Congratulations to Griff Coomer for winning the 2016 Fantasy Football Championship. It was a stunning season, as Coomer became the third person to earn back-t0-back championships, earning both the top seed and the scoring crown. Without a doubt, we’re witnessing the beginning of a dynasty and…wait…I know this was a lot of people have been saying for months now, but I have a plan…let’s play the games and see what happens.

Yes, Griff’s keepers are amazing, maybe the best ever kept. He has a solid draft that did nothing to shake his ‘favorite’ label. Producing the kind of season that hands him both a top seed and scoring title seems very likely. Not only is averaging 1,500 points per game within reach, but barring a large batch of injuries, he could challenge Jason’s 2001 record of 1,558 PPG and Bob’s 2004 record of 25,509 total points in both the regular and post-season. Hell, why not 13-0?

Yet, what does Robio always say? Just get to the playoffs and win three games. Need a little proof? Okay, despite the many great teams that have won championships in this league, many would have never earned that mug if the match ups were different in earlier playoff rounds. In fact, no championship squad has ever been the highest scoring team in the quarterfinals and semifinals, as well as the finals.

Only three league champions were the weekly high scorer on in the quarterfinals…myself in 2002 and Bob in both 2010 and 2014. Of the 17 eventual champs, only five managed to be the top scorer in the semifinals, just recently becoming a tread. Neatock was the first person to have the weekly high score in the semis and go on to win the title game in 2007. He did it a second time in 2009. Lately, it’s happened three times in four seasons (Robio in 2012, Calderon in 2013 and Griff last season). Nine times an eventual champ would have been beaten by two teams in the quarters if the matchups were differently and the worst of the bunch was me in 2000. My team had the sixth best score in the quarters, but I still won and I advanced to win it all.

Hell, look at Bob. He’s put forth some of the league’s greatest teams, yet Bob has never been the highest scorer in the semifinals. Four times Bob would have lost to the he beat in the finals if they had met one week earlier. Twice he would have lost to both teams on the other side of the bracket. My point…bad things can happen to great teams and good things can happen to the rest of us. Now we have 13 weeks to get us into that position.

ALL-ROBIO PREDICTIONS 

FIRST-TEAM ALL-ROBIO

QB – Aaron Rodgers, GB (Bob) With a healthy Jordy Nelson and a slimmed down Eddie Lacy, Rodgers will find it easier to move the ball and earn what should be his first 1st-team All-Robio award since 2011.

RB – David Johnson, ARI (Griff) Obviously I love this kid. I think he’s the most dangerous back in the league now. He’s a solid runner and an ever better receiver out of the backfield. Think about it, he had 457 yards receiving, despite starting just five games as a rookie and averaged 4.6 yards per carry. This season, I’m projecting 1,300 yards rushing, 60+ receptions and 15 touchdowns.

RB – Lamar Miller, HOU (Bob) The Texans game plan is simple, pass the ball to Hopkins, run the ball with Miller. Prior to this year, Miller has remained a solid RB2, despite never getting 220 carries in any season. This year, he’ll get 300+. If he averages 4.7 like I project, he’ll rush for 1,504 yards and could approach 2,000 combined yards with his receiving yards.

WR – Antonio Brown, PIT (Eric) In 2013, he had 1,499 yards receiving. The following season that jumped to 1,698 yards. In 2015, that total climbed to 1,834 (the fourth most in NFL history. Can he break the 2,000 yard mark? It’s never happened before. Well, with all the suspension issues in Pittsburgh, I can easily see Big Ben forcing a few more throws to Brown. The more targets, the more receptions. If anyone can do it, he’s the one to do it.

WR – Julio Jones, ATL (Matt) Jones made the jump from elite wide receiver to the elite of the elite wide receiver, breaking the 1,800-mark. In fact, his 1,871 receiving yards was the second most ever caught by a player in NFL history (behind Calvin Johnson’s 1,974. Like Brown, Julio can challenge the 2,000-yard mark, but where Jones can become more dangerous is in the red zone. Jones has scored double-digit touchdowns just once (2012), producing only eight scores last year. That’s a terrible low number for a guy who was targeted a league high 203 times. If that number can jump to 14, Julio will skip past Brown as the league’s best receiver.

TE – Rob Gronkowski, NE (Rich B) If Gronkowski earns the first-team All-Robio award again this season, it will be the fifth for his career, tying Tony Gonzalez for the most by a tight end. Pretty good company. While I don’t believe it will be the cakewalk that it has been in the past, no reason to believe Gronk won’t finish on top yet again.

PK – Steve Hauschka, SEA (Colby) So far, Hauschka only has one second-team All-Robio award (2013). That seems criminally low. Plus, Colby can tie Griff and Eric for the most career first-team place kickers (three).

DST – Seahawks, SEA (Matt) At the very least, no defense has a more favorable schedule in the season’s first month: at home against the Dolphins, then to the Rams, home vs the 49ers and then on to New York to face the Jets.

SECOND-TEAM ALL-ROBIO

QB – Russell Wilson, CAR (Rich B) Yep, I’m putting Wilson ahead of Cam Newton. I’m not predicting a Superbowl hangover for Carolina, although it’s common. I just wouldn’t be surprised to see Newton’s numbers dip a bit in 2016. On the flip side, Wilson just looked so fantastic at the end of last year. Do I think he’s going to average 500 fantasy points per game, but I suspect the coaching staff will continue to open up the passing game.

RB – Todd Gurley, LAR (Bob) The talent is there, but can Gurley continue to dominate if the Rams struggle early and throw out the rookie quarterback and play for next season. The last thing you want to see is a nine-man front at the end of the season. It happened last year in St. Louis and Gurley failed to hit 50 yards rushing in four of his final six games.

RB – Ezekiel Elliot, DAL (Don) Too high for a rookie? Here’s the deal. This kid is talented and he’ll be a three-down back in Dallas. This is the same Dallas team that started Darren McFadden last year. McFadden is the same old running back, who despite starting just ten games, had 1,089 rushing yards, averaging 4.6 yards per carry. Elliot is better than McFadden.

WR – Keenan Allen, SD (Bob) Maybe I’m the only person truly in love with Allen (Bob obviously is high on him since he took him), but stats don’t lie. Playing in just eight games last year, Allen caught 75% of the balls thrown to him and actually led the league in receiving yards (725 yards) before getting knocked out for the year. If he stays healthy, he moves up to elite status.

WR – DeAndre Hopkins, HOU (Rich B) He had 1,521 yards last year with some of the worst quarterbacks in the league. I’m not going to argue that Brock Osweiler is a giant leap forward at the position, but even if he’s a slight improvement, it can only help Hopkins’ numbers.

TE – Jordan Reed, WAS (Rich C) After getting healthy last year, Reed showed off the beast he can be. In fact, he scored over 250 points in a game five times in his final ten contests. That’s Gronk-like.

PK – Stephen Gostkowski, NE (Jeff) He’s a three-time 1st team All-Robio place kicker. One more and he ties David Akers for most all-time. Yet, I’m predicting he comes up just short, landing second team.

DST – Broncos, DEN (Robio) I’d put them first, but there is no reason why they won’t great again, but somehow their offense just got worse. That will bump them down a bit.

THIRD-TEAM ALL-ROBIO

QB – Tyrod Taylor, BUF (Eric) Okay, this is a long shot, but I can’t go chalk on all these picks. That would be lame. Anyhow, there is something about this year’s Bills team. It’s been a tough offseason. Players have been suspended, cut and injured. Everyone is expecting bad things in Buffalo and predict a Rex Ryan firing by season’s end. Fact is, they have a favorable schedule (only facing four potential playoff teams and they get the Patriots minus Brady). I also think Taylor leads the league in rushing by a QB, which will bump up his fantasy stats.

RB – Adrian Peterson, MIN (Griff) He’s shown no sign of slowing down, yet I’ve clearly learn nothing, because I have him dropping to third-team.

RB – Eddlie Lacy, GB (Molly) Yep, I’m a believer. I think he holds off Devonta Freeman and Le’Veon Bell for the final All-Robio spot. I see 1,500 total yards and double digit touchdowns.

WR – Allen Robinson, JAC (Robio) The beauty of Robinson is that there is so much more room to grow. First, he earned third-team last year despite catching just 52% of his passes. Second, he was only thrown to 151 times. Elite receivers should get 180 looks. Let’s say he gets that and gets his percentage up to 65%. That would be 1117 catches and with his career 15.2 yard per catch average, that would be 1,778 yards this season.

WR – Odell Beckham, NYG (Griff) I have him finishing among the top-six, so I’m clearly not down on Beckham, but we’ll see if he can really be part of the true elites. I’m talking 1,700 yards and 12 touchdown elite. I foresee another sub-100 catch season, approaching about 1,500 yards.

TE – Greg Olsen, CAR (Robio) Gronkowski is trying to become the first tight end to produce three straight 1,000-yard seasons. Do you know who else is trying to do it…yep, Greg Olsen.

PK – Chandler Catanzaro, ARI (Robio) He’ll be 30 of 33 this season, with about 48 extra points.

DST – Chiefs, KC (Eric) Last year they had 47 sacks, the fourth most in NFL history. For this unit, it’s all about staying healthy, because when they are, they are arguable the league’s best. The problem has always been…staying healthy.

TEAM DRAFT REWINDS

1. Teams are listed based on draft order.

DON VOZZOLA

1 Ezekiel Elliott RB | DAL I feel like this is a no-brainer. When it comes to running backs, the younger, the better. Elliot is a three-down back, who can do it all. He’ll pull in receptions and get the goal line touches, all behind an offensive line that allowed Darren McFadden to average 4.6 yards per carry and 1,000 yards rushing.

24 Julian Edelman WR | NE Don needed a wide receiver (assuming he plans on starting Matt Jones at RB2. There were plenty of big names with arguable higher ceilings, but Edelman is the safest choice. He will remain Brady’s favorite target and is good for 100 catches if he remains healthy (despite Brady’s suspension)>

25 Andrew Luck QB | IND Here’s the argument to taking an elite quarterback. If all goes as planned and Luck remains healthy, Don will never have to think about his quarterback spot ever again (except during the Colts bye). There is something to be said for that.

48 Emmanuel Sanders WR | DEN Sorry, I feel like Sanders’ days as a fantasy worthy receiver are suspended for now. Trevor Siemian is the starting quarterback. The Broncos are going to run the ball a ton. Do we really think Sanders is going to get 1,000 yards receiving with Siemian (or Lynch) at quarterback? I don’t.

49 Golden Tate WR | DET This pick could end up being a great pick. The Lions will pass the ball a ton and with Megatron off on the golf course, Tate seems like the obvious choice to become the new #1 for the Lions. In fact, when Johnson got hurt two years ago, Tate was one of the best pair of hands in fantasy. Yet, word out of Lions camp is that Marvin Jones is the player catching every ball. Of course, things change once the games begin to count. If Tate can rediscover his old magic, Don’s got a stud WR2.

72 Danny Woodhead RB | SD Because we’re not a PPR league, Woodhead’s ceiling is only so high. Thanks to his ability to catch the ball, he actually produced a total of 1,091 yards (about a third of that came from the passing game). Yet, if you want to win a championship, you want a guy who is going to deliver at least 1,400 total yards. Plus, despite getting the goal line carries last year, Woodhead only scored three times. Something tells me the Chargers are going to give Gordon more opportunities this year.

73 Jordan Matthews WR | PHI (K) Matthews had a solid final month of 2015, so that should make Don happy, but right now, I don’t think he can be trusted in a starting lineup. We just don’t know who will be starting in Philadelphia at quarterback and we don’t know who that person is going to want to throw the ball to.

96 Gary Barnidge TE | CLE I’ll admit, it’s pretty shocking to see last year’s second best tight end fall to the eighth round. He caught 79 balls last year. In the first six seasons in the league, he caught just 44. Maybe I do see why he fell. If RGIII can stay on the field, I think Barnidge can continue to be a top-six tight end.

97 Justin Forsett RB | BAL Now there are running back committees and then there is what the hell is happening in Baltimore. The only RB clusterfuck worse than the Ravens is probably the Giants. In Baltimore, we have Justin Forsett, Javorious Allen, Terrance West and rookie Ken Dixon just to name a few.

120 Rams DST | LAR The Rams have a solid D, especially the front seven, but playing out west, they continue to have a tough schedule, having to face both Seattle and Arizona twice.

121 Matthew Stafford QB | DET This is what I’ll say about Stafford. After the Lions bye week in week nine, Stafford threw 19 touchdowns to just two interceptions.

144 Matt Jones RB | WAS (K) Jones is a solid breakout candidate (CBS’s words, not mine, but I agree). He had 794 total yards last year on just 163 touchdowns, proving to be a solid receiver out of the backfield. The Redskins felt so good about him, they led Alfred Morris walk. Yet, because there is always a yet, I can also see him busting bad. While he’s the starter in Washington, he’s been hurt all preseason and could miss week one. This leaves room for open for Chris Thompson or Keith Marshall to prove they deserve some time in the lineup.

145 Paul Perkins RB | NYG Here’s the argument for Perkins. The Giants offensive line is shit and the team has way too many running backs. I wouldn’t touch any of them, but if I had to have one, I would take the rookie. The rest, including Jennings, have proven they can’t do it, Perkins has yet to prove he can’t succeed.

168 Adam Vinatieri K | IND For the record, Vinatieri and I were born the same year. In his rookie season, Bob Dole was running for President. What am I trying to say? He’s old, but is he any good? It’s a fair question to ask, since only two kickers were off the board when Don picked. Well, the last two years, Vinatieri has been fantastic, hitting 55-of-58 field goals. Oddly enough, in his previous nine seasons, he hit 90% just once.

169 Tyler Boyd WR | CIN The rookie might earn a starting spot opposite of A.J. Green by default, as no one in Cincinnati has actually earned that right. The opportunity to be a sleeper is there, but we’ll have to wait and see if he has the talent to take advantage of it.

ROBIO MURRAY

2 Jamaal Charles RB | KC You never want your first round pick to be a guy coming off an ACL injury, but I decided to go with the player with the highest ceiling.

23 Greg Olsen TE | CAR I passed on Gronk and landed the second best tight end 21 picks later. I’ll take it.

26 Carlos Hyde RB | SF Question, how many players who finished the previous season on the IR can one team have? The answer: three. I got Charles, Nelson and now Hyde. The 49ers back is in good shape, in a run-friendly offense and the only back on the team worth discussing.

47 Jarvis Landry WR | MIA I’ve very excited about getting a 100-catch receiver in the fourth. Sadly, I failed to secure a backup running back, so Landry gets to sub in for both my backs and receivers.

50 Broncos DST | DEN Too early for a defense? Absolutely. However, I promised myself I was not going to ever think about my tight end spot and my defense again this year.

71 Allen Robinson WR | JAC (K) I need him to be everything everyone says he is going to be.  Scratch that, I need him to be even better.

74 Philip Rivers QB | SD I failed to get Brady, so decided to wait to get a arm. Success. Rivers is not an elite quarterback, but he’s not far off, running and offense that loves to pass and has plenty of weapons.

95 Kirk Cousins QB | WAS Back-to-back quarterbacks…sounds like a Neatock move. I’m actually pumped to have Cousins. He dominated in the final month of 2015 after the coaching staff finally started to let him air it out.

98 Charcandrick West RB | KC Handcuff…but apparently the wrong one.

119 Michael Crabtree WR | OAK I needed a backup wide receiver and that’s exactly what Crabtree. However, if I’m starting him for any long stretch, then I’m not going to be in a good mood.

122 Jordy Nelson WR | GB (K) Okay, this fucker took up a roster spot all last season…time to pay off.

143 DeAndre Washington RB | OAK I nice early season ACL by L. Murray would go a long way to helping me.

146 Jimmy Graham TE | SEA I already cut in. Man, this guy fell off the fantasy radar quickly.

167 Alfred Morris RB | DAL In reality, I never want Elliot to go down. In fantasy, it would be a leading.

170 Chandler Catanzaro K | ARI He’s a kicker. That’s all I got.

MOLLY COOMER

3 Eddie Lacy RB | GB Word on the street is he’s in shape and ready to roll. Good thing, too. When he was in good condition, with 1,500-yard seasons (rushing, receiving). In the high-powered Packers offense, Lacy should be even better.

22 Brandin Cooks WR | NO He had very quiet 83 catches for over 1,100 yards. That makes him a solid WR2. Molly needs him to continue to make that leap forward in season three.

27 Ben Roethlisberger QB | PIT This is a bad pick. It’s not that Big Ben is a bad fantasy quarterback, he’s actually pretty damn good. However, she already gas a top-10 quarterback she’s keeping deep in the draft. Sure you want to quarterbacks, but you don’t spend a third-round pick on player for a position you already have covered, especially when you have other needs. Bad decision.

46 Rashad Jennings RB | NYG Sorry, but I have six running backs who will outproduce Jennings (who will be lucky to be the starter by season’s end) that Molly could have drafted one round earlier instead of Roethlisberger.

51 T.Y. Hilton WR | IND (K) He’s been hobbled by a bad hammy throughout the preseason, but he remains a popular bounce back candidate.

70 Texans DST | HOU They’re a fine defense, but I have to believe she could have drafted them 2-3 rounds later. To think, Molly could have kept Jeremy Langford with this pick.

75 Austin Seferian-Jenkins TE | TB Another bad decision. Is he even the starter in Tampa anymore (isn’t it Cameron Brate). He played 56 snaps in the Bucs final preseason game. That’s not a good sign.

94 T.J. Yeldon RB | JAC A decent sleeper pick, since no one believe Chris Ivory will make it through the season.

99 Cameron Artis-Payne RB | CAR Back-to-back picks where Molly grabs the young backup to an aging veteran starter. However, unlike Yeldon one pick earlier, Artis-Payne probably won’t see much time of the field until Jonathan Stewart goes down.

118 Vincent Jackson WR | TB Really, how many shitty Buccaneers players does Molly want? His days of 1,000-yard seasons seems so long ago, but in reality he just did it in 2014.

123 Stefon Diggs WR | MIN Diggs had a nice rookie year, catching over 50 balls for over 700 yards, but with Sam Bradford suddenly the quarterback in Minnesota, I have no idea what this guy can do.

142 Derek Carr QB | OAK (K) Carr is a great keeper and Molly should have had more faith in him. In his second year, Carr nearly hit 4,000 yards, but had an impressive 32 touchdowns to just 12 interceptions. The +20 TD-to-interception ratio is the third best ever for a second season, behind just Dan Marino and Kurt Warner.

147 Phillip Dorsett WR | IND I love my former Canes, but not sure he’s going to see enough balls come his way. Something that’s not a problem for Molly I’m sure.

166 Zach Miller TE | CHI This is a better tight end pick. I’m not saying Miller is on his way to earning an All-Robio award, but he’s a decent tight end in a tight end friendly offense.

171 Graham Gano K | CAR Good kicker. Good times.

RICH CALDERON

4 A.J. Green WR | CIN Elliot was the only obvious choice in the top half of the first round, the rest were just guesses. Picking Green was the smart choice. WR simply know what we’re getting: 1,200 yards minimum and double digit touchdowns.

21 Le’Veon Bell RB | PIT (K) There is no reason to believe he won’t be his old self once he comes back. The fact is, the suspension is just an extra month of rest to recover from an ACL injury.

28 DeMarco Murray RB | TEN I was excited about Murray in Tennessee. Based on the upgrades to the offensive line, the Titans are committed to the run. The problem is, I don’t think Murray is the best running back on this team and Calderon failed to get him.

45 Doug Baldwin WR | SEA Listen, for a month last year, Baldwin was the best receiver in football. Was that the real deal or was that a fluke? Is Seattle really about to air it out?

52 Blake Bortles QB | JAC The elite quarterbacks we’re gone and plenty of teams still needed arms. Remaining were a long list of tier two guys, who seemed capable of continuing that leap forward.  Calderon went first and took Bortles. Makes sense, he got two 1,000-yard receivers and can run the ball.

69 Frank Gore RB | IND No pick is less sexier than Frank Gore, but here is why he is so good coming the bench…the man is never hurt and he nearly broke 1,000 yards last year despite no Andrew Luck and an offensive line that allows Gore to lead the league in contact behind the line of scrimmage.

76 DeAngelo Williams RB | PIT Calderon missed big not landing Murray’s handcuff. He wasn’t going to miss again. DeAngelo did a great job subbing for Bell last year.

93 Tyler Lockett WR | SEA Rich grabs both of the top receivers in Seattle. Common sense says one of them will lead the team in receptions.

100 Jordan Reed TE | WAS (K) Hey, another player I had last year that was eventually kept this year: a list that includes Reed, Freeman, Carr, Maclin and David Johnson. Anyhow, when healthy, Reed is Gronk. Mark it down.

117 Devontae Booker RB | DEN If Bob is going to snake Calderon’s handcuff, Rich is stealing Colby’s.

124 Kelvin Benjamin WR | CAR (K) Benjamin is sort of an unknown x-factor. While Rich’s Seattle duo may end up cancelling each other out, the question in Carolina is, can he remain Cam’s favorite target? I suspect he will be like Mike Evans last year..a slow start, but by the end of the season he”ll remind people why Rich kept him on his roster all of 2015.

141 Jerick McKinnon RB | MIN There goes Griff’s handcuff.

148 Tajae Sharpe WR | TEN My pick for best rookie receiver. However, I’m not sure he will ever be worthy of a start. Sharpe is a big play guy and will certainly have one of those “two catches for 80 yards and a score” type games, but it’s tough to see him being that consistent.

165 Giants DST | NYG They spent big, so they should be better.  Can Rich rely on them for every game this season? Probably not.

172 Blair Walsh K | MIN His value sure went down when Bridgewater nearly lost his leg.

JEFF GREENBLATT

6 LeSean McCoy RB | BUF I’m actually excited about McCoy this season and I wouldn’t surprise if Buffalo surpises a few folks and wins some games this year. I actually was split between takening McCoy or Charles and I still don’t feel confident I made the right decision. The beauty of McCoy is that the Bills are going to run the ball a ton, they’re going to run the read-option and with Karlos Williams cut, it’s hard to see who kicks McCoy off the field.

19 Jeremy Hill RB | CIN Last year CJ Anderson was a huge bust, but he was dealing with a handful of nagging injuries, so we can’t blame him for failing. Jeremy Hill had no excuse. His yards per carry went from 5.1 as a rookie to a pathetic 3.6 as a sophomore. The only thing that saved him was his 11 touchdowns, but scores are random and will make starting Hill a weekly challenge.

30 Melvin Gordon RB | SD While I don’t have a ton of faith that Hill will suddenly become a stud back, I actually have Gordon as a sleeper. The Chargers back struggled as a rookie. He averaged just 3.5 yards per carry and scored zero touchdowns (which is pretty amazing). Yet, can Gordon rebound and break the Wisconsin Badger jinx? I believe the Chargers want him to succeed and this preseason he has looked a lot better. Don’t be surprised if he’s starting ahead of Hill at some point this season.

43 Drew Brees QB | NO (K) This was a surprise keep by Jeff and whether it was a good keep or not will depend on Brees himself. For most of last year, he wasn’t good. In fact, he finished just 16th among quarterbacks through our regular season (13 games). Yet, he was so amazing in the NFL’s final four games, he finished fifth. If that final month was legit, then good for Jeff.

54 DeSean Jackson WR | WAS A smart pick. I suspect the Redskins are going to pass the ball a ton and DeSean remains Cousins favorite target, as long as he can stay on the field.

67 Willie Snead WR | NO In all honesty, we have a better shot at picking the winning lottery tickets than we do picking the best receiver each week in New Orleans.

78 Charles Sims RB | TB One of the best handcuffs in football, but Sims only becomes a true fantasy star if Doug Martin gets knocked off the field.

91 Cardinals DST | ARI One of the best defenses if they can remain healthy. In fact, they’ve been a top-10 defense four years in a row.

102 Delanie Walker TE | TEN (K) He was the top target in Tennessee last year and there is no reason to believe he won’t be it again, trying to do something only a handful of tight ends have done, which is produce back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons.

115 Will Fuller WR | HOU If you don’t believe that the Titans’ Sharpe will be the top receiver, then there is a good chance it will be this dude. Fuller has had an excellent preseason and should start opposite DeAndre Hopkins in Houston.

126 Markus Wheaton WR | PIT Wheaton took a step back last year, catching nine less balls, but for 104 more yards. While I haven’t seen him on a ton of sleeper lists, why not this guy? With Martavis Bryant suspended for the year, Big Ben is going to need another target other than Antonio Brown.

139 Stephen Gostkowski K | NE Wow. Jeff just stole Gostkowski from Eric. Cold, man. Colby.

150 Shane Vereen RB | NYG Giants running backs are nipples on men. We all have them, but they’re completely useless.

163 Hunter Henry TE | SD Who the fuck is this guy?

174 Jameis Winston QB | TB (K) I actually think this guy is about to become a top-10 quarterback. He had a solid 4,000 yards and 22 touchdowns, which is fantastic for a rookie arm. All he needs to do is reduce the interceptions down a bit (he had 15 last year) and produce more touchdowns.

RICHARD BURRIER

5 Rich B – Rob Gronkowski TE | NE I had this one in my mock draft since early April. No one would pass on a homer stud like Gronk.

20 Rich B – Russell Wilson QB | SEA Burrier is looking stacked, with four legit potential All-Robio players. When given the opportunity to put the pigskin in the air, Wilson put up numbers that would make Aaron Rodgers blush. Is Wilson about to make that Tom Brady like career turn from Superbowl QB to fantasy star?

29 Rich B – Latavius Murray RB | OAK Murray is the x-factor of this team. He’s a high volumn back in an offense with pop. In this system, a great back could be an All-Robio, but is Murray a great back? He started all season in 2015, never looked amazing and was one of the worst fourth quarter backs in the league. If he can hold off the rookie Washington, but right now it has the look and feel of a committee.

44 Rich B – Devonta Freeman RB | ATL (K) What doesn’t look like a committee is the Atlanta backfield. Last year Freeman earned first team All-Robio, but in reality 48% of his stats came in that amazing three-game stretch. In his final eight games, he broke 80 yards rushing once. The good news this season is the fact I haven’t seen anything Trevor Coleman does better, so Freeman should continue to get plenty of touches.

53 Rich B – Duke Johnson RB | CLE Here’s the deal…I got mad love for Duke, but unless Crowell gets hurt, this will remain a timeshare.

68 Rich B – Jay Ajayi RB | MIA He was the projected starter in Miami this Spring, but now he can’t even beat a back who runs like he has one leg tied behind his back.

77 Rich B – Allen Hurns WR | JAC A solid bench receiver, with potential to slide into a three-wide situation. He could be the next Eric  Decker and average about 80 catches, 1,000 yards and 8-10 scores.

92 Rich B – Marvin Jones WR | DET I love this pick. I think Marvin Jones has real breakout potential and I’m not the only one saying so.  Word is, he snags everything Matt Stafford throws at him. Don’t be surprised if he’s Detroit’s #1 receiver over Golden Tate.

101 Rich B – Tavon Austin WR | LAR I like Rama receivers about as much as I like cancer.

116 Rich B – James White RB | NE I’m not buying he’s going to be the Dion Lewis of 2016. Remember, this is the Patriots. Their leading rusher in week eight could be a guy currently working at your local Target. Still, with no Brady, you have to believe the opportunity will be there through four weeks.

135 Rich B – Steelers DST | PIT An old unit that can probably be used with the right matchup. Don’t be surprise if Burrier tries his hand at roto-D.

140 Rich B – Ryan Tannehill QB | MIA Nice late-round insurance policy. With a new coach with a little know-how, he’s good for 4,000 yards and 25 TDs at the very least.

149 Rich B – DeAndre Hopkins WR | HOU (K) 192 targets, 111 catches for 1,521 yards and eleven scores with Brian Hoyer, Ryan Mallett. T.J. Yates and Brandon Weeden throwing him the ball. Whatever money he is making, he should get paid more.

164 Rich B – Rishard Matthews WR | TEN He has some nice fantasy value in stretches in Miami last year. Can he be a #1 option in Tennessee? I doubt it but it’s not like there are a ton of great receiving options and someone other than Walker needs to catch a ball.

173 Rich B – Justin Tucker K | BAL He’s missed 18 field goals in his four-year career. Of course seven of those occurred last year.

ROB MASTERSON

7 Dez Bryant WR | DAL Rob was picking in a tough spot, as every pick above him in round one seemed like an obvious obvious choices, whereas Masterson had to be the first not-so-obvious decision. Dez Bryant is an elite wide receiver and with Romo behind center, I’d pick him ahead of AJ Green, but with Romo out again, we just don’t know what we are getting. Listen, if Andre Hopkins can earn a second team All-Robio award with the talentless hacks throwing the ball to him last year in Houston, then Dez should still manage to be a low end WR1 at worse.

18 Matt Forte RB | NYJ I’m curious if Rob ever wanted to draft Forte. Sure, he’s a homer like the rest of us, but historically he has avoided big name Jets. Anyhow, I had Forte on my “do not draft” list all summer. First, I’m a firm believer in never drafting the league leader in career touches. Second, I just felt like there were too many backs and not enough carries. However, I’ve warmed up to Forte, as it has become clearer that the Jets will use him as their feature back, so he’ll get plenty of touches.

31 Amari Cooper WR | OAK (K) You know, I actually read an article that predicted that Cooper would be a bust this season, which once again proved that crack is whack.  I predict Cooper will be even better this season (barring an injury from either him or Carr). In fact, I see Cooper earning a All-Robio award.

42 Tom Brady QB | NE Did Rob reach for a QB that will be suspended for four weeks? I can answer this one…no. I was planning on taking him in with my next pick.  More importantly, Rob will have to cheer for Tom Brady? That’s like Jeff rooting for Hitler.

55 John Brown WR | ARI So who is the best fantasy receiver in the desert? Early in the season last year it was Fitzgerald. Later it was Brown, but by season’s end, Brown was hurt, Floyd got healthy and Floyd became the fantasy darling.

66 LeGarrette Blount RB | NE Two Patriot players?  I don’t recognize this Rob Masterson.

79 Eli Manning QB | NYG The Giants offense has looked like Scandinavian prostitute after a night out with Griff, but we’re assuming it’s just preseason blues and they’ll wake up in week one. Rob is certainly hoping so, since Eli is his QB the first first weeks of the season.

90 Antonio Gates TE | SD Rob made the decision to wait and got the ageless wonder. I suspect he’ll be serviceable, although hard to imagine he stays healthy all year long.

103 Bilal Powell RB | NYJ Insurance policy.

114 Mark Ingram RB | NO (K) Obviously time will tell if Rob will regret keeping Ingram over Rawls, but he can sleep better knowing that he has a very safe, veteran backfield.

127 Michael Thomas WR | NO Every season there seems to be multiple sleeper options in New Orleans. I miss the good old days when you drafted Brees, Graham and Colston and moved on with your life.

138 Tim Hightower RB | NO Another Saint another handcuff. I have to believe this is the first time in league history one person used three straight picks on three players on the same team.

151 Jeremy Maclin WR | KC (K) A nice, if not spectacular keeper. If not kept, Maclin would easily be someone’s second starting wide receiver. Rob gets to use him as an insurance policy.

162 Vikings DST | MIN Solid, underrated, may be the best D in fantasy and cost Rob nothing in the fourteenth round. That’s what you call a value pick.

175 Chris Boswell K | PIT He hit 29 of 32 last year, but did miss one extra point. Fucking loser.

ERIC VOZZOLA

8 Antonio Brown WR | PIT (K) Is 2,000 yards asking too much?  Sadly for the rest of us, probably not.

17 Thomas Rawls RB | SEA Someone had to take the risk. After Lynch went down, Rawls went into his own beast mode, before breaking his ankle. If he played a full season like that, it’s scary to think of the stats he would have put up. Yet, why should we have any confidence in a guy when his own team doesn’t by drafting three running backs this past April? Worse yet, that same coaching staff has been raving about Christine Michaels like he’s the second coming of Christ. If Rawls isn’t healthy in week one and Michaels has himself a game, will Rawls ever be the starter?

32 Jeremy Langford RB | CHI Like Rawls one round earlier, Langford has a giant ceiling. If both these guys pan out, Eric is going to challenge for the championship mug. However, I’ve been cold on Langford all offseason. I was never impressed with him last year. Fact is, few were worse at yards after contact. Worse yet, he had John Fox, who has had a surprising few 1,000 yard rusher as he’s been a firm believer in the RB-by-committee. Having said that, none of the other backs have done anything this preseason and word is Langford will be a three-down back. 3.9 yards per carry ain’t so bad if you’re getting 20-25 touches per game.

41 Larry Fitzgerald WR | ARI Can he duplicate what he did last year? Doubtful, but Eric doesn’t need him to do that. All he needs is for Fitzgerald to be a nice fill-in when Sammy Watkins eventually gets hurt and misses three games.

56 Coby Fleener TE | NO Here’s yet another ceiling, but low floor player for Eric. Fleener moves down to New Orleans where Drew Bree’s loves those tight ends. Hell, he made 84-year-old Ben Watson a serviceable TE last year. Thus, it’s assumed a younger; more athletic guy can do better.  If true, we could be looking at a top-five TE. Of course, maybe Fleener never did anything in Indy because he simply isn’t that good. Ponder that.

65 Giovani Bernard RB | CIN Honestly, I think he’s the better back in Cincy. I’m just not sure if the coaching staff knows it. Anyhow, all offseason, experts have been asking which new receivers will catch all the balls caught by departed WRs? Well, why not Bernard?

80 Tyrod Taylor QB | BUF I love this pick. Eric smartly waited on a QB and landed a good one. I was deciding between Rivers and Taylor myself, deciding to go safe with Rivers. I might regret that. Taylor would have been a top-eight arm if he didn’t miss time last year. With a healthy Sammy Watkins, the sky is the limit.

89 Sterling Shepard WR | NYG Arguable the most talented rookie entering the league. Still, hard to be the next Beckham when you have Beckham on the other side of the field.

104 Chiefs DST | KC Solid D that can probably stay in Eric’s lineup no matter the opponent.

113 Sammy Watkins WR | BUF (K) Sadly, Watkins has been hurt three times since I began this post. Too bad, he could have been a top-10 wide receiver. I guess lifelong Dolphins fan Eric will be rooting for the Bills this year.

128 DeVante Parker WR | MIA (K) The Fins will probably toss the ball around a lot, especially since they couldn’t run the ball four yards, even if the defenses spotted them three of them. Yet, not sure Parker will even be the second best receiver on this team (that’s Stills this preseason), let alone the top target (Landry).

137 C.J. Prosise RB | SEA All summer, Prosise was a popular sleeper pick, but with the emergence of Michaels, hard to see him as anything more than third down back.

152 Theo Riddick RB | DET Someone has to catch the ball in Detroit.

161 Mason Crosby K | GB Someone has to kick the ball in Green Bay.

176 Sammie Coates WR | PIT The big question here is, which team will be keeping this guy next year, because history has taught us that it won’t be Eric.

MATT NEATOCK

9 Matt – Julio Jones WR | ATL (K) Every champion team needs an absolute, no questions asked superstar.  Julio is that guy. The scary part is he could give more. He had over 1,800 yards last year, but scored only eight times. A guy with his talent should be scoring 12-14 times per year.

16 Matt – Alshon Jeffery WR | CHI There is little reason why this guy can’t put up 80 catches and 1,200 yards per season, but sadly, he’s only done it once (three years ago). The problem? He can’t stay on the field. Last year he missed seven games, including the 2016 title game for Colby.

33 Matt – Demaryius Thomas WR | DEN Matt skipped out on a running back and rolled with the big name. Now when you see a three-headed monster that features Julio, Alshon and Demaryius, it certainly sounds scary, but let’s be real, we have no idea what Thomas is going to do this year. Last year he still managed to put up 1,300 yards (although that’s 300 less than the year before) and six touchdowns (five less than 2014) with no quarterback. Yet, the QB situation actually somehow got worse in Denver and we just don’t know. He’s the true X-factor.

40 Matt – Seahawks DST | SEA Neatock takes the first defense of the year. Too early? Maybe, especially since this unit didn’t really dominated last year and defensive scoring isn’t what it use to be. However, it’s unlikely Neatock will have to think too much about his D this year, so that’s nice.

57 Matt – Chris Ivory RB | JAC Sadly, this pick may end up proving historic. Because Ivory is going to have a fantastic year? No, don’t be silly. Because the next pick was Derrick Henry, the guy I suspect is going to be the next great back in this league.

64 Matt – Arian Foster RB | MIA Let’s give Matt some credit, age is just a thing to this guy. Foster has the opportunity in Miami, just not sure he has the ability anymore. Who knows, maybe this will be like Tomlinson in his first year with the Jets.

81 Matt – Ryan Mathews RB | PHI (K) Last year, Ryan Mathews averaged 5.1 yards per carry, but that’s never really been the problem, has it? He’s averaged over 4.3 per season every year, but one. The issue for him is health and his lack of. Only once in his six year career has Mathews not missed time, missing out on a total of 23 games in his career and has hit 1,200 just once.

88 Matt – Ameer Abdullah RB | DET Someone has to run the ball in Detroit. Of course, whomever it is, probably won’t be running very far.

105 Matt – Marcus Mariota QB | TEN Matt waited for a quarterback and then waited some more, which has always been a winning strategy in the past. This season…we’ll see. Mariota should be better in season two. I still believe he has a bright future in this league, but asking him to lead a fantasy team may be asking a lot.

112 Matt – Laquon Treadwell WR | MIN A deep sleeper maybe, but any quarterback situation that involves Sam Bradford, can’t be a good thing for a wide out who might not even start this year.

129 Matt – Andy Dalton QB | CIN Obviously, Matt had to grab another quarterback and this proved to be a nice grab. Seriously, why doesn’t Dalton get any love? Big Red finished fifth last year among fantasy quarterbacks, above Rivers, Wilson and Brees. Yeah, he doesn’t have the receivers he had last year, but he should still be a top-10 arm.

136 Matt – Zach Ertz TE | PHI (K) Last year Ertiz was good for over 100 targets and responded with 75 catches for over 800 yards. That’s the good news. Yet, this guy continues to disappear around the end zone. He had only two touchdowns last year and seven for his career. However, it probably won’t be a big issue in 2016. With the Eagles quarterback situation, I don’t see Ertz getting a lot of end zone opportunities.

153 Matt – Dorial Green-Beckham WR | PHI If you ask, can you have too many players from one team, Matt would answer no. I always loved this kid when he was in college. He’s just never been able to display his talent because he mentally can’t keep his head on straight.

160 Matt – Carson Wentz QB | PHI I mean, there’s homers and then there is Neatock.

177 Matt – Brandon McManus K | DEN What, you didn’t want Caleb Sturgis?

BOB CASTRONE 

10 Keenan Allen WR | SD I had him taking Dez in my mock, but Rob snagged him, which allowed Bob to land Allen. I love this pick. I still can’t believe Jeff didn’t keep this guy. Before getting hurt last year, the Chargers receiver had caught 75% of his passes thrown to him and was on pace for a stunning 134 catches and 1,550 yards. Philip Rivers loves this dude. He was targeted 13 times or more five times in eight games and it would have been six in nine since he had five targets in week eight before getting hurt in the second quarter.

15 Aaron Rodgers QB | GB So, do you think Russell Wilson’s final month of the 2015 season taught Bob the importance of an elite quarterback? Rodgers is an elite quarterback.

34 Randall Cobb WR | GB With Jordy Nelson gone last year, Cobb proved that he couldn’t produce the stats as Rodger’s top option. That’s life facing each opponent’s top corner. However, Nelson is back and Cobb is back as the second option, a spot he dominated in 2012 and 2014 (he was hurt in 2013) with 171 combined catches those two years.

39 Todd Gurley RB | LAR (K) Moving from St. Louis to Los Angeles oddly didn’t fix the Rams quarterback issues, so that could certainly be a problem when Gurley is facing a tough defense, but that was a problem last year and he still managed to win the ‘rookie of the year’ award.

58 Derrick Henry RB | TEN Bob wastes no time grabbing arguable the league’s best handcuff. Derrick Henry (right, towering over NFL running back, Mark Ingram) is a beast and would have been a first-round pick if the Titans didn’t also get DeMarco Murray. Yeah, he’s an Alabama back and they have certainly disappointed over the years, but this kid is the real deal. It’s just about opportunity now.

63 Christine Michael RB | SEA If Henry isn’t the best handcuff, then Christine Michael is. Eric could really regret not grabbing this guy before Bob could steal him away. The fact is, he may not be a handcuff at all. We have no idea how Thomas Rawls is doing with that ankle because he hasn’t played. Meanwhile, the Seahawks coaching staff have been raving about Michaels like a teenager who just had sex with Jessica Alba.

82 Corey Coleman WR | CLE With Lamar Miller headed back to the draft next year, Bob is clearly in search of next year’s great find. Coleman has an opportunity to shine in Cleveland with Josh Gordon suspended for four games, but so far, he hasn’t done much of anything. The fact is, I don’t have a lot of faith in this year’s rookie class. I’m sure someone will step up and be a fantasy worth back. I just don’t think this is the guy.

87 Devin Funchess WR | CAR Despite struggling last year as a rookie (never catching five balls or 50 yards in any game), word is Funchess is making noise in Carolina camp.

106 Lamar Miller RB | HOU (K) Want a prediction? Lamar Miller finishes third in touches this season, including 300+ carries for the first time in his career. Houston is going to make him earn his paycheck and that’s fantastic news for Bob, who has a three-down back who catches the ball out of the backfield and gets the goal line carries.

111 Tyler Eifert TE | CIN Listen, if healthy, this guy goes four rounds earlier and Bob’s squad is good enough where he can be patient, especially if he can be put on the IR, but it’s hard to see him coming back and suddenly be a top-six tight end.

130 Dak Prescott QB | DAL As a Cowboys fan…I feel good knowing Prescott is the quarterback with Tony Romo hurt. He’ll have his rookie hiccups, but he’s confident, unafraid to make a throw, he’s a smart game manager. Having said that, I don’t see him having any impact on the 2016 fantasy year.

135 Dwayne Allen TE | IND He has just 15 more catches than games missed over the last three years (36-21).

154 Travis Benjamin WR | SD Let me get this straight…he gets 966 yards last year in Cleveland, with awful arms throwing him the ball. Then he moves out west to San Diego, where he now has an elite quarterback throwing the ball, yet he last 12 rounds? Don’t get that one.

159 Bengals DST | CIN (K) Okay. Fine.

178 Dan Bailey K | DAL A Giants fan with two Cowboys on his roster. Does Bob have no soul?

COLBY HALL 

11 Brandon Marshall WR | NYJ Back-to-back 1,500-yard seasons seems unlikely. The fact is, I believe only two receivers have done that after the age of 30…Jerry Rice and Andre Johnson. Of course, he can miss that mark and still be a solid WR1 in this league.

14 C.J. Anderson RB | DEN I love this pick. I actually considered him briefly for the number two overall pick. Anderson had a rough 2015, or at least the early part of it, dealing with nagging injuries, but by season’s end he was healthy and showing what he can do. This year he’s healthy, he’s back on top of the depth chart and with the dumpster fire that is the Broncos quarterback situation, he should get 55 carries per game.

35 Jonathan Stewart RB | CAR Playing it safe, using a early pick to get running back depth. It’s a bit of a reach, but I’m cool with an unsexy 1,000 yards sitting on the bench. I’m sure Colby will offer him up for trade bait to at least six people by mid-September.

38 Travis Kelce TE | KC The TE friendly offensive coordinator is now coaching in Philadelphia, you know, the guy responsible for Kelce getting 188 targets the previous two seasons. Yet, Alex Smith is still tossing the ball around and he should continue to toss it to Kelce a ton. I expect him to remain a top-five tight end.

59 Doug Martin RB | TB (K) At first thought, you think Martin is in a timeshare, because I just remember seeing Sims on the field a ton. Yet, Martin got a solid 288 carries last year (107 for Sims) and he dominated with 1,400 yards. I see no reason for this to change, since it worked so well last year, as both Martin and Sims averaged a solid 4.9 yards per carry.

62 Eric Decker WR | NYJ The Jets number two receiver had 80 catches, 1,027 yards and 12 scores. While I think it’s a reach that he’ll get another dozen scores, Decker should be a solid receiver off Colby’s bench, especially with Fitz back and Marshall still occupying the best opponent’s corner each week.

83 Panthers DST | CAR No Josh Newman, no problem. If healthy, this unit remains one of the best in the league, but they’re already struggling to stay healthy and I’d be worried about a lack of depth.

86 Mike Evans WR | TB (K) Here’s another stud that I love on Colby’s squad. Eventually, Evans had a solid 2015, with over 74 catches and 1,206 yards (his TDs were down). He did all that despite the fact he led the league in drops and only caught half of his 147 targets, which means there is so much more room to improve. I think he hits 1,400 yards and 8-10 TDs this season, making him eligible for an All-Robio award.

107 Kevin White WR | CHI I don’t know a lot of about this kid, as he missed his entire rookie campaign due to injury. He was a big deal coming out of college, but so far in the preseason, he hasn’t exactly lit it up. In three preseason games, he failed to reach double digit yards.

110 Torrey Smith WR | SF I wouldn’t fuck any 49ers receiver with Colby’s dick.

131 Carson Palmer QB | ARI (K) Colby flirted with the idea of taking an elite quarterback early and then maybe a solid one in the middle rounds, but in the end, he’s riding or dying with Carson Palmer. The Cardinals quarterback is coming off a career year (4,600+ yards and 35 TDs). If healthy, why can’t he do it again? Right now, only Josh Brown is not 100% and with David Johnson in the backfield, Carson’s passing lanes will only be more open.

134 Julius Thomas TE | JAC A sneaky sleeper here. Everyone is high on the Jaguars offense. Hell, Blake Bortles went ahead of Philip Rivers. Thomas has the tools to be a great tight end. However, he needs to work on catching the damn ball. A tight end only catching 46 of 80 targets is a low percentage, since rarely is he trying to bring in a deep ball.

155 Tevin Coleman RB | ATL He has the tools, but the more I watch Coleman the less I like him.

158 Steven Hauschka K | SEA Hey, a kicker.

179 Jordan Howard RB | CHI I had this kid penciled in behind Henry as the rookie with the best chance to be a starter by season’s end, but after a lackluster preseason, all he’s done is turn Langford into a three-down workhorse, so Colby already cut him.

GRIFF COOMER 

12 Adrian Peterson RB | MIN (K) Losing Teddy Bridgewater for the season can only hurt Peterson’s production. The question is, how painful will it be?

13 Cam Newton QB | CAR Good strategy…don’t fuck around, there are plenty of wide receivers. Cam Newton gives Griff four MVP candidates. Four.

36 Donte Moncrief WR | IND He had 32 catches as a rookie, then 64 last year. I’m no Will Hunting, but that means he’s catching 96 balls this year, right?

37 Michael Floyd WR | ARI Griff skips on a WR in round two and still manages to deliver two starter worth hands in rounds three and four. This team is stacked and we still have lots of picks to go.

60 Isaiah Crowell RB | CLE Don’t count on much. He’s averaged 4.1 and 3.8 yards per carry and won’t sniff 200 carries with Hue Jackson calling the plays.

61 Josh Gordon WR | CLE Intriguing pick. For one season, he was the best receiver in football, catching 87 balls for 1,646 yards. That was in 2013. He’s played just five games in the last three years, including none the last two. Yet, he’s just 25. Nice grab.

84 Martellus Bennett TE | NE If he avoids stabbing, shooting and murdering anyone, I guess that’s a step up from Aaron Hernandez.

85 Jaguars DST | JAC It’s been over a decade since this defense was fantasy worthy. Yep, they drafted all defense this year and spent plenty of money to upgrade that side of the ball, but making the jump up from #24 might be asking a lot.

108 Chris Johnson RB | ARI It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to appreciate how important having the Cardinals running back handcuff is. although this Johnson is no David Johnson.

109 David Johnson RB | ARI (K) Last year’s top free agent pick up is this year’s top keeper.

132 Matt Ryan QB | ATL He’s had so much talent around him for so long, a list that includes Julio Jones, Roddy White, Devon Hester, Steven Jackson and Devonta Freeman, yet Ryan has never sniffed an All-Robio award, peaking at #6 in 2012.

133 Brandon LaFell WR | CIN How long can a player continue to get picked up and play despite doing nearly nothing? Seriously, I’m asking.

156 Buccaneers DST | TB A solid D with some favorable match ups early in the season, but not when our post-season rolls around.

157 Odell Beckham WR | NYG (K) How about this? Greatest category three player of all-time? In two seasons, he has 187 receptions, 2,756 yards and 25 touchdowns. We shall see. Matt kept Wes Welker as a Cat 3 keeper between 2007-2009. Welker had 346 receptions, 3,688 yards and 15 touchdowns. Beckham has already passed him in touchdowns and should pass him in yards by season’s end.

180 Roberto Aguayo K | TB Homer! Homer! Homer!

TEAM RANKING

Okay folks, discussing each and every player in the draft rewind can only say so much. What you want to know is where I’m ranking you. Well, it’s time. Here are my preseason ranking.

Griff, voted most likely to have truck nuts on his Toyota Corolla.

#1 WELCOME 2 FLA, ASSHOLES (GRIFF) Yep, the defending champ for the third straight season begins the year as the favorite. Boring, right? Don’t blame me. Griff is stacked with four players who will compete for first-team All-Robio: Cam Newton at the quarterback spot, both David Johnson and Adrian Peterson at the running back spots and of course Odell Beckham.

On top of that, Griff has two potential up-and-coming stars at wide receiver. Donte Moncrief gets the start, as he’s predicted by many to lead the Colts at the receiving spot (over T.Y. Hilton). If Andrew Luck stays upright, that means Moncrief could be a sneaky top-1o pair of hands. Second is Josh Gordon. He’s out four games, but if he can stay of the weed, he can come back and be a WR1. I’m not in love with the tight end spot, but I’ll survive with Bennett.

Barring injury, I project a 12-win season for Griff, as he has no bye-week issues. His trip up? Has to be Bob and the revenge factor. Look for Griff to become the league’s first team to start a season 10-0, before falling to White Priveledge in week eleven. He’ll get his revenge when he beats Bob for the 2016 championship.

Speaking of…

Bob, voted most likely to end up on Porntube.com

#2 WHITE PRIVELEDGE (BOB) If Griff is #1, then Bob is really #1B. Mr. Castrone is stacked for the third straight year and like Griff, he has four guys challenging for a first-team All-Robio award.

First up is Aaron Rodgers, who is my projected first-team All-Robio QB. Next, Bob has Lamar Miller in a new home and Todd Gurley not coming off an ACL injury. At wide receiver, Keenan Allen is ready to make the step up.

Randall Cobb proved that he wasn’t a #1 receiver last year, but with Nelson back in Green Bay, here’s hoping Cobb’s numbers return to their 2014-form. I’m not solid on Dwayne Allen at the tight end spot, but Tyler Eifert should be back by midseason. The Bengals could be a fifth All-Robio winner at the defensive spot.

On the bench, I think Bob is fine at the receiving spot. Benjamin should enjoy having Rivers throwing to him and Funchess will have a more enjoyable sophomore campaign, but if either starts for Bob, it will feel like a small step down. At running back, Bob went hunting for some handcuffs. Christine Michaels was an obvious grab. The Seahawks coaching staff molested him with their props this preseason and we simply have yet to see Thomas Rawls play. Yet, the man who could most likely pull off a David Johnson (2015) or Larry Johnson (2005) it has to be Derrick Henry. I can see both him and DeMarco Murray producing 1,000 yards this season, but if Murray goes down, Henry won’t give up that starting spot again.

Burrier, voted most likely to enjoy golden showers.

#3 THE HYPE IS REAL (RICH B) Yep, Burrier is real. He came in with a pair of solid keepers in DeAndre Hopkins and Devonta Freeman. Both should again challenge for an All-Robio award, but then Rich went ahead and had himself a strong draft. Taking Gronkowski in round one was a no-brainer for the loyal Patriots fan and I love the Russell Wilson pick (instead of reaching for a RB/WR).

Like both Bob and Griff above, this means Rich has four players who could end the season on the list of first-team All-Robio.

At the other RB/WR spots, Burrier landed Latavius Murray and Allen Hurns. Neither of these guys are going to turn into elite players, but both are very safe 1,000-yard guys. Murray’s 4.0 yards per carry left a lot to be desired, but he’s a high volume guy, who got over 300 touches last year. The question is, how much will rookie DeAndre Washington eat into those touches?

Hurns is one of just 21 receivers to pull in 1,000 yards last season, but only three of those had less targets than his 105. My point, if he can get a few more looks, there is no reason why he can’t be the next Reggie Wayne (when Marvin Harrison was in his prime).

Burrier could have some trouble if either Freeman or Murray get hurt or struggle though. Ajayi is a backup behind a poor offensive line, Duke Johnson is a third-down back in a non-PPR league. Jamal White is interesting, but you simply can’t predict what New England will do.

Still, so much talent on this team, it’s hard to see how Burrier doesn’t reach the semifinals. However, if he wants to jump up into the Griff/Bob tier, he’s going to need Murray to become a legit star by getting that yards per carry average up to the 4.5 range.

Colby, voted most likely to have the words “butt stuff” in his current Google search history.

4. QUARTER POUNDERS (COLBY) I’m going to start off with the receivers. Brandon Marshall and Mike Evans give Colby a pair of WR1s. Now we know what Marshall will do (1,300 yards max), but Evans has the chance to make a big leap forward in his third year. I suspect he’s going to get his catch percentage up (he only caught about half of his targets last year) and he should easily double his TD total.

At running back, I’ve already made it clear that C.J. Anderson is going to bounce back. I got further prove of this when the Broncos let Ronnie Hillman go this weekend. Anderson is healthy and set to get a ton of carries and just like Colby’s other back, Doug Martin, he knows how not to get tackled. In fact, Colby’s backs should lead the league in yards after contact.

At TE and DST, Colby showed patience and didn’t reach for one of the top guys, but he certainly didn’t let the next batch to get away from him. Both Kelce and the Panthers defense could finish the year among the top-five.

On the bench, Colby played it smart, getting a 1,000-yard back in Jonathan Stewart and 1,000-yard receiver Eric Decker. These guys aren’t going to deliver championships, but they’re the perfect guys to fill in for a game or two when help is needed on a bye-week or when someone gets hurt.

In the end though, it’s the quarterback spot that will make or break Colby’s season. Carson was an elite quarterback last year, putting up career numbers across the board. Yet, he turns 37 years old later this season. Can he continue to put up those numbers? I say yes, because he has so many weapons around him, plus…he did it when he was 36, what’s another year?

Eric, voted most likely to began a career as a furry.

5. JOHNNY HANCOCK (ERIC) No team is tougher to figure out than this one. With the exception of Antonio Brown, couldn’t we see every single other player on this team failing this year? Yet, I can see them all having amazing seasons. Let’s start at the most important spot…quarterback.

Tyrod Taylor was a career backup, before finally getting the start in Buffalo last year. He missed a couple games due to injury, but still hit 300+ seven times in 14 starts. Thing is, he did a lot of that with his legs and can make a giant leap forward as a quarterback (he only threw three 20 touchdowns last year for just over 3,000 yards).

At running back, neither Jeremy Langford nor Thomas Rawls began the year as a starter last year, but in limited opportunity, managed to put up some decent numbers. In both cases, the starter from last year is now gone and the starting job belongs to these guys. Yet, both have huge question marks.

Rawls was the real stud last year, averaging a stunning 5.7 yards per carry on 147 carries (scoring nine times). However, he broke his ankle last year and has been slow to recover, allowing others to show off their skills. Langford, as a starter in a couple games in 2015, put up a 364 and 484-point game. That’s impressive. Yet, he only averaged 3.6 yards per carry and according to stat nerds, no back was worse after contact.

Like Seattle, the Bears went and got a rookie to challenge Langford for his starting spot. Yet, heading into the season, all seems good for Eric. The Seahawks coaching staff has said that Rawls is their starter from day one (although they’ve recently thrown some shade on that) and in Chicago, no one has been able to make a move on Langford, so he’s looking like a solid three-down back.

At receiver, Eric could end up having the best of the bunch. He’s got the best in Antonio Brown. The other is Sammy Watkins. If he was healthy last year and played a full 16, he would have had 74 catches, 1,289 yards and around 11 touchdowns. That would make him a solid WR1. If he can stay on the field, Eric could have a pair of All-Robio receivers.

At tight end, he’s got Fleener. The former Colt is a very popular sleeper. Drew Brees has proven that he loves ditching the ball to his tight end. We know the career Jimmy Graham had in New Orleans and even 74-year-old Ben Coates had 74 catches. Still, the coaching staff hasn’t really been raving about Fleener and he has not been impressive in the preseason. Lastly, on defense, I’m loving the Chiefs grab. They’re a constant top-10 defense and they could end the year #1 overall among DST.

Here’s the deal…Eric has an entire roster of players, other than Antonio Brown and the Chiefs D, who have never cracked the top-10 at their respective position. Asking all of them to suddenly make that jump forward is asking a lot. Too much? Maybe, but I think he’ll be happy with some of the results. I see Eric returning back to the playoffs and pushing forward to the semifinals.

Rob, voted most likely to watch Bob in his Porntube.com video.

6. FONDLING IS MY FORTE (ROB M) Wow, could Masterson put together an older team? Tom Brady (39), Matt Forte (30), Antonio Gates (36) and on the bench we have Eli Manning (35) and Tony Romo (36). Let’s start off at the quarterback spot. Could you imagine a world where one team could have Brady, Eli and Romo all on one squad?

Brady is the obvious starter once he returns, but shouldn’t a 39-year-old quarterback, even one as handsome and successful as Brady, start to show a little wear and tear? At least Eli should be a solid starter for a month. The first three games are not against what I would call “elite” pass defenses.

At running back, Rob lacks the elite back. Both Mark Ingram and Matt Forte are 1,000 yard backs that will see the bulk of their teams carry on first and second down. For them, the key will be staying on the field, especially in goal line. They’re not rushing for 1,500 yards this year, so let’s see some scores.

At wide receiver, Masterson is stacked. Cooper is ready to join the elites and he has a pair of stud backups in Josh Brown and Jeremy Maclin. Yet, the x-factor is Dez Bryant. He’s healthy, which is the good news. However, Romo isn’t, that’s the bad news.

Masterson should once again produce a winning season and return to the playoffs. Whether he’s an elite team will come down to whether Brady is Brady and how Dez will preform without Romo.

Calderon, voted most likely to be banned from a Chucky Cheese.

7. THE DICK-TATERS (RICH C) There is a solid foundation here…Le’Veon Bell (DeAngelo Williams when Bell is suspected), A.J. Green and Jordan Reed (if healthy). That’s All-Robio talent where it counts. For Calderon though, he’s relying on other players to step it up.

First up, Bortles. The Jaguars quarterback is not some late-round pick that Rich hopes will be solid. He was taken ahead of plenty of big names and let’s be honest, Bortles stats from last year justify it. He had 4,400 yards and 35 touchdowns, not to mention 300+ yards rushing. He needs to get his interceptions down (18 last year led league) and stop ending up on the ground (he’s been sacked 106 times in two seasons).

DeMarco Murray once led Calderon to a championship. Last year, Murray led Don into a ditch. With a new home in Tennessee, Murray is a popular pick for a bounce back, but how much will Henry interfere? I firmly believe the rookie is the better back, but my guess is that the Titans will go with the hot hand.

Speaking of hot hand, Calderon snags both Seattle receivers that matter (Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett). Listen, in the final five weeks of last season, Baldwin was the best receiver in football. Yet, few believed he was suddenly elite receiver as he lasted to the end of the fourth round. Yet, WR2 is where Calderon is deep.

He’s got Kelvin Benjamin back from injury. As a rookie, he caught a solid 73 balls for 1,008 yards. Plus, he has Tajae Sharpe. While Fuller should be a solid rookie down in Houston, my money for best rookie WR is Sharpe. The fact is, I’m just not a believer in any other receiver on the Titans. Also on Rich’s benches is a solid backup back (Frank Gore), plus a pair of other folks’ handcuffs (Booker & McKinnon).

Robio, voted most likely to masturbate during the draft.

8. THE GLORY HOLES (ROBIO) I enter 2016 with the all-injured team. Jamaal Charles is already slow coming back from his ACL injury last year. Carlos Hyde, who is coming back from a leg injury, is dealing with a concussion. Jordy Nelson is a long way from his own ACL injury, yet he has not seen the field. All three, if healthy, are solid players with elite potential. However, the last thing I can really afford is a rough start.

Right now, Allen Robinson, Greg Olsen and the Broncos DST are my All-Robio candidates. Not a bad trio and I’m thankful I won’t have to put too much thought into my TE and DST spots this season.

Of course, my x-factor is the quarterback spot. I grabbed Philip Rivers and Kirk Cousins. Rivers is my safe bet. He passed for nearly 4,800 yards last year and 29 scores. He needs to stay off his back (40 sacks last year) and produce more touchdowns, which hopefully can happen. He’s got Allen back and added Travis Benjamin.

Yet, Cousins is the one I’m gambling on. With the right matchup, Cousins should be a solid start. He had three 400-point games and one 500-point effort last year. Would I start him against a top-five defense? No, but Washington has very favorable schedule.

Matt, voted most likely to become a meth addict.

9. ROCK OUT WITH YOUR TOCK OUT (UNTIL IT ERTZ) First, nice job on the original team name. Second, not loving this team. I spot two stars, Julio Jones and the Seahawks DST. Both are legit All-Robio contenders.

Matt decided to go three-wide right off the bat. Along with Jones, he got big name hands, Alshon Jeffery and Demaryius Thomas. Jeffery has the goods, but this is a guy you can’t count on being on the field for a full 16. When healthy, he’s solid, but it’s probably asking too much for him to repeat 2013 (1,421 yards).

With Thomas, Matt has a guy who has produced four straight 1,300 yard seasons. I think that stops this season when he delivers 1,200 yards and less than 10 scores. At tight end, Matt is raving about Zach Ertz, who had a good preseason, but the Eagles are starting a rookie quarterback and that doesn’t sound like All-Robio type noise to me.

At running back, Matt actually has four starting running backs, but let’s be honest, of the 22 starting backs on other teams for week one, would anyone trade one of their backs for one of Matt’s? I might, just because of health issues, but that’s it.

Abdullah did nothing last year and the Lions did little to upgrade their offensive line woes. Chris Ivory is now in Jacksonville and is expected to share the load with Yeldon. Arian Foster was just declared the starter in Miami, but I’m not sure that means much. The Fins running game has been awful during the preseason. This leaves Ryan Mathews. When healthy, he’s a good fantasy back, but he is this generation’s Fred Taylor, without that one great year Taylor had that made each of us keep drafting him.

I hate to pick against Matt, but this is a tough roster. Outside Jones, I think his receivers/tight end will be inconsistent at best, the running backs are the league’s worst and I just don’t buy that Mariota is ready to be a starting quarterback in fantasy. He’ll beat me in week one because of my injury woes, but Matt will have to fight for a playoff spot.

Don, voted most likely to get jiggy with it.

10. TWO (DON)

Don made a great first pick (Elliot) and got some real talent with Andrew Luck, but nothing about the rest of the roster screams playoff material. Matt Jones is the starter in Washington, right? I think the answer is yes, but a guy who averaged just 3.4 yards per carry as a rookie is not practicing because of a shoulder injury. That’s not good.

On the bench, Justin Forsett is the starter in Baltimore (I think) and Danny Woodhead will get plenty of catches, but neither of these guys are finishing near the top-10.

Julian Edelman, he seems to be the only guy Tom Brady throws to, but he’s hit 1,000 yards just once in his career. Emmanuel Sanders had the least amount of targets by a receiver with over 1,000 yards last year, but the quarterback situation in Denver won’t allow that to happen again. Golden Tate could be a true WR1, but we haven’t heard a lot of positive things coming out of camp this summer.

Jeff, voted most likely to vote for Trump.

11. THROW THE BALL TO LUCAS (JEFF) There is very little to like about this squad. Jeff may have the worst set of receivers in the league. Neither is a WR1 and I’m not confident either DeSean Jackson or Willie Snead will finish among the top-20 this year.

His running backs aren’t as tragic. I actually like McCoy and nearly considered taking him with the second pick, but I have little faith in Jeremy Hill to escape the committee in Cincinnati. The quarterback spot (Brees/Winston), tight end (Walker) and defense (Cardinals) are in good shape, but it’s tough to win with few RB/WR worth bragging about.

Molly, voted most likely to have a tattoo of Bob on her ass.

12. MOLLIPOP (MOLLY) The talent I like. Obviously, I’m into Eddie Lacy and her receivers may be pretty damn good as both Hilton and Cooks are legit WR1s on their respected teams.

At QB, she has plenty of points, but taking Big Ben was such a waste when she had Derrick Care. My point..Molly’s third round is already on the bench. She’s stuck starting a Giants back (which is never a good thing), doesn’t have anything on his bench that can come in and produce and she’s screwed at the tight end spot for now.
