Don 't expect Cam Newton production as a rookie, but RG3's upside is rather immense with his combination of world class speed, a rocket arm and the kind of crazy charisma teammates and fans fall in behind.

Injury Status: Out - Knee

Unless every scout known to man is wrong, this signal caller is the real deal. Could be a struggle early on during the Colts' transition from what's his name, but for those thinking long haul, nice.

Not only was the former Texas A&M passer arguably over-drafted, he landed on a team devoid of receiving talent. Dolphins are committed to Tannehill so long road ahead and eventually (one would think) they find him a legit WR1 type.

From big man on campus at Wisconsin to third round pick in the NFL Draft by Seattle to being named the Seahawks Week 1 starter, its already been an eventful ride for one Russell Wilson. Passed over by many teams due to his 5-foot-11 size, Wilson is the left coast version of Tim Tebow but with much better passing mechanics: He wins, plain and simple. Whether that translates into fantasy stardom is another story, though his scrambling ability will help maintain a steady level most weeks. The Seahawks current lack of high-end receiver weapons hurts his cause, but Wilson will be a popular option this season - and likely beyond.

Should start immediately, but advanced age limits long-term potential. That, and the Browns' lack of receiving options.

If Manning is truly back, Osweiler will serve in his apprenticeship role for a while. If Manning's return is a relatively short, the 6-foot-8 gunner's second-round status means Denver will give him first chance at taking over.
