The World Series is officially behind us - and it is now time to look forward to the season of Fantasy Baseball 2015! I glanced at the statistics is 2014 seconds, and came up with some sizes that could help us as we start thinking about the future.

We must always remember that it is dangerous to look at the statistics on relatively small sample sizes. But always remember that you can always keep things from some players, despite being only 50 or 60 games.

This does not mean we can expect - but we can make some guesses about the immediate future of this player.

Statistics specifically wanted to show from August to September, as well as the many fantasy baseball owners months longer pay much attention to, so that they focus their baseball teams on their equipment fantasy football. But the term "second half" in baseball is actually a misnomer. Since the All-Star Game, which usually occur a few weeks in July, in fact there are more games in the first half of the second.

Batters half a second better appearance for the first half of 2015

So while we say, "Stats second half" is actually "the last 60 games or less" or "final two fifths."

Travis d'Arnaud, C, NY Mets: Nicholas Minnix cited a more aggressive safety net for the second year compared why it so batter after returning from a deterioration of summer approach. He hit 265 with a much better contact rate compared to 0217 was in the first half. Played on the number of games in 2015, it could be next season, that would do it a top-10 receptor a fantasy hitter 20-HR with more than 65 RBIs, and you will be able in 2015 C2 as writing.

Carlos Santana, 1B / 3B, Detroit: Another player who loses eligibility position - and many ways because it - is Santana. It is the second best receiver Jonathan Lucroy to be back to be just an average output third baseman. But still, it ended in round 6 model to a recent expert I MLB.com visited selected. He also met 53 points higher in the second half (0260), as it has done in the first half (0207).

Danny Santana, SS, Minnesota: While eligibility Santana both shortstop and the garden, which is likely to start in 2015 as a center fielder and leadoff twins. If it. Be able to blows is to reassemble, he is good enough to 25 to 30 interceptions to achieve speed while not too much to hurt in a Category He is 24 year to be 2, and you should be able to do in the second half of the projects.

Oswaldo Arcia, OF, Minnesota Twins: Another is batting and back Arcia, who was a co-main on his second season in the majors. As for your last line shows a 0.231 hitter with 20 homers. But 15 of those runs came in the second half, with only 28 RBI. When the twins continue to improve, so that Arcia who have more runners before beating him. His .517 slugging percentage in the second half is ranked tenth among gardeners in the second half. Tristan Cockcroft ESPN ranked as one of the top 50 outfield again for 2015, but I think that there will be 10 points better.

Dustin Ackley, OF, Seattle: The reasons that many people turn away from Ackley in 2015 are those who believe, it is a miracle of one year and lose their eligibility second base next year. But let a second device in conjunction with other gardeners. He was one of the 15 best gardener in RBIs (36), top 25 in runs (32) and the top 20 in batting average. Its ISO this year to 0153 rose by 0,089 and the first half (0,225) in the second part (0269), was a fantastic festival contributors. He will make a good de5 again in 2015.

During the second half of 2014 to be a good first half of 2015, these guys to pay dividends, for which was probably written.

Should avoid tight rookie ...

Ravens rookie TE ADP Maxx Williams is a lot of love, but we trust Rookie closer Fantasy Football?. Brace Hemmelgarn, Getty Images ending

A common theory fantasy football is not a rookie tight ends are bad for your fantasy football team. Obviously there are a lot of variables that go along with it, like a PPR league, depth 10 or 16 teams, with the FLEX point with narrow ends, etc.

We will take the time to the last decade to see what the rookie tight ends in fantasy football, and see if we need to be able to trust them in the future.

Ten years ago, the world of fantasy football has been struggling with a very high priority situation between the position of the narrow ends. Studs and Tony Gonzalez, Shannon Sharpe and Jeremy Shockey roamed the earth, crushing all other tight ends in fantasy in its path.

In 1998 there were three narrow ends that were at least 100 points (no more than 150) received, and 19 tight ends who scored 50 points.

In 2004, scoring six tight ends 100 points (two of more than 140), and tight ends 21 which will receive 50 points.

In 2014, however, he scored 10 points narrower ends 100 (three more than 140), and tight ends 26 which will receive 50 points.

If you need to start a tight end, there are many to choose from in 2015.

So it goes without saying that young tight ends more action than ever before, right? Well, not so fast.

This is a new era, with the rise of games going around the league, then see how tight ends recruits in recent years.

2010 fixed Rookie

We have our 2010 season starts as was undoubtedly the year of the rookie tight end.

This tight ends had their first season in the NFL in 2010, and you will agree with me, it was an incredible year end of the first year.

• Rob Gronkowski, New England: Fantastique 114 points in fifth place among the narrow
• Aaron Hernandez, New England 97 11
• Tony Moeaki, Kansas City: 73, 20
• Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati: 71, 21
• Jimmy Graham, New Orleans: 65, 23
• Michael Hoomanawanui, St. Louis: 32, 40
• Andrew Quarless, Green Bay: 29, 41
• Ed Dickson, Baltimore: 21, 51
• Logan Paulsen, Washington: 7, 75
• Dennis Pitta, Baltimore: 0 pts
• Garrett Graham, Houston 0 pts

In this ridiculous game novices closed wings, two landed in the top 12, that is, they were good tight ends in fantasy football this year. Another three landed in the top 24, they were close ends copy fantasy decent security meant.

Find out more: What tight end led all rookie tight ends in shooting this year? Jermaine Gresham!

Let's take a look at the statistics from the year following to see what happens in the future.

2011 fixed Rookie

• Kyle Rudolph, Minnesota: 42 decorative stitches, ranking 36th among close
• Charles Clay Miami: 41, 37a
• Lance Kendricks, St. Louis: 34, 39
• Rob Housler, Arizona: 13, 58
• Jordan Cameron, Cleveland 3 85a
• Niles Paul, Washington 3, 85a
• Julius Thomas, Denver: 0 pts

Certainly some gems of this group, too, but no one really shined over the coming seasons. One thing that stuck with me really in this season only three second year closed side resulted Gronk 1-2-3 position, Graham and Hernandez.

2012 Rookie Fest

• Dwayne Allen, Indianapolis 70 decorative stitches, 23 rank among the narrow ends
• Coby Fleener, Indianapolis: 40, 39
• Ladarius Verde, San Diego: 5, 76

This year, Andrew Luck came in the league, and the Colts drafted his tight end Fleener him at Stanford. But just as it is to connect the random and Wayne.

2013 which rookie

• Timothy Wright, Tampa Bay: 87 decorative stitches, ranking 13th overall among close
• Zach Ertz, Cincinnati: 70, 20
• Jordan Reed, Washington: 69, 22
• Mychal Rivera, Oakland: 64, 25
• Joseph Fauria, Detroit: 62, 27
• Tyler Eifert, Cincinnati: 56, 29
• Levine Toilolo, Atlanta: 17, 58

Wright quickly fell into oblivion after his trade with the Patriots last season, and do not forget that the Buccaneers signed and drafted Brandon Myers Austin Seferian-Jenkins when Wright had wishlist. The big rookie tight game in Fancy entering the year was actually Tyler Eifert and sixth among rookies closely!

2014 Rookie

• Jace Amaro, NY Jets: 46 decorative stitches, ranking 29th among tight ends
• Richard Rodgers, Green Bay: 34, 41
• Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Tampa Bay: 34, 42
• Eric Hebron, Detroit: 30, 45

One of the worst seasons rookie tight, but definitely in 2014 some promise for the coming seasons. Hebron and Seferian-Jenkins should do well in his second season and already start a little attention as possible in the year 2015 to get headlines fantasy ADP.

Amaro is in a different situation, since it has a new coach and a quarterback who is as talented as Matthew Stafford and not as promising as Jameis Winston.

2015 Fantasy Football Rookie tight ends Perspectives

As you can see, the rookie tight ends do not deliver on fantasy football generally. At least not pass a full season as owners expect. From week to week, you can certainly offer some value, of course, especially in the bye weeks.

Given the rookie tight ends Class of 2015, sticking a name above the rest, as Maxx Williams could be a lot of goals in the Baltimore show offense. Former Golden Gopher currently have large hands and new offensive coordinator Marc Trestman as their tight ends (see Martellus Bennett).

"I can Maxx Williams NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year", Mel Kiper ESPN said. "It could be just what Dennis Pitta was when he was healthy."

Current ADP Williams is the 12th among all tight ends (around 14) and according to him, is not intended to make a rookie tight around a big difference this year be.

2015 Rookie Tight End Notes

1. Maxx Williams, Baltimore
2. Clive Walford, Oakland
3. Jesse James, Pittsburgh
4. Tyler Kroft, Cincinnati
5. MyCole Pruitt, Minnesota
6. Jeff Heuerman, Denver
7. Malcolm Brown, St. Louis

It is possible that we could see a tight end recruit out of nowhere, as Tim Wright, but it is quite doubtful in this group. Here is a link with the rest of our 2015 Tight End note.

Avoid writing rookie tight ends this season, but I feel strongly about some of the recruits in the last year, that's for sure!

It & # 039; It's almost, Fantasy Football Draft Day! Try ...

Fantasy owners should set up away from the two drafting Dez Bryant and Tony Romo in most fantasy football leagues Wesley Hitt Getty Images remain.

We are deep in the summer, which the preparation of the fantasy football season is upon us means! You should be with your cheat sheet and a sharp mind, if their opportunities are made. But if you are to be projected at the beginning or you are stuck at the rear end of the first round, there are some useful tips for fantasy football projects every owner should seriously consider.

9 Fantasy Football TIPS Project

All projects are the same, but these tips should help projects somehow.

Not participating in chat room

Do not be distracted in the chat room. Always thinking about the next collection, and determine what goals are available. If there is too much, try to negotiate down. The chat room is fun, but only if you back-to-back spikes around the tower should really pay much attention to it. (The same goes for projects live - not in addition to the "Chatty Cathy" League sit).

Waiting for quarterbacks

Of course you can Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck at the expense of a major player from entering into a different position, but. You can wait for rounds 6, 7 or 8, and with a guy like Tony Romo, the pro game Fantasy Rodgers / chance by five points will submit. In the meantime, these points will be set for the amount that they instead chose Rodgers / chance. And their quarterback will be much easier to replace if you hurt in this way.

Avoid Rookie Tight End

Since 2011, when Rob Gronkowski exploded onto the scene (Aaron Hernandez), no rookie tight Fantasy Football has enough points to finish in the top 12 among the narrow.

Tim Wright had finished a great rookie season in 2013, and still only 13. Rookie tight ends are so young catchers in baseball - you have to learn more and so it will need in any other quarter offensive position more time for development.

Select a trade you

What I mean by this - if you think the project will finance four superstars, and the possibility of seconds, then try to negotiate by two points, and I'll always be a superstar - most anything you get in Trade. It is quite possible that you have planned to write the player with the second option, to.

Make Project "best" rookie fantasy player

I did a little research on this subject recently pointed out that the best rookie this season Fancy writing (written Rookie highest) liquidation would have the best score Fancy rookie season only three times in the last 15 years. That's a success rate of 20 percent! Get place a reliable veterans.

Get at least one RB and WR One in the first 3 rounds

Do not fall for much discussion "zero RB Theory". If Punt beginning runners have a lot of them gather in the middle rounds - where most wide receivers typically break. But you also want the way many large prisoner receivers are there to enjoy and try it important for each of the most important positions to reach 10 people.

Save February 3 final choice for the summertime and kicker

Most people say, choose a kicker in the final round, but it's not always a good idea. If you have a strong recovery in the last round, and a weak recovery in the penultimate lap, go ahead and take your kicker to before. What the defense, that does not mean too high in a very volatile situation from year to year to go.

Make your star WR quarterback project

If there's one thing that we. In the Daily Fantasy Football, that's what we want to risk their games head to head in 50/50 have distributed FanDuel learned When drafting a quarterback and receiver on the same computer entries luxury, you will have two of its players as a cornerback or defensive end are closed. If the DE in the neighborhood often they can not get the ball to WR. If the CB closes WR QB is his best option passport missing.

Do not worry Bye Weeks

Sometimes it goes well, and we have to worry with two receivers with the same bye week. If the role bye week, his team would vary widely, between injuries, the players in small groups and failures, so you do not waste time in planning Week 7 August.

2015 fantasy WR Note: What can last for years & # 039; s ...

This large luxury receptors are classified for standard leagues, no PPR.

21 Julian Edelman, New England: No matter how much we want him there is no escaping the fact that Edelman is Tom Brady favorite receiver. Unfortunately Brady is four games, which undermines the value of Edelman enough suspended.

22. Vincent Jackson, Tampa Bay: It's hard to complain about the 2014 season V-JAX, if you realize that you had with bath room / offensive lines to work, and had to endure the arrival and development of Mike Evans ,

In 2015, we will all be better prepared, and Jackson have a clearly covered in the offensive role and.

23. Sammy Watkins, Buffalo: Watkins was considered as the price of the recipient in the 2014 NFL Draft, but without much quality position Bills quarterback, was sentenced by a relatively fantasy view. But after hip surgery this offseason between 2015 Watkins spent with a new offense under Rex Ryan. Matt Cassel or EJ Manuel can give him the ball? That is the big bet.

24 Brandon Marshall, NY Jets: Marshall leaves next Jay Cutler, this time with Cutler and Marshall to stay in Chicago to move to the Big Apple. Marshall is not strong pace of the offensive he had in Chicago, but it should be the focal point of the team in the end zone.

25. Jordan Matthews, Matthews came Philadelphia in his rookie season on DeSean Jackson to replace, and now we have been developing to contribute further, the release of Jeremy Maclin. Fortunately, the Eagles have expected a decent schedule to the wide receivers.

26 Mike Wallace, Minnesota traded from Miami, the unfortunate Wallace should happy to be back on the offensive, which has much Adrian Peterson, but now. Wallace is a sprinter that can be displayed touchdown reception of 60 yards and really to get through the daily fantasy game.

27. Amari Cooper, Oakland: The best wide receiver in the draft rookie, Cooper joined a promising Raiders offense around the arm Derek Carr is not the same situation as at Watkins EJ Manuel last year built ..

28 Jeremy Maclin had Kansas City more catches last season 20 yards as a receiver combine all the leaders of the body, but that number will drop significantly with Alex Smith Introduction.

29. Michael Floyd, Arizona: As quickly as Floyd exploded in his second season, which had its third season. That is, it is difficult all on him the iniquity quarterback Carson Palmer is injured shoulder and knee.

30 Torrey Smith, San Francisco remains to be seen, but the arrival of Smith should be useful to what aspect of the offense for the 49ers Jim Harbaugh without Frank Gore and Michael Crabtree.

31. Roddy White, Atlanta: It's the last part of his career, but this offense still intends to throw the ball downfield. He had only one 100-yard game in the last year, however.

32 Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona: Speaking of aging veterans, Fitzgerald returned to Arizona, and Palmer should be healthy (hopefully) that will be a huge impact on the value of Fantasy # 11.

33. Kevin White, Chicago: This is one of the largest in Paris up in fantasy, but white is still relatively a project, even though his body in the NFL. But Kelvin Benjamin said that about last year also.

34. Jarvis Landry, Miami is suddenly the best receiver in Miami, in year 2, with Kenny Stills and rookie Devante Parker filling.

35. Allen Robinson, Jacksonville: The former Penn State star had tarnished his great rookie season of the year in small groups of half a dozen other impressive recruits. Before he broke his foot in week 10 it was the fifth best rookie WR in fantasy, which has more than 4.8 catches and 55 yards per game on average - a terrible crime.

36. Martavis Bryant, Pittsburgh: If you understand how slowly Defence Brown, the Steelers will see Bryant again, and proved to be able - if not by leaps and bounds.

37. Eric Decker, NY Jets: Are there enough balls for both Decker and Marshall in New York? Perhaps, and both are good in the end zone.

38. Percy Harvin, Buffalo: After failures with the Seahawks and Jets Harvin in Buffalo stir where he Watkins face. This offense is LeSean McCoy first feed, as Watkins and Harvin is probably more of a cheap theater work DFS become a few weeks.

39. Brandon LaFell, New England: an extraordinary season with the Patriots last season - his fifth in the NFL must LaFell to pay again as fantasy WR3 or WR4 in 2015.

40. Kendall Wright, Tennessee: Marcus Mariota finally the reins at quarterback for Tennessee, which is a good thing for the owner of Wright, Oregon QB that will keep the game longer need. This should make it more time to get open in Wright.

With the arrival of draft average position in the last decade, the exchange with readers ranking has become a futile exercise, because people watch their reach compared to ADP mention how you are wrong.

But in reality, the fantasy football rankings are just rankings. They are our views on how a project should be attacked, while ADP is an example of how projects underway.

I recently saw a video TED Talks Kathryn Schultz entitled "be wrong." She explains in the video, which examines the obsession people around the world to allow not "right" and others see when you had to be wrong.

His point is that wrong is exactly what we all need to address to help us, and we must never be afraid to make mistakes. We need to take advantage of opportunities to differentiate!

In the video, she explained that when someone shares with you the opinion that disagrees with you, the first to take over:

1. This person is ignorant. Not only have access to the same information that we do, and for that we share with them, they will see the light and come to our side of the argument.

Then, if the person has the same facts we do, however, do not agree, then we assume -

2. This person is an idiot. You have all the right pieces of the puzzle, but do not know how to properly together. But if that does not work, and we realize that they are actually very intelligent, finally, we believe -

3. This person is bad. You know, the truth and deliberately for their own purposes, selfish distorted evil.

This makes us treat each other badly, and from the perspective of fantasy football, sometimes leads to positions as ADP and vice versa.

So I decided to share with you three players, I think everyone (ADP) is wrong. And it's not because I think everyone is ignorant or stupid or bad. I just think they have different opinions - and that's fine with me!

Surfing the scroll bar to see which three players think fantasy football, everyone is wrong.

2015 Fantasy Tight End Notes: Can Kelce Join ...

1. Rob Gronkowski, New England is simply no debate - when Gronkowski is healthy, which is the best tight end in the imagination - and maybe even the best player overall. It shall come into training camp healthy for the first time in several years, but now the clock is stopped for a quarter of the regular season. While the plot continues to seek Gronk, with or without Tom Brady.

2. Jimmy Graham, Seattle Seahawks: Graham was traded to the Seahawks last offseason, and there is no doubt that he is the favorite target of Russell Wilson immediately. Unfortunately, the Hawks are still seems to run before proceeding. Graham is expected to achieve double-digit touchdowns, however.

3. Greg Olsen, Carolina: Unlike Graham and Gronk, Olsen played in every game the past three seasons. Again this type of reliability of a tight end in 1000 meters then turn 5 to 12 projects that the team is a very good thing. While Kelvin Benjamin and freshman WR Devin Funchess next year are obliged to make larger pieces of the pie shape, Olsen is expected to see 100 goals for the fourth time in a row.

4. Travis Kelce, Kansas City: We've heard for a few years the Athletics Kelce, and last season was his first where he stay healthy. Jeremy Maclin leader added this offseason and Kelce should take another big step forward, so it comes down to Alex Smith and his own progress in this crime.

5. Martellus Bennett, Chicago: There is a large drop-off in the top four fifty-six Bennett. Of course, there is always one of the main objectives in Chicago disappeared with Brandon Marshall. It starts strong in every season, he write and think that he goes through the middle of the season to be completed. If the rookie Kevin White takes longer to develop than expected, which is probably a good thing for Bennett.

6. Jules Thomas, Jacksonville: Only three tight ends caught a dozen touchdowns in 2014, Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Gates and Thomas. Thomas. 26, has much less noted, though, and he has used his success to pass the Broncos play in five years contract with the Jaguars $ 46 million. There are a handful of tight ends who worked out this summer, as Thomas, but well worth it, in rounds 7 and 8, after he entered happened the role of a quarter and a few pints and receiver trio.

7. Dwayne Allen, Indianapolis: The Colts added series pass catcher Frank Gore, veteran wide receiver Andre Johnson and rookie Phillip Dorsett deep threat this offseason, which explains less balls to go and Allen Mr. Fleener.

8. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia: The Maclin from Kansas City and Trade McCoy opens Ertz goals in the game Buffalo Chip Kelly happened. While DeMarco Murray and Ryan Mathews are sure an action, and to wear Rookie Nelson Agholor, should the first 10 Ertz fantastic figures, show a level still in the top five.

9. Jason Witten, Dallas: One of the best all-time pass catcher tight end should now that Murray is to be closer to his 2013 numbers in Philadelphia. The biggest difference is that his grades were from eight to five. Always a popular destination for Tony Romo.

10. Antonio Gates: Gates really hope 12 touchdowns in 2015 again a goal? Not with Keenan Allen entering Year 3 and Melvin Gordon provide more power to the running game.
