2013 Fantasy Preview: Houston Texans
from J.D. Redemann (@JR_TopTeam)
"While I was doing a cursory Youtube search the other day for “NFL Defense Highlights”, I came upon this absolute gem of a video, entitled “Houston Texans — Bulls on Parade“. The best moment in that video and most telling about the churning, chugging motor of the team comes at the 3:21 mark, where former DE Connor Barwin completely surprises Jags QB Blaine Gabbert and quite literally hunts him down all the way across the field. For you Rage Against the Machine fans, you’ll obviously recognize the backing music here, but for anyone (regardless of music preferences) it is easy to see how this is the most fitting moniker possible for the Texans’ smash-mouth, hard-nosed style of play. With the versatile and destructive production of DE J.J. Watt on the defensive side of the ball and the grinding offense spearheaded by RB Arian Foster, they seem like they’d be more at home squaring off against the 1950′s Packers in the ice and mud at Lambeau Field (thank goodness they weren’t) than in today’s pass-happy, ball-hawking league.
This is not a detriment to their production, however, as this team finished in the top-10 in the league in total yards and total points both on offense and defense. It certainly helps that they are not a one-dimensional franchise, and can still pass the ball with above-average QB Matt Schaub and elite (though oft-injured) WR Andre Johnson. This is the youngest team in the league, but one that is leaps and bounds beyond the laughable franchise they were with QB David Carr at the helm at their inception, and now they are one of the front-runners annually to contest for their first appearance in the Super Bowl. So, can this two-way juggernaut of a team be a good place to turn for fantasy value again in 2013, or will injury and age finally grind them down? Let’s find out…"

2013 Fantasy Preview: Jacksonville Jaguars
from John Doylemason (@BerkeleyRaven)
"The Jacksonville Jaguars of yesteryear were the laughingstock of the league and, well… not much has seriously changed. The two biggest problems on the team, their poor pass rush and terrible QB play, have not really been addressed. However, even though QB Blaine Gabbert remains under center, there are a few bright spots on the horizon: the addition of 2nd overall pick OT Luke Joeckel will provide a much-needed anchor for the offensive line for years to come. Talent at the playmaking positions is beginning to form around young WR’s Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts, but those stars’ brightness are at the whim of questionable quarterbacking. If Maurice Jones-Drew comes back fully healed and in shape (which our injury expert Nick Weimer believes he will), he has a Comeback Player of the Year award in his future, so definitely give him a look during camp and the preseason. After him, the few remaining useful players will probably only provide depth for your fantasy rosters."

2013 Fantasy Preview: Tennessee Titans
from J.D. Redemann (@JR_TopTeam)
"Well, Graceland resides in Memphis, while the Tennessee Titans hail from Nashville. Yet, the words of Paul Simon still ring true to the team’s rebuilding efforts after a season that saw them plummet from a near-postseason 9-7 to a disappointing 6-10 final record. In the wake of such a disappointing outcome, it’s fairly clear that any and all of the league’s “ghosts and empties”, players left for dead in free agency by their former teams, would certainly have received open arms in Tennessee. Fortunately, the team was able to find much more than a pile of rejected players or an “Island of Misfit Toys” to help buoy their playoff hopes for this season. A strong draft and solid free agent signing class should do wonders for the Titans’ final line in 2013-14. But will they provide enough protection to keep young QB Jake Locker on the field? Will there be enough depth to insure against one injury to RB Chris Johnson or WR Kenny Britt toppling this offense’s high-end potential? Let’s find out…"
