Fantasy football preview headlines this week’s Sports Illustrated
This week’s issue of Sports Illustrated is SI’s fantasy football preview, complete with 21 pages of player and team profiles, rankings and a five-minute guide to the season.
Four regional covers will hit newsstands and subscribers’ mailboxes, featuring Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown, Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, St. Louis Rams defensive end Robert Quinn and Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.
SI’s Austin Murphy profiles Brown, the undersized and underexposed wideout who, over the last two years, has been perhaps the NFL’s most productive wide receiver. Murphy profiles Brown’s path to the NFL, particularly his difficult upbringing in Miami’s Liberty City.
SI’s Joan Niesen has a feature on the Rams’ defensive line, arguably the league’s best—and its goofiest, smartest and most entertaining.
