The Jordan Cameron hype machine keeps charging forward, this time with the help of the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot. Here's what she wrote in her latest mailbag column on Saturday: "The Browns really like tight end Jordan Cameron as their starting tight end and plan to throw to him a lot. Cameron was targeted on plenty of deep balls in OTAs." FANTASY ANALYSIS: Everybody's talking about Cameron's opportunity as the Browns' starter this year. The 24-year-old is a former basketball player with a big 6-foot 5-inch frame and natural receiving skills. And he's being coached by a couple…

Fantasy Football 2013: 3 Players Poised for Bounce-Back Seasons
Bleacher Report - Fantasy Football17 May 2013 | 10:34 am2012 was not a year full of unicorns and rainbows for some superstars. The NFL might be an offensive league, but not all of its top skill-position players had superb seasons that made fantasy owners happy. But there were different reasons why certain superstars failed to deliver the same yards and touchdowns that they had in the past. And there are signs that some of these 2012 disappointments should return to their former fantasy glory in 2013 thanks to offseason improvements, player additions and other factors. Here are three players poised for bounce-back seasons for fantasy football… -

Buccaneers 'not against' starting rookie QB Mike Glennon in Week 1
FFToolbox Fantasy Football Updates19 May 2013 | 10:03 pmForget Mike Glennon possibly replacing Josh Freeman during the season. Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano told Dan Pompei of the National Football Post that Glennon could be his starting quarterback coming out of training camp. "But our situation will be only if [Glennon] is needed. Or if he wins the job," Schiano said. "Look, I'm not against that. We have a strong quarterback. It's not like we're looking to find a starter. But competition is competition. Mike Glennon is a fierce competitor." FANTASY ANALYSIS: The article runs through Schiano's history with Glennon, back to when he recruited…

After 12 NFL seasons, someone has finally taught Eagles QB Michael Vick how to carry the ball
19 May 2013 | 7:43 pmApparently. You would think that some coach -- Dan Reeves? Jim Mora Jr? Andy Reid? -- would teach one of the most dangerous running quarterbacks in the history of football how to carry the ball while running. But Vick said Eagles head coach Chip Kelly finally got it done. "Chip told me how to run with the football the other day," Vick said in a radio interview last week. "He tought me how to run with the football and how to carry the football, and I think it's something that you just have to work on. "The other day, I broke out of the pocket, and the first thing Chip told me was to tuck the… -
Cardinals QB Carson Palmer 'still has it'
19 May 2013 | 7:17 pmThe Cardinals wouldn't have traded for and then signed 33-year-old Carson Palmer if they believed he could no longer throw the deep ball. So far, head coach Bruce Arians likes what he has seen from Palmer. Most importantly, Arians said Palmer can still launch it. "He's tough as nails," Arians said about Palmer on Sunday in an ESPN interview. "As good a deep-ball thrower as I've ever seen. I mean really accurate on the deep ball. He still has it. What he did last year with the Raiders, in a crazy situation, I thought was very, very impressive." FANTASY ANALYSIS: That deep-throw ability is one… -

Is Michael Floyd underrated?
18 May 2013 | 2:58 pmI don't own Floyd in any leagues and haven't made any real efforts to change that, but I see him consistently rated well below other comparable prospects like Justin Blackmon, Josh Gordon, DeAndre Hopkins, and Cordarrelle Patterson. Is he underrated? He was a higher draft pick than Hopkins and Patterson. On paper, he seems to possess prototypical #1 receiver tools at 6'2.5" 220 with 4.40 speed and solid workout numbers. He was a consistently good player in college. He had a fairly modest rookie year, but Arizona's entire passing game was toxic last season. It's hard to blame that all on… -

Best & Worst position groups in the NFL for the 2013 Season
18 May 2013 | 10:29 amWorst position groups in the NFL: Offense By Gregg RosenthalAround The League Editor Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brian Hartline said Monday morning on "NFL AM" that he was part of the best wide receiver group in the AFC East. This sounds outlandish until the moment you realize it is undeniably true. The other three teams in the division all have poor wide receiver groups. Which got me thinking: What are the worst position groups in the NFL? Since it's a Monday in May, and my family doesn't really enjoy my company, I had time to break it down. Offense up first. Worst…

2013 Fantasy Football Profile and Projection: Jets RB Chris Ivory
19 May 2013 | 6:53 amWhen it comes to fantasy sports, a player's opportunity can be nearly as important as his talent. Chris Ivory should finally get the opportunity to showcase his talent in 2013.Although Ivory led the New Orleans Saints in rushing in 2010 as a rookie with 716 yards, he has been buried on the team's depth chart over the past two seasons behind Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles. In fact, he played in only 12 games over those two seasons combined. In the offseason, the New York Jets traded their fourth-round pick to the Saints for Ivory, who agreed to a three-year deal with the Jets. -

Although that's to be expected from obvious defenses such as the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos, the following defenses offer just as much potential entering this campaign. Cleveland…

Waiting to Draft a Kicker? Not so Fast.
15 Mar 2013 | 5:00 pmIt is not enough to just want to draft a kicker for your fantasy football team. Clearly, everyone is going to have to have one on their team. However, the key is making sure that you get the right one, and that you time it right as well. Kickers often get no respect in terms of the draft. They are secluded to be an afterthought in the whole process, and most people are not going to use one of their top picks to get a kicker. However, this could be a mistake. Kickers are a very big deal when it comes down to the final point count. They are going to be the ones who score the points that no one…

Understanding the Super Bowl Stock Market Theory
18 Jan 2013 | 9:35 amSure, we all understand football betting odds, and how to make our favorite tailgating treat, but understanding the Big Game's relationship to Wall Street is a bit hard to grasp, at best. And yes, we think it's a giant coincidence. Still here's the basic gist: The Super Bowl indicator holds that a victory by an NFC team or an original (pre-1970 merger) NFL team—the Browns, Colts, and Steelers—point to a bullish market the following year. An AFC victory signals a bearish drop in the market. The Super Bowl Theory has been an accurate indicator 37 times out of the past 46 times. Those are… -

Essential Reads before the 2013 NFL Draft
25 Apr 2013 | 4:28 pmI know you’re hungry for more draft intel. Tired of hearing who the Bills will pick at No. 8? Me too. Rather than dwell on that, here are a few essential reads to get you in the know before the draft. First, Dr. Jene Bramel lays out which players could drop due to concerns about their health. A few top prospects may not go in the first round this year because NFL GMs can’t be sure they’ll return to their peak college form. Next up, feast on some mock drafts from around the Web.

Social media mentions predict the 2013 NFL Draft picks [Infographic]

Via Mashable: That’s the premise of some algorithmic number-crunching done by the online marketing company iProspect.

2013 Rookie Dynasty Draft – WR Rankings
3 May 2013 | 10:08 amPhoto By: Joshua S. Kelly / USA TODAY Sports DeAndre Hopkins HOU (1st RD) - While Cordarrelle Patterson may have the best upside from a raw skills perspective in this years class, it is Deandre Hopkins that is No.1 on my board. In Hopkins you have the most polished receiver in this class and he should be a slam dunk, week one starter opposite Andre Johnson. At worst case Hopkins will be a bye week starting option in his rookie year and at best case he’s probably a weekly WR3 play. By next year we should see his floor at WR3, and his upside could blossom as far as a WR1 in PPR leagues,… -
2013 Rookie Dynasty Drafts – RB Rankings
3 May 2013 | 7:28 amPhoto By: Jayne Kamin-Oncea / USA TODAY Sports We don’t have a deep class of running backs this year, with starter upside. It’s probably a good idea to pass on running backs in the middle rounds of your draft if you should miss out on the first eight backs on this list. Giovani Bernard, CIN (1st Round) - Bernard had a hard upbringing as his mom passed away when he was a kid and he even lived with another family for a time, while his Dad went off to look for work. I love this kid and his pass receiving skills will make him a start in PPR leagues. For now, he will have to play… -

Manuel, BUF (1st Round) – Whether you agree or disagree with the Bills moving back up in the first round to select Manuel, you have to admit GM Buddy Nix did a good job adding weapons, via the draft. Adding receivers Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin and tight end Chris Gragg add speed to Buffalo’s offense, and the pickup ultra-talented yet troubled receiver Da’Rick Rogers after the draft, gives Manuel an exciting group of players to grow with. If your drafting in the later part of the first round and need a development quarterback… -

I had the chance to hear an interview with Eifert on Movin’ The Chains, about a week before the draft and they asked him if he’d visited any teams for workouts. To my surprise Eifert told them he hadn’t visited teams, but radio host Pat Kirwan said that was a good thing in his case because it meant teams… -

While many of us will likely allocate our Sports Betting money to the Broncos side of this matchup (mainly because of home field, and all the turnover in Baltimore) it is a player like Manning, that should give us pause about what to actually expect this time of year.

Price Check: Jordan Cameron
19 May 2013 | 5:00 amTalk about skyrocketing value. Jordan Cameron’s ADP and trade value have ballooned over the last few weeks. He’s gone from a player commonly ranked around the 20th to 25th tight end to a guy comfortably slated in the 10th to 15th range. The rise is mostly due to recent comments from the Browns’ coaching staff that have led fantasy owners to speculate about Cameron’s ceiling given his athletic ability, as well the Browns’ new offensive scheme under head coach Rob Chudzinski. Specifically, Coach Chudzinski recently spoke about the Browns’ new offense stating, “This is an… -

The Value of the Veto
18 May 2013 | 5:00 amLast year, I read an impassioned article by Tim Stafford about why vetoing trades should be disallowed, found here. The point of the article is that owners should be responsible enough to decide the fate of their team. After all, the NFL allows every trade and fantasy football is based on what a professional team would do (wink, wink). Remember this isn’t the NFL where every team is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. A dynasty league usually only requires a yearly fee or perhaps a two-year investment. Let’s explore a recently vetoed trade in one of the leagues I am in as I… -
Lone Star State
17 May 2013 | 5:00 amFor the better part of the past three and half seasons, Arian Foster has been a one-man fantasy football wrecking crew for the Houston Texans. Over that 51-game span, he’s posted 4,521 rushing yards (on 4.5 yards per carry) and scored a ridiculous 44 rushing touchdowns. When you add in his 167 catches, 1,531 receiving yards and six additional scores through the air, you have the definition of a fantasy stud. Owners who were lucky enough to land him late in their 2009 rookie draft or as an undrafted free agent later that Summer likely have at least one dynasty championship to show for… -
Rookie Dynasty Debate: Eddie Lacy vs. Montee Ball
16 May 2013 | 5:00 amRewind to a week before the draft and the number one rookie pick was Eddie Lacy in most instances. Ever since an injury induced draft slide found him landing on the Green Bay Packers roster alongside Jonathan Franklin, he’s been slowly trickling down the dynasty rankings. On the other hand, Montee Ball has seen his stock skyrocket since being selected in the second round by the Denver Broncos. In March, he was being picked in mocks as the eighth rookie off the board. Now, he’s a consensus top ten rookie pick with some taking him as early as second or third overall. Chris Rohrer…

IDP Top Prospects
8 May 2013 | 5:00 pmIDP TOP PROSPECTS Fantasy football comes in many different forms, and one of the newer innovations is the use of individual defensive players, IDP, instead of team defense. In these leagues, it is just as important to be aware of the rookie defensive players as well as the offensive. In this article I am going to break down who I believe the top prospects are at defensive line, linebacker and defensive back. Defensive Linemen It is important to note that defensive lineman usually score the least amount of points as compared to the other positions, and… -

Star's Shares: 5/14/13
14 May 2013 | 8:22 amSweet Dee Photo Credit: bridgetds Most fantasy writers have no problem recommending players you should go after, but do they really pick up all the players they hype up? I’ll answer for them: no. Here on “Star’s Shares,” we’ll discuss players yours truly has personally invested in throughout the three leagues I’m in. If a player is good enough to sit on one of my teams, then surely they are worthy of your attention. It was a busy week for yours truly. Injuries and slow starts forced my strong, sinewy hand.

His numbers so far in 2013 have been stellar, but if you own any shares of Buchholz, the time has come to sell. More after the jump: Clay Buchholz is 6-0. His ERA is a Type-A tidy 1.01. He’s striking out more people than ever. This is the best stretch of his professional career, but don’t get it twisted. This is merely a “stretch.” There’s so many areas in which he’s performing over his head that his new mantra should… -

Finally, Matt Cain Sucks
1 May 2013 | 2:35 pmCain Ain’t Able Photo Credit: StormXor For years Matt Cain has defied logic. Despite being a flyball pitcher with a mediocre batted ball profile and mediocre swing-and-miss ability, Cain has been one of the most reliable aces in fantasy baseball for a few years now. I don’t think I’ve ever owned him in a league, mostly because the price was too high considering the unimpressive strikeout numbers and the fact that his advanced stats were just begging for a serious regression. He’s managed to defy the expectation of stat nerds everywhere, but the other cleat has… -

Is Josh Hamilton a lost cause? Or will God’s favorite addict pull off another improbable comeback? More after the jump: Hamilton’s fast-rising strikeout rate and fragile health were the chief reasons I stayed away from him this draft…

If Mike Leake struggles at all as the fifth man on the Reds rotation, Cingrani would gladly make his way back. Some fantasy baseball players had claimed Cingrani, please make the corresponding move to send him back to the free agent pool.
