QB
La Flama Blanca is absolutely loaded at the QB position. Led by Aaron Rodgers, arguably the top real-life and fantasy QB, LFB should be putting up points left and right each week through the air. When Rodgers is on a bye, or the matchups dictate a roster move, we can turn to what may have been the steal of the draft in Russell Wilson. After a mediocre first few NFL games, Wilson exploded and put up ridiculous numbers over the last 12 or so weeks. Armed with excellent mobility to pair with consistent accuracy, Wilson feels misplaced as a QB2 but provides LFB with plenty of value.
RB
The La Flama Blanca RB stable is led by lead horse and first round pick Lesean McCoy. "Shady" projects to be an excellent fit in the uptempo spread scheme brought to Philadelphia by Chip Kelly. Kelly emphasizes the run and his RB's at Oregon put up huge numbers. Add in just enough of a passing attack to loosen defenses but not enough to allow the Eagles to soar and you are looking at a massive season from #25 in Green. An early run on RB's left LFB searching for quality runners to complete the stable and we feel we have found some electrifying runners. Fresh off a NCAA National Championship, the punishing Eddie Lacy looks to be the main man running the ball in Green Bay and should see plenty of favorable looks with the aforementioned Rodgers torching offenses through the air. Ryan Mathews is a former first round pick and talented runner looking to stay healthy. His OL in SD looks to have improved last season and an iffy conference gives Mathews the chance to be an impact player if healthy. Mark Ingram brings Heisman worthy talent to a crowded New Orleans offense but could be a major player if the defense can hold up and keep the Saints from constantly engaging in air-heavy shootouts.
WR
The WR corps training at La Flama Blanca HQ is truly terrifying. Randall Cobb brings electrifying versatility. The Packers KR/PR/WR/RB can do it all. His sure hands look to have him as Rodgers' favorite target going into the season and his elusiveness and knack for the big play ensure he will be doing more than just accumulating catches. Wes Welker provides a steady hand for the offense. As he transitions from one HOF QB to another he should remain a consistent 100 reception threat capable of shredding defenses from the slot. Hakeem Nicks brings a physicality to the WR corps and should post huge numbers from Eli if he can shake the injury bug. The St. Louis combo of Chris Givens and Tavon Austin look to make noise in the new and improved Ram offense. With breakneck speed and an improved OL to protect their QB, Sam Bradford, this tandem will give defenses headaches all season. Givens looks to build off a successful rookie season and show he is more than just a deadly deep threat and Austin looks to prove his enormous collegiate numbers were no fluke. Finally, Andre Roberts looks to build off his quick start to last season and capitalize on having a capable QB for the first time in Arizona since the Warner days. Look for LFB to reel in huge point totals from this group all season.
TE
Brandon Myers is currently trusted to be the guy at TE for La Flama Blanca. Coming to New York from Oakland Myers looks to build on a quality season last year in the Bay with a bigger season reflecting the upgrade in QB/offense he has to work with. Myers projects to be a steady presence in the LFB lineup.
K
The K spot at La Flama Blanca rests in the capable hands (leg?) of Greg "The Leg" Zeurlein. Also known as Legatron or Young GZ, Zeurlein boosts ridiculous leg strength (breaking the Rams longest FG record twice in the same game) to go with consistent accuracy. An improved Rams offense should give "The Leg" a few more gimme points on PAT's, but his giant leg puts them in scoring range basically as soon as Bradford moves them across midfield. Greg should be a busy man, and the potential for extra points from the long FGs makes Zeurlein an attractive fantasy K.
Def
La Flama Blanca is anchored at the Defense position by the always reliable Pittsburgh defense. The infusion of young talent, led by the dominating Jarvis Jones, combined with the holdovers and Dick LeBeau's genius puts the Steelers in position to stifle the offenses they will encounter during their favorable schedule. Expect a few big weeks as this impressive group feasts on below average QB's/offenses.
Summary
La Flama Blanca looks to be a deep squad poised to make significant noise in season 2 of the MFFL. With consistent point production sure to come from each spot on the roster, and talented reserves, La Flama Blanca will be a force to be reckoned from the opening kick.
