• Jay Cutler, Bears, QB: Finally the Bears have pulled together a strong o-line for Jay. With Brandon Marshall and Matt Forte at his disposal, Jay is very capable of putting up some large numbers on any given week, as such, represents good value late in drafts.
• Maurice Jones Drew, Jaguars, RB (pictured): Once an automatic first round fantasy lock, injuries and an inadequate Jaguars team have limited his production. We see him bouncing back this season, and could represent good value for your third round selection.
• Ronnie Hillman, Broncos, RB: Many drafts have owners selecting Montee Ball as their lead back from Denver, and rightly so, however don’t discount Ronnie, who could turn out to be a decent flex start. Interestingly, he’s listed as top of the Broncos depth chart during training camp, so on that alone he deserves a look.
• Isaiah Pead, Rams, RB: No Steven Jackson anymore. That leaves just Pead and Richardson to fight it out. Will likely be a committee early on, but we like Pead to eventually win the battle.
• Golden Tate, Seahawks, WR: Percy Harvin was expected to be the focal point in the passing game for the Seahawks, however this has gone out the window given his injury. That means that Sidney Rice and Golden Tate will need to step up, and we like Tate to be the stronger of the two.
• Anquan Boldin, 49ers, WR: Who else is there at San Francisco? Despite only joining in the off-season, we see the bond that has already developed with Kaepernick during pre-season continuing on to the regular season.
• Emmanuel Sanders, Steelers, WR: No Mike Wallace. An undersized Antonio Brown. A decent QB that likes to throw deep. We see Sanders filling the void left by Wallace, especially given how well he knows the system.
• Jared Cook, Rams, TE: A new addition to the Rams, initial reports have him and Bradford developing a close bond in pre-season. While Tavon Austin will see some looks, we see Bradford looking Cook’s way often, especially with Steven Jackson no longer around to be the focal point for the team.

• Joe Flacco, Ravens, QB: The Superbowl MVP has lost some of his receivers in Boldin and Pitta. He was inconsistent at the best of times last season, and we don’t see it getting any better this year from a fantasy perspective.
• Arian Foster, Texans, RB:Injuries are a concern with Mr Foster (back and calf). He has been a workhorse over the last couple of seasons. He is expected to be right for week one, but we want to highlight some caution with regards to selecting him either 1 or 2 in drafts. If injuries keep up, he could turn out to be a major bust.
• Chris Ivory, Jets, RB: Moves from sitting low on the depth chart at the Saints, to the featured back at the Jets. Great news for Chris, and a real chance to display he abilities (showed glimpses of this at Saints when given chance), however injuries are putting his pre-season at risk, not to mention the pressure he’ll receive from the uncertainty at QB. Suggest steering well clear.
• Alfred Morris, Redskins, RB: Very productive on the ground running the ball, but sees very little passes thrown his way which is an issue. Morris should still see plenty of carries, especially given the need to reduce the load from RG3, however our concern sits with the uncertainty that is Mike Shanahan.
• Benjarvis Green-Ellis, Bengals, RB: Giovani Bernard, a player with plenty of upside, is on the scene, meaning a loss of touches, and potentially a loss of being the prominent back at the Bengals.
• Wes Welker, Broncos, WR: Tough to have him as a bust, especially given his productivity with the Patriots. However, there are only so many passes to go around for the Broncos, and we see Thomas and Decker being the main beneficiaries.
• Greg Jennings, Vikings, WR (pictured):A move from the Packers to the Vikings will not bode well for Jennings from a fantasy perspective. While recent injuries are of concern, more importantly, he goes from Rodgers to Ponder passing him the ball. Not a good outlook for a player that was top ten in his position not too long ago.
• Tony Gonzalez, Falcons, TE: Could father time finally catch up with Gonzalez. With so many weapons at Ryan’s disposal, including the arrival of Stephen Jackson, we expect his productivity to drop in what will likely be his final season.
