ISLSCP II
10 publications cited this dataset
This data set describes the geographic distributions of 17 classes of land cover based on the International Geosphere-Biosphere DISCover land cover legend (Loveland and Belward 1997) and the 15 classes of the SiB model processed at the USGS EROS Data Center (EDC). Specifically, the resampled DISCover datasets were derived from the 1km DISCover data set compiled by the USGS. The 1km data sets for each classification scheme were aggregated to 1, 0.5 and 0.25 degree spatial resolutions for this ISLSCP II data collection. Each layer of the aggregated products corresponds to a single DISCover land cover category and the values represent the percentage of the coarse resolution cell (1 degree, etc...)occupied by that land cover category. The dominant class data show the land cover category that occupies the majority of the cell and is derived from the percentage files for each cover type. The objective of this study was to create a land cover map derived from 1 kilometer AVHRR data using a full year of data (April 1992-March 1993). This thematic map was resampled to 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 degree grids for the International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP) data initiative II. During this re-processing, the original EDC land cover type and fraction maps were adjusted to match the water/land fraction of the ISLSCP II land/water mask. These maps were generated for use by global modelers and others. This data set is one of the products of the International Satellite Land-Surface Climatology Project, Initiative II (ISLSCP II) data collection which contains 50 global time series data sets for the ten-year period 1986 to 1995. Selected data sets span even longer periods. ISLSCP II is a consistent collection of data sets that were compiled from existing data sources and algorithms, and were designed to satisfy the needs of modelers and investigators of the global carbon, water and energy cycle. The data were acquired from a number of U.S. and international agencies, universities, and institutions. The global data sets were mapped at consistent spatial (1, 0.5 and 0.25 degrees) and temporal (monthly, with meteorological data at finer (e.g., 3-hour)) resolutions and reformatted into a common ASCII format. The data and documentation have undergone two peer reviews. ISLSCP is one of several projects of Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) [http://www.gewex.org/] and has the lead role in addressing land-atmosphere interactions -- process modeling, data retrieval algorithms, field experiment design and execution, and the development of global data sets.

Problem F: City Merger
Recent improvements in information and communication technology have made it possible to provide municipal service to a wider area more quickly and with less costs. Stimulated by this, and probably for saving their not sufficient funds, mayors of many cities started to discuss on mergers of their cities.
There are, of course, many obstacles to actually put the planned mergers in practice. Each city has its own culture of which citizens are proud. One of the largest sources of friction is with the name of the new city. All citizens would insist that the name of the new city should have the original name of their own city at least as a part of it. Simply concatenating all the original names would, however, make the name too long for everyday use.
You are asked by a group of mayors to write a program that finds the shortest possible name for the new city that includes all the original names of the merged cities. If two or more cities have common parts, they can be overlapped. For example, if "FUKUOKA", "OKAYAMA", and "YAMAGUCHI" cities are to be merged, "FUKUOKAYAMAGUCHI" is such a name that include all three of the original city names. Although this includes all the characters of the city name "FUKUYAMA" in this order, it does not appear as a consecutive substring, and thus "FUKUYAMA" is not considered to be included in the name.
The input is a sequence of datasets. Each dataset begins with a line containing a positive integer n (n ≤ 14), which denotes the number of cities to be merged. The following n lines contain the names of the cities in uppercase alphabetical letters, one in each line. You may assume that none of the original city names has more than 20 characters. Of course, no two cities have the same name.
The end of the input is indicated by a line consisting of a zero.
For each dataset, output the length of the shortest possible name of the new city in one line. The output should not contain any other characters.

Wow. I haven't written one of these in a while. But as Season Two of The Walking Dead releases tomorrow and as I hit more scenes in my Outline that need to be completely overhauled, I felt now was a perfect time to get back to my Games for Writers series.
I have a tendency to buy critically acclaimed titles and just leave them alone for years (I'm still sitting on Fez). In most cases it's because I know something intense and high quality is waiting and I want to be sure I'm ready for it. That was especially true with Season One of Telltale's The Walking Dead series. I was told the ending was heartbreaking and I generally prefer to control my intake of "heartbreaking." So I put it off until this Halloween, at which point I discovered that oh man, seriously, I underestimated just how hard I would be hit by the story—particularly the last few hours.
However, this article isn't about the conclusion. While the drama of No Time Left, Season One's final chapter, was really, really potent, there's something a bit more practical and universal that makes this game worth a play for any writer. Not the concept of making people bawl their eyes out, but the concept of Choice when it comes to your characters and your writing. Yes, if there's one thing I think writers should play The Walking Dead to experience, it's the constant, inescapable presence of Choice.
For writers, Choice is a very serious, very high stakes, and very constant factor in the story-telling process. The writer experiences it themselves the moment they take up their pen, because even that moment—before any words have even been set on paper—is steeped in choices: "Where do I start?" "Who's in this scene?" "Where do I want this to go?" "What are these characters going to do?" I believe all writers know this, and I believe that even if a writer played this game simply to experience the way it trains you to make important choices, they will have gotten their money's worth.
Clementine will remember you said that.
The Walking Dead, however, makes choice something that characters do. You can absolutely play it the way you want and make your own Lee with his own consequences, but the consequences are what make the experience, and those consequences are largely out of your hands because, most of the time, they're based on the actions of NPC's. More than any other game I've played, The Walking Dead makes you believe and relate to the characters around you, even if you play a completely meta Lee. It does a frighteningly good job of making you understand why and how Lilly is crazy, for example, or most often and most clearly, what Clementine thinks of you based on what you say, do and tell her. To tie it in more tightly here, it shows you exactly how your decisions—your choices—affect others and lead them to choices of their own. In short, it gives you characters that feel frighteningly real and whose ability to think for themselves is absolutely a lesson any writer would benefit from experiencing. I don't think every story can foster a host of character decisions, but The Walking Dead stands as a compelling example of how characters should act—alive. Self-centered. Real.
There are almost infinite ways that scenes can work—almost infinite ways events can unfold in a story—based on the desires, beliefs and decisions of its characters.
There's an inherent pressure in writers to find the "right" scene. We reach for vaguely defined, optimal approaches—infinitely perfect moments—for each scene that we believe will make them perfect. In a lot of cases, this ideal scene is the beginning of our story and many of us wait for that lightning to strike until we sadly forget the expected shape of it and move on to something else. The thing is, there is no ideal—no brilliant first sentence that will shake everyone who reads it. That isn't how writing works; no one falls in love with a novel because of its first sentence. People memorize the first lines of classics and brandish them on occasion, but the merits of classics are not in the sentences they begin with. They're in the characters they begin with.
And that is why I changed some scenes back to the way they were; when I chose to add or subtract moments in an attempt to find that ideal, I ignored what characters had done before as illogical. But then, during the actual rewrite, as I started to listen to my character's decisions, I found that a lot of those ideal changes I made didn't make sense; in the final version of my book, scenes either regressed to mirrors of older scenes with drastically different, more character-relevant tones, or I changed them a third time, based on how my characters felt and what other decisions they'd made.
The lesson for me, and the one The Walking Dead makes clearly, is that the choices all of your characters make are as important as the choices you make as a writer. And those two things are not always the same and can't always be the same; at the risk of sounding completely crazy, your characters can and will disagree with you and you have to let them. Even if it means you're undoing your own work or sitting at your computer for hours trying to figure out—"Wait… so, if he does that here… that means… … <sigh>." Put simply, if you don't consider what your characters actually want to do or say—what they actually think and feel—in favor of putting them where you want them and speaking your words through them, you need to play The Walking Dead if only to be humbled. If only to realize that your character's decisions can and should come first.
All Likes, Comments, and Subscribes are appreciated as well, but regardless of those, I hope you have an awesome holiday!

OP 20/01
Operational positions
Commissioner's operational position on Part 10B transfers of excess tax, effective date for ICA entries.
This operational position considers requests to transfer overpaid tax, within a taxpayer's account or to the account of another entity or associate. It considers effects on the imputation credit account of both transferor and transferee companies of requests to transfer to a date in the past.
TIB Volume 32 No 2 March 2020
The purpose of an Operational Position is to outline the legal position that the Commissioner considers is correct for an issue identified and the approach the Commissioner will be taking to applying that position in practice.
Under Part 10B of the Tax Administration Act 1994 (the TAA) taxpayers can request the Commissioner to transfer overpaid tax to another period or tax type within their own tax accounts or to the accounts of other entities or associates. They can also sometimes choose a date (the date of transfer) that a transfer of overpaid tax will be effective from. A question has arisen over the effect on the imputation credit account (ICA) of both transferor and transferee companies if an earlier date is chosen (as the TAA allows). It has been identified that in practice taxpayers, and Inland Revenue, have often treated the effective date as the date the transfer is processed rather than requiring adjustments to the ICA back to whatever earlier date has been chosen.
The Commissioner considers that the correct position is that an ICA must have entries recorded as at the date of transfer ie. the effective date chosen. It is not appropriate to record the entries as at the date Inland Revenue processes the request to transfer excess tax.
This conclusion is consistent with the explanation of the transfer rules in Tax Information Bulletin Vol 14, No 11 (November 2002). It may mean, however, that adjustments need to be made to ICA balances back to the date of transfer and that imputation returns after the date of transfer are no longer correct. The consequences of that could include further income tax, imputation penalty tax and Use of Money Interest for the transferor company.
When making requests for transfers, taxpayers need to consider the possible effects on ICA balances and imputation returns and take them into account to ensure the ICA is correct after the transfer.
Operational position
The Commissioner will be applying this interpretation to requests for transfers made on or after 5 February 2020.
The Commissioner will adjust, and apply the correct view of the law, when an audit or investigation uncovers incorrect ICA entries or where incorrect entries are identified when processing a transfer request to an earlier period. However, the Commissioner will not devote resources to identifying adjustments to ICA accounts and assessments affected by an incorrect transfer date being used for a transfer of excess tax under Part 10B of the TAA where transfers have been requested prior to 5 February 2020.

When considering the Internet providers in Burlington, there are lots of ways to determine the best Internet bundle options. First, it is best to determine what bundle might be the most ideal for you and your family. Next, it is necessary to decide upon your Internet speed and connection type. Then, you can also research bundling options in your area to magnify your savings.
Are you wondering if the number of devices you connect to your Internet will slow down your connection? In Burlington, families love to be connected and most families are connecting multiple phones, tablets, computers, gaming systems, and other devices to their Internet connection at the same time. However, this can affect the download speeds that you're actually able to get from your Internet service provider. Therefore, you'll need to check to see if you are actually getting the Internet download speed your provider advertised in your plan. If it appears that your Burlington family isn't getting what you're paying for, it might be time to switch providers.
Families in the Burlington area may not realize that the struggles they encounter with their Internet connectivity could be caused by a lack of megabits. This might sound like a strange statement but having enough megabits (Mbps) is necessary in order to upload and download files, videos, music, books, and more without negatively affecting your Internet speed. This is why it's necessary to choose an Internet service provider that offers the speed and connectivity you need. If your Burlington family only uses the Internet for browsing and email, then you will most-likely be fine with less than 10 Mbps. However, if your household frequently plays online video games and streams video, you would be better suited if you opted for 25 Mbps or more.
If you've added a new wireless router recently and are experiencing issues with connectivity, it could be because of a few things. You can always try to restart your router and see if that fixes the problem. If this doesn't fix your connectivity issues, your Burlington family might continue to experience issues, so you can always contact your Internet service provider and discuss upgrading to a new plan with a higher upload/download speed. Additionally, you may want to consider switching to a new Vermont Internet provider.
Are you a fan of Youtube or online TV? Then you know just how important it is to have a strong and reliable connection. Buffering and unsavory download qualities can easily turn your daily ritual into a lag-filled nightmare. The top Internet service providers in the nation can bring you peace of mind with blazing-fast download, upload, and streaming speeds customized to fit your devices and usage!
Why pay full price for cable and Internet service in Burlington when you can bundle with Spectrum and save? Multitudes of Burlington members have already found that bundling Internet with cable and/or phone services is the prime way to increase their savings on the services they love. Join them by becoming a new Spectrum customer and getting access to these incredible deals along with the possibility of a gift card incentive or rebate!
When it's time to change Internet service providers, you may be wondering which is the premium choice in Burlington. There are many options, but definitely one that meets all your needs with regard to hi-speed Internet, upload and download speeds, and connectivity. You and your family can discover that switching to a new provider might give you the speed you need for gaming, the pricing you'll love, and the specifications you desire.


It is fascinating to see the evolution within the relationship of online game technology to computer technology. The unique Client Pong used an N-channel IC that ran at three.5 MHz that was the very best performance built-in circuit utilized in a shopper machine at the moment. Within the '70 the demand for high performance semiconductors and processing power used in video video games helped drive the semiconductor business. At this time, computers make jobs that used to be sophisticated much less complicated. For example, you'll be able to write a letter in a word processor , edit it anytime, spell test , print copies, and ship it to someone across the world in a matter of seconds. All of those activities would have taken someone days, if not months, to do earlier than. Additionally, the entire above is only a small fraction of what computers can do.
According to statistics compiled by Nielsen, the average US Internet person spends extra time on Facebook than on Google, YouTube, Microsoft, Wikipeda and Amazon Mixed. As of January 2010, the common Fb person spent greater than seven hours monthly on the site. American Facebook users spent a mean of 421 minutes on Facebook per month, which amounts to greater than 14 minutes per day. If you happen to coalesce collectively the time American Internet users spend of Google(1:35), YouTube (1:02), Microsoft/Bing (:35), Wikipedia (zero:15), and Amazon (zero:22) each month it does not equal the time customers spend on Facebook.
Researchers of Penn State has developed a statistical method known as Automatic Linguistic Indexing of Photos in Real Time or ALIPR which can be a next major step insearching for pictures on Internet.

To scrub the software program has been uninstalled on, may use quite a lot of free Utilities.
Evil can then be equated with one thing like info dissolution, where the irretrievable lack of information is unhealthy and the preservation of knowledge is sweet (Floridi and Sanders 2001).

Background: Malondialdehyde is a product of lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in foods and biological samples and widely used as biomarker of oxidative stress in various diseases. We describe the validation of a new microextraction-LC-UV method for the determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the form of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) derivatization in plasma samples.
Objective: A new microextraction technique called vortex and N2 assisted liquid-liquid microextraction has been developed for the determination MDA in plasma samples.
Method: The DNPH-derivatized MDA was extracted into ethyl acetate as an extraction solvent and measured by LC-UV at 310 nm after evaporation of ethyl acetate and re-dissolving in mobile phase composed of 0.2% acetic acid–acetonitrile (50:50; v/v). This method validated according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines.
Results: The limit of detection of MDA was 0.038 µmol L-1 (2.74 µg L-1) and the intra and interday relative standard deviations were in the range of 3.8-5.0% and 5.5-9.4%, respectively for different concentrations of MDA.
Conclusion: A precise and valid method to measure MDA as DNPH derivatization in plasma samples using LC was proposed.

The Amber Fort being one of the prime attractions of Jaipur, is crowded at all times. And if you wish to avoid much crowd, then visit it on a week day.
It is a vast complex and walking around is the only way to enjoy and feel its beauty. Hence wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
There are rest rooms and café within the premises.
Guides are available for a fee. You can choose either English or Hindi speaking guide as per your choice.
Rajasthan being a desert is warm throughout the year at least during the day. Sometimes the sun can be unbearable. That is why, it is best to visit Jaipur during winter, from November to March.
Buses, auto-rickshaws, taxis or cars are available from Jaipur. You can board public buses to Amer town from Ajmeri Gate and MI Road. The fort is perched on a hill, so to reach there, you can either walk or take an elephant ride. Experience the thrill and joy of an elephant ride at the fort.
Amber Fort is a part of UNESCO World Heritage sites.
The fort and the town gets its name from Goddess Ambe, the prime deity of the Meena dynasty.
It is a place that should be a must-visit for every Indian and for every art lover as it is full of artistic marvels, be it paintings, carvings, architecture and so on.
The Amber Fort Palace has four levels, each having a courtyard.
The main complexes within the fort are Diwan-i-Aam, a hall meant for public, Diwan-i-Khas, a hall for private audience, the splendid Sheesh Mahal or the Mirror Palace, Jai Mandir and the Sukh Niwas, a complex that had natural air conditioning and this could happen because of the wind that blew across a water area built within. It is definitely a sign of creativity and wisdom of the time!
It was mainly used for residence purposes by the royal families, as opposed to Jaigarh Fort, which was more of a defence and armoury location.
A popular attraction is a carving known as 'magic flower' which is carved on a marble panel on a pillar in the Sheesh Mahal. Seven beautiful designs are carved on it including a lotus, lion's tail, scorpion, hooded cobra, fish tail, cob or corn and an elephant trunk. You will have to cover the panel partially with your hands to view each of the design. An artistic marvel, really!
One of the main attractions at Amer Fort is the Sheesh Mahal which has mirror mosaics and coloured glasses all over. Even if a single candle is lit, its reflections in the thousands of mirrors inside the Sheesh Mahal make it appear like thousand stars. A visual delight!
An architectural marvel, the Amber Fort is a delight to just behold and when you pass through its many courtyards or look around from above the fort, you are transported into a rich and elegant bygone era when living was about preserving and following culture and traditions. The Amber Fort even today looks as majestic, elegant and splendid as ever. Visit the fort and you will be blessed with an experience that you will cherish forever.


Ira Remsen served as President of the National Academy of Sciences from 1907 to 1913. A chemist, whose most notable discovery was found while conducting research on coal tar derivatives. He noticed that through oxidation of a particular compound he had created a sweet substance he named saccharin, widely used as an artificial sweetener.
After graduating from Columbia University with a degree in medicine Remsen went on to pursue his interests in chemistry. In 1867 he went to Germany to study at the universities of Munich and Göttingen, where he earned his PhD in chemistry 1870. He spent the next two years investigating pure chemistry at the University of Tübingen. Upon his return to the United States, Remsen was a Professor of chemistry and physics at Williams College when he was invited to join the original faculty of Johns Hopkins University and create the new Chemistry Department. Remsen's long career at Johns Hopkins began in 1876 where he served as a Professor of Chemistry, Director of the Chemical Laboratory, Secretary of the Academic Council, and President of the University. In addition, he founded the American Chemical Journal in 1879 and served as its editor until 1913.
During his presidency of the National Academy of Sciences he appointed a committee on the Conduct of Scientific Work under the Government and a committee to cooperate with the National Conservation Commission. In 1909 President Roosevelt appointed Remsen as the Chairman of a Board to study problems associated with the Pure Food and Drug Act. With few other calls on the Academy, Remsen focused on internal affairs by specializing standing committees to allow for a broader range of disciplines to be represented and appointing a committee to report on plans to make public meetings important scientific events.

Boy Evacuee HN3202 – Royal Doulton Figurine
# 1952 – The Boy Evacuee HN3202 – from the Children of the Blitz Series
SKU: FIG:Boy Evacuee HN3202 Categories: Children of the Blitz, Royal Doulton
During World War II, a sustained bombing of Britain by Nazi Germany called "The Blitz" forced many families to evacuate the city in search of safety. Royal Doulton honors the children who survived this war with their limited edition Children of the Blitz series.
The evacuation of civilians in Britain during World War II was designed to save lives, particularly children; from the risks associated with aerial bombings of the cities by moving them to areas thought to be less at risk. Operation Pied Piper, which began on September 1, 1939, officially relocated more than 3.5 million people. For the 50th anniversary of Operation Pied Piper, the artists at the Royal Doulton studios created a limited edition series honoring the millions of brave children who endured this turbulent time in British history..

Perfectly placed in the vibrant heart of Seminyak, Villa is all you could possibly want when you stay on the island of Bali. This smart four bedroom holiday home is just the right size and layout when you travel together as a family or a small group of friends.
Villa takes island design up a few notches with a look that is fresh and tropical. The focal point of the property is a unique shaped swimming pool edged by a timber deck. A gazebo at one end is highlighted by hanging vines and creates a shady niche to escape the heat.
Villa is located down a small laneway that runs directly off Jalan Laksmana also fondly known as Eat Street. It is within easy walking distance to a great choice of restaurants, boutiques and inexpensive market stalls set up at the popular Seminyak Square.
The beach is a quick taxi ride away for a day spent experiencing Balis famous surf culture. For something a little more high-end, make your way to KU DE TA or Potato Head to eat, drink and party in a stylish beach club setting.
The living area is an open-plan space that embraces the outdoors and overlooks the full length of the swimming pool. It features customized teak furnishings with red cushioned seating arranged around a wall-mounted television and home entertainment system.
A sleek kitchen completed by stainless steel appliances and a mirrored backsplash runs along one entire wall. It comes with all essential kitchenware for self catering and feeding hungry children. There is also an eight-seat wooden dining table for leisurely breakfasts and meals together.
Villa has two ground floor bedrooms in a free-standing structure on the opposite side of the swimming pool. They are both similarly sized and styled for comfort. Each has an en-suite bathroom fitted with a luxurious egg-shaped bath tub and a separate rain shower.
Two additional bedrooms can be found upstairs with double beds fitted with crisp white sheets and plump pillows. Both en-suite bathrooms have just a glass-enclosed shower cubicle with an overhead skylight.
Almost the entire outdoor space at Villa is taken up by an unusual shaped swimming pool that resembles a figure eight. Tall palms with staghorn ferns attached have been planted in opposite corners of the compound to keep things looking green.
The pool promises hours of family fun with a shady gazebo plus a deck to sit and soak up the sun. It is in full visual range for parents to keep a watchful eye on children at all times as they splash around and play.

China closes tourist spots in Inner Mongolia after bubonic plague case
Jessie Yeung and Shawn Deng, CNN • Updated 8th July 2020
(CNN) — Authorities in the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia have closed several tourist spots after a case of bubonic plague was confirmed this week.
The case was discovered in Bayannur, located northwest of the capital Beijing. Five nearby grassland scenic points have now been closed, with visitors "strictly prohibited from entering the affected area and visiting the surrounding region," according to state-run Xinhua news agency.
Inner Mongolia authorities are also implementing stricter management of other grassland tourist sites to ensure visitors don't feed or touch wild animals, and to decrease the population of rodents or fleas that may carry diseases, according to the Xinhua report.
Hospital authorities in Bayannur first alerted city officials of the suspected case on Saturday. The city was placed under a Level 3 warning for plague prevention, the second lowest in a four-level system, on Sunday.
Doctors officially diagnosed the case as bubonic plague on Tuesday. The patient is being isolated and treated in hospital, and is in stable condition, Xinhua reported.
Chinese authorities confirm case of bubonic plague in Inner Mongolia
Plague, caused by bacteria and transmitted through flea bites and infected animals, is known for causing the most deadly pandemic in human history -- the Black Death, which killed an estimated 50 million people in Europe in the Middle Ages.
Bubonic plague, which is one of plague's three forms, causes painful, swollen lymph nodes, as well as fever, chills, and coughing.
Scientists and experts cautioned the public not to panic at the new cases -- plague has never really gone away, and modern antibiotics can prevent complications and death if administered quickly enough.
The World Health Organization is monitoring the situation in partnership with Chinese and Mongolian authorities, according to state-run newspaper China Daily.
Bayannur health authorities warned the public to report findings of dead or sick marmots, and not to hunt, skin or eat them.
Marmots are a type of large ground squirrel that is eaten in some parts of China and the neighboring country Mongolia, and which have historically caused plague outbreaks in the region.
Two cases of bubonic plague prompt crack down on marmot hunting
Consumption of marmot meat or organs has been linked to a smattering of other recent bubonic plague cases across the Chinese border in neighboring Mongolia -- two cases were confirmed last week, and a suspected case was reported on Monday.
These cases prompted authorities in Russia, which borders Mongolia, to warn residents in the border area not to hunt or eat marmots meat, and take preventive measures against insect bites.
The Russian Embassy in Mongolia said "there are no grounds for serious concern" as the Mongolian authorities have imposed travel restrictions and isolated infected individuals, according to Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti.
The embassy also cited Sergei Diorditsu, a World Health Organization (WHO) representative in Mongolia, who reportedly said the province sees seasonal outbreaks of the plague, according to RIA Novosti.
"There are natural foci (the bacteria, an animal reservoir and a vector) of plague in Mongolia and the disease is spread by tarbagans (Mongolian marmots)," said the embassy.
"The problem is that local residents who, despite all prohibitions and recommendations of local authorities, continue to hunt them and eat them, as this is a local delicacy."

CREATINE X-CELL is a supplement containing three forms of creatine in a mix of ingredients that enhances the absorption and function of the creatine.
Its specific composition makes it possible to achieve results 500% higher than pure creatine. Why the CREATINE X-CELL is it more effective than other dietary supplements based créatiné first of All, it contains 75 g of dextrose and pure high quality. Studies show that this amount of dextrose allows for optimum efficiency of the insulin present in the body, thus ensuring a better assimilation of sugars. In addition, thanks to this insulin, creatine (in combination with other amino acids and minerals) is injected into the muscle cells. And so prevent the insulin does of fat cells in muscle cells, we supplemented the formulation with acid Alpha Lipoïdique. In addition, the L-glutamine and taurine( the amino acid most abundant in the muscle fibres) will increase the volume of the cells.

1967: ESA officially forms when NJ's Cecil Lear, CT's Rudy Huber and USSA Director Hoppy Swartz of CA organize the loose bands of contest organizers into a single association, placing seven districts from New England to Alabama.
Rudy Huber, a jet setting trust fund baby from Connecticut with connections to the world of international surfing got together to plot out the creation of what would come to be the largest and longest lived amateur surfing body, the Eastern Surfing Association. Backed by Hoppy Swarts, the "Duke" of competitive amateur surfing in America, and at a time when the dissolution of the original U.S. Surfing Association threatened to destroy the only coherent amateur surfing program in the U.S., Cecil and Rudy conceived the basic outline of an East Coast-based, East Coast-run surfing organization that would unite what were then a scattered group of little independent surfing "fiefdoms" which were emerging at that time up and down the East Coast.

HomeWhere's Waldo?
May 15, 2019 July 4, 2019 Anthony Grace "thePPRmonster"
Each year, once the fantasy football season is over the first thing we all look forward to is free agency and trades for the next season. We as a society of sports fans and fantasy players are obsessed with change, new places, and our athletes moving around and how that will impact the team they left almost as much as the team they join. With 2018 far behind us and the 2019 fantasy see on the horizon, it's time to look at who moved to a new team and how that will impact their fantasy status for this year! So, who moved and where did they go? Let's check it out in a piece I like to call "Where's Waldo?" I have also attached a "fantasy impact" number for each player from 1-10; with 1 being minimal-at-best impact to 10 being potential stud impact!
Blake Bortles Jaguars to Rams: Bortles was no longer needed in Jacksonville after the Jaguars signed Super Bowl 52 MVP Nick Foles to a four-year deal the off season (more on that shortly) and Blake decided to move out West and join the reigning NFC Champion Los Angeles Rams to back up Jared Goff. Barring injury to Goff it's unlikely we see much, if anything, from Bortles in 2019. If he does need to come into a game or two, Bortles is working with the best offense and coaching staff he has in his five-year career, and if called upon to take the reigns, Bortles can show up as he averaged 4,007 yards and 26 touchdowns in the three seasons he played all 16 games (2015-2017). Good choice at a back-up plan for McVay and the Rams, not much fantasy value for Bortles right now.
FANTASY IMPACT: 3
Ryan Fitzpatrick Buccaneers to Dolphins: After the Dolphins shipped Ryan Tannehill off to Tennessee they needed a veteran leader to come in and compete with Josh Rosen, whom they acquired from the Cardinals during the draft, and they may have signed the best journeyman signal caller of all time in Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick is coming off a season where he filled in for Jameis Winston in Tampa Bay to start the year and became the first QB in NFL history to throw for 400+ yards in three consecutive games; to go along with his 11TD to just 4INTs in those three games. Moving to Miami, however, is a step backwards in terms of the talent he will be working with. In Tampa he had Mike Evans, DeSean Jackson, Cameron Brate, and O.J. Howard to spread the ball to and DeVante Parker, Kenny Stills, and Mike Gesicki are nowhere near that talent pool. Miami now has a defensive head coach in Brian Flores and their new OC, Chad O'Shea, has been a wide receivers coach the last 13 seasons but has worked in New England the last 10 seasons with a guy named Tom Brady who makes all his receivers look like Pro Bowl players. Fitzpatrick and Rosen will battle it out in camp and if Fitzpatrick beats out the second year signal-caller, do I trust him as my fantasy quarterback? No, no I don't. He's not starting off 2019 with three games of 400+ yards. Someone in your league will see how he started hot last year and bite on that, let them, and get a QB you can use all year with confidence.
Joe Flacco Ravens to Broncos: Denver decided to move on from the one-year Case Keenum experiment to the Joe Flacco version. In the end it's not a downgrade, but is it really much of an upgrade? While Flacco may command more respect from defenses given his NFL track record and the kind of streaks he could go on, it's really not much of a difference from Keenum to Flacco. Flacco doesn't have many weapons to work with in the Mile High city. Demaryius Thomas was traded last year, Emmanuel Sanders will be sidelined for a big chunk of 2019, and the rest of the bulk of the receiving corps is entering year two (Courtland Sutton, Daesean Hamilton and Tim Patrick) and rookie tight end Noah Fans will need time to adjust to NFL life but he could be Flacco's biggest weapon. Phillip Lindsay, the team's most dynamic player-maker, is coming off a wrist injury and medical professionals say it may never be the same. The Broncos also drafted Drew Lock early in round two to be their future franchise guy, but will he beat out Joe to start week one this year? Highly unlikely, so for now Flacco is the starter, and even though he's a starting QB in the league that doesn't mean you should trust him as a starter on your fantasy squad week-in and week-out. Right now he's a bye week filler and match-up based QB at best.
Nick Foles Eagles to Jaguars: Don't let his 2017 playoff performance fool you into thinking Foles is worthy of being picked as your starting quarterback in the fantasy world. In a 2QB league, fine, use him as your second quarterback if you go other places early in your draft, but in single QB leagues he's a bye week fill-in at best. Foles is averaging under 200YPG and just over 1TD per contest with .5 INTs, or in terms of fantasy points 11 per contest. In perspective, last year only one QB in the top 30 averaged fewer points per game than the 11 Foles posts over his career, and even in the games he started in the regular season in 2017 and 2018 he only posted 9PPG. The Jaguars don't have nearly the same caliber offense as the Eagles, and while Fournette is a better back than any rusher he had behind him in Philadelphia, Ertz and Alshon were much better targets than anyone Foles will be throwing to in Jacksonville. I wouldn't draft him and would just scoop him up for a bye week or if my QB goes down and I need someone with a high ceiling.
Case Keenum Broncos to Redskins: Keenum was brought into Washington with Alex Smith out for 2019, and he should be the starter at the beginning of the year, but rookie Dwayne Haskins was a high draft pick and owner Daniel Snyder is an impatient guy and will want Haskins under center ASAP, especially if Washington starts slow with some sloppy losses in September and early October. Keenum has looked serviceable as a start his last two seasons with the Vikings and Broncos going for better than 3,500 yards each season and combined for a 40:22 TD:INT ratio. However, he had a ton of talent around him offensively in Minnesota and in Denver once Emmanuel Sanders went down, Keenum's numbers followed just as fast as Manny went down. Before Sanders was injured (11 games), Keenum had 5 games of 250+ yards with three over 300, as well as 5 games with multiple touchdown passes and just one game of multiple picks. After Sanders got hurt (5 games), Keenum had two games with over 250, none hitting 300 and two games of fewer than 200 yards, just a single game with multiple passing scores and two games of multiple interceptions. The top of the Redskins wide outs is Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson, yes Jordan Reed is in the fold which will help but he's an injury risk himself. I think Keenum has a rough year without the same talent level around him, he's not a game-changing QB, and Dwayne Haskins won't be waiting too long to see the field. I'd rather risk drafting Haskins in a deep league over Keenum.
Josh Rosen Cardinals to Dolphins: From a top ten pick in 2018's NFL draft to traded for a 2nd round pick. From the desert to South Beach; Rosen has been in the NFL for a year and has already had a wild ride. Since Arizona got a new head coach in Kliff Kingsbury with a different offensive mindset, the franchise thought taking Kyler Murray with the first overall pick would be best for them and the Dolphins swooped in during a moment of desperation and get Rosen for a steal. Miami needed a franchise QB and taking a chance on Rosen on a rookie deal is an excellent plan. Much like the Cardinals, the Dolphins are starting with a new regime so bringing in Rosen at this juncture makes perfect sense. Rosen didn't do much to write home about as a rookie in 2018 as he finished with 2,278 yards, 11TDs, and 14INTs in 14 games. His -3 TD:INT ratio was the worst among QBs who played at least 8 games, and his 8PPG were second worst among QBs to play at least 8 games. I'm not drafting Rosen in my redraft leagues this year, as Fitzpatrick should see some games to at least start the season but have Rosen on a bench in dynasty isn't the worst thing in the world. Miami has some young talent and is on the rebuild and could peak at the right time when Brady and the Patriots end their run. Rosen is young enough and if the team is built properly around him, he could be a diamond in the rough in dynasty leagues and in redraft leagues in the near future, just not in 2019.
Ryan Tannehill Dolphins to Titans: Tannehill was traded so the new Dolphins regime could start over and Tennessee stopping him up for a 4th round pick in 2020 wasn't a bad choice on their end. Marcus Mariota has not played a full NFL season since entering the league in 2015 and has thrown for over 20 touchdowns just once. Tannehill has more upside than Mariota in the passing department, and while Tannehill is slated to be the back up to Mariota, I wouldn't be surprised to see him starting at some point in 2019. He's a waste of a draft pick but if you get desperate in the QB department towards the middle or end of the season, Tannehill is a name to keep in mind that some people may have forgotten about.
C.J. Anderson Rams to Lions: Anderson had a fantastic run, pun intended, to close out 2018 with the Rams after Todd Gurley missed the final two regular season games and the playoffs. Anderson had three straight games of 20+ carries, 120+ yards, and at least 1 touchdown in weeks 16, 17, and the Rams' first playoff match up. The season before Anderson led the Broncos backfield as he rushed for his only 1,000-yard season while he scored 4 or more touchdowns in three of his final four seasons in Denver. In Detroit we will see a RBBC with second year player Kerryon Johnson, Theo Riddick (who I think takes a step backwards this year), and Anderson. C.J. will have some value on his own but I trust him more as a handcuff to Johnson as it's Kerryon's backfield to lose control of. If Kerryon stays healthy, he can do it all, but Anderson will be worked into the line up in short yardage and goal line situations. Worth a late round flier and earlier than that if you snag Kerryon so he's cuffed up.
FANTASY IMPACT: 5.5
Le'Veon Bell Steelers to Jets: The biggest name to switch backfield is a guy who didn't see a touch in 2018 and that's stud back Le'Veon Bell. Is the Jets offense the Steelers? No, but they are up-and-coming with a talented QB in Sam Darnold with a year of experience under his belt plus some dangerous weapons in the passing game with Robby Anderson on the outside, the addition of slot receiver Jamison Crowder (more on him later), and sophomore tight end Chris Herndon. In the last three seasons he played at least 12 games, Bell rushed for better 1,250 yards and 7 scores while adding in at least 75 catches, 615 receiving yards, and 2 scores in the passing game. He will only be 27 years old this year and should have plenty to give with fresher legs this year than any other stud back in the league. New team, but we should see the same Bell in The Big Apple.
Tevin Coleman Falcons to 49ers: Coleman joins a crowded backfield out west after he moved from Atlanta to San Francisco this offseason. Jerick McKinnon is still listed as the top dog on the 49ers depth chart and will have first crack at the starting job in 2019 coming off his ACL tear before 2018 even kicked off. Coleman is used to being the guy to come in for some snaps and play a committee backfield from his days with Devonta Freeman in Atlanta. Last year Coleman set personal bests with 800 rushing yards and 32 catches as well as 5 receiving touchdowns. He did, however, have his fewest rushing scores (4) and receiving yards (276) since his rookie season in 2015. The 49ers backfield is crowded with McKinnon, Coleman, and Matt Breida not to mention Raheem Mostert who showed flashes of big-play ability in the few games he appeared in last season. Coleman has finished as a mid-to-low RB2 the last three seasons; RB18, RB22, RB18, so seeing him finish somewhere in that neighborhood once again wouldn't be shocking but the fact he's got more than just one back to compete with in The Bay Area makes his fantasy value much more murky (along with all the 49ers rushers).
Frank Gore Dolphins to Bills: Frank Gore is like the Michael Myers or Jason Voorhees of the NFL, no matter how much time passes or what happens to him the guy gets up and keeps playing! Gore will be 36, yes 36, when this season begins and while he's outrun Father Time longer than most NFL backs, but it looks like Gore is starting to slow down. Last year in Miami, Gore had his fewest rushing yards (722) since he was a rookie way back in 2005. It was also the first year he failed to score a rushing TD in his entire 14-year career while his 12 catches and 124 receiving yards were both the second fewest of his career. He was splitting time with Kenyan Drake down on South Beach and his trip to northern New York won't be much different as he has LeSean McCoy in front of him and a pass-catcher in T.J. Yeldon (more on him later) to take some of the weight off his aging shoulders. How much work Gore will get is yet to be seen but don't be surprised to see him get even fewer than 168 he got last year (fewest since his rookie season). He's one of the best rushers in 49ers history, he has the 4th most rushing yards in NFL history (just 522 ground yards from passing Barry Sanders for 3rd on that list) and seeing him have one more decent year before retirement would be a great story for the NFL. In the fantasy realm though, Gore doesn't hold a ton of value. Even if Shady has another down year or gets injured it's a RBBC with Gore and Yeldon at best and even then you have to figure the younger Yeldon gets the bulk of touches. Not worth drafting but let me be the first to say; Thank you Frank Gore for the hard work, timeless effort, and years of helping squads win fantasy championships since 2006.
Jordan Howard Bears to Eagles: You will notice a trend with the backs on this list as most are going to join a team that will use a committee and the Eagles are no exception, even with former Bear Jordan Howard joining them. Philadelphia has a few names already in place in Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood, and Josh Adams not to mention they drafted Miles Sanders out of Penn State in the 2nd round of this year's draft. All that being said, Howard is listed as the teams top back and when it comes to drafting I'd take Howard off the board before any other Eagles back. While his 180 points last year were the fewest he's produced in a season (11PPG), he averaged 12 per contest in 2017 and 15 per game as a rookie in 2016. Howard has two 1,000-yard seasons under his belt and he's found the end zone at least 7 times each of his three NFL years. He's caught no fewer than 20 passes in any season so he can do it all when called upon. Howard should have first chances at touches in every conceivable way and if he remains healthy there is a good chance he gets back to his rookie numbers when he finished as RB10. It's a committee but I see more clarity in Philadelphia than I do in San Francisco or other cities we will talk about coming up.
Kareem Hunt Chiefs to Browns: Hunt's legal troubles got him kicked out of Kansas City last year after week 11, but before that he was one of the elite backs in the league. He led the NFL in rushing yards as a rookie in 2017 (1,327 and finished 2018 with 824), he had over 375 receiving yards each of his two NFL seasons and scored 11 total touchdowns as a rookie and already had 14 scores before he was suspended last season. The dude is one of the most dynamic in the game so the Browns scooping him up to add to what should be a great offense already just makes them even more dangerous and for the price tag they can't go wrong if he needs to be cut at any point for any reason, but with Hunt being suspended for the first 8 games of 2019 I'd imagine the Browns hang onto him for at least the back half of this season to see what they got in him. The Browns already have Nick Chubb who emerged last year ending as RB18 despite starting just 9 games during the year, and he looks to be a work horse type guy and able to do it all. Cleveland also has Duke Johnson who is one of the best backs in the NFL in the passing game, so until Hunt is able to see the field Cleveland will be fine with their duo of Chubb and Johnson. Let's see how those guys play in the first half, if any injuries occur, and how long it takes Hunt to get back into football shape and acclimate with his new teammates. He is worth a late round pick-and-stash just in case and knowing how great he is on the field. His impact rating might look low but all factors considered I'd consider it at least fair if not better.
Mark Ingram Saints to Ravens: Ingram spent the last two seasons sharing time with the dynamic Alvin Kamara in New Orleans but now relocates to Baltimore where he won't have a ton of competition for reps in the Ravens backfield. Gus Edwards had a healthy 5.2YPC on 137 touches and a pair of scores as a rookie in 2018 so he should get some looks but for the most part Ingram will be the man in Baltimore. He was able to rack up two 1,000-yard rushing seasons in the last three, he's caught better than 45 passes in three of the last four, and has rushed into the end zone no fewer than 6 times in each of the last five seasons while ending at RB14, RB12, RB8, RB6, and RB32 (missing 4 games) in the last 5 years. Perhaps Ingram's biggest competition for carries will be QB Lamar Jackson. Last year Jackson began starting for the Ravens in week 11 and over the final 7 games of the season he ran for 556 yards and 4 scores ending the year with 697 on the ground with 5TDs; that was more rushing yards than LeSean McCoy, Kenyan Drake, Leonard Fournette, and new teammate Mark Ingram. Ingram may loose touches to Jackson, but Lamar and his coaches need to prep him this offseason to be more QB first and rusher second and if he can do that than Ingram can really thrive with the threat of Jackson's rushing ability on top of his improved passing game.
Ty Montgomery Ravens to Jets: After a big campaign in 2016 and the beginning of 2017, Montgomery has done much of nothing since week 4 of 2017. In the 14 games to end 2016 and begin 2017, he averaged over 14PPG with 10 games of 8+ points and 8 of those games racking up double-digit points. In the 17 games he appeared in since week 4 of 2017 he's averaged shy fo 6PPG with just six games of 8+ points and four hitting the 10+ mark. He's playing with his third team in the last two years and sits 3rd on the depth chart behind work horse Le'Veon Bell and Jets' vet Elijah McGuire. Barring some trick or gadget plays designed for him, Montgomery holds minimal, if any, fantasy value for 2019. Even if Bell goes down, McGuire would get the bulk of touches and the Jets would more-than-likely sign another back to slide into the mix.
Latavius Murray Vikings to Saints: With the previously mentioned Mark Ingram gone to Baltimore, the Saints brought in former Viking Latavius Murray to take the pound role and give a few breathers to Alvin Kamara during the course of a game. Murray has shown how dangerous he can be on the ground in Minnesota as he racked up more than 775 yards and at least 6 scores on the ground in three of the last four seasons, including his only 1,000-yard effort in 2015 when he started all 16 games for the Vikes. He's no slouch in the passing game either as he has better than 20 catches in three of the last four seasons. Ingram was able to have a career-year in 2017 with 1,124 yards and 12 trips to the end zone on the ground while adding in 58 receptions 416 yards through the air; and that was with Kamara in the line up as well. I think the Saints push Kamara to get more touches this year, but when Murray comes onto the field he will be the Ingram-type guy the Saints love to pair with a speedster and pass-catcher like Kamara. Murray might be the most needed handcuff in 2019, and he can contribute to your squad even if you don't get the chance to grab Kamara with a top 3 pick.
T.J. Yeldon Jaguars to Bills: Yeldon is joining the aforementioned Frank Gore in Buffalo to help back up and take some pressure of Shady McCoy; who will be hitting 31 years age before 2019 kicks off. With two 30-something backs in front of him, and the skill set he posses as a receiver, Yeldon could be in line for a bigger workload than most expect and could be the steal of the Bills backfield if all three guys get drafted in your league. Yeldon has shown he can run the ball with success; he racked up 740 yards on the ground as a rookie in 2015 and has been held under 4.0YPC just once in his four year career. As a pass-catcher, Yeldon is 1 of 11 backs who, in the last four seasons, has at least 220 targets, 165 receptions, and 1,200 yards through the air while his 30 games started are the 6th fewest on that list and he joins studs, some former, like David Johnson, Le'Veon Bell, Melvin Gordon, Todd Gurley, LeSean McCoy, and Christian McCaffrey along with other pass-catching specialist in James White, Theo Riddick, Duke Johnson, and Giovani Bernard. Yeldon might not be the name to make the biggest splash in moving teams, but his value for where he is drafted at (67th back off the board currently) and the points he has the potential to produce can't be overlooked.
Danny Amendola Dolphins to Lions: Amendola is moving from sunny Miami to snowy Detroit and reuniting with a familiar face in head coach Matt Patricia; whom he worked with in New England. Amendola spent his first season since 2012 away from Tom Brady last year and his numbers did hit a slight decline. He scored just once; fewest touchdowns since 2014, while his 59 grabs for 575 yards was respectable he averaged 8PPG; his 3rd worst output in the last nine years. He goes from a Ryan Tannehill/Brock Osweiler combo to Matthew Stafford, which is an upgrade. The problem is what kind of use Amendola will get with the Lions. Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones are ahead of him on the receiver pecking order, not to mention a trio of backs in Kerryon Johnson, Theo Riddick, and C.J. Anderson who can all catch, plus rookie tight end T.J. Hcokenson. Amendola should go undrafted, and unless you are in an extremely deep league or desperate situation, he won't see many rosters in 2019.
Cole Beasley Cowboys to Bills: Beasley is entering his 8th NFL season and playing his first year outside of Dallas, join the Buffalo Bills this offseason. Buffalo needs someone with some sure hands that Josh Allen can rely on and Beasley could be that guy. Beasley has caught 69% of his targets or better in five of the last six years. He's found the end zone at least three times each of the last five and went for four or more scores in four of those years. He's gone over 670 yards in two of the last three years as the Cowboys third or fourth option on offense and he's been able to hit double-digit yards per catch in four of the last five seasons. He's not the biggest name out there, but he should really give Allen another solid target and take some pressure off Robert Foster, who will be relied on as the WR1 in Buffalo in his sophomore season.
Antonio Brown Steelers to Raiders: There should be much needed to be said about Brown; he's got more than 100 catches, 1,275 yards, and at least 8TDs each of his last six seasons. He's been the top wide out off the board for what seems like forever, but should he be top dog at the position in your draft this season? I don't think so. His talent isn't in question, but his new situation in Oakland is. The Raiders aren't the Steelers. Brown won't have nearly the same amount of talent around him on the field or in the coaching staff to put him in the best position possible. Then there is the issue of the guy slinging him the rock. Derek Carr is far from being Big Ben. The last four seasons Roethlisberger is averaging 4,284 yards and 28TDs versus the 3,867 yards and 25TDs for Carr. In his five NFL seasons, Carr has never finished in the top 12 among quarterbacks while Ben has been top 12 three times in that period and top 6 twice. Carr has had just one wide out in his five seasons finish as a WR1; Michael Crabtree finished as WR12 in 2016. Here's how Carr's top two receivers have finished since 2015; WR16 & WR21, WR12 & WR15, WR31& WR35, and WR18 (which isn't accurate as Amari Cooper's numbers were boosted after his move from Oakland) & WR39. I trust Carr, and the Raiders as a whole, much, much less than I trust Big Ben and Pittsburgh. Also, let's note Brown's age as he will be 31 when the year begins, and in NFL history only 5 receivers have ever had at least 100 grabs, 1,275 yards, and 8 scores in a season after age 30 and only Brandon Marshall (2015) has posted those numbers since 2001. Brown is still going to be one of the first wide outs off the board, and he should be, but the days of him being the definite first one taken and guarantees of a top 3 finish are over.
John Brown Ravens to Bills: Brown joins the previously mentioned Beasley as new wide outs in Buffalo. He's shown big play ability in his first five NFL seasons in Arizona and Baltimore, and that is going to need to continue in Northern New York. On the plus side, Brown has had more than 13YPC in every single year and the two seasons he started double-digit games he had no fewer than 715 yards, with a 1,000-yard season in 2015, and he's gone for 5 or more touchdowns in three of his five NFL seasons. He gets peppered with targets having 95 or more looks in three separate seasons and average over 85 looks per year for his career. The bad news in all of this? His ability to reel in passes in less-than-average. He has a career catch rate of 50% while he was held under 50% in three seasons (38% and 43% the last two years) and has gone for better than 55% just once; 64% in 2015. He's got speed and vertical ability to blow the top off coverage, so he always has the potential for a deep touchdown, or at least a big yardage pick up, to help sophomore QB Josh Allen take some shot downfield throughout the year. If he had better hands and brought in more targets I'd like him more, but the numbers don't lie.
Odell Beckham Jr Giants to Browns: Odell Beckham Jr. leaving New York was the biggest surprise this offseason, it's something that was possible, but actually hearing that it went down was crazy enough. Hearing he went to Cleveland was even crazier. The Browns are showing that they want to give Baker Mayfield every single advantage he can have and are hellbent on surrounding him with the most talented players they can. OBJ joins one of his best friends and college teammate Jarvis Landry in The Dawg Pound, and while most receivers are divas who always want the ball, if two studs can get along and make it work it should be this pairing. Beckham is one of the most dynamic wide outs in the game today and, so far, NFL history. He is just one of three receivers to have at least 390 receptions, 5,475 yards, and 41 touchdowns to start his career (Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, Larry Fitzgerald, and A.J. Green). He's moved on from an aging QB in Eli Manning and an offense on the downslide to a QB who is on his way up in Baker Mayfield on an offense that should be one of the best in 2019 and the foreseeable future.
Randall Cobb Packers to Cowboys: Cobb had a solid four-year run from 2012-2015; take away his injury season of 2013 and he had over 800 yards each year, a 1,000+ one in 2014, and had at least 6 touchdowns all three years with a career-high in end zone trips with 12 in 2015. The last three years he's been less-than-useful having gone over 650 yards just once; 653 in 2017, and never topping 4 touchdowns. He hasn't played a full season since 2015 and now he's going from Aaron Rodgers to Dak Prescott. Prescott isn't a bad QB, but he is nowhere near the level that Rodgers is on. Dallas needed to replace Cole Beasley and Cobb was their best available option. We know he can produce, but will he have the opportunity to shine again? Amari Cooper and Dak already have a great connection, Zeke seems to be improving each year in the passing game, sophomore Michael Gallup is posed to take a step forward in 2019, and although Jason Witten won't be returning as the stud he once was, we already know Prescott trusts him enough to look his way over Cobb in most situations.
Jamison Crowder Redskins to Jets: Crowder actually moved onto a better situation going from the Nation's Capital to The Big Apple and joining the AFC team in New York. The Jets are one of the up-and-coming offenses to watch the year and Crowder coming to fill the slot role for Darnold and Gang Green is a solid signing by the Jets. Crowder has sure hands as he's reeled in better than 72% of the targets the came his way in four seasons in Washington. If he didn't miss 7 games last season, and didn't have to deal with a carousel of QBs when he was on the field, he was on pace for his third straight year with 60+ catches, 700+ yards, and at least 3 scores. Crowder will have better talent around him in Robby Anderson and Le'Veon Bell plus tight end Chris Herndon is rising at his position as well. I like this move for Crowder and Darnold as well as the rest of the Jets offense.
Devin Funchess Panthers to Colts: Funchess is going to LOVE his move from Carolina to Indy. He had a very talented QB in Cam Newton but Andrew Luck is a guy who will always look to pass first, which will benefit Funchess big time. He's a big boy who can throw his weight around on short passing downs and the red zone; Funchess has at least 4 touchdowns each of his four NFL seasons and 16 of his 21 total scores came in the red zone. He will also be the perfect compliment to the speedy vet T.Y. Hilton and new blood Parris Campbell. Tight ends Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle can clog the middle of the field and Funchess is going to in a ton of one-on-one battles on the outside all year. I already think Ebron is due to regress and I think Funchess will be the beneficiary to that. He's going to look like a much different player with Luck throwing him the ball.
Chris Hogan Patriots to Panthers: In the last three years he played with Brady and the Pats, Hogan has finished as WR60, WR63, and WR70. Now he joins Cam Newton and the Panthers and an offense that uses Newton and Christian McCaffrey and then has some other guys when they need them. Hogan has gone over 500 yards just twice in his seven year career, and has never hit 700 in a season. His only season with more than 40 catches was back in 2014, when he had 41 with the Bills. He's found the end zone at least three times in each of the last five years, so that's a plus, but otherwise he really isn't doing much. Not worthy of a draft pick at all and you need to be really desperate at wide out to even think about snatching him off the waiver wire.
Adam Humphries Buccaneers to Titans: Humphries moving from Tampa to Tennessee is a positive move for both himself as well as Marcus Mariota and the Titans offense. Humphries has seen an uptick in targets, receptions, and yards each of his four seasons, and while he's only had two years of multiple touchdowns, his five in 2018 marked a career-high. Humphries joins an offense with a smart QB in Mariota and outside threats in Corey Davis and rookie A.J. Brown who can both stretch the field and help Humphries continue to excel underneath like he did in Tampa Bay last year. He's worth a mid round pick in PPR leagues and could be a weekly WR3 or flex with solid production as he posted 10 games of 8+ points last season.
DeSean Jackson Buccaneers to Eagles: DJax is going back to where it all start in Philadelphia. He has been gone for five years, but his best days were in an Eagles uniform and he will be playing with Carson Wentz, the best QB to be throwing him the rock since Donovan McNabb. In six seasons with Philly, Jackson had five years over 900 yards and three 1,000-yard seasons. Away from The City of Brotherly Love he had two 1,000-yard seasons and didn't hit 800 in any of the other three. He had three years of 60+ receptions and three years of 6+ scores in Philly while have just one year with at least 6TDs and none hitting 60 grabs in Washington and Tampa Bay. Wentz and the Eagles finally get their deep threat added to one of the best offenses in the NFL and Jackson will benefit greatly from his move back home.
Seth Roberts Raiders to Ravens: Roberts moves from West coast to East coast and joins the Baltimore Ravens for 2019. Roberts has been a nice wide receiver in Oakland but he's not a guy you're drafting with hopes of plugging him into your line up more than just a bye week or in a very deep league. He's listed as the Ravens number two but rookie Hollywood Brown could jump Roberts in the pecking order plus new back Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards can both catch out of the backfield, oh and Mark Andrews was a top 20 tight end in target last year as well. Roberts has never caught more than 45 passes in a season, he yet to hit 500 yards, and hasn't scored more than twice in a season since 2016. The Ravens needed some wide receiver help to round out their depth chart but I wouldn't expect much out of Roberts, even with a fresh start.
Golden Tate Eagles to Giants: I am not the biggest fan of Tate this year. He's on his third team in two seasons, and outside of Detroit he has never excelled with monster numbers. He's posted five season of 800+ yards; one came in Seattle in 2013 while the other four, including his three 1,000-yard seasons, all came with the Lions. It was noticeable how comfortable he was with Stafford throwing to him as he split time between Detroit and Philadelphia last year; 44-517-3 in 7 games with the Lions while he posted 30-278-1 in 8 games with the Eagles. Now he moves on to yet another offensive scheme on a team which he will be expected to be the man at age 31. If OBJ was still in town and Tate was him compliment I would like him a lot more, but give his age, Eli slowing down, a less-than-stelar offensive line to give Manning time to throw, and how hard it was for him to adapt to a new system last year I wouldn't draft him nearly as high or expect nearly as much out of him as you did just two seasons ago.
Demaryius Thomas Texans to Patriots: Thomas was traded to the Texans from the Broncos half way through last year but his season ended with an achilles tear in week 16. He should be fully healed sometime late June/early July to participate in Patriots camp and get some work in the preseason. We've seen how great he can be, but will he be able to get back to that mountain top, even with Tom Brady slinging the rock to him? Thomas' best years came with Peyton Manning throwing to him. DT had one year without Peyton that he went over 1,000 yards; 1,083 in 2016, and caught at least 90 passes; 90 in 2016 as well. He never had more than 6TD grabs without Manning and all his numbers have declined each season since 2015. New system, third team in two years, 31 years old and coming off a serious injury from late last season; not to mention Julian Edelman and rookie N'Keal Harry will be ahead of Thomas on the depth chart (not to mention Phillip Dorsett and Bruce Ellington) plus James White who is basically a receiver himself. Can Thomas produce some decent weeks in 2019? Possibly, but he had just one game over 65 yards last year and found the end zone just twice since week 6 of 2018, so I don't have much faith in him, even with TB12 throwing him the ball.
Tyrell Williams Chargers to Raiders: Mike is the Williams that the Chargers hung onto this offseason and for good reason. Younger than Tyrell, not to mention a much higher ceiling. Williams stayed in state and in division going to rival Oakland for the 2019 season. The Raiders have a lot of changes at the wide out position and Williams will be the two behind AB. Williams has averaged more than 8PPG all four of his NFL seasons and hauled in better than 40 balls for more than 650 yards and at least 4TDs each of the last three years. He had a 1,000-yard season in 2016 so he has the ability to produce big weeks if he's on the field, which he wasn't nearly as much last year with a healthy Keenan Allen and Mike Williams to go along with Melvin Gordon who keeps improving as a pass-catcher. The Raiders don't have a tight end of note so the wide outs should see a healthy does of targets and with coverage rolling to Brown, Williams has a great chance to excel in his first season in the silver and black.
Jared Cook Raiders to Saints: Cook is coming off a career-year in Oakland and moving on to greener pastures in New Orleans. Think about it, if a mediocre quarterback like Derek Carr can help Cook reach top five tight end status, what is a guy like Drew Brees going to do? A guy who made Jimmy Graham an absolute stud at the position! In five seasons in NOLA, Graham averaged 77 catches for 950 yards and 10 scores, including four straight years of 80+ grabs, two 1,000-yards seasons, and three years of double-digit scores. I'm not saying Cook is Graham but I do believe Cook can have better numbers than he posted in Oakland last year (68-896-6). Huge leap for Cook, another guy to put around Brees to keep him looking young, and Cook's arrival will also have a positive impact on guys like Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara.
