Paper Pigskin Point Potential 2014 - Miami Dolphins

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.

Ryan Tannehill is giving the Fantasy Football world a thumbs up,
 letting you know that if you snooze, you lose.

MIAMI DOLPHINS - Passing 223 ypg     Rushing 90 ypg


The Dolphins offense, last season, was the closest you can get to no frills in the NFL.  Former Offensive Coordinator Mike Sherman lined players up in the same position every time and made it predictable for defenses. Replacing Sherman, is Bill Lazor, who was the quarterbacks coach for the Eagles' innovative system. Look for the tempo to be picked up and more offensive plays ran through the course of a game.

Paper Pigskin Point Potential AFC East

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.

New York Jets  181 passing ypg  119 rushing ypg  (posted August 31, 2013)

QB:  There's no purpose in drafting a Jets quarterback if Mark Sanchez is deemed the starter.  The reasons won't be his 4-year career stats of 55% completion or his 68 touchdown to 69 interception ratio or his 3,000 yards per year average.  The reason he shouldn't be drafted is because Marty Mornhinweg, his new offensive coordinator, runs a vanilla West Coast offensive scheme.  Many teams use WC offense with much success but Marty's version is more evenly balanced between pass and run; this can lead to wins for the real football team but not good for your Paper Pigskin team.  In addition the offensive scheme, there's just not enough receiving talent on this team to help Sanchez pad his stats.  On the other hand, if Geno Smith gets the nod, there's plenty of potential for him to score points due to his running ability. If he does get the start, just know that rushing yards add addition value for QBs.  Use a late round flier on Smith because the game is changing.
