Household Product

Odell Beckham Jr. has undoubtedly become a household name in just his second season out of LSU. Some have already labeled him as the greatest receiver in NFL history. When brakes are applied, it is imperative that the superstar New York Giant still has many accomplishments to achieve.

So far, Beckham has gained 1,320 receiving yards and scored twelve touchdowns through thirteen games, including six consecutive games with at least 100 yards. He finished with seven catches, 166 yards and two touchdown scores with the game-winning score coming on an 84-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Miami Dolphins (5-8) in Sun Life Stadium on Monday night (31-24).

Perhaps OBJ could be one of the greatest eventually. Until then, veteran cornerback Josh Norman and the Carolina Panthers (13-0) will take a crack at the household product that cannot be found under the kitchen sink.

As the Fantasy playoffs continue, be mindful that studs can turn into duds and un-heard-of players can get hot at crucial points. Week 15 sleepers..

Mr. Robinson

Jaguars are said to run in excess of 64 miles per hour. They usually run to chase down prey or escape a larger threat.

One Jaguar in particular has been clocked at top speeds of around 20 miles per hour and is known to be a lethal threat to defensive secondary units.

Jacksonville Jaguars (4-8) star receiver Allen Robinson prowled the Tennessee Titans (3-9) defensive backfield as if he was lurking through the Amazon Basin. The second-year Penn State product pulled in ten catches for 153 yards and three touchdown scores in a losing effort Sunday afternoon in Nashville.

The 6' 3" receiver has scored a touchdown in all but four games this season (13 games). The twenty-two year-old has also accumulated at least 110 receiving yards in three of the last five games.

To assume he's on fire would be absurd. More accurately, he's just Allen Robinson. Spot on.

Robbing the Cradle

Doug Baldwin torched the Steelers young and often unaware secondary on Sunday afternoon. The safeties were pointing at the cornerbacks, while the cornerbacks point at the referees. Baldwin points to the scoreboard, which read Seahawks 39 Visitors 30 at the game's end.

The 27-year-old native of Gulf Breeze, Florida hauled in six catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns as the Seattle Seahawks (6-5) proved to be too much for the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5).

He's still just 'alright'.

The Stanford University alumnus has 50 catches for 684 yards and 6 touchdowns through eleven games, while sporting a 5 foot 10, 189 pound frame. Baldwin has at least six catches and has averaged 113 yards per game since the Seahawks bye in week nine. They visit Minnesota to take on the 8-3 Vikings this Sunday afternoon. Will he survive?

Sporty Sparty

The sparrow's chirp spliced with a squirrel's squeal creates an uncanny, natural ensemble. Replace the elements with a trumpet and saxophone, and the fusion of sounds become melodic.

   "Touchdown, Langford...!", was music to the ears of owners who were lucky enough to have Chicago Bears (4-5) running back Jeremy Langford in their starting lineup Sunday. The rookie from Michigan State was vital for victory to owners, especially for those who to started the season 1-7. Langford was also a key component for the Bears, with a 182 scrimmage yard - two touchdown (one rushing, one receiving) performance as they mauled the St. Louis Rams 37-13. The 6 foot, 208 pound tailback has filled in nicely for Matt Forte, who is currently sidelined with an MCL sprain. Looking ahead to week eleven...

AB84

Being overlooked can be discouraging, especially when you feel your level of performance is elite. Antonio Brown was overlooked by most of the nation as a high school recruit, coming out of Miami, Florida. He attended Central Michigan with a gigantic chip on his shoulder.

No one is ignoring the twenty-seven year-old multi-purpose Swiss Army knife anymore as Brown tests the discipline of defensive units each week. He clearly earned top Fantasy honors for week nine, hauling in seventeen receptions for 284 yards as the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) squeaked by the Oakland Raiders (4-4) with the score of 38-35 on Sunday.
Brown has sixty-nine catches and 1,002 receiving yards through nine games. He will face a Joe Haden-less Cleveland (2-7) secondary with Landry Jones under center for Pittsburgh.

Look past him at your own risk.

One Win

Although the Big Twelve championship isn't scheduled until December, the most accurate precursor of the collegiate contest was Sunday afternoon. Quarterback Drew Brees led the New Orleans Saints (4-4) to a 52-49 victory over the New York Giants (4-4), extending their winning streak to three consecutive after a 1-4 start.

The Purdue alumnus put on a rather video game-like display in week eight, logging 505 passing yards while tossing seven touchdown scores. Brees' counterpart, Eli Manning threw six touchdowns in a losing effort. Drew-Orleans will take on a dismal Tennessee Titans (1-6) unit desperate for success in week nine. One win at a time...

Speed Kills

It's funny how a collection of players can put such a bad product on the field one week, then perform like champions when the head coach has been replaced.

The Miami Dolphins (3-4) appeared to turn into competitors, although it helps to look across the field at the Houston Texans (2-5) for positive motivation. Starting running back Lamar Miller took full advantage of the match up disparity Sunday as Miami defeated Houston 44-26 behind a spectacular performance by the former Hurricane, gaining 236 scrimmage yards while scoring a rushing and receiving touchdown. This earned Miller top Fantasy recognition for week seven. And now, sleepers for week eight.

Nuk 'Em

Would you take A. J. Green and Antonio Gates in a trade for Alfred Morris and DeAndre Hopkins?
On paper, Team A is offering two top-notch Fantasy performers for Team B's perennial player and an under-achieving tailback. Although this particular proposal looks lopsided for Team A, Team B will be losing "Nuk" - the top receiver in Fantasy through the first six weeks of the 2015 season. Dilemma?

Houston Texans (2-4) star receiver DeAndre Hopkins got medieval on the Jags secondary on Sunday en route to a 31-20 victory at Jacksonville to the tune of 10 receptions for 148 yards and two touchdowns. It's completely understandable if one elected to keep Hopkins all to themselves. The Clemson Tiger will take his talents to South Beach as Nuk takes on Miami Dolphins' secondary (2-3) on Sunday afternoon.

Value of a Buc

After a dismal performance against Tennessee in week one, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3) running back Doug Martin didn't look as if he would be second in the NFL in rushing yards by week five. It would be safe to say the fourth-year veteran out of Boise State is officially back.

Martin was the top performer in week five, logging 158 scrimmage yards with two rushing touchdowns and one receiving score in the 38-31 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4). Martin undoubtedly contributed to many Fantasy victories last week. The Bucs will face Washington after they return from their bye.

A Tale of Two Seasons

 

 

 

All is well in Atlanta, so far. The machine is well-oiled and running on all cylinders. Even when starters get injured, reserves step up with electrifying continuity.

 

Atlanta Falcons (4-0) running back Devonte Freeman earned top marks Sunday with 149 all-purpose yards while scoring three touchdowns in a 48-21 impaling of the Houston Texans (1-4).

 

The second-year Florida State product has seven rushing touchdown scores in the first four games of the 2015 season. Freeman had 248 yards and one rushing score for the entire 2014 season. Could he be this year's Justin Forsett? More like this season's Devonte Freeman, flying high.

Quarter Mark: First Week of Byes

Hoisting the Lombardi on the field at Levi's Stadium on February 7, 2016 with their team-colored confetti falling from the raptors is every player's idea of ending the season on a high note.There will be only one team on the field in Santa Clara, for perhaps the second time in one season.

Atlanta Falcons
The eventual NFC South champions should benefit considerably from upgrades at offensive line and the acquisition of Vic Beasley via the draft, among other changes on the defensive side of the ball - assuming the 'Dirty Birds' can hold off the Carolina Panthers.

Buffalo Bills
Head Coach Rex Ryan had a hand in compiling key offensive components to a championship-caliber defense. The postseason is in realistic reach this season.

Indianapolis Colts
The Colts will be fine. They will adjust to early issues on the offensive line and begin to pick up pace. Andrew Luck will not continue to lead the NFL in interceptions and the proverbial sky is not falling.They're still a lock for the AFC South division title.

SB 50:
Chargers    20
Cardinals    24  Final
Maybe.


We have been anticipating this moment.

Things tend to change the moment one gets settled into comfort. This is why it's imperative to secure a back up plan, especially for owners who have players with early bye weeks.


Selecting back up players based on favorable match ups is the simplest way maximize without wasting a roster spot. Shedding light on the top sleepers, based on match up, for the week, given your ace is on bye.

Enough Said?

Here's your chance to make it.

 If you focus on your goals, you can be victorious in week one! Just remember you've been told...

As surely as swallows migrate to Capistrano each spring, composed as smoothly as Rimsky-Korsakov's FLIGHTOFTHEBUMBLEBEE, 2015's version of Fantasy football will extract stingers, to say the least.

 The object is always to compete as hard as realistically possible, even if week one's victory falls just beyond the outstretched arms of SGT. SLAUGHTER. There is no shame in starting a win streak in week two.

 The intrigue of competition can completely overwhelm some. It's best to focus on having fun rather than winning or losing - especially for week one. There is no shame in enjoying the entire experience, even if it's to the hands of defeat. The alternative would be equivalent to driving to The Lumber Depot looking for sturdy wood only to find a bunch of dry-rotted twigs.

Buck the Cheaters, as they can create an extraordinary amount of paranoia. Lose yourself  with reckless abandon. Disregard the feeling of being lost. You'll Turn Up in due time. Bang Bang.

Below are some of  the biggest sleepers for 2015 according to some of the top Fantasy experts:

> Martavis Bryant (WR-Pit)

> Todd Gurley (RB-StL) 

> Lamar Miller (RB-Mia)

> John Brown (WR-Ari)

> Ray Rice (RB-FA)

Good luck to those who dare to test their survival chances across the information superhighway of ones and zeroes.

Lastly, a brief look back at 2014's sub-par draft picks in key rounds, despite finishing with a first round bye:

> Round 3  Robert Griffin III

> Round 5  Kendall Wright

> Round 6  Michael Floyd

> Round 9  Reggie Wayne

> Round 11 Toby Gerhart

Deja Vu?

Glendale, Arizona is the site of Super Bowl forty-nine.

Crucial match ups will decide the outcome of the 2014 season finale. Turnovers and special teams play usually play a major role in such big games but certain match ups will prove to be a huge component beginning in twenty-four hours.

The New England Patriots began the 2014 season with a 3-2 record including a 33-20 loss at Miami in the opener and a 41-14 pounding at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. They obviously finished 12-4 with a first-round bye in the AFC.

The Patriots offense was fourth-best in scoring as tight end Rob Gronkowski contributed abundantly. Gronk scored four touchdowns in New England's first five games, posting his first 100-yard performance in week five against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The defending champion Seahawks also began the 2014 campaign 3-2, losing at San Diego 30-21 and to Dallas 30-23 at home. By week six experts wondered what was wrong with Seattle, writing them off as pretenders. By mid-season, it looked as though Arizona and Dallas were the class of the NFC. Seattle was officially under the radar especially after getting rid of wide receiver Percy Harvin. They finished with a 12-4 record and a first-round bye as well.

The Seahawks possessed the stingiest defensive unit the NFL, allowing under 16 points per contest.

The most crucial match up tomorrow will be between Rob Gronkowski and Seattle safety Kam Chancellor even though last year's Super Bowl MVP injured his left knee toward the end of practice Friday. New England did not go through a walk-through practice Saturday, claiming to be "as ready as we're going to be", according to head coach Bill Belichick.


New England 17
Seattle          27 Final
Maybe.
