Juggernaut Index, No. 32: The New York Jets

Source: Roto Arcade by Andy Behrens

The Juggernaut Index is our annual preseason ranking of NFL teams for fantasy purposes. Repeat: FANTASY PURPOSES. Here, we care primarily about yards and points. We’re not forecasting wins and losses. This isn’t your standard NFL power ranking. If a team’s roster features multiple upper-tier fantasy assets, that group will rank near the top of the J.I. If instead a team features nothing but fantasy drek, you’ll find ‘em near the bottom. Make sense? Great. Really, the J.I. is just a gimmick, a way to deliver team-by-team fantasy spin.

In the six years that I’ve been producing the Juggernaut Index for Yahoo!, there has never been a more obvious choice for No. 32. This year’s version of the New York

Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik said he believes CB Darrelle Revis (knee) will be ready for the start of the regular season but would not give a timetable for his return. 'Totally confident,' Dominik said. 'He's in great shape right now, he's running full speed, he's cutting, he's doing all the things we'd want him to do from a training standpoint, a rehabilitation standpoint.'
Huddle Up: Dominik hasn't had a doubt all along since swinging the blockbuster deal, and Revis looks as if he's on track to uphold the GM's faith.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers CB Darrelle Revis (knee) said he has made progress in his rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament but will not say if he thinks his knee is close to 100 percent. 'I cannot really put a number on it,' Revis said. 'I can tell it is getting stronger. ... I am out here running and cutting. Even in the weight room we are getting stronger. There is really no percentage on it right now, but I can tell I feel better than I did a couple weeks ago.' Revis said he still hopes to be ready for the start of the regular season and expects to play at the same level he did before the injury.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers DE Da'Quan Bowers has only recorded 4.5 sacks since he debuted in 2011. Head coach Greg Schiano said that he's banking on Bowers becoming an every-down option instead of a situational pass rusher. Bowers thinks that the way Schiano has drawn up the ways to use DT Gerald McCoy could draw significant attention, freeing up Bowers for more and better attempts at bringing down the opposing quarterback. The arrival of CB Darrelle Revis and FS Dashon Goldson should aid their coverage, which would translate to more time for Bowers to get into the backfield.

The defense is easy. I'm a veteran and some of the things we did in New York, coach Schiano does down here, too. I'm fine with that. I think the biggest thing is making sure I'm 100 percent when I step out there with the guys, my teammates, and we go out there and play some great football."

CB Darrelle Revis gets traded to Buccaneers, signs six-year, $96 million contract

Source: Fantasy Football Toolbox

So, is Revis Island now Revis Peninsula? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers traded for Darrelle Revis on Sunday, sending two draft picks to the Jets. Then, Revis and the Bucs came to terms on a six-year, $96 million contract that contains exactly zero guaranteed dollars. The much-discussed swap finally got done when the Buccanners agreed to send their 2013 first-round pick (No. 13 overall) and a conditional 2014 fourth-round pick to New York. That pick can become a third-rounder if Revis is still with Tampa Bay on the third day of the 2014 league year. Revis tore his left ACL last October, but his rehab is coming along well. There was a report from ESPN New York's Rich Cimini last week that Revis was quot;ahead of schedule" and had been cleared to

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have acquired CB Darrelle Revis from the New York Jets after he passed his physical.

The conditional pick will become a third-round pick if Revis is on the Buccaneers' roster on the third day of the 2014 league year. Shortly after, Revis signed a 6-year, $96 million deal with his new team.
Huddle Up: The daily drama and Revis rumor mill officially came to an end Sunday, as the Bucs finally made their move. Tampa did have to part with its first-round pick in Thursday's draft, but a healthy Revis will be more than worth it to a team which faces the likes of Julio Jones, Steve
