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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
