Welcome to the 2013 Everybody Loves B-Mac Fantasy Football League!
Since someone brought up doing a team-by-team breakdown and I have some amount of time and have no idea whether Sam has any time or not, I have decided to take it upon myself to write this up. If you disagree with my opinion, feel free to say something. Also feel free to peruse the rest of my blog, though I seldom write and seldom write anything not about the Royals.
I am going to start with division 1 and simply move down the teams list as I see it. Perhaps, if I'm feeling saucy, I will hazard a guess at who will win each division. I doubt I will attempt to divine a wild card winner.
I think I'm going to do one division per day, so the whole thing should be done by Friday. Hope you enjoy!
DIVISION 1
The Lucky W's- With a team name that I don't understand, the Lucky W's are poised to have a solid team if everyone produces up to their potential. Russell Wilson is a questionable choice at quarterback, especially for a team that is so committed to the run. He does have strong touchdown numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if that showed some regression. The 'Dubs do have Eli Manning on the bench in case Wilson falls victim to a sophomore slump. At running back are LeSean McCoy and MJD. Both of these players were consensus top five picks in previous seasons but have been massive disappointments lately. The W's will be counting on them to rebound if they want to have any good RB play, as Vick Ballard, Pierre Thomas and Le'Veon Bell can hardly be seen as reliable backups. Wide Receiver may be the W's strongest point with Dez Bryant, Torrey Smith and Marques Colston all being number one WRs on their respective teams. Torrey Smith may be hurt by all the changes the Ravens have seen, or he could be their only receiving option and catch tons of passes. Colston is always risky as a member of the spread-it-around Saints, but I feel confident saying that Dez will be one of the top WRs this year. Vernon Davis is a very strong tight end, but his targets dropped off severely after the 49ers switched to Kaepernick at QB. A bounceback year is possible, but something that the W's should keep their eye on. As with most teams, the W's also have a kicker and a defense, but let's be honest and admit that nobody cares who they are.
The Wild Bohrs- The faceless entity that is the Wild Bohrs might pack quite an atomic punch this season. At quarterback, the Bohrs feature RG3, who finished with the 7th most fantasy points of any player last season. Hurt at the end of the year, a healthy RG3 could mean many victories for the Bohrs who also have Joe Flacco in a steady reserve role. Running back is a position of interest for the Bohrs where they have Darren McFadden and Darren Sproles listed as starters. The Darrens are solid backs, but only when they play, and have been known to have injury problems. McFadden in particular hasn't made it through a whole season yet. Sproles could be an exceptional choice with the league's switch to a PPR format this season. As far as receivers go, the Bohrs' top two are unmatched. With AJ Green and Brandon Marshall in the fold, the Bohrs are nearly guaranteed to see some strong performances. Things get a little dicey with the 3rd WR slot, but Tavon Austin could be a firecracker as a rookie. Reserves aren't anything to write home about, but Malcolm Floyd and Denarius Moore both should be in line for some targets this year. Whether they make anything of them is anyone's guess. Tony Gonzalez stars at TE, but his age may finally catch up to him with retirement on the horizon. This team holds a lot of potential and could be a force if they are able to overcome their injury-riddled past.
Reagan Smash- The paragons of the republican party have a very up and down lineup that will be counting on some breakout performances to compete at the highest level. Drew Brees is the great constant on this team. After leading all of fantasy in points last season, Brees gets his head coach back and is likely poised to repeat as a scoring fiend. The Smashers used their high first round draft pick to grab Marshawn Lynch, who has been a fantasy stud of late. One can only hope that he continues to perform at this level and does not regress back to his underperforming ways. For the rest of the RB corps, Chris Ivory, Ryan Mathews and Daniel Thomas are unproven, injury prone and buried on the depth chart. The Smashers might be looking for RB help quickly. The WRs are solid with Andre Johnson and Eric Decker while the third slot might be a revolving door of Sidney Rice and Michael Floyd. Owen Daniels is a solid TE in the potent Houston offense, but he too has an injury history.
GLORIOUS HEAT MASTER RACE- With a name that draws ire for more than one reason, the South Beachers believe that their roster is fairly solid. Matt Ryan at QB is a solid and improving player despite already scoring the fourth most fantasy points last season. The Fighting LeBrons also picked up Matt Schaub in case the worst happens to Ryan. Running back is a position of slight concern for the HEAT where their owner overcame his personal hatred for the Patriots and drafted Stevan Ridley, who broke out on the fantasy scene in 2012 and should be productive in the lethal Patriots offense. Steady old Frank Gore complements the perceived hit or miss of Ridley, though the HEAT hope that Gore doesn't get hurt like he often has. The top two WR slots are locked down by perennial Pro-Bowlers Calvin Johnson and Reggie Wayne. The third slot is Jordy Nelson's to lose, though he may not be ready for first kickoff. The HEAT hope that they can fill this slot through some combination of Jordy, Jennings and a hopefully improved Emmanuel Sanders. TE is a boom or bust position where the HEAT hope that Antonio gates can regain his old form and become a dominant force in an otherwise lackluster San Diego offense.
Predicted Finish (First to Last)- HEAT, Bohrs, W's, Reagan
