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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
