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
