There are still some names that concern fantasy owners, however, such as Adrian Peterson, Joseph Randle and the long awaited return of Dez Bryant. So let’s get down to what you want to read and update you on some injured players.

There seems to be a clear top six at backstop, with J.T. Realmuto and Gary Sanchez standing above the rest. Several catchers will hit a few more homers than Realmuto, but he’s by far the best bet to lead the position in runs and stolen bases and it wouldn’t be a shock if he led in RBIs (83) like he did last year. He’s also going to be a positive in batting average, which relatively few catchers can boast....
There are six names at the position that immediately pop when going through the player pool: Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, Francisco Lindor, Xander Bogaerts, Trevor Story, and Jean Segura. They also happen to be the only six shortstops being taken in the top 65 in the Mock Draft Army. (Note: We’re not including Manny Machado, Jonathan Villar and Trea Turner. The first two won’t primarily be playing SS this year, and the latter won’t be eligible at that position on draft day....

Your dog thinks he's just getting a delicious treat (in this analogy, the theme song to a little-watched sitcom that ended in 1989), but he's actually getting a vital dose of life-saving sustenance (middle-infield fantasy analysis)....
MORE: 30 teams, 30 sleepers | Get the Fantasy Alarm Draft Guide Arcia was particularly impressive in an injury-shortened 2014, clubbing 20 homers in 372 at-bats. Playing the extrapolation game often delivers fool’s gold, but it’s fun so we’re going to play it anyway. Stretching out Arcia’s homer pace over a full season of at-bats, let’s say 550, fantasy owners would be looking at close to 30 homers. The thought of almost 30 homers may not make your draw drop, but power production isn’t what it used to be....
We combined those two sentiments with our annual list of at least one fantasy sleeper from every team. Some teams have multiple worthwhile candidates, while others – like the Tigers – don’t really have any. Doesn’t matter – we still find someone to talk up.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reported that Shane Vereen, who replaced Ridley after the starter had trouble holding onto the football Sunday against the Bills, fractured a bone in his wrist and will undergo surgery. The injury is expected to cost Vereen "a few weeks," or about 2-3 games. That opens the door for Ridley to regain his feature-back role as soon as Thursday against the Jets, but as I wrote earlier this morning, you never know what Bill Belichick will do....
