Fantasy’s Biggest Boom or Bust Candidates: NFC East
Dorian “The Trashman” Colbert, Rosterwatch.com

Cole Beasley WR, Cowboys: Beasley has the inside route to the 3rd receiver spot in what is sure to be a high-flying Scott Linehan offense. But though a prolific system will be in place, there are a lot of mouths to feed in Bryant, Williams, Witten, and Escobar. Beasley could be the odd man out here.

Rueben Randle WR, Giants: Prior to the draft, we assumed Randle was in for a stellar season as the number 2 in New York, but the signing of LSU stud Odell Beckham has us a little worried about Randle’s role this year. A QB in Eli Manning who could very well  be on the down slope of his career doesn’t help us feel any better about Randle either.

Riley Cooper WR, Eagles: Cooper had a nice season last year on the arm of Nick Foles. We doubt Foles can have quite as perfect a season in 2014, and we’re almost certain Cooper won’t repeat his productive run. Jordan Matthews, Zach Ertz, and Darren Sproles will all eat into his targets. That being said, Coach Kelly wants an even more prolific offense this year, so you can’t count any of his primary weapons out.

Robert Griffin III QB, Redskins: RG3 is one of our favorite bounce back prospects this season. After the embarrassing year he had in 2013, it won’t take much to be an improvement in our eyes. With a full year of recovery after his ACL surgery and a star studded group of receivers, RG3 could easily be a top 5 QB this season.

Darren Sproles RB, Eagles: Sproles is a tough read in his first season as an Eagle. This could be his most diminished role since he came to the NFL, or it could be the second wind that reinvigorates his career. He won’t get more than 10 carries a game, but he rarely needs that many to make him extremely valuable in fantasy.

Eli Manning QB, Giants: Manning has been so up and down as of late, that no one really knows which Eli we’re going to see this season. It might the Super Bowl MVP, or it could be the walking comedy of errors we met last season. He has one of the best receiving corps in the league, so that’s a plus, but Eli has always been his own worst enemy.

Alfred Morris RB, Redskins: Morris will never be a total bust. He’s far too solid a back. We’re so used to superior play from him though, that anything less than a top ten finish seems like a letdown. He’s not the perfect fit for the offensive scheme being brought to Washington, but no one thought he was the right back for the job when he entered the NFL. If he keeps his head down and his feet moving, the sky’s the limit for Morris.

DeSean Jackson WR, Redskins: Coming off of a career best season in 2013, we were stoked about Jackon’s prospects in 2014; that is, until he was traded to Redskins. Jackson was top dog in Philly, but that’s Pierre Garcon’s title on his new team. It’s already being rumored that he’ll be no better than third in the passing hierarchy, behind Garcon and TE Jordan Reed. But Jackson is best known for his quality of play, not his quantity, and the talent across the field may actually deflect defensive attention away from him.
