asked about Snyders mood in the locker room. from corse178's blog

While many fantasy football players are searching for value plays and sleepers, its just as important to think about the busts. Custom Los Angeles Rams Jerseys .Avoiding an early round dud can help you land potential breakout players in the middle rounds. Injuries are difficult to predict, but there are signs that indicate a player will disappoint at their draft cost.Here are a few players to be leery of in 2016:---KELVIN BENJAMIN (WR, Panthers)Benjamin is coming off a torn ACL and has struggled with his conditioning. Benjamin depended on volume during his rookie season and was able to get the targets because the Panthers were thin at receiver in 2014. Theres more competition for targets now with second-year receiver Devin Funchess, wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. and tight end Greg Olsen. Benjamin had 145 targets in 2014 and caught 73 for 1,008 yards and nine touchdowns. At 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds, he seems like a good red zone threat, but only caught 4 of his 15 targets. Benjamin is being drafted in the third or fourth rounds of most drafts -- too high a price to pay.---JULIAN EDELMAN (WR, Patriots)Edelman missed seven games in 2015 due to a foot injury and had two procedures to fix it. Edelman is reliant on sharp cuts to get open on short routes and quarterback Tom Brady will miss the first four games due to suspension. Edelman has played 16 games one time in his career and the Patriots have more weapons in the offense and will spread the ball around more. Edelman is being drafted in rounds 3 and 4, ahead of some better options at wide receiver.---MATT FORTE (RB, Jets)Forte has been dealing with a hamstring injury for most of training camp and the preseason. Forte has 2,522 touches in his career and turns 31 in December. Forte averaged 4.1 yards per carry last season and missed three games. He has 10 rushing touchdowns in his last 29 games and loses even more value in non point-per-reception formats.---JIMMY GRAHAM (TE, Seahawks)Graham suffered a patellar tendon knee injury last year and its one of the worst injuries for a football player. Giants receiver Victor Cruz hasnt returned from the same injury since 2014, in part because it led to other injuries. Graham, who turns 30 in December, had a difficult time adjusting to a new offense with Seattle last season with two touchdowns in 11 games.---MATT JONES (RB, Redskins)Jones suffered an AC shoulder sprain in Week 2 of the preseason and is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season. Jones is being drafted high due to the volume hes expected to see since there arent great options behind him, but Jones isnt very good. He averaged 3.4 yards per carry in 2015 with eight games of double-digit carries and topped 62 yards rushing once. Jones also lost four fumbles.---DOUG MARTIN (RB, Buccaneers)In a contract year, Martin rushed for 1,402 yards and 4.9 yards per carry in 2015. He missed 15 games the prior two seasons and didnt top 3.7 yards per carry in either. He has nine rushing touchdowns over his last 33 games and he loses some touches to Charles Sims.---BEN ROETHLISBERGER (QB, Steelers)Roethlisberger is being drafted in most leagues as a top 5 quarterback. The absence of wide receiver Martavis Bryant, who is suspended for the year, is a big loss for the Steelers offense. Roethlisberger is very inconsistent. Roethlisberger was 15th in points per game in leagues with 6 points for a passing touchdown last season at the quarterback position. Over the last two seasons, he has passed for one touchdown or less in 14 of 28 games. In is 12-year career, he has played 16 games three times and missed four games last season.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com . Aqib Talib Jersey . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. Marcus Peters Jersey . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. http://www.footballramsshop.us/authentic-brandon-allen-rams-jersey/ . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Kansas State coach Bill Snyder is a chameleon when it comes to his offenses, seemingly able to dissect his players in such a way that he can always rebuild them to play to their strengths.Have a star running back in Darren Sproles? Give him the ball 40 times a game. A prolific passer in Jake Waters and a sure-handed wide receiver in Tyler Lockett? Air it out.This year, the Wildcats have again been grounded.In a good way.In their season opener, the Wildcats ran for nearly 100 yards against an eighth-ranked Stanford team that was determined to stop their rushing attack. Charles Jones still averaged more than 5 yards per carry, and Justin Silman and Dalvin Warmack provided different looks when they were in the game.That production was still modest compared with last week against Florida Atlantic.Kansas State ran 54 times for 336 yards and seven touchdowns in the 63-7 shellacking . Four of the scores went to fullback Winston Dimel, the son of co-offensive coordinator Dana Dimel, while their trio of quarterbacks -- Jesse Ertz, Alex Delton and Joe Hubener -- accounted for the other scores.Every day there is one of us that takes a little lead over the other three and then boom, somebody else pops up in the lead, Warmack said. It is always a competition, which is good for all of us. It is making us all better.Indeed, pounding away on the ground is nothing new at Kansas State. Sproles was a workhorse, and even quarterback Collin Klein was adept at beating up opposing defenses during his near-Heisman Trophy-winning season.But rarely has Snyder had so many different options lining up in the backfield.Jones is a barrel-chested senior who has run for more than 1,300 yards in his career and gives the Wildcats a bit of experience. Silman is a sophomore who surprised many by playing meaningful downs a year ago, running for more than 350 yards. And Warmack may be the most talented of the bunch, another sophomore who got a chance on Saaturday to showcase his explosive ability. Brandon Allen Rams Jersey. He carried only eight times and gained 90 yards, the highlight a 43-yard scamper.Just being able to get out there and get some more experience under my belt felt good, Warmack said, before ruing the way he got tracked down on his long run against the Owls. The whole offensive line did a great job blocking and then I just made one cut and tried to take off -- but got a little gassed, so Im a little disappointed I did not get in the end zone.Warmack dutifully gave credit to his line, and it was largely deserved. The Wildcats are breaking in a bunch of new guys along the offensive front and they have so far played reasonably well.Running backs are only a part of advancing the ball in the running game, Snyder said. Offensive linemen have a lot to do with that, receivers play a major role in the big play facet of the running game, as well as the tight ends and fullbacks.Snyder would have preferred the wide receivers stay out of things last weekend. They were flagged for seven penalties, including a couple crucial holding calls that wiped out big gains.For all the good the Wildcats accomplished on offense, the flags are ultimately what stood out.You could probably guess, Ertz said, when asked about Snyders mood in the locker room. We dont typically commit a lot of penalties like that. ... People are just playing hard and its something you dont want to happen, but obviously when a guy is trying to make an effort play its hard to be mad at him.Kansas State has another tune-up for Big 12 play Saturday night against Missouri State. The program from the Football Championship Subdivision has only allowed 103 yards rushing in a 2-0 start.It should be another barometer of the Wildcats growing ground game.---Online: AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org White NFL Jerseys Cheap Youth NFL Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale Cheap Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2019 Wholesale Black NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store Stitched Jerseys Wholesale NFL Womens Jerseys Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys Jerseys NFL China NFL T-shirts From China Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
