2015 Off-Season Moves

Kyle Terada - USA Today Sports

The off-season has been extremely busy and it's almost hard to keep up with all the changes.  Here are my initial thoughts on players (in no particular order) and what I foresee for 2015.


Jimmy Graham (TE, SEA) - if he had to leave Drew Brees then he found a spot where he can be completely utilized.

Russell Wilson loves to throw to his TE and Graham is going to be a target monster. I would be Graham is going to push for the #1 TE in 2015.

Demarco Murray and Ryan Mathews (RB, PHI) - Murray is going to be fed the ball a ton in Philly but will lose passing downs to Mathews and Darren Sproles. He is going to get a ton of carries, but don't expect a repeat of 2015. Murray has the chance to be top 15 this year, but Mathews loses the majority of his value and will struggle to be in the top 40.

Brandon Marshall (WR, NYJ) - Unless the Jets find a long term solution at QB then Marshall will struggle to put up top 10 numbers again. Fitzpatrick spreads the ball around and Geno Smith is a bit unpredictable. Marshall will probably come up with 800+ yards and near double digit TD's for 2015.

Nick Foles (QB, StL) - this is a big downgrade for Foles in a less than spectacular offense. I would recommend you steer clear of Foles in 2015 as the question marks are just too big.

Sam Bradford (QB, PHI) - if Philly doesn't draft a rookie QB and Bradford can stay healthy then Bradford should find a way to throw up usable fantasy numbers. Philly looks like a completely different team in 2015 but Bradford will have tons of weapons all around him. Keep an eye on the rookie draft and then Bradford can be had as a back-up QB with nice upside.

Lesean McCoy (RB, BUF) - Rex Ryan loves to run the football and he is going to feed McCoy. McCoy played with a bit of turf-toe last year, but should now be fully healthy again. McCoy also has great hands and will no doubt be getting a ton of dump-offs so if you are in a PPR league you will benefit.

Frank Gore (RB, IND) - he just hit the jackpot to produce further in 2015; Indy loves senior RB's and there will be no way he isn't used until the wheels fall off (remember what happened to Ahmad Bradshaw). Gore can catch the ball as well so if you are in a redraft PPR league then Gore is someone who can be drafted with confidence.

Reggie Bush (RB, SF) - the 49ers will find a way to use Reggie next year and I would see him being used more in the passing game. He will have some upside for PPR leagues, but he is still a wildcard at this point. I am not excited about Reggie and will not be targeting him in 2015.

Torrey Smith (WR, SF) - the 49ers pass game should change a bit in 2015 and Smith will draw many deep targets as Anquan Boldin is no longer the deep threat he used to be. He will not be the most consistent WR but will have some big games next year.

Jeremy Maclin (WR, KC) - KC is a black hole for WR's as Alex Smith spreads the ball and is not a deep passer. He is just not a WR I will be going after, but he is better than Dwayne Bowe, but my expectations are low here.

Jordan Cameron (TE, MIA) - Ryan Tannehill likes to throw to his TE and if Cameron can stay healthy he will be a red-zone target. He is a TE you can target in touchdown only leagues.
