![]() Like the two QBs before Freeman on this list, his success will too come from off season acquisitions. In spite of what he lost and his play last year, I see Freeman becoming significant to fantasy football again this year. Also, heading into this season he will be without Kellen Winslow who lead the team in receptions last year, and was second in yards. Freeman also managed to keep his fantasy value somewhat relevant with his size and athleticism, averaging 12 points/game. In spite his poor performance, Freeman set career highs in yards and completion percentage. I am not advocating he will a top-tier QB, however do not be surprised if he quietly sneaks his way into the top-10.Īfter such a promising rookie and second season, Freeman suffered last year. All of these additions bode well for Smith, as he should benefit the most from these players. Not only that but then they went and bulked up their backfield by adding Jacobs, which all together makes the 49ers offense much deadlier than a year ago. Jenkins out of Illinois, and nab Manningham and Moss out of free agency. Then this offseason, the 49ers go out and draft the talented A.J. Smith did all this last year with no real receivers, with the exception of Davis (who by his standards had an average season) and Michael Crabtree who didn’t really start to blossom until later in the season. He also finished ahead of guys like Flacco, Dalton, and Freeman. While that may not sound impressive to some, he finished only five points behind Roethlisberger, and six behind Fitzpatrick. Career highs in completions, completion percentages, and yards last season helped Smith to be the #14 ranked QB in fantasy last year. He was thought to be one of the bigger busts in recent history, but what did Alex Smith do last season when the pressure was on? He produced. ![]() Smith silenced doubters last year (courtesy of )Įveryone, including myself, doubted him. Like Heyward-Bey, three of Moore’s 5 TDs came with Palmer, as well as two or his three 100+yard games. Denarius Moore also will help Palmer after his solid rookie season. Setting career highs in receptions, yards, and TDs last year (although that wasn’t that hard) Heyward-Bey had three of his four TDs and two of his three 100+ yard games with Palmer as his QB. For starters, D arrius Heyward-Bey may not be the most reliable WR out there, but he benefitted highly from Palmer’s arrival. That is not to say that his receivers are even Pro-Bowl-caliber, however they get a worse rap then deserved. One main reason I believe so is because he will benefit from his underrated receivers. Now that he actually has an offseason to work with his team I guarantee his numbers will continue to improve. While that may not seem all that impressive, it is important to remember that when Palmer came over to the Raiders last year he was immediately thrown into the fire with little time to learn the system. Despite playing in 10 games, and starting in nine, Palmer managed seven double-digit fantasy games, scoring 22 in one. While his first game under center as a Raider was abysmal to say the least, things started looking up for Palmer as the season went on. Palmer will look to begin where he left off last season (photo courtesy of silverandblac With those two easy steps in mind, and after I have read through, and, here are my top-20 favorite names in no particular order For example : ABC, easy as RGIII (#2 overall pick Robert Griffin III and the hit song by the Jackson 5 ABC) or Scobee Snacks (Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee and the old school hit TV show Scooby Doo). Yet, an easy way to be clever is to rip-off song titles, TV show names or anything else you can pun. Nobody likes having that person in their leagues with their last name as their team name because that person was too lazy to come up with even the most simplistic fantasy team name. On the other hand, Rice Rice Baby does work even though Vanilla Ice’s song Ice Ice Baby came out over 15 years ago it’s a song everyone knows. Also the name Jersey Leshoure (Mikel Leshoure the suspended Lions running back) is no good because nobody really knows who he is, unless you are an avid Lions fan. ![]() For example the team name Favre Dollar Foot long use to be funny, but Favre is no longer in the league. Everyone appreciate a good, thoughtful name, but if it’s not relevant it’s not worth it. Yet, before I do so I will give you a tips as to how you should go about picking, selecting, or even creating your own team name. ![]() Therefore, to avoid ridicule and the embarrassment of having a lame fantasy name, I will give u a list of my top-20 favorite names for this year. No more relying on your parents to make sure they make the right decision, and no one to blame if your name sucks. Unlike in real life, in fantasy football you get to choose your name. ![]()
