By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. The Cleveland Browns were awful last season, but new coach Hue Jackson gave us some glimmers of hope in fantasy. His record as a running back guru is specifically where I would like to return when looking toward third-year back Isaiah Crowell’s fantasy stock. Coming into…

By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. The Browns, and mostly Hue Jackson, gave Terrelle Pryor a shot to prove himself as a wide receiver, and he more than adequately did just that last year in his first full season as a wide receiver. He saw 140 targets from Cody Kessler, Robert Griffin…

By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. I’m pretty high on C.J. Anderson this season, and so far, the news hasn’t lowered those expectations much. The good news is that many in your fantasy leagues will be down on Anderson after he was picked in the first round last season only to kick…

By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. Eli Manning has never really spurred confidence in fantasy footballers. He has been quite the interception machine over his career. In his 12 seasons, Manning has led the league in interceptions three times, hitting over 20 each time. In 2013, he threw just 18 touchdowns compared…

By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. Devin Funchess continues to get a ton of offseason hype, and it’s enough to make me wonder if it’s actually true. Kelvin Benjamin hasn’t fully returned to practices, and Funchess has been the star of OTAs according to those in the know. Funchess converted from tight…

By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. Last season, Matthew Stafford got off to a horrendous start, averaging 23.8 completions on 37.2 attempts – 64 percent – for 261.3 yards, 1.5 touchdown passes and 1.3 interceptions through the first 10 games. Then Ol’ Jim Bob Cooter implemented a scaled-down offense and Stafford finished…

By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. Jordan Matthews has put up decent fantasy numbers in his first two seasons, but the Eagles have a new regime in town, which makes things a bit more problematic when trying to assess Matthews’ fantasy value for 2016. The first question is, what kind of offense…

By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. Below, I have compiled a list of very late-round wide receivers to target in your fantasy drafts. You’ll see their ADPs near their names and my analysis that follows. J.J. Nelson, Cardinals – WR 96, 305 overall Nelson is one of the best deep-pass receivers in…

By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. I’ve never been a huge fan of Philip Rivers. His face just looks kinda punchable, but hey, that’s no reason not to draft him. It’s actually a reason to go ahead and draft him, as some newbies just don’t want his crying meme-y face on their…

By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham Follow @walterfootball for updates. Below, I have compiled a list of very late-round running backs to target in your fantasy drafts. You’ll see their ADPs near their names and my analysis that follows. I’m a big proponent of drafting multiple lottery-ticket running backs late, while getting stud wide receivers early,…
