Detroit Lions 11-5 Welcome to NFC North Week and the Detroit Lions 2014 Fantasy Highs and Lows! Each week we will go division by division breaking down each team. The Lions ended up in the playoffs but they weren’t as fantasy player packed as they have been in the past. There were a lot of ups and downs with Golden Tate, Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, Joique Bell and the Detroit Lions’ Defense so let’s talk about the absolutely high and lowest of lows. Highs: My high was the fact that we didn’t have to suffer through a running back by committee situation all season long. Joique Bell was the 14th highest scoring back on the season. He had his share of low scoring games, but for the most part he was very good for you and you didn’t have to have that awful debate in your head whether it would be Bell’s week or Bush’s week. Be thankful for that as we don’t know what will be in store for the Lion’s backfield next season. Lows: Low, Matthew Stafford, for sure. Stafford is supposed to be elite. I would not call being the 15th highest scoring QB on the season elite even if his team did go to the playoffs. Granted Megatron was hurt for a while, but you know what…you have to find other weapons…that’s what good teams and good quarterbacks do. Plain and...

Miami Dolphins 8-8 Welcome to AFC East Week and the Miami Dolphins 2014 Fantasy Highs and Lows! Each week we will go division by division breaking down each team. This team has a lot of potential for next year. They were able to hold their own against a lot of really difficult teams and are finally starting to find a groove. They haven’t made many changes over the off season, so it will be a fine tuning kind of off season. So let’s briefly chat about what was good and bad last year that they will take into consideration when tightening elements up. Highs: My highs with the Dolphins are much like the Dolphins, not very exciting but quietly relevant. Mike Wallace showed up this year and was the 18th highest scoring wide receiver in the league. He has always been a hot and cold player, and he was a little bit this year, but for the most part he was good. Ryan Tannehill was similar that he quietly snuck his way into the top 10 quarterbacks of the year. I also enjoyed that I could count on them to give teams hell. Usually I would count them out against a team like the Patriots but this year was a little nerve-wracking each time they met. Lows: The low for me was when Knowshon Moreno got hurt. I really wanted to see how it played out between him and Lamar Miller. Moreno made Miller up his game and he did for sure. Moreno looked to be the starter and then Miller came in when Moreno was hurt but...
by Ashley Williams | Jan 29, 2015 | ANALYSIS, Kansas City Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs 9-7 Welcome to AFC West Week and the Kansas City Chiefs 2014 Fantasy Highs and Lows! Each week we will go division by division breaking down each team. This team had very few fantasy relevant players on it and only one week in and week out player that you could count on. Jamaal Charles had a bit of a rough start but came back from injury after a couple weeks and played lights out for you. Travis Kelce was a bit hot and cold but so is every other tight end in the league. He was worth a start here and there but that is really the only fantasy relevant players that were on the Chiefs. Well…other than Knile Davis who stepped in to the solo running back role in a big way for Jamaal Charles when he was hurt. The Chiefs will need to make some changes next year to make the passing game more effective, which leads us to… High and Low: My low and my high are the exact same. The Kansas City wide receivers, yes, that is right. There was not a more under-achieving group of wide outs in the league this year than this crew, and yet…..I held my breath when Dwayne Bowe looked as if he scored a touchdown but alas he fumbled and Travis Kelce picked it up in the end zone for the touchdown. It looked very close to Bowe having crossed the plane before he fumbled so was it a touchdown? Who would get the credit? I whispered under my breath, please don’t let it be...
