Can Jeremy Maclin finally realize his full potential this season?

The Philadelphia Eagles wasted no time and eliminated all questions by signing both Riley Cooper and Jeremy Maclin this week. And after Chip Kelly's blitzkrieg offense took the league by storm last year, what can we expect from the Eagle's high flying passing attack in 2014?

Fantasy Gumshoe's recent Forensic Files series got me thinking about Jeremy Maclin. I think he makes a really good free agent target for a real team, and a good target for your fake teams. You'll often hear Shawn Siegele talking about post-hype... Read more ›

Welcome to "The Dive". In the case that this is your first time reading "The Dive," let me introduce you to my article. "The Dive" focuses on one player (or team) at each position in a standard fantasy league, which would include quarterback, running back, tight end, wide receiver, and defense. Variables and other support data including health status, matchup factors, split statistics, workload, performance history, recent trends, weather constraints and other analytics are used to help predict performance. This article will not tell you to start Adrian Peterson or Aaron Rodgers each week. Obviously, you will always lock your studs and early round picks into your starting roster. However, you will find the most value in my article for deep leagues and identifying substitutes or trade targets during bye weeks and injuries. Let's get started! QB- Terrelle Pryor Most managers likely drafted a top 10-15 quarterback who will be a must-start. Other "creative" managers may have waited a very long time and potentially snagged two quarterbacks in order to play the better matchup. Although I personally do not recommend starting Terrelle Pryor over the top 15-20 quarterbacks, I would certainly give him attention if you are in a very deep league. Pryor was named the starter over Matt Flynn this week and will be leading a rather uninspiring offense. With that being said, Oakland does have a few speedy receivers, a healthy Darren McFadden, and will be playing against an average pass defense in Indy. Week 1 Forecast: 200 passing yards. 25 rushing yards, and 1 TD RB- Isaac Redman Redman may have gone undrafted in some leagues. If your starting running back is limited or has a difficult matchup, Redman may be worth a "plug and play" against Tennessee whose defense ranked 29th in rushing yards allowed per game last year. Redman will receive the bulk of the carries and torched the Titans for 105 receiving yards last season. Although a few other backs will see carries, expect Redman to hit paydirt and have a solid game. Week 1 Forecast: 100 total yards and 1 TD WR- Riley Cooper Cooper should not receive any attention from fantasy owners except for deep leagues. His embarrassing off-season antics should not be ignored, but either should his situation in Philly. After an injury to Jeremy Maclin, Cooper finds himself opposite DeSean Jackson. Jason Avant has been unimpressive, therefore opportunity is knocking for Cooper especially in Week 1's ...

July is almost here, and so is Christmas in July. A time created to celebrate the nearing of the most wonderful time of the year, football season. With another NFL season on the horizon, many fantasy fanatics are beginning to get revved up for what they hope is a championship season for their cyber squad. Fantasy players all across the country are making their positional rankings, mock drafting and hanging on every word that scrolls across the NFL Network bottom line in preparation for Week 1. But if you want to hoist that trophy this year, you have a lot of work to do before those first games kick off. That is where I come in. Here are 10 players I believe you need to keep your eyes on during training camp and preseason. Take a look at these gift-wrapped presents. Come December you will be glad you did. 5 Players who will make every Sunday a holiday 1. Montee Ball - Currently Ball is in the driver's seat to be the starting running back on one of the more dangerous offenses in the league. Just last week the Broncos released Willis McGahee from the team, and running backs Ronnie Hillman and Knowshon Moreno seem better suited as change of pace backs. Should Ball be able to capitalize on his situation, the rookie could end the year as a top 10 back. The Broncos are looking to be quicker on offense this season, which could lead to more plays and scoring opportunities. Also, Peyton Manning has never been shy about checking into a running play near the goal line, and Ball knows how to sniff the end zone with 77 rushing touchdowns in his career at Wisconsin. The key for this former Badger back will be learning how to pass protect at the pro level. Keep an eye on him throughout training camp and preseason. 2. Shane Vereen - Everyone knows that coach Bill Belichick can't be trusted to reveal any relevant fantasy information, so the New England Patriots' plans are usually revealed through training camp and preseason games. Keep an eye on Shane Vereen. With a lack of receiving weapons, I expect the Patriots to continue to move in the direction of relying on the ground game. Starter Stevan Ridley had an impressive season last year, but struggled with fumbles. My thoughts are that if Ridley continues to cough up the football, Belichick will have no problem plugging in Vereen, who will already get a good amount of work on passing downs due to the departure of Danny Woodhead. Vereen could end up paying huge dividends. 3. Jeremy Maclin - What will the Chip ...
