Chris Sweet - Fantasy Sports Analyst This will be the final part of our preliminary NFL Player Rankings for the preseason and we will be covering the last skill position of Tight End as well as the less glamorous positions of Kicker and Team Defense. Tight End Rankings We'll start with the Tight Ends. This is a position that is a little more wide open than in the previous years. Gronk is still in his prime, but the injury risk is always there. He has averaged 11 games played per year over the past five years. This is why I'm giving Travis Kelce the #1 spot this year. Kelce finished as the best tight end last year, but Jeremy Maclin being cut is

Wagner Wisdom: Top DFS Performers – NFL Playoffs (Wild Card)
Adam Wagner - Fantasy Sports Analyst: The Wagner Wire The NFL Playoffs are upon us. Congratulations to those of you whose teams were fortunate to achieve a post-season reservation and my condolences to those of you with teams that weren't as fortunate. Regardless, we all have daily fantasy sports to compete in. The slate of games has reduced, making your decision of who to roster more critical. With the exception of Pittsburg, the defenses that these players will encounter are legitimately tough. The Steelers can still get after the quarterback, although they allow 271 yards/game through the air. With Andy Dalton's status uncertain, the Steelers might be able to sustain and repel an otherwise dangerous Bengals' offense. That being said, should you

Sweet Fantasy – WR Handcuffs
It's time for another Sweet Fantasy. We're gonna get kinky today and talk about handcuffs but probably not the kind you think. If you've played Fantasy Football for a number of years you are probably familiar with the concept of handcuffing your stud Running Backs, late in your draft or auction you grab your starters backup with a relatively unimportant pick. You don't want to risk a fellow owner grabbing Knile Davis from you when you own Jamaal Charles and he goes down in Week 1 for a few weeks or more. But here's where real football has forced us to ponder a different handcuff strategy...Wide Receiver handcuffs. The reality is teams are passing at historic rates and there are
The Wagner Wire – Top 5 NFL Fantasy Quarterbacks: 2015
NFL is back fantasy champions! So we need to breakdown the top quarterbacks in the NFL and give my projections. I've won 3 out of the past 5 years in traditional fantasy football leagues and I believe it is because I see what most fantasy grinders do not. So without further ado, my top five quarterbacks. 1. Andrew Luck Its not all luck! Number 12 for the Colts has the skills that kill. He shredded NFL defenses last season, posting outstanding numbers consisting of a 40 TDs and 16 INTs. He threw for 4,761 and rushed for 273 yards, adding 3 more rushing TDs to his total. Luck and the Colts aim to expand on these numbers with key additions of Andre Johnson and
