Each week, TSN. Luca Sbisa Jersey .ca Fantasy Editor Scott Cullen and NFL Editors Ben Fisher and Mike Hetherington discuss three hot fantasy football topics. Can Montee Ball have a better season than Knowshon Morenos 2013 as Broncos running back? Cullen: As much as I expect Ball to have a productive season, perhaps one that will make him a Top 10 Fantasy running back, its a tad optimistic to think that hell match Moreno, who had 1,586 yards from scrimmage to go with 13 touchdowns. Thats a huge year, and while it was unexpected from Moreno last year too, Im not quite prepared to put Ball in that category. Maybe something more along the lines of 1,400 yards from scrimmage and 8-10 touchdowns would still be a phenomenal step forward for Ball. Fisher: Knowshon Moreno isnt a good running back. He wasnt any good prior to his huge 2013 and Im guessing he wont be very good again now that hes in Miami and no longer a part of Denvers high-powered offence. So what can a running back with some actual talent do as part of the Peyton Manning show? Were about to find out. I dont think Ball will challenge the likes of LeSean McCoy and Jamaal Charles as top fantasy running back, but hell be right there behind them at the end of the year. Hetherington: Absolutely. Moreno rushed 247 times last season despite the Broncos giving 119 carries to Ball. This year, Ball could receive upwards of 300 touches as the Broncos give only occasional carries to backup Ronnie Hillman. As the every-down back, Ball should also see targets from Peyton Manning in passing game. Ball and Moreno combined for 80 catches last season and Ball could see that many alone this year. No stranger to large workloads – rushing 663 times for 3,753 yards in his final two seasons at Wisconsin – Ball should have no trouble staying healthy after his offseason appendectomy. Expect Ball to eclipse Morenos stat line in every way this season as he works as the feature back in one of the NFLs premier offences. Where does TE Jimmy Graham rank among the top fantasy wide receivers? Cullen: My forecast might put Graham as high as number two, behind only Calvin Johnson, but Id be more inclined to throw Graham around fifth, behind Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, Dez Bryant and A.J. Green, high-end wide receivers that might have a higher ceiling, in terms of yardage, than a tight end, even one as great as Graham. Where Graham really made hay last season was when it came to scoring touchdowns, finishing with 16 to lead the league, and while its possible that could happen again, its tough to go chasing scores as the fundamental basis for a players fantasy production. So, Graham should be good for 1,200-plus yards and possibly double-digit touchdowns, which is pretty much in his own class at tight end, but closer to the top handful at wide receiver. Fisher: I would take Graham ahead of all the top receivers. With Rob Gronkowski still battling back from injury, there are so few tight ends you can rely on for big games every week. Thats what makes Graham so valuable, there are barely 10 tight ends that can muster up a 100 point season in fantasy, as where there are at least 20 receivers you know are good for 100 points or more – some even on the waiver wire – to fill your two starter spots. Hetherington: I believe Grahams name fits amongst the top-two fantasy wide receivers, second only to Calvin Johnson. I see Johnson, Demaryius Thomas, Dez Bryant and A.J. Green as the top four wide receivers this season and Id pencil Graham in directly behind Megatron. Grahams speed and size lend themselves to redzone catches – he caught a league-high 16 touchdowns last year - and he remains Drew Brees top target in a pass-first offence. Graham is the undisputed top tight end in fantasy this season and second overall when it comes to pass catchers on my board. Is there an Eddie Lacy or Keenan Allen in this years rookie class? Cullen: There may well be a running back who breaks through this season, but none have the same kind of appeal that Lacy did from the get-go last year with Green Bay. Bishop Sankey, in Tennessee, may be the only one who doesnt require an injury to take the starting job, but Cincinnatis Jeremy Hill, San Franciscos Carlos Hyde and Clevelands Terrance West are all intriguing rookie runners that could get significant playing time. When it comes to receivers, there are a few more high-end options who are at least in position to see the field immediately. Buffalos Sammy Watkins may not have a quarterback that can take full advantage of his skills, so he needs help, but thats not as much of a problem for the Saints Brandin Cooks or Carolinas Kelvin Benjamin. Given the suspect group of receivers in Carolina, Benjamin may have the best shot to have a big rookie season. Fisher: Yes to both, sort of. This years Keenan Allen is Kelvin Benjamin, who should get every opportunity to shine on a good offence as Cam Newtons top target. This years Eddie Lacy will be Carlos Hyde, eventually. If 49ers lead back Frank Gore breaks down physically or sees a massive dip in production, and theres a decent chance that happens to a 31-year-old running back with more than 2,000 career carries, Hyde becomes this years Lacy – a hungry back on a high-powered offence. Hetherington: Lacy? No. Allen? Perhaps. No running back selected in this years class is slated to start Week 1 and only Jeremy Hill of the Cincinnati Bengals appears slated for consistent carries. Bishop Snakey of the Tennessee Titans and Terrance West of the Cleveland Browns could get opportunities, but dont expect any rookie back to reach 1,000 yards. At wide receiver, first-round picks Kelvin Benjamin, Mike Evans and Brandin Cooks will likely all make instant impacts with their clubs. Looking deeper into the draft (Allen was selected in the third round), a name to watch is tight end Richard Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers. Also selected in the third round, Rodgers quickly made a strong impression in training camp and started all four of the Packers preseason games, surpassing incumbents Andrew Quarless and Brandon Bostick. Rodgers appears to be following Lacys footsteps by starting in the Packers dominant offence Week 1. Fantasy Football Report powered by Coors Light Markus Naslund Canucks Jersey .

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Despite being only two games above .500 and facing a 6.5-game deficit against first-place Detroit, the Kansas City Royals believe they have their rivals right where they want them. Judging by recent history, maybe they do. A five-run seventh inning keyed by Omar Infantes two-run single and an RBI double from Eric Hosmer enabled the Royals to avoid a demoralizing four-game sweep against the Tigers on Sunday. It also brought to mind the league-best 33-20 mark they logged last season after stumbling into the All-Star break on a five-game losing streak. "Were eight games better than we were at this time last year," manager Ned Yost said. "And were a second-half team. Weve always been a second-half team." Exactly why they seem to play better after the break, no one seems to know. "Im not sure," designated hitter Billy Butler said. "The seasons long, It wears on guys as they get older. Were young. And sometimes I think as guys get older ... I dont know." But he does know last years second-half surge makes this years challenge seem less daunting. "Were just better the second half. Its our track record and were starting to count on it." Four of the seventh-inning runs were charged to Justin Verlander (8-, who started the inning with a two-hit shutout but loaded the bases on three straight singles. "Things were going well for us and we ran into the seventh," said Verlander, who lost for just the fifth time in 15 decisions in Kauffman Stadium. "A couple of balls fell in the right spots and Im out of the ballgame. They were able to find some spots." Since June 18 when K.C. beat the Tigers for their 10th straight win and went a season-best seven games over .500, the Royals have gone 9-14 while the Tigers went 17-6. Verlanderr gave up six hits in 6 1/3 innings, struck out three and walked one. Loui Eriksson Canucks Jersey. Yordano Ventura (7-7) pitched 1 2/3 innings in his first career relief appearance and got the win. He allowed one hit and struck out three for the Royals, who beat the Tigers for only the first time in seven tries this year at home. Greg Holland pitched a perfect ninth for his 25th save in 26 opportunities. After Raul Ibanez loaded the bases in the seventh with a single that snapped a 0-for-25 skid, Alcides Escobar brought in a run with a slow-rolling infield single that second baseman Ian Kinsler failed to pick up cleanly. A second run then scored on Jarrod Dysons fielders choice. Ian Krol replaced Verlander and after intentionally walking pinch hitter Salvador Perez, gave up a two-run single to Omar Infante that made it 4-2. "I waited for that pitch and made good contact," Infante said. Hosmers double stretched his career-best hitting streak to 13 games. Rajai Davis and Austin Jackson opened the third with back-to-back singles and the Tigers took a 2-0 lead on Miguel Cabreras sacrifice fly and a two-out bloop single by J.D. Martinez, which fell in between shortstop Escobar and left fielder Ibanez as Jackson came around from first. NOTES: Jackson proved a perfect leadoff hitter in this series, starting all four games with a base hit, three singles and a double. ... Martinez made two nifty running catches in the right-field corner. Martinez was also 3 for 4. ... These were the only home games for the Royals during a 19-game stretch that began on June 30 and runs through July 23. ... The Royals, Dodgers, Yankees and Mariners are the only major league teams with losing records at home and winning marks on the road. ... All nine of Detroits hits were singles.
