15. WR F/A (Jaguars) Laurent Robinson- PCS or Post concussion symptoms- Career ending- Suffered almost a year ago.   Laurent wants to make a comeback similar to Austin Collie but his 4 Concussions in 2013 scared off any buyers and he isn't the same player. 

14. QB Kevin Kolb-Concussion- Possibly career ending-  Once the Prized replacement for Donavan McNabb he has been traded, injured (Concussion), Benched and not re-signed.  He finally ended up In Buffalo but just when the starting job was in the balance he got another concussion.  The bills fear for his career and their 6.1 M 2 Yr. investment. Don't bet on him coming back concussions are scary.












13. WR Joe Morgan- Torn ACL and Meniscus- Out for season- He was winning the WR3 spot in a potent saints offense with a HOF QB.  Devery Henderson was his closest completion but is aging and declining.

12. TE PIT Heath Miller- Torn ACL- Week 5 or 6- Was a mid level TE last season and in midst of career year before a horrible Knee injury in the season finale. This year will mostly likeable be the first time the 30 YR. old shows his mileage.

11.WR F/A (Patriots) Donald Jones- Heart Condition- Career Ending-  Though a subpar 2nd WR on the Bills Jones had his moments with poor QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.   His 2012 Campaign was better than Welker's 2006.  If statistic prevailed he could've reached 800 yards and 6 TDS with WR 3/4 value, but this is fantasy, injuries happen.
 

10.RB CAR Jonathan Stewart- 2 sprained ankles- weeks 3 or 4- once a solid RB, Stewart now is a clear backup to a potential RB1 (Williams ), something Stewart wishes he was.   In truth I believe the Panthers have 2 800 yard rushers, but neither one is Stewart (Williams + Newton).  At best a 3rd down back.

9. WR NYJ Santonio Holmes- Broken Foot- Unknown- Once a top 20-30 WR, Holmes is apparently "Milking" his injury.  He was fantasy relevant before the in jury but has been in steep decline in the last few years.

8. TE MIA Dustin Keller-Nerve Damage in Knee + torn ACL, PCL and MCL- At least a year, maybe more.-   He was building chemistry with a young talented QB and was playing on a much better team.  He had TE1 potential.


7. RB PIT Le'Veon Bell- Foot injury either Lisfranc or serve Sprain- Week 7 or later.-  A solid RB in the draft, he looked good and was primed to be a top 20, but Lisfranc's can be troublesome, his value is real if its just a sprain. For the 2nd half he might have RB3 or 4 value.

6. TE NE Rob Gronkowski- Back Surgery- Weeks 3 or 4- 2 Years ago he was the best TE ever but now he is an injury prone and party heavy celebrity.   Without a sure thing at WR2 or TE2 he has a lot of pressure but I really expect him to flounder.  680 Yrds and 7 TDS in 10 games are my predictions.
"You say Party?"


5. WR SD Danario Alexander- Torn LEFT ACL- Out for season- Another leg, really.  After spending time on the IR with a torn right ACl four of the last 5 years he now switches legs, Bravo.   He showed signs of WR2 potential last year but its clear that he is very similar to Kenny Britt, a huge risk/ reward guy.

4. TE BAL Dennis Pitta - Dislocated/ Broken Hip- out for season-  As an emerging threat on an aging team he was asked to be the possession receiver for Flacco, a solid job.  Sadly the team continues to weaken as their top TE and 2nd best target broke his hip. 

3.WR PHI Jeremy Maclin- Torn ACl/MCL- Out for season-  Though just a average WR2 Maclin was set to play for the offensive genius A.K.A Chip Kelly.  It looks like his brittleness finally  cost him.

2. WR SF Michael Crabtree- Achilles Tendon tear- Out for season- As Colin Kaepernick's top Target he had all the opportunities in the world and was the key to an explosive offense.  He owned WR1 upside and WR2 value but Anquan Boldin will be doing his Job this season.


1. WR SEA Percy Harvin- Torn ACL- Out till week 13-  A top 10 WR when healthy he has missed a ton of time due to injuries over the last couple years.  He has shown WR1 upside and had a huge QB upgrade but it looks like Wilson shall thro the ball to Golden Tate for a year.
