Paper Pigskin Point Potential 2014 - Cleveland Browns

This is a series on my 2014 outlook of players you would want to have on your Paper Pigskin team (fantasy football).  What you'll find here are my views based on years of playing experience and countless hours of geeking out researching stats, trends, and articles.  I'll advise where to reach and whose hype not to believe.

CLEVELAND BROWNS - Passing 253 ypg     Rushing 86 ypg

Johnny Manziel is all people want to talk about when the Cleveland Browns are brought up. For fantasy football purposes, the name you need to know is Kyle Shanahan. His offenses typically run the ball fairly well while employing a zone blocking scheme. The normal sets use double tights quarterback bootlegs are a staple of his system; usually only one wide receiver is eating the pigskin as the others are fighting for scraps. Cleveland's offense led the NFL in percentage of pass plays called in 2013. It'll be quite the contrast this time around.

This is a series on my 2013 outlook of players you would want to have on your Paper Pigskin team (fantasy football).  I'll be organizing them by division.  What you'll find here are my views based on years of playing experience and countless hours of geeking out researching stats, trends, and articles.  I'll advise where to reach and whose hype not to believe.

Cincinnati Bengals  224 passing ypg  109 rushing ypg  (posted August 24, 2013)

QB:  Andy Dalton has lead the Bengals to playoff births in his first two seasons. Similar to Joe Flacco, Dalton wins games in real life but not so much in Paper Pigskin.  What makes the ginger different is that Cincinnati have added to their supporting cast to go with one of the best targets outside.  Wait until the 10th round when backup QBs start to come off the board to select Dalton, the extra options on offense might be enough to elevate him to a borderline QB1.
