Fantasy Value 2014: Adrian Peterson, LeSean McCoy, Jamaal Charles

Gambling911.com has your Fantasy value heading into the new 2014 Football season for Adrian Peterson, LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles. 

*1 – ESPN.com notes that Peterson has missed significant time down the stretch in two of his past three seasons and just passed the ominous 2,000-carry plateau. But this wouldn't be the first time Peterson defied conventional wisdom. He has scored double-digit TDs in each of his seven NFL seasons and finished below 1,400 total yards only once. Trust us: He won't fall off a cliff in his age-29 season. Take him first overall with confidence.
CBS Sports reports that the Vikings want to get the running back to the edge more often this season, "both to maximize his explosiveness and reduce the pounding on his body," reports ESPN.com. "He'll run out of shotgun sets and multiple-receiver formations more often."

Peterson is expected to get more usage as a receiver and that's "the most profound change for him this season."

Some good future betting odds on Peterson include: Rushes OVER 1700 Yards paying $60 for every $10 bet, OVER 20 touchdowns pays $200 for every $10 bet and scoring 20 or more rushing touchdowns paying $300 for every $10 bet.  More betting futures on Peterson here

*2 - LeSean McCoy (Philadelphia Eagles) – ESPN.com notes: “Shady complements Chip Kelly's offense like Cheez Whiz on chipped steak. He won his first NFL rushing title last year -- by a whopping 268 yards. Over the past three seasons, McCoy is second only to Adrian Peterson in cumulative fantasy points among all RBs”.

TheBigLead.com says of McCoy: “(He) will be 26, and is in the same offense that saw him lead the league in rushing last year. His touchdowns might actually rise, and he should hold his value well based on historical comps, which include names like Walter Payton, Thurman Thomas, LaDainian Tomlinson, Emmitt Smith, and Terrell Davis.”

A few good future bets on McCoy include getting OVER 1700 Rushing Yards paying $60 for every $10 bet and and getting OVER 700 receiving yards paying $100 for every $10 bet.

*3 Jamaal Charles (Kansas City Chiefs) – ESPN.com: “Charles rode an NFL-best 19 TDs to fantasy's MVP in 2013. And he did it in Andy Reid's West Coast attack, which limited his carries (259) but increased his receptions (70). Charles led all RBs with 104 targets -- 38 more than his previous career high. The Chiefs have questions to answer on an offensive line left barren by free agency, but as long as Charles stays healthy, he's a big-play threat deserving of this ranking. Last year he produced 14 plays of 20 yards or more, tied for third best in the league among RBs.”

Odds of Charles getting OVER 15 touchdowns in 2014 pay just shy of $30 for every $10 bet.
