Are you thinking of handcuffing DeMarco Murray this season?

Stop.

That's racist.

And you look paranoid.

NFL's Greatest Fantasy Football Franchises: Tampa Bay Buccaneers No. 31

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known for being the worst. The franchise holds NFL records for longest-losing-streak (26 games), most consecutive 10-loss seasons (12 seasons), and was the last franchise to return a kickoff for a touchdown. Tampa generally finds their way to the bottom, and their 31st place ranking among the greatest fantasy football franchises is par for the course.

NFL's Greatest Fantasy Football Franchises: New York Jets No. 30

When was the last time a member of the New York Jets was drafted in the first-round of your fantasy league? Sure the Jets aren't the lowest scoring fantasy franchise of all-time, but one would expect more from an original AFL team.

NFL's Greatest Fantasy Football Franchises: Arizona Cardinals No. 25

As we take a break from the AFC North, we head into the best defensive division in the NFC, the NFC West. The Arizona Cardinals rank 25th on our countdown and their lineup is unique compared to the rest of the teams on our countdown. Scroll down to view Arizona's dubious distinction.

NFL's Greatest Fantasy Football Franchises: Buffalo Bills No. 22

The Buffalo Bills rank in at number 22 on our countdown and boast some familiar talent from your memories of pre-millennial football. While it's likely that some Bills will be drafted in your league, we'd avoid most members of the 2014 squad until the later rounds. Our sincerest apologies if you were spoiled by C.J. Spiller in 2013.  

Team Score: 1796.56

Guess Who: Name the Two Bills from the last decade (2004-2014) that made the team.

NFL's Greatest Fantasy Football Franchises: New York Giants No. 21

The New York Giants are the 21st ranked All-Time Fantasy team in our countdown. This is something to keep in mind as you approach your 2014 Fantasy Draft. Don't bELIeve the NFC EAST hype.

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: 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.

17. Miami Dolphins 1842.66

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).
