Your 2014 Lottery Ticket (1 Viewer)

If anyone ever needed a fresh start, it's new Rams WR Kenny Britt. His five star-crossed seasons in Tennessee were a mix of off-field issues, injuries and flashes of big-play potential. But as the Rams begin the second week of OTAs, Britt is all smiles. Last Thursday, Britt caught two long touchdown passes while his chiseled frame (6-3, 223) has already earned him the nickname "Incredible Hulk" from some of his new teammates. "He's a big, explosive wide receiver who can make plays down the field," QB Sam Bradford said. "He's looked really good in his time here. I just feel like he brings kind of a presence and an energy that maybe hasn't been there in the past."

 
After 10, I wouldn't mind taking a flyer on Amendola as a WR4/5. He's got some upside when he's in the lineup.

I like Ladarius Green back there a lot in leagues where you can flex a TE.

Likely to be a young RB back there that puts up RB2 numbers. Anyone have good candidates past the 10th?

 
Lamar Miller, Bernard Pierce (especially if Rice gets suspended) and Jstew for RB's

Dobson and Justin Hunter for WR's

Ladarius for TE

 
In the 10th+: Kelvin Benjamin, David Wilson, Lamar Miller, Justin Hunter, Markus Wheaton, Johnny Football, Heath Miller, Jonathan Stewart, Justin Blackmon (dependant on reinstatement), CJ Anderson, Chris Polk. Andrew "young baby" Hawkins.

 
AJ Jenkins

Super cheap former first rounder. KC doesn't have much in the way of keeping him off the field - except for maybe Jenkins himself.

He offers very little assurance, but I still like him at his price - probably like the last round even in deep leagues.

i have been contemplating taking amendola and dobson in the hopes one can emerge into a wr2. Doubt i end up doing that because of all the value late this year
 
Britt is the definition of lottery ticket, especially for those of us who have held on to his ### for a few years.

 
Bradshaw- a proven RB1 in fantasy. If he can return from his neck issue he has proven he can play through his foot issues and produce, also he has had a year off to rest those feet.

 
lol at Britt. He was my lotto ticket last year. So was Gronk. No payout on either one.

It's early and I have more research to do, but possible lotto tickets this year

Andre Brown

Ahmad Bradshaw

Danny Amendola

 
This is a 2015 ticket, but in dynasty I'm holding onto Duron Carter from the CFL. Cris' son, with a lot of college baggage, but playing very well for Montreal.

It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that he will get a shot with an NFL team next season. The Montreal GM has even said so.

 
I'm going to target Ballard. I don't believe Richardson will keep that job so both Bradshaw and Ballard are good values at current ADP.

 
I probably bought in a little too early but what do people think of Saints backup QB Ryan Griffin. Since Sean Payton was the driving force behind the recruitment and development of Tony Romo, I wonder if Griffin could be on a similar career path. The Saints had to move him from the practice squad to the active roster last year to prevent the Rams from signing him. So far I have heard nothing but glowing reports coming from the saints OTAs. He will challenge Luke McCown in training camp to be the #2 QB.

I will concede that he not really a 2014 lottery ticket but more of a long term investment.

 
I think one real longshot I hope pays off is Levine Tooloolloolio in ATL. Guy is a beast and if he starts and that offense is clicking he could have a lot of red zone looks.

 
Quarterback:
Matt Schaub


Running Back:

Ahmad Bradshaw

Wide Receiver:

Marvin Jones

Tight End:

Ladarius Green

Defense:

Green Bay Packers

I think Fiedorowicz is the most athletic TE on the team.

He's talking about a QB.

I think the safest bet is Graham. He's starting at "move" Tight End (Aaron Hernandez's) old position in the Offense. The other two guys are competing for the Gronk role. Not sure what the implications of this are with Fitzpatrick at Quarterback but they're paying Graham the most so he's the guy I'd probably target.

Well then he's probably not going to win the Texans starting TE job.

It's so easy to confuse the Ryans, Brian, and Griffindor.

 
Brian Quick and Mark Ingram

Both were high picks, showed little their 1st few years in the NFL. But they both still have potential to be starters on their NFL teams and your FF team. None of the Saints RBs scare me, so Ingram could be the guy. None of the Rams WRs scare me, plus Bailey has a suspension to start the year. The bottom of your FF rosters should be full of guys that are cheap and could blow up. If not, they can be cut easily.

 
Kubiak will make Flacco an all-world QB..

Ray Rice

H. Nicks

J. Jernigan.

Cj2k should be awesome behind that Jets oline.

Harry Douglas

Andre Williams - Wilson is fools gold, Jennings has a history of injuries.its only a matter of time.

Tre Mason
