OK, i am going to tackle each division in respect to fantasy football and will pick a sleeper, a bust, and a guy that used to play for them that they wished they still had, for real and for fantasy purposes. So here is the preview for the AFC East:
Buffalo Bills: Chances are that there have been no more than 2 Bill's drafted in your league since the 90's. Part of this is due to the fact they have sucked, and the other part is because people are making a stand because somewhere in their past they really hated a guy named Bill. Anyways this year may be different as there are 3, maybe 4 viable candidates to be drafted:
Sleeper: JP Losman. He is flying under the radar but he finish up last season with some pretty good stats. And the record for people with Initials for first name has been pretty successful if you think of AJ Foyt, umm....MA donna?
Bust: Peerless Price. There has never been a successful fantasy player named after a faucet company. Also the fact that he has changed his name to Catchless Price might make you want to stay away from him at draft time.
Former Player: OJ Simpson. Yeah didn't include him in the successful names because he hasn't been able to find the actual killer of his former wife and boyfriend. But on the field he had a killer instinct, was able to stab defenses through the heart with some of his moves, could cut you on a dime and shoot through a hole in the offensive line like an Uzi.
Miami Dolphins: Kinda in a down phase fantasy wise, but i am sure Nick Saban can turn them around. Oh wait, he screwed over the franchise for Alabama. Wait, this just in, he quit Alabama to take a job with The Team that will offer me the most money no matter the circumstances, that's right the Yankees.
Sleeper: Ted Ginn Jr. This is only because they took him over Brandy Quinn, the next Joe Montana or America Next Top Model, depending on the media sources.
Bust: Any QB not named Marino or Griese. These guys couldn't hit the broad side of Warren Sapp's ass.
Former Player: Ricky Williams. He was a really good guy to keep the atmosphere in the club house laid back with his brownies. Though the offensive line reported gained 300 lbs collectively due to the Munchies.
New England Whiniots: More than likely all of the fans will complain that they are 3rd on the list (even though it is done alphabetically) because they feel disrespected.
Sleeper: Wes Welker. Not because of his pass catching ability but because he gets the chance to be Tom Brady's wingman and bang all of his leftovers.
Bust: Easy one...Randy Moss. Any play that isn't called "Throw the ball to Randy Moss" he will take off. Even if it is a Reverse.
Former Player: Robert Edwards. Probably the next Walter Payton (this according to New England fans, who also claimed that Kevin Faulk and Reche Caldwell would be the next Payton) who broke his leg chasing models on the beach.
New York Jets: The main question is will Chandy Pennington be able to pick up chicks wearing an ugly green uniform.
Sleeper: Leon Washington. With Thomas Jones injury this guy has a chance to keep up the Jets tradition of running backs that average 2.3 yards per carry, ala Curtis Martin. Plus seriously, how cool would it be to have someone named Leon on your team.
Bust: Chandy Pennington. Pretty boys don't make it as QB. Just look at dorky Peyton, he couldn't pick up a chick at a Kenny Chesney concert (though he could pick up the singer) and he is successful.
Former Player: Joe Nameth. Now this would be a good choice at QB for the Jets. As long as his offensive lineman aren't offended by him saying "I would like to kiss you right now" in the huddle.
Alright, that is the AFC East preview, next up the AFC North.
