*Hyde Yo Wife*
Overview: In what could easily be the most balanced division in the Legends Conference top to bottom, Hyde Yo Wife looks to build on their division winning, 9-4 2014 team. Coached by Greg Stallworth, Hyde Yo Wife are led by fan favorite and face of the franchise wide receiver Antonio Brown (Ranked #1 WR in 2014). Rounding out the offense is top 15 wide receiver Julio Jones (Ranked #11 WR in 2014) and running back Carlos Hyde (Ranked #45 RB in 2014). Defensively, line backer Bobby Wagner (Ranked #38 LB in 2014) will look to improve on a defense that underachieved in 2014.
Returning Stars: Carlos Hyde-RB (Reserve), Antonio Brown-WR (WR1), Julio Jones-WR (WR1), Bobby Wagner-LB (Reserve)
A Look At the Draft: With the #3 overall pick, Hyde Yo Wife has a tremendous opportunity to add to their pair of starting wide receivers in Brown and Jones. Will they go RB1 or QB1?
Injury Report: Hyde Yo Wife will open the 2015 season injury free.
*Beer, Cheese, & Brats*
Overview: Newcomer to The League! is Jim Barnes and Beer, Cheese, & Brats. The offense is led by top 5 quarterback and wide receiver Peyton Manning (Ranked #3 QB in 2014) and Odell Beckham Jr. (Ranked #5 WR in 2014). The defense will need a much needed upgrade and is led by line backer Demarcus Ware (Ranked #44 LB in 2014) and defensive back T.J. Ward (Ranked #34 DB in 2014).
Returning Stars: Peyton Manning-QB (QB1), Odell Beckham Jr.-WR (WR1), Demarcus Ware-LB (Reserve), T.J. Ward-DB (DB3)
A Look At the Draft: With the #6 pick in the draft, could Beer, Cheese, & Brats add another big time WR1 or RB1/RB2?
Injury Report: T.J. Ward-DB is suspended for the opener against division foe Hyde Yo Wife.
*Orange Peanuts*
Overview: New to The League! – E.F.F.L. this season is Orange Peanuts, coached by Champ Douglas! Although our preseason predictions rely heavily on stats from the 2014 season, don’t sleep on Orange Peanuts who with the return of running back Adrian Peterson (who only has stats from Week 1 in 2014) they can easily be the team to beat in the division. Quarterback Drew Brees (Ranked #5 QB in 2014) rounds out the offense as wide receiver Jordy Nelson (Ranked #2 WR in 2014) production will be sorely missed as he has been placed on season ending IR. Everson Griffen (Ranked #4 DL in 2014) will anchor the defensive line for Orange Peanuts.
Returning Stars: Drew Brees-QB (QB1), Adrian Peterson-RB (DNP), Jordy Nelson-WR (WR1), Everson Griffen-DL (DL1)
A Look At the Draft: With the #4 pick overall in the draft, Orange Peanuts will have to replace the production missed by the injured Jordy Nelson. Will they go RB1 or WR1 to secure their 2015 offense?
Injury Report: Jordy Nelson-WR has been placed on IR and will miss the 2015 season.
*The Gremlins*
Overview: Coached by newcomer Dan Arcand, The Gremlins are new to The League! – E.F.F.L. for the 2015 season. Led by their franchise running back Marshawn Lynch (Ranked #3 RB in 2014) and wide receiver Randall Cobb (Ranked #8 WR in 2014), The Gremlins look to take the division crown on their way to The Chase for the E.L.S.I.E. Playoffs. Defensively, The Gremlins turn to defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson (Ranked #11 DL in 2014) and line backer Julius Peppers (Ranked #20 LB in 2014).
Returning Stars: Marshawn Lynch-RB (RB1), Randall Cobb-WR (WR1), Sheldon Richardson-DL (DL1), Julius Peppers-LB (LB2)
A Look At the Draft: With the #2 overall pick, The Gremlins can go in a variety of ways as they could add another RB1, WR1 or go after a QB1.
Injury Report: Sheldon Richardson-DL is suspended for the season opener against divisional foe Orange Peanuts and Randall Cobb-WR is questionable.
