Now at the halfway mark of the NFL season, few (if any) running backs have produced more agita for their fantasy owners than Stevan Ridley. Coming off the heels of a breakthrough 1,260 yard, 12 touchdown season in 2012, the 24-year old’s stock was busting at the seams. His ADP

Drafted towards the end of the third round in 2012, T.Y. Hilton transitioned flawlessly from Sun Belt Conference dynamo to NFL playmaker. He topped all rookie receivers in touchdowns (7) and yards per catch (17.2), finishing a close second to Justin Blackmon with 861 receiving yards. Blessed with extraordinary top-end

Having already taken an investigative look at one-half of the Green Bay/Cincinnati rookie running back battle from week 3 (Johnathan Franklin), next up is Giovani Bernard.
