Quarterback Rankings 2014

1. Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos

Manning broke two NFL records in 2013 with 55 passing touchdowns and 5,477 passing yards, and

has no choice but to continue his success with powerful receiving options Demaryius Thomas and

Julius Thomas in the backfield.

2. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints

Brees has thrown for over 5,000 yards in his last three consecutive seasons, accompanied by a total of 128 passing touchdowns during this period of time; not to mention he has the No. 1 ranked tight

end, Jimmy Graham to play catch with.

Olivia Munn, WAG of Aaron Rodgers

3. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Armed with one of the top receiving duos in Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, Rodgers remains a top

three-ranked quarterback and is in his prime.

8. Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers Entering his fourth NFL season, Newton offers both mobility and expert passing skills, earning him a ranking among the elite NFL quarterbacks

4. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts Making his way into top-five quarterback status in his second NFL year, Luck entering his third season

should continue to thrive in 2014.

9. Tom Brady, New England Patriots No matter the circumstances, Brady remains a solid

option at quarterback, averaging 4,540 passing yards and 32 per year over his past five seasons.

5. Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions Stafford has one of the strongest arms in the NFL and he should continue to throw upwards of 5,000 yards per season, especially with the top-ranked

wide receiver, Calvin Johnson at his disposal

10. Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers Kaepernick, who is not shy to run the ball in for a

touchdown himself, has many weapons on the receiving side also, in the likes of tight end Vernon

Davis and wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin.

6. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons Despite Ryan’s struggles with his top two wide

receivers battling injuries in 2013, he still managed over 4,500 passing yards and 26 touchdowns. A healthy Julio Jones and Roddy White, should do wonders to boost Ryan’s value for 2014, making

him a reliable quarterback fantasy option.

11. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys Romo can always be counted on for plenty of

passing yards and touchdowns per season, and has top-ranked wide receiver, Dez Bryant and tight

end Jason Witten as red zone threats.

7. Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins Look for RGIII, who should be completely healthy

as he starts 2014, to rebound with a new head coach, and the addition of wide receiver DeSean Jackson to work in tandem with Pierre Garcon.

12. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks Entering his third season in the NFL, Wilson, who is also mobile, will continue to grow along with his

young offense, and top-ranked defensive to keep him protected.

13. Nick Foles, Philadelphia Eagles

14. Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears

15. Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers

16. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals

17. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers

18. Eli Manning, New York Giants

Running Back Rankings 2014

1. Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs

With 1980 total yards, and 19 rushing and receiving touchdowns, on a run-first team, Charles will be a

force to stop in 2014.

2. LeSean McCoy, Philadelphia Eagles

McCoy remains a top running back in 2014 coming off of 314 touches and over 2,000 combined

rushing and receiving yards.

3. Adrian Peterson, Minnesota Vikings

Peterson, who is loaded with talent, is to be involved in the passing game this season, which

only adds to his fantasy stock.

4. Matt Forte, Chicago Bears Averaging over 1,000 rush yards per year in his past six seasons, and being a key player in the

passing game, Forte will continue to be a valuable asset to fantasy teams.

Charmaine Glock, WAG of Marshall Lynch

5. Eddie Lacy, Green Bay Packers Lacy, entering his second season, was the Packers’

workhorse last year racking up 1,178 rush yards with 11 touchdowns. Finishing 2013 as the

sixth-ranked fantasy running back, he makes a coveted fantasy football choice, and easily should produce RB1 fantasy numbers again this season.

9. Alfred Morris, Washington Redskins Morris continues to impress with RB1 numbers,

rushing for 1,000-plus yards since his rookie season in 2012, and is ready to be involved in the passing

game this year.

6. Marshawn Lynch, Seattle Seahawks Lynch has been in true beast-mode for his last

three seasons with the Seahawks, and he is incredible in the end zone, averaging 11.7

touchdowns per game.

10. DeMarco Murray, Dallas Cowboys Murray remains a solid fantasy option as the lead

back for the Cowboys, coming off of his best season yet nearly 1,400 total yards and 10 touchdowns.

7. Le’Veon Bell, Pittsburgh Steelers Making his rookie debut for the Steelers in 2013, Bell proved his worth to the team with 860 rush

yards and eight touchdowns during the 13 games he started, deeming a worthy fantasy option for

2014.

11. Ryan Mathews, San Diego Chargers Mathews finished a complete season for the first

time since 2010, leading the Chargers’ running backs with 1,255 rushing yards and seven total

touchdowns last year. He is poised to remain the team’s top option at the position, earning him a

solid RB2 draft spot on fantasy rosters.

8. Arian Foster, Houston Texans Foster has the ability to make great plays both rushing and receiving, and should be fresh and

ready after healing from his back surgery to tear up the field once again for his team.

12. Montee Ball, Denver Broncos Ball didn’t have many chances to show off his talents

in his rookie season with former Broncos’ running back, Knowshon Moreno receiving the bulk of the

work. Due to Moreno’s departure, Ball, who averaged 4.7 yards per carry in 2013 will step into the No. 1 role for the team, making him a high-end

RB2 fantasy choice.

13. Giovani Bernard, Cincinnati Bengals

14. Reggie Bush, Detroit Lions

15. Doug Martin, Buccaneers

16. Zac Stacy, St. Louis Rams

17. Joique Bell, Detroit Lions

18. Frank Gore, San Francisco 49ers

19. C.J. Spiller, Buffalo Bills

20. Trent Richardson, Indianapolis Colts

21. Andre Ellington, Arizona Cardinals

22. Ben Tate, Cleveland Browns

Lilit Avagyan, WAG of Reggie Bush

Mioshi Johnson, WAG of Chris Johnson

23. Toby Gerhart, Jacksonville Jaguars

24. Shane Vereen, New England Patriots

25. Rashad Jennings, New York Giants

26. Bishop Sankey, Tennessee Titans

27. Maurice Jones-Drew, Oakland Raiders

28. Chris Johnson, New York Jets

29. Lamar Miller, Miami Dolphins

30. Ray Rice, Baltimore Ravens

31. Steven Jackson, Atlanta Falcons

32. Fred Jackson Spiller, Buffalo Bills

Wide Receiver Rankings 2014

1. Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions Year after year, Johnson, otherwise known as “Megatron”, puts up monster numbers, clearly earning his title as the best wide receiver in the NFL, which should remain par for the course this

season.

2. Demaryius Thomas, Denver Broncos Catching from the top quarterback in the NFL,

secures Thomas’s role as an elite wide receiver, who will no doubt repeat his stellar productivity of

his past two seasons.

3. A.J. Green, Cincinnati Bengals Averaging 1,277 yards per season over his first

three years in the NFL, is incredibly impressive, and there’s no reason to believe 2014 will be any

different.

4. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons Jones, when ready to resume his duties in full this

season should be back on track for another 1,000-plus yard season as he begins just his fourth

year in the NFL.

Miranda Brooke, WAG of A.J Green

5. Brandon Marshall, Chicago Bears Marshall, who has topped 1,000 receiving yards in his last seven seasons with the NFL, just signed a

new contract, which should keep him plenty motivated to prove his worth in 2014.

9. Alshon Jeffery, Chicago Bears Jeffery is just emerging as a serious threat to

opposing teams, and is primed to put up numbers similar to last season’s 1,421 yards and seven

touchdowns.

6. Dez Bryant, Dallas Cowboys Entering his prime and out to prove his value on a contract year is Bryant, has averaged 1,181 yards

and 4.3 touchdowns per game in his past three seasons.

10. Randall Cobb, Green Bay Packers Skilled in both kick returns and receiving, Cobb is a

key asset to the team, and with a healthy Aaron Rodgers returning, he should be ready for another

productive fantasy season.

7. Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers Nelson should remain a top fantasy option at the

hands of Aaron Rodgers, and a 1,000 or more yards, with double-digit touchdowns is easily

within sight for 2014.

11. Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals Putting up sound numbers year after year,

Fitzgerald improved last season under Carson Palmer. They should continue developing

chemistry. A 1000-plus yard season with multiple touchdowns is not out of the question for 2014,

warranting him a draft as a solid WR2.

8. Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers Brown had a fabulous season last year with 1,499

yards and eight touchdowns, so don’t look for him to stop putting up WR1 numbers anytime soon.

12. Vincent Jackson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jackson continues to be reliable each year, totaling

over 2,600 yards and 15 touchdowns in his past two seasons with the Buccaneers, and the signing

of quarterback Josh McCown should do nothing to hurt his stock.

13. Keenan Allen, San Diego Chargers

14. DeSean Jackson, Washington Redskins

15. Andre Johnson, Houston Texans

16. Victor Cruz, New York Giants

17. Michael Crabtree, San Francisco 49ers

18. Roddy White, Atlanta Falcons

19. Cordarrelle Patterson, Minnesota Vikings

Tight End Rankings 2014

1. Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints

Graham was targeted a whopping 136 times last season. He caught 63 percent of the passes thrown

his way, putting up over 1,200 yards and 16 touchdowns.

2. Julius Thomas, Denver Broncos

Thomas was most definitely a product of Peyton Manning last season. He put up highs in catches (65), yards (788) and touchdowns (12). With Eric Decker out of the mix, Thomas should see an

increase in targets.

3. Rob Gronkowski, New England Patriots He's missed 14 games over the past two seasons, but is averaging a whopping 79.7 yards and about one touchdown per outing since the start of the

2011 season.

4. Vernon Davis, San Francisco 49ers Davis averaged a whopping 16.3 yards per

reception in 2013 and tallied a total every four times he caught the ball.

Erin Heatherton, WAG of Jordan Cameron

5. Jordan Cameron, Cleveland Browns He was a dynamic playmaker for the multitude of

quarterbacks thrown out there last season, catching 80 passes and posting a ridiculous 73.4

reception percentage.

9. Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins Reed got off to a tremendous start last season as

a rookie before going down with an injury. He tallied 45 receptions for 499 yards and three

scores in nine games.

6. Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys Always a constant, Witten will consistently find himself among the top five or six fantasy tight

ends in a given season. He has put up at least 850 receiving yards in each of the last seven seasons.

10. Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota Vikings If Teddy Bridgewater wins the starting job, we can

expect this Notre Dame product to have a huge season.

7. Greg Olsen, Carolina Panthers Iit appears Cam Newton will have to rely a tad

more on Olsen in 2014. He caught over 71 percent of the passes thrown to him for 816 yards and six

scores in 2013.

11. Charles Clay, Miami Dolphins Clay really broke out in 2013 with 69 receptions,

759 yards and six touchdowns. With only four fewer receptions than the Dolphins’ top wide

receiver, Mike Wallace, he should continue to be a reliable target for quarterback Ryan Tannehill,

especially in the red zone, rewarding TE2 fantasy points.

8. Dennis Pitta, Baltimore Ravens Pitta's injury handcuffed the Ravens big time last season. Now fully healthy, expect him to continue

to be a consistent option.

12. Martellus Bennett, Chicago Bears Bennett broke out big time with Josh McCown and

Jay Cutler last season. He put up career highs in receptions (65), yards (759) and tied a career high

with five touchdowns.

13. Delanie Walker, Tennessee Titans

14. Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers

15. Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers

16. Ladarius Green, San Diego Chargers

17. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles

18. Coby Fleener, Indianapolis Colts

19. Dwayne Allen, Indianapolis Colts

20. Eric Ebron, Detroit Lions

21. Owen Daniels, Baltimore Ravens

23. Garrett Graham, Houston Texans

24. Jace Amaro, New York Jets

25. Jared Cook, St. Louis Rams

26. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Tampa Bay

Buccaneers

27. Scott Chandler, Buffalo Bills

28. Jermichael Finley, Free Agent

29. Andrew Quarless, Green Bay Packers

30. Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati Bengals

Defense Rankings 2014

1. Seattle Seahawks

This is a no-brainer. Seattle gave up an average of just 14.4 points per game last season.

2. Carolina Panthers

The Panthers have two elite defensive ends in Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson who combined

for 26 sacks in 2013.

3. San Francisco 49ers Their value depends on the outcome of Aldon Smith situation. They allowed the third-fewest points in the NFL last season, but ranked in the

bottom half of the league in sacks.

4. Denver Broncos WIth Von Miller back in the mix and the addition of DeMarcus Ware, Denver's defense is going to be a major threat. They immediately become one of the

best pass-rushing tandems in the league.

5. Cincinnati Bengals They put up the 10th-most sacks in the NFL and ranked fifth in scoring defense last season. This came despite Geno Atkins injury. The addition of Darqueze Dennard will also help Cincinnati's pass

defense.

6. Arizona Cardinals The losses of Dansby and Washington indicates that Arizona might take a step back in defense. Also John Abraham is getting older. Arizona still boasts one of the top secondaries in the game.

Erin Heatherton, WAG of Jordan Cameron

(Cleveland Browns)

7. Kansas City Chiefs It's all going to depend on continued pressure

from pass-rush threats Justin Houston and Tamba Hali, who combined for 22 sacks a season ago. A

lot of their success will depend on cornerback Brandon Flowers.

10. New England Patriots The Patriots ranked in the top 10 in scoring

defense last year and put up the fifth-most sacks in the league. Chandler Jones led all Patriots with

11.5 sacks. The addition of Darrelle Revis at cornerback will also help New England's defense.

8. St. Louis Rams They picked up Aaron Donald at the 2014 NFL

draft. He's going to team up with Robert Quinn, Chris Long and Michael Brockers to form a

dominating defensive front.

11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers If the Buccaneers can get a decent pass-rush they

will be in a good position. That's where the addition of Michael Johnson comes into play. He's

two years removed from putting up 11.5 sacks.

9. Buffalo Bills Mario Williams is an asset to this team. Williams tallied 13 sacks and led a trio with Jerry Hughes and Kyle Williams who put up double-digit sacks

each in 2013. Overall, Buffalo ranked second in the NFL with 57 sacks last year.

12. New Orleans Saints Rob Ryan has done a tremendous job building a defense and the Saints should be rewarded for

that in 2014.
