Eagle Renaissance: 2013 Chip Kelly-Philadelphia Eagles Outlook
from Scott Lynge (@ScottLynge)

"At one time the thought of having to change anything Andy Reid did in Philadelphia was unimaginable. Andy Reid was the Philadelphia Eagles. But that was then, and this is now, and whether they wanted it or not, change is upon them.

Chip Kelly, the former University of Oregon head coach, has now taken residence in Philly, bringing not only his innovative and successful offensive system, but what is surely to be a change of culture.

As always, change brings questions, and there have been many. Some believe the up tempo read option offense he used at Oregon may not translate to the next level because NFL defenses have seen this before, and are, simply, more sophisticated."

2013 Fantasy Preview: Cleveland Browns
from Russell Shaffer (@RussellShaffer)

"Once upon a time Cleveland Municipal Stadium – the former home of the Browns and Indians – was infamously referred to as the Mistake by the Lake. I spent many summer days at that cavernous pit, and I can honestly say it really didn’t have any redeeming qualities. Numerous times my parents and I would arrive to find at least one of our ticketed seats completely obstructed by a steel girder while every visit to the stadium’s dark and dreary concourses welcomed you with the tantalizing aromas of stale beer, urine and other foul odors.

The only thing the stadium had going for it was oftentimes the teams on the field were more hapless than the facility itself. Which recently brought me to wonder – was the Mistake by the Lake a moniker for Municipal Stadium or the entire Browns franchise?"

2013 Fantasy Preview: Cincinnati Bengals
from J.D. Redemann (@JayArr_TopTeam)

"The 2012-13 NFL playoffs marked an historic moment for the Bengals, but perhaps for the wrong reasons: for the first time ever in NFL history, the two same teams squared off in back-to-back years in the AFC Wild Card Round and replicated the previous year’s result. Unfortunately for the Cincinnati fans, that meant suffering back-to-back playoff heartbreaks at the hands of the Houston Texans; in the most recent edition, the Bengals were held to just 207 total offensive yards and no first downs. The relative success of obtaining a playoff berth in consecutive seasons for the first time in 30 years has become overshadowed by questions about both the team’s raw inexperience and one-dimensionality.

Third-year wideout A.J. Green is clearly a monster on the field and in the fantasy box scores, but who is towing the line with him in the receiving game? For that matter, is his intelligent but short-armed quarterback, Andy Dalton, physically able to maximize the weapons available to him? At times it seemed like the Bengals were poaching plays straight from the Detroit Lions’ playbook: play-action, throw it high to your best receiver, rinse, repeat. They also brought in big bruiser-style running back last year in BenJarvus Green-Ellis, “The Law Firm”, to upgrade a horrendous running game, but Green-Ellis was barely able to do more than fall forward and hope for the best, and even then he fumbled for the first time in his NFL career (and then liked it so much he did some more). There’s clearly potential for the Bengals in real life, but they have to step it up. And what about for your fantasy teams? Let’s find out…"
