Fantasy owners should trust him. There are he has minimal Fantasy value in the majority of leagues. He should be probably 100 better receivers you could draft. ignored in all leagues on Draft Day since he had just eight catches for 79 yards in 2012.

Even if he makes the team he would have minimal grounded on waivers. Fantasy value. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day.

Marques Colston, Saints Bye 7 When it comes to year-to-year stats, Marques Colston exemplifies consistency. Last year, he posted his sixth season in seven years with at least 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns, ultimately scoring 10 times. But a closer look at his 2012 numbers might sway Fantasy owners from leaning on Colston as a No. 1 option. The Saints’ leading receiver had 10-plus Fantasy points just six times in 2012 including in Weeks 16 and 17. He also collected four touchdowns and 284 of his yards in Weeks 4 and 5. There were eight weeks where he had under 80 yards with no touchdowns. Despite this uncharacteristic inconsistency, Colston remains the most highly targeted wide receiver on the pass-happy Saints. Getting him to serve as a No. 2 receiver, particularly one you’ll “settle” for in Round 4 or maybe even Round 5, shouldn’t be disappointing. 75 wide receiver (cont.) Michael Crabtree, 49ers Bye 9 Drew Davis, Falcons Bye 6 Michael Crabtree was on the verge of becoming a star, but a torn Drew Davis will compete for a spot along the receiving depth chart in Achilles in an offseason workout in May has derailed that.

If he does come back don’t draft him. on the timetable originally given, which would be November, then he might be worth a late-round pick in the majority of leagues. But if we Eric Decker, Broncos Bye 9 don’t know if he’ll return at all by the time training camp roles around Eric Decker, as expected, had a breakout campaign in 2012. It was his you’ll leave him undrafted and just try to grab him off the waiver wire. third year in the NFL, and he was paired with a future Hall of Fame quar- Crabtree picked up his game with the addition of Colin Kaepernick.

Decker had double digits in for 595 yards and five touchdowns. If you project that over 16 games, Fantasy points eight times, including three in a row to close the season, Crabtree would have finished with 94 catches for 1,360 yards and 11 and he finished with 122 targets. Decker is technically No. 2 on the depth touchdowns. That equates to 202 Fantasy points, which would have chart at receiver behind Demaryius Thomas, but they are essentially 1 made Crabtree the No. 3 Fantasy receiver last year in standard leagues and 1A. Decker now enters a potential contract year as his rookie deal behind Calvin Johnson (214) and Brandon Marshall (210). Now we’ll is set to expire after this season. He also has to share production with have to wait to see if Crabtree and Kaepernick can pick up once he’s new addition Wes Welker. That will cut into Decker’s totals, but he’s not back from the Achilles injury. going to disappear. The incentive of a new deal, along with another year playing with Manning, could help Decker shine this season. He should Josh Cribbs, Raiders Bye 7 be considered a solid No. 2 Fantasy receiver, and he’s worth drafting as Josh Cribbs signed with the Raiders in mid-May. He did so while in the early as Round 4 in the majority of leagues. same week a rival general manager said Cribbs wasn’t quite healthy. Cribbs could work his way into the mix at receiver and almost certainly Aaron Dobson, Patriots Bye 10 will return kicks but no major stats are expected for the nine-year vet. The Patriots drafted receiver Aaron Dobson out of Marshall in the second round of the NFL Draft, and he’s expected to start opposite Juron Criner, Raiders Bye 7 Danny Amendola. In each of his last three seasons in college, Dobson Juron Criner had a quiet rookie season in 2012, and we hope he can had at least 44 catches and 668 yards receiving.

He helped Fantasy owners with eight double-digit scoring games, and he picked up the Tandon Doss, Ravens Bye 8 slack for the Giants with Hakeem Nicks battling multiple leg injuries. Tandon Doss did little in 2012, playing in 14 games, but he’ll battle for Cruz should again be a dominant force, and we consider him a top-15 playing time in camp this summer. Coach John Harbaugh has spoken Fantasy receiver in all leagues. He is worth drafting as early as Round highly about Doss in the past and could give him the chance to prove 4 in all formats. himself. At 6-2 and 200 pounds, the versatile player might get a chance at some playing time and earn a role as a No. 3 receiver for the B.J. Cunningham, Eagles Bye 12 Ravens. If that happens, then owners in standard formats can claimn B.J.

He ended 2012 on Buffalo’s roster after spending most of the year with Marcus Easley, Bills Bye 12 Jacksonville, where he had 10 catches in 13 games.

The sentiment is that while Hawkins is explosive he’s Day, but he is worth a late-round pick in rookie-only formats. also small and not quite as polished as he could be. Once he gets more experience, and it could come with a strong offseason/preseason, Dwayne Harris, Cowboys Bye 11 then he could develop into a solid Fantasy contributor.

We hope he can turn things around this season playing in Indianapolis’ high-flying, aerial attack. He has some sleeper appeal Trindon Holliday, Broncos Bye 9 with the Colts, but he’s only worth a late-round pick. If he can click Trindon Holliday doesn’t provide much as a receiver. In three seasons, with Luck right away he could have a nice year, but we want to see him he has two catches for 17 yards.

Holliday became the first player in a reserve wide receiver and special teams player.

He finished the year with 47 punt returns for Keep an eye on where he signs, but Hill is not worth drafting in the 481 yards and a touchdown and 21 kickoff returns for 552 yards and majority of leagues. a touchdown.

Keep in mind he is still the Jets’ No. 1 receiver with a Round 7 or 8 pick, a pretty good value considering his receiver, and even if it is on a bad team he can still be productive as a potential. reserve option. 81 wide receiver (cont.) DeAndre Hopkins, Texans Bye 8 Vincent Jackson, Buccaneers Bye 5 The selected Clemson receiver DeAndre Hopkins Most would say Vincent Jackson made the impact the Bucs had hoped with the 27th overall pick in the NFL draft. Hopkins is 6-foot-1 and 214 he would when they signed him to a large contract last offseason, but pounds and has a great track record going back to his days in Clem- a look into the stats tell a slightly different story. All told, Jackson had son. In three seasons Hopkins caught 205 passes for 3,009 yards and a career-best 72 catches for 1,384 yards (also a career-best) and eight 27 touchdowns including 18 in 13 games last season. Hopkins isn’t touchdowns. Not bad, right? Well, the 72 catches he had came on a the biggest or fastest, but he plays quick, controlled and tough with whopping 147 targets, meaning he somehow caught just below 50 reliable hands and focus to locate and pluck. He is a natural receiver percent of the passes Josh Freeman threw his way.

Hopkins does not have a massive body like Mike Williams, who happened to score nine touchdowns. And when Johnson but can manipulate routes and create separation. In short, he didn’t score 10 Fantasy points, he really didn’t do much, posting he’s just what the Texans ordered because he can come in right away five Fantasy points or less in six games. Jackson continues to serve and be productive in single coverage based on the body of work he’s as a boom-or-bust receiver but given the right price on Draft Day is made for himself in college. Hopkins will be worth a late pick in sea- someone worth picking up. Let’s call him a No. 1 Fantasy option worth sonal leagues as a sleeper, a mid- to late-round pick in dynasty/keeper a pick starting in late Round 3. leagues and more than likely a Top 20 pick in rookie-only drafts.

We know Jackson was once a budding star since he had 2,200 receiving yards and 17 total touchdowns from 2009-10, but he has to stay healthy and prove he wants to be an elite receiver again. The good thing with Jackson this year is you can draft him with a mid-round pick compared to the past two years when he was an early-round selection. If y ou land Jackson as your No. 3 receiver then you’re in good shape, and if Jackson plays 16 games he can again reach 1,000 receiving yards with at least seven touchdowns. 82 wide receiver (cont.) Greg Jennings, Vikings Bye 5 Calvin Johnson, Lions Bye 9 Greg Jennings joined the Vikings after spending seven seasons with You already know that Calvin Johnson is the best Fantasy receiver out the Packers. It was a must-add for Minnesota after its receiving corps there after scoring 16 touchdowns in 2011 and setting an NFL record was left barren following the Percy Harvin trade to Seattle. Jennings with 1,964 receiving yards in 2012. But just how good is he? Johnson will be in a familiar role -- the No. 1 receiver -- with the Vikes, though he has posted back-to-back seasons with at least 200 Fantasy points. won’t quite have the same kind of quarterback throwing to him. Health When compared against running backs he would have finished as the has been a factor for Jennings -- he missed three games in 2011 with sixth-best in 2012 and the third-best in 2011. He’s posted at least 10 a leg injury, and groin and abdomen injuries kept him off the field for Fantasy points in 23 of his last 32 regular-season games. He’s over- eight games last season. But once he was healthy he finished strong. come injuries that have looked bad to play like a super-human. And the Including two postseason games among his final four contests, he icing on the cake is that nothing about his game, his quarterback, his scored four times and caught 25 balls for 280 yards. That might be offense, his playcaller or his workload will change in 2013. That’s why enough of a sample size to show Jennings has plenty left in the tank, Johnson is the only non-running back who qualifies as a first-round but concerns about speed (his receiving average is declining and he pick this summer. We’d look to nab him late in Round 1 with the idea of caught just five passes for 20-plus yards in 10 total games last year) pairing him with a running back in Round 2. and his health could keep him from being a Fantasy superstar. The good news is that Jennings can be had a much later point in drafts Charles Johnson, Packers Bye 4 compared to recent years as you can probably make it to Round 6 and The Packers selected Grand Valley State receiver Charles Johnson in still see him there. Consider him a No. 3 Fantasy receiver with obvious April’s draft. Johnson is your typical height/weight/speed prospect as upside. he’s 6-foot-2 with lots of explosion and a sub-4.4 in the 40-yard dash but played at three different schools, a red flag to be sure. But a good Jerrel Jernigan, Giants Bye 9 camp could lead to some (very) limited playing time this year. He’s not Jerrel Jernigan will provide depth for the Giants this year as a reserve worth drafting in a seasonal league but is worth a late pick in dynasty/ receiver. He’s entering his third year in the NFL, which is typically keeper leagues and a middle-round pick in rookie-only drafts. when receivers have a breakout year, but Jernigan has three catches for 22 yards in his career. Keep an eye on his production early in the Damaris Johnson, Eagles Bye 12 season, and if he starts out playing well then add him off the waiver Damaris Johnson will continue to be a reserve receiver for the Eagles wire. But Jernigan should not be drafted in the majority of leagues. this year. As a rookie in 2012, Johnson had 19 catches for 256 yards and three carries for 12 yards. Since he plays behind DeSean Jackson, Andre Johnson, Texans Bye 8 Jeremy Maclin and Jason Avant, he won’t see many targets. Ignore him Concerns about missing time because of injuries pushed Andre in all leagues on Draft Day.

But you have to wonder if an improved quarterback did as the two only had three games all year where they were both will make Johnson even better, and we consider him a low-end No. 2 satisfactory. While that’s something to think about, the reality is that receiver in 2013. He is worth drafting with a mid-round pick, and even Jones is the more scintillating receiver in Atlanta and the one Fantasy though he’s not a dynamic receiver he did post seven games with owners should target first.

We saw Jacoby Jones become a postseason superstar with dashing Keep an eye on his progress in training camp, but he has minimal catches to put the Ravens ahead of the Broncos and 49ers, but does it Fantasy value if he makes the final roster. He is not worth drafting in mean he’ll take a bow in Fantasy in 2013? For years Jones has teased the majority of leagues. us of being a potential sleeper, but he’s never had more than even 600 yards receiving in a year and only once caught six touchdowns in a Jeremy Kerley, Jets Bye 10 campaign (he had one regular-season receiving touchdown last year Here’s some good trivia for you. Ask anyone who led the Jets in before hauling in two in the postseason). Bottom line: You’re taking a catches in 2012, and see if they can guess Jeremy Kerley. That’s right, risk putting Jones on your dance card even if the Ravens plan to up his Kerley was the No. 1 receiver for the Jets last year with 56 catches for playing time. He’s been given opportunities before and he’s waltzed 827 yards and two touchdowns. This year, Kerley is entering his third into oblivion with them. The good news for Jones is Anquan Boldin is season, and he could be in line for a breakout performance. The Jets gone, and Dennis Pitta (hip) is out for the year. That could make him need to improve their quarterback situation, but the addition of Marty worth a late-round flier in deeper leagues. Mornhinweg as offensive coordinator should help the passing game as a whole. Don’t draft Kerley in the majority of leagues, but if you’re James Jones, Packers Bye 4 looking for a late-round flier in deeper formats then give Kerley a James Jones might be the most underrated Fantasy receiver out there chance.

And he played in 91.5 percent of snaps for the this season. The Broncos have Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Packers, according to Pro Football Focus. Jones should further benefit Wes Welker on the roster, so King would be No. 4 at best.

Sanu has plenty of potential as evidenced by outings. That’s an excellent model of consistency for owners to note, his breakout run last year but the condition of his foot will be a major and that’s with a mediocre passer. Shorts can probably be had as a factor in whether or not he’ll get to pick up where he left off. If he’s a borderline No. 2/No. 3 Fantasy receiver, reducing his risk on Draft Day regular in training camp and even lands a couple of preseason starts to a Round-6 selection. then he’d be in the mix as a good reserve receiver with a late-round pick. Jerome Simpson, Free Agent The Vikings had hopes Jerome Simpson would be serviceable as Dane Sanzenbacher, Bengals Bye 12 the team’s No. 2 receiver in 2012. He was for a handful of plays, but Dane Sanzenbacher will battle for playing time in training camp this his production left a lot to be desired as he failed to score a single summer.

He’s a free agent this offseason looking for a place to play but no one should think of him as Chaz Schilens, Free Agent a reputable Fantasy option. Chaz Schilens is a free agent this offseason, and the 28-year-old receiver will likely be looking for a job if the Jets don’t bring him back Matt Slater, Patriots Bye 10 as expected. Schilens spent 2012 with the Jets, but he had just 28 Matt Slater is a reserve receiver for the Patriots and spends most catches for 289 yards and two touchdowns. He’s never had more than of his time on special teams. In four seasons he has one catch for two touchdowns in a year, and his upside is minimal. Keep an eye on 46 yards and only one carry for 6 yards. He should not be drafted in where he signs, but Schilens is not worth drafting in the majority of any standard Fantasy formats this season since he’s still looking for leagues. consistent playing time on offense.

As a he has minimal Fantasy value as a reserve receiver. Even if he makes receiver he has 37 catches for 393 yards and three touchdowns in the final roster, he would not be worth drafting in the majority of two years with the Bills. He does have 203 rushing yards and two leagues. touchdowns over that span, but his main value is in the return game. He had 18 kickoff returns for 496 yards and a touchdown in 2012, so in Jordan Shipley, Jaguars Bye 9 leagues where count he has value with a late-round pick. The Jaguars found a niche for Jordan Shipley last season after he bottomed out with the Bengals and Buccaneers last year.

And here’s a fun fact: Smith hasn’t posted consecutive seasons with less than seven touchdowns since 2001-02 (we’re throwing out 2004 when he got hurt in Week 1). Smith’s age makes him scary - he’ll be 34 when the season starts - but he’s still worth drafting as a No. 2 receiver, albeit a low-end one, with a pick starting in Round 6. 91 wide receiver (cont.)

Niles Paul, Redskins Bye 5 Niles Paul will compete for a role with the Redskins this season, but his production is expected to be limited. Keep an eye on his stats early in the year, but he should not be drafted in the majority of leagues. 104 tight end (Cont.)

Even if he makes the final roster, he’s not expected to Allen Reisner, Jaguars Bye 9 produce enough stats for Fantasy use. Keep him off of rosters.

But he has just one catch in two Fantasy rosters. seasons for five yards, and it’s hard to see him do anything this year with Jacob Tamme and Joel Dreessen ahead of him on the depth chart.

No one should draft Stocker until we see how he’s being used in training camp but he does carry a little sleeper potential. Taylor Thompson, Titans Bye 8 Taylor Thompson probably doesn’t have much of a chance to break Zach Sudfeld, Patriots Bye 10 out after catching six passes last season and playing behind Delanie Here’s the skinny on Sudfeld: He’s a 6-foot-7, 250-pound matchup Walker and a number of receivers this season. Though we’ve always nightmare who was a solid all-around athlete at Nevada but missed liked the potential of Thompson, he’s probably just not going to play nearly two full seasons because of injuries. In fact, according to enough to be an asset in Fantasy. NFLDraftScout.com/CBSSports.com’s Dane Brugler, Sudfeld had six surgeries in his first five years at school (he was there six years) Levine Toilolo, Falcons Bye 6 including work on his shoulder, leg, knee and wrist.

He was the backup to Zach Ertz Jacob Tamme didn’t have the breakout season many hoped for in 2012 at Stanford for good reason: His blocking is so-so and has had his fair when he followed Peyton Manning from Indianapolis to Denver. But share of drops. No doubt, he’s a project pick for the Falcons, but they Tamme still played well, and maybe this is the year his breakout per- won’t need him anytime soon with Gonzalez around. Minimal stats are formance will happen. Tamme had 52 catches for 555 yards and two expected -- he’s only worth a late pick in dynasty/keeper league drafts touchdowns in 2012. He split playing time with Joel Dreessen, which and a mid-to-late pick in rookie-only drafts. hindered his production, and Tamme had just two games with double digits in Fantasy points. If you’re looking at Tamme and Dreessen, Delanie Walker, Titans Bye 8 consider Tamme the better option just based on targets since Tamme Delanie Walker signed with the Titans this offseason where he will had 85 compared to Dreessen’s 58. But if you’re comparing Tamme to be the No. 1 tight end. Walker spent the first seven years of his career other Fantasy tight ends, you might consider him a second-tier option, with the 49ers, and he had the most success in 2012 with 21 catches especially with the addition of Wes Welker. He’s not worth drafting for 344 yards and three touchdowns. Granted, he’s never been a in most formats and should be considered just an injury or bye-week starter, but Walker is not a No. 1 Fantasy tight end even with the new replacement. opportunity. He could end up as a bye-week or injury replacement, but he should not be drafted in most formats even though he’s now the Ryan Taylor, Packers Bye 4 starter in Tennessee. Ryan Taylor has some long-term potential for the Packers but shouldn’t be a part of Fantasy plans. Why? Because he’s buried on the depth chart behind starter Jermichael Finley. Until that changes, keep him off rosters. 106 tight end (Cont.) Benjamin Watson, Saints Bye 7 Jason Witten, Cowboys Bye 11 Veteran Benjamin Watson signed with the Saints to serve as their The Cowboys might have drafted Jason Witten’s successor this season backup tight end behind Jimmy Graham.

This is the fourth time since 2007 he’s had at least 94 owners shouldn’t spend any attention on him. catches and 1,000 receiving yards. The problem for Witten is his lack of touchdowns since he’s scored more than five times just once since D.J. Williams, Packers Bye 4 2008. But that hasn’t kept Witten from being an elite Fantasy option D.J. Williams made seven catches for 57 yards in his second season since he’s been a Top 5 tight end four times since 2007 (he was No. and will battle to improve on that total in 2013. But so long as he 5 last year with 115 points in a standard league). Witten also has Tony plays behind starter Jermichael Finley, playing time will be limited for Romo’s eye since he led the team and all tight ends with 147 targets, him. If that changes then Williams could serve as a big-time sleeper. and we expect Romo to continue looking in Witten’s direction a lot. Until then, it might be a while before the 6-foot-2 tight end makes an He’s worth drafting as early as Round 4 in the majority of leagues with impact. his value slightly higher in PPR formats.

Michael Williams, Lions Bye 9 The Lions selected Alabama tight end Michael Williams in April’s draft. Williams is a behemoth (6-foot-6, 278 pounds) who is better at block- ing than receiving. We saw him up close at the Senior Bowl in January and came away disappointed. He’s only worth a late-round look in rookie-only drafts.

Luke Wilson, Seahawks Bye 12 The Seahawks drafted tight end Luke Wilson in the fifth round of the NFL Draft from Rice. Wilson has plenty of upside at 6 feet 5, 252 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.51 seconds. Wilson had a nag- ging ankle injury during his senior year and also played the same posi- tion as Vance McDonald, who the 49ers drafted in the second round. The Seahawks have Zach Miller, the highest-paid tight end in the league this season, and Anthony McCoy, who Seattle drafted in the sixth round in 2010. Wilson might be a playmaker for the Seahawks down the road, but he has minimal Fantasy value now in seasonal leagues. Pass on him in standard formats this year, but he’s worth a late-round pick in rookie-only leagues.

Kellen Winslow, Jets Bye 10 Kellen Winslow landed a spot on the Jets roster after a strong tryout in June. Once a standout Fantasy tight end, Winslow appeared in one game with New England in Week 3. He had one catch for 12 yards on two targets before being granted his release because he wasn’t healthy. Now he says he’s fine but his knees have been worked on for years and any minor tweak could send him to the bench. Winslow isn’t worth drafting even if he appears to be a decent option after training camp with Gang Green. 107 kickers David Akers, Lions Bye 9 Randy Bullock, Texans Bye 8 David Akers landed on his feet after the 49ers cut him in February. He Randy Bullock is slated to be the Texans’ kicker after a torn groin signed with the Lions in April, and that might be a slight upgrade. He wiped out his rookie year. The 5-foot-9, 205-pound Bullock was the joins a high-powered offense and gets to kick indoors at home. This first kicker drafted by Houston -- ever. He won the Lou Groza award in could be the boost Akers needs after his amazing fall from grace. In college, honoring the nation’s top kicker, after connecting on 29 of 32 2011, Akers was the No. 1 kicker in all Fantasy leagues. Akers had 186 field-goal attempts in 2011. The Texans should give Bullock plenty of Fantasy points in a standard league and made 44 of 52 field goals with chances to hit field goals, making him a decent final-round pick that seven kicks of at least 50 yards and 34 extra points. But in 2012, he other owners might not be educated on. fell apart with 131 points. He missed eight field goals and his conver- sion rate of 69 percent was the lowest in his career. He should rebound Dan Carpenter, Dolphins Bye 6 with the Lions, and Akers is still worth a last-round pick in the majority Dan Carpenter is looking for a new job after he was cut by the Dolphins of leagues. He will once again be a No. 1 Fantasy option this season. in the middle of training camp. He was replaced by rookie Caleb Sturgis, and now Carpenter will hope to land with a new team. In 2012, Dan Bailey, Cowboys Bye 11 Carpenter made 22 of 27 field goals and 26 extra points. He missed Dan Bailey has been the Cowboys kicker for the past two seasons, and the final two games with a groin injury. Carpenter did make at least 29 he’s been a top-12 Fantasy kicker both times. He was No. 7 in Fantasy field goals in consecutive years from 2010-11, but he’s also missed at points in 2011 with 139, and even though his production dropped last least five field goals in each of the past three seasons. Keep an eye on year to 130 points, he finished at No. 12. Last year, Bailey made 29 of where he lands, but Carpenter would only be a No. 2 Fantasy kicker at 31 field goals and all 37 extra points. He had three 50-yard field goals, best. and he should remain productive again. Bailey has all the qualities you look for in a Fantasy kicker: good offense, indoor stadium and Mason Crosby, Packers Bye 4 accuracy. Plan on drafting him with a last-round pick. Mason Crosby might be on the hot seat after a rather disappointing 2012 where he hit 21 of 33 field goals (a yucky 63.6 pct.) including 2 Connor Barth, Buccaneers Bye 5 of 9 from 50-plus yards. So while he’s continued to attempt at least Buccaneers kicker Connor Barth will miss the 2013 season after 28 field goals per season, he’s taken a step back. And the truth is he’s suffering a torn Achilles just before the start of training camp. He is topped 80 percent of his field goals just once. If you draft Crosby on expected to make a full recovery in time for the 2014 season, but he the merit of him being the Packers kicker that’s one thing, but don’t should not be drafted this year. commit to him if you can find a more reliable option off waivers. No one should take him before the final round, if at all. Rob Bironas, Titans Bye 8 Rob Bironas might no longer be considered a quality Fantasy kicker Phil Dawson, 49ers Bye 9 worthy of a pick on Draft Day. Last season he hit 25 of 31 field goals Phil Dawson signed with the 49ers in March, giving him a chance to for a six-season low of 80.6 pct. made. He also made just one of two play for a contender after spending his entire career with the Browns. attempts from 50-plus yards and a disappointing 5 of 10 kicks from 40 This is a move we like a lot -- Dawson has made at least 82.1 percent of to 49 yards. Bironas is risky if he’s going to hit just over 80 percent of his field goals annually since 2007 and had a very good year with 29 his field goals but it’s worth noting the Titans have attempted 30-plus of 31 field goals made in 2012 including a perfect 7 of 7 from 50-plus field goals in five of the last six seasons, a pretty good mark and a yards. Over his last two seasons he’s made 14 of 15 from 50-plus yards, good indication of what to expect from Bironas in terms of opportu- which is pretty darn good. For the first time in a while, Dawson de- nity. You’re probably better off looking for him off waivers. serves a draft pick by Fantasy owners. We recommend owners taking him with one of their final two selections. Matt Bryant, Falcons Bye 6 Matt Bryant had another solid year in 2012, making just over 85 Jay Feely, Cardinals Bye 9 percent of his field goals for the third year in a row. Bryant nailed 33 of Jay Feely is a good kicker, but Fantasy owners need the Cardinals 38 field goals (including all four from 50-plus yards) and hit 44 extra offense to be more successful to count on him. Feely made 25 of 28 points. With the offense expected to remain prolific, there’s no reason field goals in 2012, including two from at least 50 yards and a long of to doubt Bryant as one of the top kicking options in Fantasy. Consider 61. He also added 25 extra points, but he finished as just the No. 23 Bryant a reliable leg worth picking in the last round of your Fantasy Fantasy kicker in standard leagues. If the Cardinals can move the ball draft. with more success in 2013 and give Feely more scoring chances then he will be a kicker to use in the majority of leagues. But he has to prove himself first. He should not be drafted in most formats, and instead should just be added off the waiver wire if he starts out the season playing well. 108 Kickers (Cont.) Nick Folk, Jets Bye 10 Shayne Graham, Browns Bye 10 Nick Folk is back with the Jets this year after signing a one-year Shayne Graham is set to replace Phil Dawson as the Browns’ place- contract. He finished 2012 with the Jets, but he converted just 21 of 27 kicker this season. It’s a job that could lead to some productive weeks field goals and 30 extra points. In six years, Folk has just one season as the Browns have re-tooled their offense and should be more aggres- with 30 field goals, which was 2010. He is more of a No. 2 Fantasy sive than in the past. Last year with Houston, Graham hit 31 of 38 field kicker, and he should not be drafted in the majority of leagues. goals and was 4 of 9 from 50-plus yards. He’s hit at least 80 percent of his field goals every year since 2003, so assuming he gets around Kai Forbath, Redskins Bye 5 30 field goal tries with the Browns he could be decent. You might not Kai Forbath has the look of a quality Fantasy kicker based on his even have to draft Graham but rather find him off waivers when the production in 2012. After joining the team in early October, Forbath season starts. became a valuable member of Washington’s offense and connected on his first 17 field-goal attempts during the regular season. He missed Garrett Hartley, Saints Bye 7 his only kick in Week 17, and he also added 33 extra points. Fantasy Garrett Hartley didn’t have many field goal opportunities in 2012, owners should consider him a low-end option at the end of drafts for kicking 18 of 22 including 3 of 4 from 50-plus yards. He made 57 extra the 2013 season as the Redskins’ offense should continue to improve points, giving him a grand total of 117 Fantasy points. If this was the next year. first time Hartley had attempted under 30 field goals we’d probably be more willing to recommend him as a good Fantasy kicker. But the guy Graham Gano, Panthers Bye 4 has never attempted more than 25 kicks in a season in his career! And Graham Gano ended 2012 as the Panthers kicker, a job he’ll have a here’s another nugget: Since Sean Payton has become head coach, chance to keep in 2013.

But with a 74.7 career field goal per- Hartley might be on a team with an explosive offense but there’s not centage including 5 of 11 made from 50-plus yards, chances are he’ll going to be as many opportunities there as there are for other kickers. be on a short leash with the Panthers.

Steven Hauschka, Seahawks Bye 12 Stephen Gostkowski, Patriots Bye 10 Steven Hauschka re-signed with the Seahawks this offseason as Stephen Gostkowski was the No. 1 Fantasy kicker in 2012, and we expected even though he was a free agent. Hauschka made 24 of 27 expect him to repeat in 2013 since he plays for a high-powered offense field goals in 2012 with a long of 52 yards. It was his lone field goal with plenty of chances to succeed. Gostkowski made 29 of 35 field of 50-plus yards, and all three of his misses were from 50-plus yards. goals in 2012 with 66 extra points. Only four kickers had more than He also made 46 of 48 extra points. In two years with the Seahawks, 50 extra points (Gostkowski, Garrett Hartley, Matt Prater and Mason Hauschka has made 49 of 57 field goals. He remains just a No. 2 Crosby), but Gostkowski was the only one above 60. He had double Fantasy kicker even with his return to the Seahawks and is not worth digits in Fantasy points in 10 games, and this is now the third time in drafting in most leagues. his career he had had more than 55 extra points. He should post qual- ity stats again in 2013, and he is worth drafting with a late-round pick Alex Henery, Eagles Bye 12 in all leagues. Alex Henery has the chance to be an elite Fantasy kicker. He just needs more help from his offense. Henery has made 51 field goals in Robbie Gould, Bears Bye 8 two years, and he was a solid Fantasy option as a rookie in 2011 when Bears kicker Robbie Gould was a so-so Fantasy kicker in 2012 thanks he had 46 extra points. But his extra points dropped to 25 last season, to an injury that cost him three games and a lack of opportunities. which hurt his value. Henery had just three games with double digits In total Gould hit 21 of 25 field goals including a perfect 2 of 2 from in Fantasy points, and he finished No. 21 among kickers with 106 points 50-plus yards. Typically Gould attempts around 30 field goals a year for the year. If you give him back the 21 extra points he had from 2011 and has fluctuated between 83.3 percent and 89.7 percent accuracy he would have been No. 13 in Fantasy points for the year, so you can on field goals over his last seven seasons, which is why he’s appeal- see the potential is there. Henery will likely go undrafted in the major- ing for Fantasy. With Marc Trestman’s alleged high-powered offense ity of leagues, but he’s a great bye-week replacement. And if he starts taking residence in Chicago, the field goal attempts should continue off the season kicking at a high level then don’t hesitate to add him off for Gould. Consider him among your options with a final-round pick on the waiver wire. Draft Day. 109 Kickers (Cont.) Dustin Hopkins, Bills Bye 12 Matt Prater, Broncos Bye 9 The Bills drafted kicker Dustin Hopkins in the sixth round of the NFL Matt Prater proved to be one of the best Fantasy kickers in 2012, and Draft out of Florida State. Hopkins will compete with veteran Rian Lin- he will try to build on that performance this season. Prater finished dell for the starting job, but even if Hopkins wins he would be just a No. No. 7 in Fantasy points last year with 26 of 32 field goals made and all 2 Fantasy kicker at best. Keep an eye on what develops with Hopkins 55 extra points. He was third in the NFL in extra points behind Stephen and Lindell in training camp, but don’t plan on drafting Hopkins in the Gostkowski (66) and Garrett Hartley (57), and he made three kicks majority of leagues. from 50-plus yards. We consider Prater a No. 1 Fantasy option, and he’s worth drafting with a last-round pick in all leagues. Sebastian Janikowski, Raiders Bye 7 Sebastian Janikowski continues to prove he’s among the best Fantasy Josh Scobee, Jaguars Bye 9 kickers, and he should be drafted as a starter with a late-round pick While Josh Scobee made 25 of 28 field goals last season (89.3 pct.) in all leagues. In 2012, Janikowski was 31 for 34 in field-goal attempts he still disappointed from a Fantasy perspective. He missed one of and had a long of 57 yards. He actually was 6 for 9 from 50-plus yards two kicks from 50-plus yards and only attempted 19 extra points (he this year and posted a double-digit Fantasy total in five of his 16 games missed one). That limited work made him an unappealing Fantasy on the year. This is the third year in a row Janikowski has made at least option. While the Jaguars’ offense figures to be a little better in 2013, 31 field goals, and he should continue to be an excellent weapon for we still wouldn’t draft Scobee. There are simply too many other great the Raiders and Fantasy owners. Fantasy kickers out there to survey with a final-round pick.

The Steelers’ offense losing key pieces makes 40-plus yards (he was 1 of 2 from 50-plus yards). The Bengals’ offense Suisham all the less desirable.

Caleb Sturgis, Dolphins Bye 6 Greg Zuerlein, Rams Bye 11 The Dolphins drafted Caleb Sturgis in the fifth round of the NFL Draft Greg Zuerlein is hoping for another hot start this season, but he hopes out of the University of Florida, and he will be the team’s kicker this to have a complete year and not just a good beginning like he did in season after beating out Dan Carpenter in training camp. Sturgis 2012. Last year, which was Zuerlein’s rookie campaign, he earned has the chance to put up plenty of points with the Dolphins and their the nicknames “Greg the Leg” and “Legatron” for his performance up-and-coming offense, but he remains a No. 2 Fantasy option coming through the first four weeks of the season. He made his first 12 field into the season. He is not worth drafting in the majority of leagues and goals, including three from 50-plus yards and one from 60 yards. He should only be considered a bye-week replacement to open the year. had three games with double digits in Fantasy points over that span, but he cooled off from there with only two games with double digits in Justin Tucker, Ravens Bye 8 Fantasy points from Week 5 on. We like Zuerlein as a potential starting The Ravens made a smart move by adding rookie Justin Tucker last option in all leagues, but he’s only worth a last-round pick at best. If season as he stands now as one of the top kickers in football. In 2012 he goes undrafted then consider him a great bye-week replacement he made 30 of 33 field goals, including 4 of 4 from 50-plus yards. With during the year. Baltimore’s offense becoming more aggressive, there could be a simi- lar amount of opportunities for Tucker to attempt field goals in 2013. We’d take him with a pick in the second-to-last round of your draft.

Lawrence Tynes, Buccaneers Bye 5 Buccaneers kicker Lawrence Tynes signed in Tampa Bay when Connor Barth (Achilles) was lost for the year. The Bucs lucked out that Tynes was available coming off the best year of his career with 33 field goals in 2012 for the Giants. We consider Tynes a No. 2 Fantasy kicker, but he’s a great bye-week replacement. And if your starting kicker gets off to a slow start then don’t hesitate to grab Tynes, who has been solid during his tenure with the Giants.

Adam Vinatieri, Colts Bye 8 Adam Vinatieri remains the Colts’ kicker after another fairly rough season. After grinding through a tough 2011, he made 26 of 33 field goals in 2012 including 4 of 7 from 50-plus yards. Though Indy’s of- fense should be potent again in 2013, we wouldn’t draft Vinatieri but would recommend him as a one-week replacement.

Blair Walsh, Vikings Bye 5 Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson might have been impact rookies in 2012, but so was kicker Blair Walsh. He accounted for 141 points with Minnesota, hitting 35 of 38 field goals including a perfect 10 of 10 from 50-plus yards. He also hit all 36 of his extra points. That’s good enough to make him the best kicker you could ask for in Fantasy in 2013. It is worth noting that this was the first time in four seasons the Vikings were among the top 10 in field-goal attempts but with the offense figuring to only add talent and the team having a ton of faith in Walsh, it makes sense to come out of the gate trusting him on your Fantasy team. Use one of your last two picks on him. 111 DST Bye 9 Bye 9 The 49ers DST benefits from several things, mainly some talented The Broncos DST was among the best in all leagues in 2012, and players (Patrick Willis, Aldon Smith, NaVorro Bowman, Justin Smith the unit should continue to dominate this year.

The 49ers had three defensive accounted for 16 interceptions. The Broncos DST also scored eight touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 38 sacks and 11 fumble recoveries, and touchdowns, with two coming on special teams from Trindon Holliday, they should remain an elite Fantasy option this year. Plan on drafting and they were among the league leaders at just 18 points per game the 49ers DST as a No. 1 unit, and they should be selected with a late- on average. The best thing about the Broncos DST is their schedule round pick in all formats on Draft Day, as early as Round 12. since they get six games against rebuilding offenses in Kansas City, San Diego and Oakland.

The Browns run defense ranked eighth (101.7 rush yards per game and six rush hired Ray Horton to coordinate the defense after he and the Cardinals touchdowns allowed all season) and the pass defense pitched in, parted ways. The Browns will move to a 3-4 front and spent a lot of ranking eighth (213.9 yards per game). Now, can they do it again? The money in free agency to make the unit look good.

Any bonus you can get from Devin for some big moves we’d look for the Browns DST off waivers as a Hester returning to full-time kick-return duties will help too. The Bears one-week replacement. DST is worth one of your last four picks. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bye 5 Bye 12 Tampa Bay’s run defense was excellent in 2012, but its pass defense One of the best kept secrets in the NFL is the incredible play of the left a lot to be desired. The Bucs allowed just 1,320 rush yards and 13 Bengals’ defense. Last year the team had the delightful combination touchdowns on the ground over 16 games but yielded over 4,700 pass- of good health and talent to tally 52 sacks, 15 interceptions, 16 forced ing yards and 30 scores through the air.

The secondary, of talent they have, there’s no reason to believe it won’t continue, at least on paper, is one of the best in the league (don’t forget safety especially as the Steelers, Ravens and Browns go through varying Mark Barron) but questions persist about how much work they’ll deal growing pains offensively. Expect the Bengals DST to be picked in the with given the lack of an established pass rush. The Bucs will welcome second-to-last round of drafts this summer. back pass rusher Adrian Clayborn, who missed most of the 2012 cam- paign with a knee injury and have Da’Quan Bowers in the fold there Bye 12 too.

San Diego Chargers Bye 8 Miami Dolphins Bye 6 The Chargers DST played well in 2012, and they will look to build off The Dolphins DST has the ability to be a quality Fantasy unit in 2013, that performance this season. The Chargers were a top-10 Fantasy DST but it needs to generate more turnovers, and hopefully the addition of last year with 38 sacks, 14 fumble recoveries, nine defensive touch- free agent Dannell Ellerbe will help. In 2012, the Dolphins were among downs and 14 interceptions. While the overall stats were good, part of the league leaders in sacks with 42. They were above average in run the reason for the success was an easy schedule. The Chargers had 10 defense at No. 13 in yards allowed (1,734) but mediocre in pass defense games with double digits in Fantasy points in a standard league but at No. 27 (3,974 yards allowed). The problem, however, was turnovers. three games with five points or less. They also had three huge games Miami had just 10 interceptions on the season and six fumble recover- against the Chiefs (twice) and Jets with at least 24 Fantasy points in ies, which ranked in the bottom 10 in the NFL in both categories. If each contest. We expect the Chargers DST to continue to play well Miami can improve in that area then the Dolphins DST should rise. Go this season, and they are worth drafting with a late-round pick as your into this season with the unit as a No. 2 Fantasy option on Draft Day, starting option. and they can be a useful bye-week replacement if they start off the season playing at a high level. Bye 10 The Chiefs DST has potential to be a solid unit in 2013. They just have Bye 12 to play up to their level of talent. The Chiefs have players The Eagles DST can only improve this season since they were last in Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson and Eric Berry, and Justin Houston in Fantasy points in 2012 with 96 in a standard league. The Eagles had double digits in sacks in 2012. But even with that the Chiefs still DST was the only team that failed to reach 100 points with just eight finished second-to-last in Fantasy points. They were near the bottom interceptions, 30 sacks, five fumble recoveries and one defensive or last in sacks (27), interceptions (seven), fumble recoveries (six) touchdown. New defensive coordinator Billy Davis has his work cut and points allowed (425). New defensive coordinator Bob Sutton has out for him, but the Eagles still have plenty of talent to succeed with his work cut out for him, and we hope the Chiefs DST can improve. Trent Cole, DeMeco Ryans and Pat Chung leading the way. And the They won’t get drafted in the majority of leagues, but they should be possible change from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme might help as well. Don’t considered a bye-week replacement in most formats. draft the Eagles DST in the majority of leagues, but keep an eye on their progress to start the season. If they get off to a good start then Bye 8 add them off the waiver wire. The Colts defense didn’t do a whole heck of a lot to take steps forward in 2012, ranking 29th vs. the run and 21st against the pass. Robert Bye 6 Mathis led the way with eight of the team’s 32 sacks while Darius The Falcons DST was a Top 10 Fantasy option in 2012, and they have Butler and Vontae Davis totaled seven of the team’s 12 interceptions. the chance to be a starting option again this season.

They remain a longshot to help Fantasy owners as among the leaders in interceptions (No. 6) with 20 and points allowed anything more than a one-week replacement option off waivers. (No. 5) with 299. If they can create more sacks (just 29) and find the end zone a couple more times they could emerge as an elite option. Bye 11 Consider the Falcons a late-round flier if you miss on the top DST units The Cowboys DST was among the most disappointing units in 2012. or grab them as a bye-week replacement during the year. The Cowboys DST was drafted as a starting option last year but fin- ished No. 27 in Fantasy points.

Rob Ryan was fired as defensive Michael Boley and Chase Blackburn will play for new teams this coordinator, and Monte Kiffin was brought in. The unit will switch from season. But based on who’s left, the Giants are pretty good. Jason a 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme and run Kiffin’s famous “Tampa 2” defense, Pierre-Paul, Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka will handle the pass but anything should be better than last year. We don’t consider the rush, and Antrelle Rolle will lead the secondary. The Giants should Cowboys DST worth drafting in most formats, but they are a unit to be considered a low-end starting DST option, and hopefully they can watch. If Kiffin can turn this defense around quickly they could be rebound from a poor 2012 season when they had just 21 interceptions, worth adding off the waiver wire. 33 sacks and 14 fumble recoveries. Plan on drafting the Giants DST with a late-round pick in all leagues. 113 DST (Cont.) Bye 9 Bye 4 Gus Bradley’s arrival in Jacksonville signals a change in coaching Carolina’s defense is trending in the right direction after picking up philosophies as the former Seahawks defensive boss will bring his 39 sacks and holding opponents to 3,568 passing yards and 1,761 attacking ways to Northeast Florida.

The Patriots DST had some big games in 2012 Maybe that will change in 2013, but the Jets DST should be considered with at least 20 Fantasy points in a standard league in four games, but just a No. 2 Fantasy option in the majority of leagues, especially with they also had single digits in five other outings. The good thing for the Darrelle Revis now in Tampa Bay. Rookie Dee Milliner will try and Patriots is they create plenty of turnovers with 20 interceptions and 21 replace Revis, but he has big shoes to fill. We would not draft the Jets fumble recoveries. This is now the third year in a row with at least 34 DST in the majority of leagues. turnovers. A more consistent pass rush would help since they had just 36 sacks in 2012, which is the third year in a row they’ve been at 40 Bye 9 or fewer.

But until 443 points. In the past two years, the Raiders have allowed 876 points, it’s proven that those two additions will bring the heat, no one should which is ridiculously bad.

Based on the stats, it’s easy to pass on the Raiders DST on Draft Day. Bye 4 The Packers defense was flimsy in 2012, but their DST was fine for St. Louis Rams Bye 11 Fantasy for the second year in a row. Scoring only two touchdowns The Rams DST is hoping to build off its performance in 2012 when it (Randall Cobb contributed another on a punt return), the Packers was actually a top-10 Fantasy option. The reason was St. Louis’ ability defense racked up a whopping 47 sacks, a huge turn around from last to rush the passer. The Rams tied Denver and Cincinnati for the most year. They faltered against the pass, getting just 18 interceptions sacks in the NFL with 52. Leading the way were Chris Long (11.5 sacks) after landing 31 of them in 2011 but did hold opponents to 218.3 pass and Robert Quinn (10.5). Janoris Jenkins and Cortland Finnegan also yards per game. Steps in pass defense will only help the unit improve combined for seven interceptions, with Jenkins returning three for although the offense plays at such a pace that the defense can’t touchdowns.

Even waiver wire following Draft Day. with a fairly tough schedule to begin the season and an early bye in Week 5, the Packers DST is worth a final round pick in drafts. 114 DST (Cont.) Baltimore Ravens Bye 8 Pittsburgh Steelers Bye 5 The turnover on the Ravens defense following the Super Bowl was You might think the Steelers DST is old and weak and not what they alarming but the team did a very nice job picking up veteran and used to be. Technically you’d be right as they finished with worse- rookie talent to fix the holes. The most notable signing is linebacker than-expected stats in 2012. As the 12th-ranked DST, the unit had 37 Elvis Dumervil, who should replace Paul Kruger effectively as a pass sacks but just 10 interceptions with one total touchdown. So despite rusher.

It’s worth one of your feel some pain. The AFC North’s offenses are getting better and the last two picks on Draft Day. Just be warned that they get off to a tough Steelers defense isn’t turning over fast enough, so this might be the start at Denver in Week 1. year to not overvalue the DST. If you don’t get them with a final-round pick, don’t shed tears -- it only means someone else reached for them. Washington Redskins Bye 5 The Redskins DST has plenty of work to do this year after a disappoint- Houston Texans Bye 8 ing campaign in 2012. The Redskins were among the NFL leaders with The Texans DST has become one of the top options in Fantasy, but 21 interceptions, but they struggled to create sacks (32), fumbles they’re not at the top like they were last season. True, the unit had (nine) or score touchdowns (four). Getting Brian Orakpo and Adam 48 sacks with 16 interceptions, 17 forced fumbles (14 recovered) and Carriker back from injury will definitely help the pass rush, and their five touchdowns, but they lost a couple of key starters in free agency presence alone could make the Redskins DST a sleeper. Keep an eye (Glover Quin, Connor Barwin) and might have a hard time replacing on the Redskins DST early in the season, and if they start out playing them. Then again, they’ll get Brian Cushing back from injury and if well consider adding them off the waiver wire. he’s working alongside Brooks Reed, J.J.

Though they added some promising 12 option as they ranked 26th against the pass and 24th against the players like Keenan Lewis, Victor Butler and rookies Kenny Vaccaro run. The numbers are surprising considering the overall types of talent and John Jenkins, we wouldn’t run the risk of drafting the Saints DST. they have in all three levels of the defense but the reality is they’ve struggled to stay disciplined and have found ways to give up gobs Bye 12 of yardage and points despite the perceived talent (a league-worst The Seahawks DST turned out to be among the best units in 2012, 29.4 points per game!).

There’s hope for the future after they replaced veteran cornerback Antoine Winfield with rookie Xavier Rhodes and added defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd to their line. Their schedule is tough but not as dangerous as others. For now they’re among the DSTs you might consider with a final-round pick in drafts.
