Golden Tate Warriors

With Calvin Johnson retiring in the off-season, Golden Tate of the Detroit Lions is expected to see a jump in production. If his year goes anything like the Golden State Warriors, expect a huge year in the regular season followed by a gigantic letdown in the postseason.

Le'Veon a Prayer

With knee injuries plaguing him the past two seasons, combined with an expected 4-game suspension and the increased role of DeAngelo Williams, Le'Veon Bell is a big gamble this year. Pick him up and you'll find yourself saying a lot of prayers.

Game of Jones

Julio Jones is one of the best receivers in the league, catching two-thirds of the league-high 204 passes thrown his way last year. Look for Jones to dominate the playing field this year as much as Game of Thrones has dominated T.V.

Forte Year Old Virgin

Matt Forte joins the RB-heavy Jets this year hoping to continue producing even as he enters his ninth full season with over 2,000 career carries and 500 catches. The back will turn 31 in December, raising the question of how long he can hold up. Some fantasy owners, as well as the Chicago Bears, consider him past his prime.

A Zeke Outlook

Ezekiel Elliott finished his brilliant career last year at The Ohio State University before being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys with the fourth overall pick. Elliott is expected to be the Cowboys' feature back from the start and with Dallas' strong offensive line, his outlook is anything but bleak.

All About That Bosa

Another former Buckeye, for Joey Bosa this summer has been all about that contract. Bosa has yet to reach an agreement with the San Diego Chargers, who drafted him third overall in last year's draft. Bosa hasn't been on the field with his team since June and they haven't even communicated since late July. One or both sides will need to compromise soon, as Joey could make a big impact right away as a rookie.

Eat, Drink and D. Murray!

DeMarco Murray's future was looking bright when he got traded to the Titans this year, but his prospects took a blow when the Titans drafted Heisman winner Derrick Henry out of Alabama. Murray has struggled when asked to share touches, as he did last year in Philadelphia with Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles.

Dez-ed & Confused

Dez Bryant was embattled last year with a serious foot injury and the injury of his quarterback, Tony Romo. With both of them coming back healthy this year, Dez should have a big year, as he did the three years prior to last. Bryant should be a first-round pick in all leagues.

Get Out Me Carr

Derek Carr is entering his third year with the Oakland Raiders this year, and his upside is looking better and better each year. Expect him to improve on last year's impressive numbers as he becomes more comfortable with receivers Michael Crabtree, Amari Cooper, and Clive Walford.

Drake's New Favorite Team

Aside from his rapping, Drake is known for his wheelchair-bound role on "Degrassi," a few infamous feuds, getting you in your feelings, and bandwaggoning. Drake has been seen on the sidelines of many up-and-coming sports teams. If you become his new favorite team then you can expect a championship on the horizon. Unless you're the Toronto Raptors.

Suh-icide Squad

Ndamukong Suh won't be relevant in most leagues as a defensive player, but that shouldn't stop you from using his well-known and easy-to-use name as a culturally relevant team name. If you're not a DC Comics fan, you could always go with the classic Kung Suh Panda as well.

Almost Jameis

Jameis Winston had a decently impressive rookie season last year. This year, he'll be looking to avoid a sophomore slump and improve on last year's campaign. The Buccaneers are facing a tougher schedule than last year, so it won't be (G-) Eazy.

Make America Gronk Again

Rob Gronkowski is the top TE in the NFL and one of the top fantasy options overall. His partying antics also make him a polarizing social figure, sort of like certain presidential candidates. Gronk is a sure bet to make your team great.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
