All in All,

5 Trades occurred in Round 1. The exciting free agency start and combination of off-season trades led to Multiple Quarterbacks being thrown into the Fantasy mix for the 2016 season. Let the Quarterback Ranking’s Conversation Begin.

It’s April. Will Jared Goff out compete Nick Foles and Case Keenum?

 

-The Rams should start Goff regardless come game 1. Justify it with the move back to L.A. and being the #1 Overall Pick. Let a horrendous rookie fantasy football season begin.

-The Philadelphia Eagles are Flying high on Carson Wentz. Why Bradford? Why? After years and years of inconsistency at the helm and never leading a team to the playoffs. Competition to Prove you are a Viable #1 Overall Draft Pick and not a Bust is part of the QB field. A Two-Year contract is not a lock to be the Franchise Quarterback either. Now Wentz is in the building with a 1st year coaching staff and a competent backup QB/Coach. It’s Shape UP or Sit Bench for Bradford. This pre-season quarterback competition will be the best to follow. ( https://ffnation.comcarson-wentz-draft-forecast/ )

-Paxton Lynch will take the field before Wentz if Bradford humbles himself.  The Denver Broncos are going to be just fine. Lynch is the first step to maintaining a championship caliber team. Broncos fans should be satisfied. Mark Sanchez is a good teammate and will do whatever is necessary for the team’s success. You can’t deny him that. Two AFC Championship appearances, veteran experience and an Elway-esk smile will produce smooth sailing for the QB competition in Denver. Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas were hurt by Brock Osweiler and Peyton Manning in 2015. Sad day when Peyton hurt Two #1 Fantasy Wrs numbers. Times have changed. Sanders and Thomas are not weekly locks for the second straight season.
