Fantasy Football Movers & Shakers-AFC West

Here is a quick rundown on players who are new to the AFC West and may contribute to your fantasy team. 

AFC West
Denver Broncos-Willis McGahee enters the Broncos' backfield alongside Knowshon Moreno for new head coach John Fox who is well known for his committment to the run.  Moreno has not endeared himself to the team in his time there, but McGahee has a lot miles on his tires and is nothing more than a cheap source of touchdowns at this stage in his career. 

The departure of Jabar Gaffney opens the door for Eddie Royal to get more looks.  I look for a solid 70/800/6 year from Royal and he will make a solid reserve and bye week fill in for your fantasy team. 

Kansas City Chiefs-The Chiefs did not make any notable pick ups in free agency.  Steve Breaston was added but appears to be the third receiver behind Dwayne Bowe and rookie Jonathan Baldwin.  If Breaston can claim a starting role he would have late round fantasy value, but right now my advice is to pass. 


Kevin Boss
 Oakland Raiders-The Raiders added tight end Kevin Boss to replace Zach Miller.  Boss is a better blocker and capable receiver, but he is a slight downgrade from Miller in the fantasy world.  Boss is a last resort starter but quality backup or by week fill in if the matchup is right. 

San Diego Chargers-The Bolts did not have any subtractions or additions of fantasy relevance this offseason.
