Murray’s 2014 season has been nothing short of spectacular. He led the league with 1,845 rushing yards, including over 100 yards in the first eight games of the season. Murray performed like a RB1 every week this season and was obvious choice for the 2014 fantasy MVP.

Despite big names like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning coming off the board very early this summer, Luck ended up being the better value pick. He was first in the league with 40 passing touchdowns and was third with 4,761 passing yards. He has finally established himself as an elite QB.

Peterson was the consensus first overall pick in fantasy drafts this summer, but his 2014 season has been a complete nightmare. He managed only eight points in Week 1 and hasn’t seen a single carry since. He has spent more time in the court room than on the football field and the constant media attention only made the wound worse.

The injury to WR Calvin Johnson hurt his numbers, but Stafford disappointed fantasy owners throughout the entire season. He was drafted as a top-five QB in most formats, but he finished standard ESPN formats as the 15th ranked QB. This was a year to forget for Stafford.

Best Sleeper – RB Arian Foster, Houston Texans

Foster missed the occasional game this year with injuries, but he was an All-Star when on the field. He had seven 100-yard rushing performances and ended the year with 13 total TDs. Foster may have been frustrating to own from week to week, but he proved to be worthy of a mid-round pick this summer.

Best Sleeper (Runner Up) – WR Emmanuel Sanders, Denver Broncos

Sanders was a popular sleeper this offseason, but he was one of the few actually that actually panned out. He posted career numbers across the board by finishing with 101 receptions for 1,404 yards and nine TDs. He was drafted well after the fifth round this summer, but ended up being a top-10 WR in all formats.

Best Waiver Wire Pickup – RB Justin Forsett, Baltimore Ravens

Forsett was unknown at the beginning of the season, but he was handed the starting gig after Ray Rice was kicked off the team and Bernad Pierce simply fell out of favor with the coaches. He thrived in the starting role and ended up becoming one of the only workhorses in football down the stretch.

After sitting out the first four games of the 2014 season, Beckham exploded over the final 12 weeks. He finished the regular season with 91 receptions for 1,305 yards and 12 touchdowns, including an insane 606 yards and seven TDs over the final four games alone. He was one of the best waiver wire pickups of the entire 2014 season.
