Quarterbacks
5. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Everyone’s thinking, “Really? Brady? A sleeper?” After disappointing fantasy owners last season, many experts are now saying to stay away from Tom! Those experts are the same ones that forget he finished top five for QBs the year before, will likely have Gronkowski available this year, a more experienced receivers group, and a matchup nightmare at running back in Shane Vereen. His ADP (average draft position) is all the way at 58.
4. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
3. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Unlimited weapons, usually a top nine fantasy Quarterback, not much to worry about after showing very little rust after off-season back surgery, and you can get him after the sixth round.
2. Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears
Alshon Jeffery, Matt Forte, and Brandon Marshall should help Cutler reach the thirty touchdown plateau for the first time in his career. The only thing standing in the way is his injury history. He hasn’t played a full season in the past three years. He has an outrageous ADP of 82.
1. Nick Foles, Philadelphia Eagles
No way Foles repeats that ridiculous touchdown to interception rate he posted last year, but playing in an offense that aims to maximize reps, it was no surprise he was the third best Quarterback down the stretch last year and now has a lock to finish in the top ten. In twelve team leagues, he’s going in the sixth or seventh round.
Running backs
5. Bishop Sankey, Tennessse Titans
He likely won’t start until week 4.
4. Jonathan Grimes, Houston Texans
With Arian Foster’s body breaking down it’s unlikely that he’ll be able to take on the heavy workload that resulted in elite fantasy numbers a couple of years ago. However, that’s not going to stop stubborn ol’ Billy O’Brien from putting him in harms way. When Foster goes down just make sure you’re all in on the running back who posted over 100 all purpose yards and one score in week sixteen last season. You should be able to get him on the waiver wire.
3. Jeremy Hill, Cincinnati Bengals
Projects to split carries down the middle with Giovani Bernard. A good pickup after week one or two.
2. Monte Ball, Denver Broncos
If you draft either of the top two on this list you’re going to eat. Ball is just the riskier of the two meals. He’s currently going in the second round.
1. Eddie Lacy, Green Bay Packers
Lacy is the fifth running back being taken off the board. Lesean McCoy is the most likely to get hurt because of all the plays his team runs, he’s already had several nicks and bruises this preseason. Adrian Peterson’s body might be breaking down, and Jamaal Charles has no passing game around him in addition to losing three offensive linemen from last year. I don’t mind Matt Forte in PPR leagues, but at a position where the shelf life is so short, youth and volume are the best predictors of success.
Wide Receivers
5.Mohammad Sanu, Cincinnati Bengals
Doubling AJ Green? Bad idea! Sanu is getting taken behind guys like Marqise Lee and Doug Baldwin, making him a great late round stash.
4.Deandre Hopkins, Houston Texans
3.Cordarelle Patterson, Minnesota Vikings
Patterson put up top twelve receiver numbers down the stretch last season when his targets tripled. Now he’s all the experts’ favorite player to burst onto the scene. You can get him in the fifth or sixth round. He’s a must in all keeper formats.
2. Michael Floyd, Arizona Cardinals
Larry who? Floyd might be the best receiver in Arizona, an indication that Arizona might be ready to move on from Larry. He has a sensible ADP of 50.
1. Brandin Cooks, New Orleans Saints
Cooks was incredibly productive at Oregon State, with 128 catches and 1,730 yards last year. Experts are nervous that he won’t get his touches because of all the mouths to feed in NO. With Sproles gone there are roughly 100 targets to go around. I think Jimmy Graham takes a slight step back this year, not enough to stop him from being the number one tight end, but enough to make Cooks a top 25 receiver. Tavon Austin was a fine play with Sam Bradford at quarterback. Brandin Cooks is better than Austin and you can pick him up in the sixth or seventh round.
Tight Ends
5. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs
Some say he’s a Gronk-like monster, in a terrible offense where someone has to catch passes.
4. Ledarius Green, San Diego Chargers
You can get him in the late rounds.
3. Jace Amaro New York Jets
2. Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers
Should bounce back and be a top twelve tight end again
1. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles 
My favorite fantasy football team name so far is “So Good it Ertz.” Zach is going to be a problem this year. During joint practices with the Patriots, no one was able to cover him despite the Patriots projecting to have an elite secondary. At 6’5, 250 pounds, with that speed he’s going to be almost un-guardable down the seams and more importantly, the end zone, for those of you who love scoring touchdowns. Right now he’s averaging to be the 11th TE to come off the board.
Top 5 players to avoid at all costs
5. DeSean Jackson,Washington Redskins
Jackson being drafted in the fifth round is absurd. 62, 62, 47, 58, and 45 are his reception totals before they almost doubled to 82 last year with Chip Kelly. The two, nine, six, four, and two touchdown totals that he posted before putting up nine with Chip Kelly reiterates how inconsistent Jackson can be. He might win you a game or two with his one crazy WTF?! eight catch, 150 yard-one touchdown week, but I would bet he loses you far more with his notorious slow games. You win fantasy titles by dominating positions and consistency, just look at how many titles Peyton Manning won last year in a fantasized world.
4. Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins
If RGIII is the QB I don’t want to own any Redskins.
3. Marshawn Lynch, Seattle Seahawks
Don’t get me wrong, I love Lynch, but where he’s being drafted I’d rather take Lacy and let someone else own him and his overused legs.
2. Hakeem Nicks, Indianapolis Colts
1. Arian Foster Houston Texans
Currently going in the third round, see Jonathan Grimes in RB Sleepers.
