Paper Pigskin Point Potential 2014 - Philadelphia Eagles

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 film.  I'll advise where to reach and whose hype not to believe.



PHILADELPHIA EAGLES - Passing 257 ypg     Rushing 160 ypg


Chip Kelly ran the fastest offense in the league last season, getting off a play every 24 seconds. They also were last in the league in time of possession at 26 minutes 19 seconds per game. But most importantly were their 65.4 plays ran per game was food for 12th in the league. When Kelly took over the Eagles last season, he had players that were conditioned to Andy Reid's West Coast system, so he relied heavily on LeSean McCoy and schemed up plays to get Nick Foles comfortable; this meant featuring Desean Jackson and Riley Cooper. One summer later, a different cast of characters have been added to the lineup; guys that are more suited for his style of plays.

Paper Pigskin Point Potential 2014 - New Orleans Saints

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.


NEW ORLEANS SAINTS - Passing 302 ypg     Rushing 92 ypg


No offense has been as prolific as the Saints during the Sean Payton/Drew Brees era. This has been done without having an All-Pro at the running back or wide receiver position. However, they do have the best tight end in real and Paper Pigskin. Many try to copy but they just can't sketch it. Whatever the formula, Payton provides nice flavor with minor adjustment to the measurements from year to year. What's added to the recipe this season?
