POWER RANKINGS: #10 Andrew Hatfield

Starters

QB Michael Vick

After a disappointing encore to his other worldly fantasy season in 2010, what's in store for Vick in 2012? Thinking strictly in terms of 2012 I'd have him firmly in the top 6 with outside potential to be the top overall scorer.

Future Outlook: Vick at the age of 32 has his dynasty prospects dwindling. A player that makes a lot of his living off his legs in a way less unstable situation in Philly than people realize (A non contending season could see the end of Andy Reid) getting older is basically playing year to year at this point. Vick probably has 1-2 potential big seasons before falling to a more top 16 middling ground like he was in Atlanta for 2-3 seasons.

HB1 Maurice Jones-Drew
HB2 Kevin Smith

MJD is currently flirting with the idea of holding out but I'm pretty sure he'll be with the Jaguars at least by mid training camp. Jones-Drew should have another season of being the focal point of the Jag's offense which should produce HB1 numbers and be top 10 another year. Kevin Smith is just a garbage back to have as your number 2 and shouldn't be anything more than a HB4 on a competitive team.

Future Outlook: MJD is 27 and getting close to the drop off age for runningbacks. He's also had to flat out just carry an offense for a few years. As sad as it is to say MJD really only has 1-2 seasons left of HB1 potential. Normally the fall for runningbacks is quick and swift and I'm sure MJD's will be the same. Kevin Smith will be even worse in the future than he is now.

Flex WR Pierre Garcon

Garcon is looking likely to be the Skins #1 receiver in 2012, that's the only good news. With a rookie quarterback he won't be a great flex play but he is decent enough.

Future Outlook: Garcon is only 25 and if given the real opportunity to grow as RG3's top receiver, Garcon could morph into a pretty nice flex option. I still don't think he has a WR1 skill set.

WR1 Roddy White
WR2 Reggie Wayne
Roddy is still a low end WR1 but he is going to lose more and more targets to Julio Jones. While Reggie Wayne is officially on the decline of his career and paired with a rookie QB which spells low end WR2 numbers for 2012.

Future Outlook: Roddy is on the wrong side of 30 and should be relegated to the 2nd option in the Atlanta offense if he hasn't been already. He'll probably be a nice WR2 in the following years but his days as a strong WR1 option may be ending soon. Wayne probably has a handful of years left as a WR3 before he retires.

TE1 Jermichael Finley

Finley should be a top 3 option at tight end behind Gronk and Graham obviously. In that high octane Green Bay offense he has unlimited upside, the only negative is there may not be enough targets to go around.

Future Outlook: As I said previously Finley is a top 3 option and I believe that for the future as well. This is one position this team is rock solid at for now and the future.

BENCH WR Robert Meachem, WR Stephen Hill

Not a great bench of producers or high upside guys. Meachem has a chance to be a high end WR2 with Rivers throwing him the ball and Stephen Hill has the measurables but not great hands and a mess at QB. Titus Young has WR2 at most upside while Quick doesn't really have WR1 potential.

Team 2012 Outlook: This team isn't in horrible shape for 2012 but Vick, MJD, and Roddy are not a good enough trio to be a real competitor for 2012.

Future Outlook: Currently it's not looking good. With Vick, MJD, and Roddy at the tail end of their careers or getting there he's about to have 3 huge holes to fill and will have to hit right on his first round draft picks the next 3 years to build a contender. I might would recommend shipping off these three players in exchange for young potential players and/or picks to contending teams and start the rebuild. While Andrew definitely can't be blamed for the shape this team is in since he didn't draft it, he's still gonna have to try to find a way to build this team into a contender.

POWER RANKINGS: #11 Miami Sharks

Starters

QB Sam Bradford

After finishing 32nd in fantasy points in 2011 with some downright atrocious performances, 2012 is looking like a make or break year for Bradford. While I expect him to rebound, with the lack of weapons there is no reason to expect Bradford to be a strong enough quarterback for the Sharks to contend in 2012. Weak quarterback play is one of the hardest things to cover up in the modern fantasy era with the elite QB's starting to separate themselves from the pack considerably.

Future Outlook: I still believe in Bradford's potential and think he could be a future QB1 if any of St. Louis' young receivers can step up or if they acquire a big time receiver for him. If he is able to figure out he should be able to become a QB1 as early as 2013 but there's a chance he may be headed the way of a bust. I'd put it at 50/50 as far Bradford being the long term answer at quarterback for the Sharks.

HB1 Demarco Murray
HB2 Jonathan Stewart

Demarco Murray in my opinion is a top 7 back for the 2012 season in that explosive Dallas offense. As for the halfback 2 slot on the Sharks for this upcoming season it should be a little weak with JStew in a timeshare with Williams.

Future Outlook: I think there are multiple potential HB1's currently on the Sharks' roster. Demarco Murray is rock solid, Jonathan Stewart will most likely end up as the featured back somewhere in 2013 and finally reach his promise, while Ben Tate has shown when given the opportunity he can be a top 10 fantasy back, and Kendall Hunter while he may have to wait a little bit longer has a similar running style to Ray Rice .

Flex WR Julio Jones

Most of the rankings you can find on the internet have Julio as a top 10 wide receiver for this season. With Atlanta going more towards a pass first offense and Julio entering his 2nd season I think the sky's the limit and he makes for a great flex play.

Future Outlook: I have Julio only behind Megatron and AJ Green as dynasty receivers and think he will eventually be a top 3 receiver year in and year out.

WR1 Calvin Johnson
WR2 AJ Green

Megatron will continue to be the undisputed #1 fantasy receiver, enough said. AJ Green will be even better than last season but I expect Andy Dalton to take a step back which may bring Green's stats down a bit into top 15 #'s but still an excellent #1 and #2 receiver combo.

Future Outlook: I don't think you can do any better at receiver in dynasty than having the 3 the Sharks currently have rostered. Megatron, AJG, and Julio should be 3 of the top 5 receivers year after year after year.

TE Jared Cook Jr.

While I think Cook has the potential for a break out year I'll admit it's far from a sure thing. He could bust out into the top 8 tight ends this year or fail to make the top 15. One thing I am sure about is he can play this game.

Future Outlook: While I love Cook's skill set and think he's destined to be a TE1 he's one of the few Sharks in the starting line up that have their future starting slots as far from a sure thing.

BENCH HB Ben Tate, HB Kendall Hunter

I already stated how much I love these two runners for the future but for 2012 I only like one of them. Tate is capable of posting 100 yards even in games when Foster plays which makes him a pretty nice HB3. Hunter is in the ultimate time share for 2012. Emmanuel Sanders could be a producer this season but the rest of the bench is filled with potential guys and not 2012 producers.

Future Outlook: Both have the potential to be HB1's it'll all come down to talent meeting the right situation. There are a ton of players with potential on the Shark's bench outside of Tate and Hunter but none more so than Ladarius Green. I expect Ladarius to challenge Cook to be my tight end of the future.

Team 2012 Outlook: The Sharks will be held back by their QB and TE play in 2012 and while the rest of the line up should be solid the uninspiring QB and TE play should be enough to have the Sharks competing for the #1 overall spot..in the 2013 draft.

Future Outlook: While this comes with a little bias I think this team has the potential to be an absolute juggernaut in the near future especially if I'm able to lock down 2 more solid potential players in the 2013 draft. It's gonna be all about finding longterm answers at QB and TE, if those are found the rest of the roster should be championship caliber for quite a while.

POWER RANKINGS: #12 Silverbacks

Starters

QB Robert Griffin III

His quarterback play for 2012 is probably not going to be good enough to be a strong contender. Griffin isn't going to put up Cam like stats in his first year and will be lucky to finish in the top 15 as a rookie with his supporting cast.

Future Outlook: Griffin III has the potential to turn into a rock solid QB1 in the next 2-3 years I could see him finishing in the top 10 of QB's most of his fantasy career probably a fringe top 7 guy.

HB1 Ryan Mathews
HB2 Beanie Wells

Ryan Mathews is a #1 running back and arguably the franchise player of the Silverbacks. I'd say he's arguably a top 5 back for 2012. Beanie is a good #2 back but comes with some injury concerns and a healthy Ryan Williams this year.

Future Outlook: Mathews is going to be a superstar back for the next 3-4 years or so. If Beanie's knees can hold up this will be a solid one-two punch for the Silverbacks.

FLEX WR Michael Crabtree

Crabtree is a decent flex option but he's in a suddenly crowded receiving corp which should limit his upside for 2012.

Future Outlook: I think Crabtree has future upside of being a middle of the pack WR2 option but will most likely settle as a WR3 for much of his career.

WR1 Demaryius Thomas
WR2 Torrey Smith

Thomas with Peyton getting him the ball has a chance to crack the top 15 while Torrey Smith should be on the fringe of top 20 with the potential to be a bit better. Not a bad receiver combo but lacks a dominant WR1.

Future Outlook: Thomas has the skills and the ability to be a future number one widereceiver far from guaranteed but the potential is there for the Silverbacks. While Torrey Smith should grow into a top 15 option which for the future should be a good duo of wide receivers if Thomas reaches his potential.

TE Jimmy Graham

In my opinion I like Graham even more than Gronkowski and as long as Brees plays I think he'll be the clear top tight end option for 2012.

Future Outlook: Graham only 25 should be in the running for the top tight end for the next 5 seasons or so. Can't do any better at the position.

BENCH DeAngelo Williams, Mike Williams,

DeAngelo and Mike Williams highlight a pretty weak bench on the Silverbacks. DWILL should be a decent flex option for this year but there's little to no chance he'll ever return to being a top tier fantasy back. Mike Williams has a chance for a small bounce back with VJAX in town but I just think he's not really that talented.

Future Outlook: This is overall a weak bench with not too many good potential players on it. Ridley may have a shot to be a nice HB3 for the Silverbacks in the near future.

Team 2012 Outlook: This team could surprise and be pretty competitive with the #1 tight end Jimmy Graham and a top 5 half back in Ryan Mathews. The supporting cast holds it back from being a true contender this year with a rookie quarterback and a middling receiving corp of potential top 15 options. All in all it shouldn't be a bad 2012 I mean this team has a pair of stars that any team in the league would want. I've seen teams worse than this make the playoffs but for right now I think they'll be in contention for holding the top rookie pick in 2013.

Team Future Outlook: The future has the potential to be very bright for the Silverbacks. They already have a great big three with RG3 who will be a future QB1, Ryan Mathews who is currently a HB1 and will retain being a top tier option for another 3 years or so, and TE1 Jimmy Graham, enough said. Thomas has the potential to be a WR1. With the right moves this team could eventually be a top caliber team and capture some titles in the future.
