View Details

It is rare for the average fan to ever gain insight into the life and times of a Hall of Famer and it may be as rare to gain those insights from one of their children. What type of men sacrifice time and engagement with their families to play a game that requires strategies with the complexities of war yet a willingness to partake in violence with the simplicity of a car crash?

The dynamics of competition are vast, perhaps limitless, and are relevant to virtually any endeavour. What this book points to as the primary difference between sports and, say, being an accountant, is how much and perhaps more importantly how long the professional athlete must invest into their respective sport. We know many people in many professions that are extremely competitive, but we have yet to meet a doctor or a lawyer that started training for their profession when they were six.

There may not be many top tier talent receivers that are more frustrating than Jackson in terms of Fantasy consistency, but as of late he seems to have finally developed a rhythm and we think you should ride it out.

Hester has been pretty forthcoming about his unhappiness in his final years with the Bears, and there is nothing we love more than a player with a chip on his shoulder facing off against his former team. Look for him to see more targets than usual as his new team tries to set him up to show the Bears what they've been missing.

If there is one good thing about being down big at the half of every game (at least for Fantasy football purposes), it’s having to throw your way back into it and we suspect this one will be a shootout. So start Maclin.

In the same vein of Jeffery, Patterson is another talented player that will have you hovering over the start button. We suggest you press that button, as the disappointing New Orleans secondary will not be able to stop him, especially getting the ball out of the back field.

The Titans are another team headed upward, whereas the Dallas Cowboys seem to be headed in the other direction. There is no doubt that the 'Boys -- especially the defense -- will need to make some wholesale changes, and as a wise man once said "the best time to hit a man is not when he’s down, it’s when he’s trying to get up."

We've entered a new age in the NFL. Gone are the days of $50 million guaranteed contracts to the No. 1 overall picks, meaning teams looking to trade up no longer financially cripple their franchises by doing so. This has led to a number of draft pick swaps in recent years, and this year could very well play out in the same fashion. We see the Rams as the most likely top five team to trade down, but none of the top 10 picks being dealt should be a shocker. Now, we present to you, three different Mock Drafts (for the non-playoff teams) by the RotoRob.com Legion of Pigskin Boom. All of our writers agree on just two picks, so sit back, pour yourself a coffee and enjoy.
