NFL's Greatest Fantasy Football Franchises: Cleveland Browns No. 20

Do you think Johnny Manziel is going to improve the Cleveland Browns' 20th ranked fantasy squad? No. We believe Bryan Hoyer is the man in Cleveland and are very interested in Josh Gordon's possible suspension.

NFL's Greatest Fantasy Football Franchises: Carolina Panthers No. 19

The Carolina Panthers have a good chance to walk away with the NFC SOUTH in 2014. We're just not sure who we'd like on our fantasy team outside of the defense and Cam Newton. Food for thought: the Panthers don't need a lot of points to win games.

NFL's Greatest Fantasy Football Franchises: Washington No. 18

What to make of Washington's fantasy outlook in 2014? In our opinion it comes down to the play of Robert Griffin III  - a relative unknown in our book. Despite coming into the league at the same time as megastars Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, we don't see him in the same light and think he's overvalued in most fantasy circles. Washington hasn't had much fantasy-luck historically, and we'd advise you to give all of their players a second thought on draft day.

NFL's Greatest Fantasy Football Franchises: Miami Dolphins No. 17

When was the last time a member of the Miami Dolphins was drafted in the first round of your fantasy league? Their all-time greatest fantasy roster only contains one player from the past decade highlighting a streak of fantasy mediocrity that should serve as a cautionary tale for your 2014 draft.  

GUESS WHO: The lone Dolphin from the past decade to make the all-time fantasy squad.

QB: Dan Marino (1984) - 360.66 Fantasy Points


Dan Marino finished the 1984 season with negative seven rushing yards. He overcame his woes on the ground with 5,084 passing yards and 48 touchdowns. This was the greatest fantasy season by a quarterback until 1998. GUESS WHO beat Marino's fantasy record in 1998!

HB1: Ricky Williams (2002) - 323.60 Fantasy Points

Ricky Williams first season with Miami was a career year. The former Heisman Trophy winner totaled 2,216 yards from scrimmage in 2002, and scored 17 times. 

HB2: Lamar Smith (2000) - 230.00 Fantasy Points

Lamar Smith defied conventional fantasy logic and totaled 1,340 yards from scrimmage with 16 touchdowns at the ripe old age of 30. Do you still think Frank Gore is too old?

WR1: Mark Clayton (1984) - 250.40 Fantasy Points

Mark Clayton caught 18 of Marino's 48 touchdowns in 1984.

WR2: Mark Duper (1986) - 196.30 Fantasy Points

Mark Duper and Dan Marino connected 67 times for 1,313 yards and 11 touchdowns. 

TE: Charles Clay (2013) - 119.40 Fantasy Points

Charles Clay is the lone dolphin from the past decade to make the team. His 119.40 fantasy points are 7th lowest among tight ends in this countdown. 

FLEX: Karim Abdul-Jabbar (1997) - 211.30 Fantasy Points

Karim Abdul-Jabbar didn't rush for 1,000 yards in 1997, but he did find the end zone 16 times. 

K: Olindo Mare (1999) - 151.00 Fantasy Points

Olindo Mare beat the average for kickers on this countdown by 3 points, or one field goal between 0-39 yards. Nice.

Rabble Waivers: Week 9

Quarterbacks

Jason Campbell (CLE) STARTER
Picking up where Brian Hoyer left off, Jason Campbell proved that Brandon Wheeden has no business taking snaps for the Browns. This offense is talented and it seems like everyone not named Wheeden has found success operating in it. Take a chance on Campbell who lit up the Kansas City Chiefs in Arrowhead Stadium to the tune of  293 yards and two touchdowns. It could be a down week for Campbell in a divisional tilt against the Ravens, but he's worth a spot on your team if you have concerns at quarterback.

Trap Starts: Week 8

I'm a T-R-A-P-S-T-AAAARRT!
The following list contains players that may seem like a good start for Week 8, but actually belong on the bench. Welcome to Rabble Rabble Football's: TrapStarts aka: Do not start these players in Week 8!

Rabble Waivers: Week 8

Quarterbacks

1. Josh McCown (CHI) WEEK 9 STARTER
It's rarely mentioned, but the Bears have quietly assembled one of the most talented offenses in football. Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jefferey, Martellus Bennet and Matt Forte are solid starts in just about all fantasy leagues. Josh McCown is no different. We don't think there is anything special about Jay Cutler, so don't expect much of a drop-off with McCown under center. The Bears are on a bye, so add this guy now and start him in Week 9.

Rabble Waivers: Week 7

Quarterbacks

1. Nick Foles (PHI) STARTER
Nick Foles' four touchdown performance in Sunday's contest in Tampa is nothing to sneeze at. The Bucs are 0-5, but their defense had been playing well, allowing just 17.5 points per game. Foles and the Eagles scored 31 on Sunday. He hasn't given the Eagles any reason to rush Vick back onto the field, and we wouldn't be surprised if he finishes the season as the Eagles starting quarterback.

2. Josh Freeman (MIN) HIDE N' WATCH
Josh Freeman is going to be the starting quarterback in Minnesota sooner than later. Now would be a good time to pickup the potential QB1. It's becoming clear that Tampa is the problem, not Josh Freeman. Tampa is no stranger to releasing talent. Notable Departures under Greg Schiano: Aquib Talib, LeGarette Blount, Michael Bennett (led SEA in Sacks before injury).
