NFL: 15 Players You Shouldn't be Hesitant To Draft On Your Fantasy Team

  Every season, people are more hesitant to draft players based on certain factors such as injuries, drop in production the year before, players getting older, new players on the roster, or simply because they're rookies and nobody knows how well they're going to do.

I have made a list of 15 players that you shouldn't be scared to draft to your fantasy team.

1. Colin Kaepernick

• He is in a new system and even though his production wasn't the best in 2014, I believe this year we'll see Kaepernick play a lot like he did in the 2012 playoffs. 
• He's the leader of this team now. No more Frank Gore, no Jim Harbaugh, it's on him and I believe that he knows that.

2. Victor Cruz

• No, he's not the prize receiver in New York anymore; You can get Cruz in a late round and he'll be a great addition to Beckham, who seems to be Eli Manning's favorite target. 
• He is coming off of a very severe injury but he's been smart about returning. Not playing in the first two preseason games and limited contact are ways to help his recovery for the regular season.   

3. Mike Wallace

• He hasn't had a one-thousand-yard season since 2011. However, he had 10 touchdowns in 2014 on a mediocre Miami offense. 
• He still has big-play capability and a change of scenery could be just what he needed to make a resurgence.   

4. Jeremy Maclin

• No receiver in Kansas City had a receiving touchdown in 2014. Maclin changes that and could see double digit touchdowns.
• Reunited with his former coach, Andy Reid, Maclin should fall right into place with his team. 
• Injuries have plagued him in the past but if he's healthy he's one of the most dangerous receivers in the league. 

5. Nick Foles

• His 2013 campaign (27 touchdowns, 2 interceptions) make it hard for him, honestly. He'll always have his season compared to that season and it's not fair to him. 
• The Rams don't have the biggest or best receivers, but I believe that Foles is the perfect answer to help this offense and playing two seasons in the Chip Kelly offense helped him a lot. 

6. Kendall Wright

• He didn't have the best 2014 campaign, it was his lowest year in receptions (57), and yards since 2012 (715).
• He's been the most consistent player on the Tennessee offense since he's been there. 
• With rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, look for Wright to be one of the security blankets for the young Heisman-winner. 

7. Darren Sproles

• He's not the first or second running back on the depth chart, no. However, there's actually more opportunity for Sproles with the additions of Demarco Murray and Ryan Mathews in the backfield. I expect you'll see Sproles in the slot position more in 2015 and they'll probably be a lot of dual-back formations. 
• Sproles isn't a big yardage guy anymore, but he's play maker still and a scoring machine. 

8. Brandon Marshall

• Even though he's in an offense that hasn't been the most productive in recent years, look for Marshall to help change the culture with the Jets. 
• Marshall hasn't had under 60 receptions since 2006, his rookie season, and I if healthy, I don't see that changing in 2015. 

9. Lamar Miller

• 2014 wasn't a "fluke" and 2015 will show that. I know that Miller has had his injury issues in the past but when he's been healthy and in the starting line-up he's been very productive. 
• With the defense getting a lot of the attention during the offseason, I expect for this offense to surprise a lot of people. 

10. Antonio Gates

• He's going to miss the first four games but it shouldn't affect him too much. Gates had an great 2014 campaign and we saw flashes of what Gates looked like in his prime. 

11. Michael Floyd

• He didn't have the season that people expected in 2014; he had a very streaky season. 
• John Brown turned out to be the most productive receiver in the offense and the biggest fantasy threat. 

12. Amari Cooper

• He's a rookie, yes. The Raiders are still the Raiders, I know. However, if any coach can turn around a terrible team it's Jack Del Rio. 
• Cooper isn't necessarily by himself. Michael Crabtree brings a lot of veteran wisdom and has a winning history from his days with San Francisco. He'll be a big factor in Cooper's success. 

 13. Melvin Gordon

• He's a rookie but he'll play a big role in this high-powered offense. 
• He will share carries with Braden Oliver and Danny Woodhead but he'll still majority of the carries. 
• Every time Gordon touches the ball he's a big-play threat. I believe by week 4, he'll have adapted to the speed of the game and the rookie jitters will be gone. 

14. Davante Adams

• Rodgers is going to throw and throw often. 
• No Jordy Nelson now, Adams has to step up and I believe he'll be a great complement to Randall Cobb. 
• He had four games in 2014 with at least five receptions. I anticipate a very big leap in his sophomore season, especially with Nelson out for the season. 

15. Doug Martin

• Martin is now two years removed from an ACL injury, last season is now behind him, now his it's time to see what Martin's worth is on the team. 
• Martin is in a position to have a great comeback season or work his way down the depth chart. I believe this is the year Martin proves he can still play at a pro bowl level... He could be a fantasy steal-of-the-year candidate.    

While drafting, take time to evaluate your current team roster and if you're debating taking one of these players but aren't sure because you're worried... STOP thinking so hard and just draft them. All of these 15 players are worth a late-round draft selection on your fantasy teams, if they're healthy, trust me. May this year's draft be your best, good luck!
