I love fantasy football.
Even with the Super Bowl right around the corner all I can think about is the 2014 fantasy season.
Call me obsessed, but here are a few players I think that are going to have a great season for owners:
1.Tom Brady, New England Patriots, quarterback – This was a toss up between Brady and Aaron Rodgers, but Brady should be a lock for top quarterbacks taken in most fantasy leagues (again). However, what makes Brady a flashier pick than Peyton Manning and Rodgers is simple: he has an easy schedule. Between home games against Oakland, the Lions and a feeble AFC East, Patriots fans could see Brady put up some gaudy numbers.
2. Eddie Lacy, Green Bay Packers, running back – Lacy is who we thought Trent Richardson was supposed to be this year. The Packers' rookie halfback had 1,100 rushing yards with 11 touchdowns in a injury plagued season for Green Bay. Expect Lacy to have a solid 2014 season, as Rodgers and receiver Randall Cobb will open defenses.
3. Josh Gordon, Cleveland Browns, wide receiver – Gordon is a freak. The Browns wideout had 1,600 yards, nine touchdowns on 87 receptions (!) while only playing in 14 games. He has shown tremendous athleticism and quick feet, as he should be the first or second receiver taken this season.
4. Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints, tight end – This one should be no surprise. Very few tight ends have dominated teams like Graham did last season. He’s only 27-years-old and still has plenty to prove.
5. Matt Prater, Denver Broncos, kicker – Another shoe-in is Prater, who is arguably the best kicker west of the Mississippi and will be dependable next season in Mile High Stadium.
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, defense – I’m feeling a little bold, so I’m choosing the Bucs defense to really step up next season. In addition to defensive minded coach Lovie Smith, All-Pro corner Darrelle Revis will be healthy. Plus, linebacker Levonte Davis has become a no named stud while Gerald McCoy has evolved into his own. In a wild division, the NFC South is becoming one of the hardest divisions to play in.
