Brandon Marianne Lee — Sun, 13 Sep 2015 06:30:30 +0000

Atlanta Falcons’ Devonta Freeman is listed as probable against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, September 14. Tevin Coleman was already named the starter, regardless of Freeman’s condition. This is a cushy matchup and there is a possibility that Coleman could run himself into a sure spot as the starting back. Watch this game.

RB LeGarrette Blount activated from the suspended list

Brandon Marianne Lee — Sun, 13 Sep 2015 06:26:53 +0000

On Saturday, September 12, LeGarrette Blount came off the suspended list and thereby directly cut into Dion Lewis’ future production. Lewis had a fine Week 1 and certainly can be picked up if you have a hole in your roster, but know that Blount is their main back and Bill Belichick cannot be trusted with your running back fantasy success.

RB Joseph Randle the likely starter in Week 1

Brandon Marianne Lee — Sun, 13 Sep 2015 04:55:51 +0000

One of the most talked about storylines of the off season was whether or not the Dallas Cowboys had a starting running back on their roster. Joseph Randle started training camp the assumed starter, but he never really grabbed a hold of that position, so much so that they brought in former Seattle Seahawk, Christine Michael. It looks like Randle will get the majority of carries in the favorable Week 1 matchup against the Giants, but keep your eye on this situation. There may be a waiver wire pickup in your future. This is a great offensive line, so once a clear starter emerges, that player is an automatic top-20 running back.

QB Alex Smith, WR Jeremy Maclin Show Signs Of Improved Pass Attack For KC Chiefs

Brandon Marianne Lee — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:00:22 +0000

Well, they looked fairly sharp the other night, but can WR Jeremy Maclin help stretch the skill set of his QB, Alex Smith, by encouraging him to stretch the field a little more? There’s not much that fantasy owners can look to in Smith but Maclin still may be able to put some decent fantasy numbers this year. It’s a question of how Andy Reid intends to use him and then if Smith can actually make that happen. But isn’t it great to actually hear the words “receiving touchdown” mentioned in the same sentence as the Kansas City Chiefs again? We’ll bet Jamaal Charles likes the sound of that.

TE Travis Kelce, Despite Ankle Sprain, Is On Track For The Chiefs Opener

Brandon Marianne Lee — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 05:46:21 +0000

Well, Coach Andy Reid feels good about TE Travis Kelce being able to play in the season opener for the Chiefs. Fantasy owners should be looking to scoop him up, if they haven’t already. Lots of positives and signs of good things to come for Kelce last year and it sounds like the ankle sprain isn’t too serious. Look for him to be more involved weapon in the Chiefs offense this year.

TE Julius Thomas To Have Surgery, Jaguars Without His Services 4-5 Weeks

Brandon Marianne Lee — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 05:27:20 +0000

Bit of a bummer for all fantasy owners who were rolling the dice on whether or not TE Julius Thomas can stay healthy. Reports are that he will be undergoing surgery on his injured finger and won’t be back for at least 4-5 weeks….the entire first month of the season. In his place, the Jacksonville Jaguars will lean on TE’s Marcedes Lewis & Clay Harbor to fill the void. Lewis, veteran though he is, has had a good preseason. Hopefully, all you Julius Thomas owners can wait the month out without too many losses. But it does, once again, bring up the consistent concern as to how long it will be before he gets hurt again.

RB Frank Gore Has Bromance Level Of Adoration For Colts’ QB Andrew Luck

Brandon Marianne Lee — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 05:15:38 +0000

Confidence is running high in Indy. RB Frank Gore, new to the Colts this year, is ready to put his quarterback on a god-like pedestal. The enthusiasm is great to see for fantasy owners as it suggests that there is a good chemistry coming together on this Colts team. RB Frank Gore still has plenty in the tank and you can expect to see him ground and pound his way into the post-season with Luck. And with the pass-attack-that-could-be (Johnson, Hilton), things are looking good in Indianapolis.

WR T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis Colts Optimistic About Week 1 Return

Brandon Marianne Lee — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 05:02:15 +0000

Good news for fantasy owners of both T.Y. Hilton and Andrew Luck: it looks as though Hilton is progressing through his concussion protocol and is expected to be cleared for a Week 1 return. Hilton is poised to put up huge fantasy numbers this year even if Andrew Luck also has a certain Andre Johnson in town. Hilton is back in practice doing non-contact, but that’s a good sign. The offense could possibly explode in Indy this year, so feel good about it, people!

RB Arian Foster Could Be Back For The Texans By Week 2

Brandon Marianne Lee — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 04:42:18 +0000

By some estimations, RB Arian Foster might be able to get back on the field as early as Week 2 of the regular season. Contrary to previous estimations, Foster is rehabbing nicely and things look good for those fantasy owners who have already drafted him and were sweating how long it would be until he’s back. Encouraging news, but Alfred Blue’s stock is sure to go down considerably. When Foster is healthy, he kills it. The only problem is that he’s not often healthy.

WR Emmanuel Sanders Gets Back On The Field In Denver

Brandon Marianne Lee — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 04:21:56 +0000

Thank God! Seriously, if you own Emmanuel, you play him every week regardless of matchup. He’s a superstar and the Broncos have been very cautious with bringing him back in but he’s finally back to practice and is almost 100%. Look for Sanders to have another great year: Peyton says he feels great, the Broncos went and got Evan Mathis to help protect him, C.J. Anderson is looking beastly and Demaryius Thomas is ready to rock. High-powered offense, for sure, regardless of how old Peyton is.
