McCoy remains a top running back in 2014 coming
off of 314 touches and over 2,000 combined
rushing and receiving yards.

only adds to his fantasy stock.
4. Matt Forte, Chicago Bears
Averaging over 1,000 rush yards per year in his
past six seasons, and being a key player in the Charmaine Glock, WAG of Marshall Lynch

his past two seasons.

three years in the NFL, is incredibly impressive, and
there’s no reason to believe 2014 will be any
different.

Graham was targeted a whopping 136 times last
season. He caught 63 percent of the passes thrown
his way, putting up over 1,200 yards and 16
touchdowns.
2. Julius Thomas, Denver Broncos
Thomas was most definitely a product of Peyton
Manning last season. He put up highs in catches

Decker out of the mix, Thomas should see an
increase in targets.

Defense Rankings 2014
1. Seattle Seahawks
This is a no-brainer. Seattle gave up an average of
just 14.4 points per game last season.
2. Carolina Panthers
The Panthers have two elite defensive ends in
Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson who combined
for 26 sacks in 2013.
3. San Francisco 49ers
Their value depends on the outcome of Aldon
Smith situation. They allowed the third-fewest
points in the NFL last season, but ranked in the
bottom half of the league in sacks.
4. Denver Broncos
WIth Von Miller back in the mix and the addition of
DeMarcus Ware, Denver's defense is going to be a
major threat. They immediately become one of the
best pass-rushing tandems in the league.
5. Cincinnati Bengals
They put up the 10th-most sacks in the NFL and
ranked fifth in scoring defense last season. This
came despite Geno Atkins injury. The addition of
Darqueze Dennard will also help Cincinnati's pass
defense.
6. Arizona Cardinals
The losses of Dansby and Washington indicates
that Arizona might take a step back in defense.
Also John Abraham is getting older. Arizona still
boasts one of the top secondaries in the game. Erin Heatherton, WAG of Jordan Cameron
