15 2017 Fantasy Football Sleepers

Carson Wentz is one of the fifteen NFL players you should keep your eyes in the late rounds of your fantasy football drat in 2017. Photo credit: CSN Philly 2017 Fantasy Football - 15 Sleepers  This is a list of my favorite 2017 fantasy football sleepers - underrated players who are going way later than they should. The Average Draft Position (ADP) is found on FantasyFootballCalculator.com.  The past two years of Fantasy Football Sleepers have been a mixed bag. For 2015, three of my top six sleepers were Dion Lewis, Jordan Reed and Cam Newton. On the flip side, however, I was way wrong on Kendall Wright, Stevie Johnson and Breshad Perriman. As for last season, I nailed Michael Thomas, Spencer Ware, Robert Kelley, Kenneth Dixon. Some whiffs, however, were Tajae Sharpe, DeAndre Washington, Devin Funchess and Devontae Booker.   Joe Williams, RB, 49ers. ADP: 12.02.  Joe Williams was a fourth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, but would've gone earlier h...

Cowboys Not First Choice For Jerry

Image
Jerry Jones will take his place in the Pro Football Hall of  Fame in Canton, Ohio this weekend. Photo credit: USA Today When oil wildcatter Jerry Jones paid his way into the NFL in 1989 it wasn't his first attempt to own a pro football team. The new Hall of Fame owner of the richest sports franchise in the world was not always "Mr. Dallas Cowboys". In 1966, after graduating from the University of Arkansas, Jones made a bid to buy the San Diego Chargers for $5.8 million. The team is now #21 on the Forbes NFL list with a valuation just over $2 billion with a "B". Jones had promises from investors in Missouri to secure the deal with AFL team, but his dad Pat Jones told him not to do it. This was pre-NFL-AFL merger and teams were losing money like crazy to stay afloat. Once the merger went through, the Chargers sold for $10 million. What if Jerry never listened to his dad's advice?  The speculation was that he would have moved the Chargers to St. ...

Training Camp Report: Cowboys Considering Manziel for Backup?

Image
At the end of the first week of Dallas Cowboys training camp, things seem to have started where they left off at the quarterback position. Tony Romo is not on the field. The projected backup quarterback, Kellen Moore, is out for most of the season. And an untested rookie QB, Dak Prescott, is taking reps with the first team. The uncertainty under center remains a constant. Plan A was to acquire Nick Foles, but he shunned "offensive guru" Jason Garrett to play under the coach that drafted him, Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs. For a player that forced his way out of the LA Rams because he wants to be a long-term starter, backing up the injury prone Romo would seem to be the better option. But playing in cold KC behind a younger Alex Smith appeared better. Plan B? Sources within the organization have told us that they are "considering many options." When asked directly if those options including a Dallas resident, former Heisman winner quarterback with a fon...

Jerry Jones Ready To Embrace Life After Romo

Image
Jason Garrett, Charlotte Jones, Jerry Jones, and Stephen Jones discuss the 2016 NFL Draft picks.  Jerry Jones has always stated that Tony Romo will be his quarterback for the next few years, but the recent draft shows his acceptance to prepare to move on. by Rodney Fisher The Dallas Cowboys started the draft with two main goals: Take Ezekiel Elliott with the 4th pick. Trade back into the first round and take quarterback Paxton Lynch. After a proposed trade with the Seattle Seahawks was trumped by the Denver Broncos to draft Lynch with the 26th overall pick, the Cowboys set their sites on Michigan State QB Connor Cook or Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott. The selected Prescott in the fourth round. When contemplating how to select the potential Romo-replacement, they sought the advice of legend Roger Staubach. His advice was to focus on the intangibles like leadership and self-confidence. Prescott was a team captain for the Bulldogs since he showed up on campus. ...

Is Ezekiel Elliott the New Emmitt Smith?

Image
Ezekiel Elliott joins a unique hall-of-fame class of top five running back picks by the Dallas Cowboys.  The Dallas Cowboys selected Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott with the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. Now, the comparisons to other first round running back draft picks begin... by Rodney Fisher The Dallas Cowboys have only drafted a running back with within the first 5 picks twice: Tony Dorsett and Emmitt Smith. Although Elliott is bigger, faster, and stronger than Smith was coming out of Florida, many fans believe that he will be the needed "triplet" piece to return the franchise to 90's dominance standards. More impressive than his stats is his leadership ability on a high ego team like Ohio State. When he did not feel he was being utilized enough on offense he spoke up. When the team needed someone to carry the load on or off the field, Zeke raised his hand first.That quality alone makes him more Emmitt-like than DeMarco Murray was.

Cowboys Actively Seeking Draft Trade

Image
Dallas Cowboys looking to trade out of the fourth spot. Sources within the Dallas Cowboys organization say the franchise is actively seeking trade partners to move down out of the #4 spot. by Rodney Fisher The Cowboys have been busy during the NFL free agency period locking up current players and adding new key position players like Alfred Morris at running back. As much as fans, myself including, have been salivating at the idea of drafting Tony Romo's replacement with the fourth pick, the team brass have been kicking the tires on a trade down to gain more late round picks. There is no question. Not having Tony Romo and Dez Bryant for the majority of the 2015 season cost them big. There only reward was a high draft pick fueling the fire for Romo's replacement. Coming off yet another clavicle surgery in the offeseason, the team is content starting the season with him, Kellen Moore, and another veteran to be named later. That leaves the door open for the Cowboys to a...

Super Bowl 50: Peyton Mannings Place in NFL History Win or Lose

Image
Peyton Manning`s Place in History by Da`Vince “Dino” Wright Peyton Manning is one of the most intriguing quarterbacks to ever play the game. He`s not flashy, fast or cocky. He`s just a flat out winner!  The football Gods have ordained him a champion, a leader, and a four-time MVP. One might say that he is one of the smartest quarterbacks to play the game. Manning's key to success is the bond he has with his receivers. Every off season he, along with his receivers and tight ends, work out with the play book and develop hand signals. Defenses are too busy listening to “Omaha Omaha Omaha” at the line to every pay attention. The hand signals directs the receivers to certain spots on the field. This is one of the main reasons why Peyton has a spot in history.  Let`s take a look at his accolades and records Peyton obtained in his 18 year career. He has the NFL touchdown passing record with 509 and counting.  Single season passing touchdown record ...
