NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Tuesday, May 26, 2026

Mason is characterized as an average interior rusher who provides no passing-game utility; over four seasons he has generated fewer than 40 targets, a brutal ratio that means he cannot play on passing downs. This limitation creates opportunity for De'Mond Claiborne in the Vikings backfield, as the offense will need a back who can contribute in the passing game.

Aaron Jones was not particularly efficient in his most recent season, posting one of his worst NFL campaigns by snap rate and yards per carry. His yards per game were the lowest since his rookie year; he increased passing-game usage but his yards per target dropped to 4.9. Game logs showed inconsistent production, exemplified by a 14-carry, 7.6-point outing. At 31 years old, the source questions his value to the Vikings and suggests the team may move on, creating opportunity for De'Mond Claiborne.

Claiborne was the fastest player in college football in 2026 per NCAA ratings and one of the best kick returners, posting a 101-yard return in under 5 seconds. He lands with the Vikings—a team the source likes—behind two aging veterans: Jordan Mason (an average interior rusher with no passing-game utility; fewer than 40 targets in four seasons) and Aaron Jones (inefficient last season with 4.9 yards per target and a 14-carry, 7.6-point outing; lowest yards per game since his rookie year at age 31). Claiborne has the physical tools to impact the running game and will be the primary kick returner, a path to early playing time similar to Isaiah Pacheco's success with Kansas City. The source anticipates Claiborne could earn 5 rushes and 1 target in his first NFL game and is currently undrafted in most leagues, making him a waiver-wire priority.

Spears came into the NFL without ACLs and has managed to stay healthy in chunks of his career, though he has not been a model of health overall. The source views him as unlikely to be part of the Titans' next winning roster, suggesting limited long-term role security despite his durability relative to his injury history.

At 28-30 years old, Pollard is entering the age bracket where ankle injuries and decline become expected for running backs. The source views Pollard as unlikely to be part of the Titans' next winning roster, suggesting his role and opportunity will diminish as the team pivots toward younger prospects like Nicolas Singleton.

Singleton was likely undervalued in the 2026 NFL draft due to a foot injury at the Senior Bowl that prevented him from running the combine; the source estimates his RAS would have been ~9.8 had he competed, comparable to Mike Washington Jr.'s athletic profile. Landing with the Titans—a team expected to run the ball frequently—Singleton has a clear path to playing time as Tony Pollard ages into the injury-risk bracket (28-30 years old) and Tyjae Spears has durability concerns. The source projects Singleton as a core part of the Titans' next winning roster alongside Carnell Tate and Gunner Helm, and explicitly recommends drafting him as the literal last player on your roster in home leagues to monitor his backfield opportunity.

Day-three RB prospect with breakout potential contingent on a Titans youth movement scenario. Singleton broke out as a true freshman at Penn State but ceded work to Keaton Allen over time while contributing as both rusher and pass-catcher. Mattek Fantasy Football argues Singleton could be a real breakout if the Titans pursue a youth movement (trading/benching Calvin Ridley, out-targeting Wan'Dale Robinson with Cordarrelle Tate, developing Gunner Helm and Kam Ward). Singleton was likely undervalued in the 2026 NFL draft due to a foot injury at the Senior Bowl that prevented him from running the combine; the source estimates his RAS would have been ~9.8 had he competed, comparable to Mike Washington Jr.'s athletic profile. Landing with the Titans—a team expected to run the ball frequently—Singleton has a clear path to playing time as Tony Pollard ages into the injury-risk bracket (28-30 years old) and Tyjae Spears has durability concerns. The source projects Singleton as a core part of the Titans' next winning roster alongside Carnell Tate and Gunner Helm, and explicitly recommends drafting him as the literal last player on your roster in home leagues to monitor his backfield opportunity.

Keeton Mitchell is the source's favorite sleeper RB combination of talent, offensive situation, contingency value, and stand-alone role in the Chargers' McShanny-style zone run scheme. The source projects Mitchell at 10.3 fantasy points per game with potential for nine-carry, 68-yard, touchdown-style games. Mitchell has ADP of 144 on Underdog and is likely undrafted in 10-team leagues and a 14th-15th round pick in 12-team leagues. The source emphasizes Mitchell as one of the most important guys to roster and the definition of a sleeper RB this season.

Top-five in rushing yards over expectation in 2023 before knee injury. In 2025, Ravens coaching staff clearly wanted to use him despite his size limitations on passing downs and competition from Derrick Henry. Now with the Los Angeles Chargers, he shares a backfield with Damarion Hampton, a top first-round pick who was one of the worst pass-protection RBs in the NFL and lost passing-down snaps to Ke'Shawn Vaughn, fullbacks, and tight ends. Mattek Fantasy Football projects Mitchell at 10.3 fantasy points per game with potential for nine-carry, 68-yard, touchdown-style games. Mitchell has ADP of 144 on Underdog and is likely undrafted in 10-team leagues and a 14th-15th round pick in 12-team leagues. The source emphasizes Mitchell as one of the most important guys to roster and the definition of a sleeper RB this season; he is the Devon Achane to Hampton's Raheem Mostert in the Chargers' McShanny-style zone run scheme.

Undrafted free agent who started in his first NFL game and finished 2025 as RB7 in week 17 with 105 rushing yards and 2 TDs against Dallas. Now going at pick 114 on Underdog and even later on ESPN/Sleeper mock drafts, despite strong 2025 finish. With Chris Rodriguez departing and Rashad White expected to play the Austin Ekeler third-down role, Croskey-Merritt is positioned to retain the starting role he earned. Ke'Shawn Allen is the only meaningful competition, but Mattek Fantasy Football views Croskey-Merritt as a better distance runner and home-run hitter. Recommended as a premium target on zero RB and hero RB team constructions, with potential to finish inside the top 24 RBs in week one projections.

Likely can get off to a very fast start and has unknown upside, making him a legitimate pivot away from Kittle.

Kittle is expected to miss the beginning of the year, limiting his early-season fantasy value.

Likely can play off-script during Jackson Dart's scramble moments and serve as a safety valve for the young quarterback, especially when Nabers is banged up.

Tracy is a backup running back in the Giants passing game who could get targeted if Scarabou is injured.

Slayton remains in the Giants offense and will compete for targets alongside new wide receivers and other pass catchers.

Fields is a new wide receiver in the Giants offense who will compete for targets alongside other pass catchers.

Mooney is a new wide receiver in the Giants offense who will compete for targets alongside other pass catchers.

Likely is a healthier player compared to Kittle, who is coming off a torn Achilles.

It's feeling more and more likely that Malik Nabers is going to spend some time on the PUP list at the beginning of the year.

Likely is positioned to lead his team in targets, or finish number two behind Malik Nabers, giving him significant target share potential.

Likely is going at 133 overall in Underdog Best Ball ADP, 15 spots cheaper than Kittle at 118 overall, making him a better value proposition.

John Harbaugh's goal for Likely last year was to finish as All-Pro, not just Pro Bowler, suggesting high expectations for his performance.

Likely signed a big free agent contract with the Giants and his old head coach John Harbaugh; at 26 years old, it feels like this will be his breakout year after years of waiting.

Evans' addition to the 49ers could be an annoying presence for George Kittle fantasy managers, potentially competing for targets in the offense.

McCaffrey's health is solid heading into the season.

McCaffrey is described as a 'freak show' with the ability to get 100 passes again, demonstrating absolute freak volume potential.

Kittle was top three in tight end points per game last year, but the analyst feels it's more dangerous to draft him at tight end nine overall this year.

Kittle tore his Achilles in the playoffs last year and is turning 33 years old, which creates health concerns heading into the season.

George Kittle tore his Achilles in the playoffs last year and is turning 33 years old, making his TE9 ADP feel more dangerous despite being top-3 in TE PPG last year.

Xavier Williams is a year older in Green Bay and could receive some manufactured touches, but shouldn't significantly affect Josh Jacobs' role.

Jayden Reed is returning to Green Bay, which could create manufactured touches for WRs, but shouldn't significantly affect Josh Jacobs' role if healthy.

MarShawn Lloyd is being used as a handcuff RB in Green Bay behind Josh Jacobs.

Chris Brooks is being used as a handcuff RB in Green Bay behind Josh Jacobs.

Green Bay made no effort to replace Emanuel Wilson, instead using Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd as handcuff RBs, which supports Josh Jacobs' role security.

Brashad Smith, a former wide receiver now in year two at RB for Kansas City, had 25 receptions last year and could limit Kenneth Walker's pass-catching ceiling.

Zachariah Branch is a rookie WR for Atlanta who could punch above his weight, but even if he has a strong season, he won't significantly affect Drake London's target share.

Kyle Pitts will be in a high-volume targeted role in Atlanta, but Drake London benefits from the lack of a strong wide receiver two threat.

Bijan Robinson will get high volume in Atlanta's offense, which limits target share available to Drake London.

Javonte Williams in year two is receiving some touchdown equity in Dallas, which limits target share available to CeeDee Lamb.

Jake Ferguson is receiving some touchdown equity in Dallas, which limits target share available to CeeDee Lamb.

George Pickens outscored teammate CeeDee Lamb last year, averaging 18.5 PPG, which raises questions about Lamb's WR1 overall ceiling at 9th overall ADP.

The analyst is fading Gus Edwards, preferring Kenneth Gainwell as a pass-catching running back option at a much cheaper price tag.

J.K. Dobbins faces competition from R.J. Harvey and Justice Hill in Denver's backfield, with Justice Hill being more of a threat to Dobbins' role than Harvey.

Kenneth Gainwell at 116th overall (RB38) is a better value than R.J. Harvey at 84th overall—he had a career year with 73 receptions, 8 TDs, and 13 PPG last year, and could maintain a major receiving role in Tampa Bay.

R.J. Harvey at 84th overall (RB31) is overpriced relative to Kenneth Gainwell—Harvey had 47 receptions as a rookie but faces competition from J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hill.

DeAndre Swift at 53rd overall is a safer pivot than Bucky Irving at 45th overall—he's had 3 straight seasons of 959+ rushing yards, averaged 14.5 PPG last year, and is in a better offensive situation with Ben Johnson in year two in Chicago.

The analyst is actively avoiding Bucky Irving at 45th overall due to ongoing shoulder issues, a new offensive coordinator (Zac Robinson), and concerns about regression despite his strong early-season volume last year.

Josh Jacobs at 16th overall (vs Kenneth Walker at 10th) is a better value—he's been the focal point of LaFleur's offense with 28 rushing TDs and 2,200+ rushing yards over 2 years, and Green Bay made no effort to replace Emanuel Wilson.

Kenneth Walker is being drafted at the back of round one/early round two, but the analyst worries about his ADP price tag despite liking the player, noting he's never had a 300-touch season and faces competition from backup RBs Emmit Johnson and Brashad Smith.

Drake London at 19th overall is a better pivot than CeeDee Lamb at 9th overall—he's 3 years younger, averaged 16.5-16.8 PPG, and had multiple weeks as WR1 overall (weeks 6, 9, 10 with 24+ points each).

CeeDee Lamb is being drafted at 9th overall, but the analyst questions whether he'll be WR1 overall and notes he was outscored by teammate George Pickens last year despite being a mega target earner.

Analyst believes his elite RB11 rookie stretch is in the rear view due to shoulder injuries and Buccaneers offense not projecting as well as during that period.

Backfield competition increased with Rashad White upgraded to Kenny Gainwell and Shawn Tucker still the biggest guy in the backfield, reducing Irving's role.

Massive regression from rookie year; finished 61st-65th in yards per carry, 64th in EPA per carry (only Alvin Kamara worse), and lost goal-line carries to Shawn Tucker.

Analyst dropped him to 59th overall, viewing him as a flex play rather than RB1, due to poor 2024 performance and injury concerns.

Not cleared from offseason shoulder surgery suffered last year; head coach Todd Bowles stated he's expected to return 'sometime during summer or fall,' creating uncertainty.

With Lamar Jackson active, he was WR10 on per-game basis with 29% target share, showing elite production when healthy.

Both analysts agree he has upside versus current ADP at WR17-WR18, with potential to finish as a top-10 wide receiver if he catches 8-9 touchdowns.

Red zone target share dropped 13% outside the red zone (28%) compared to inside (15.7%), likely due to his 5'8", 183-pound frame limiting goal-line opportunities.

This could be his best season yet with career highs in receptions and yards per game last year, plus Lamar Jackson returning to health.

Had 23 red zone targets in 2024, significantly more than Z Flowers (13), giving him superior touchdown upside in half-PPR formats.

Finished as WR1 on per-game basis in 2024-2025 despite total points ranking lower, suggesting better week-to-week consistency than peers.

Analyst expects Wilson to maintain elite target share and production despite new receiving competition, projecting him as a volume hog in an improved offense.

Despite offseason expectations about increased receiving role, he only caught 1 receiving touchdown last year and hasn't materialized as a pass-catching focal point.

Signed long-term extension after being tagged, signaling team commitment and reducing competition from Isaiah Davis and Berlin Allen.

Only had 4 inside-the-5-yard-line carries all of last season, raising concerns about goal-line work and touchdown upside.

Analyst ranked him RB17-RB18 due to Jets being projected for second-fewest points per game (18.6) and Frank Reich's concerning coaching history with mid-season firings.

Analyst has optimism that this is the most talented offense Hall has been part of, with better quarterback play and offensive line investment than recent past.

His 874 rushing yards projection is too low; analyst believes he has top-12 upside despite being drafted in the third round.

Saints have elite offensive line with first-round tackles and strong guard play, plus Kliff Kingsbury's offenses consistently rank top-3 in pace regardless of team.

Minimal backfield competition with Alvin Kamara likely to retire or be released, leaving only Devin Neil, Ty Chandler, Kendry Miller, and Audrey Estay behind him.

Analyst bumped him up after research, projecting him as a top 12 fantasy running back this season due to elite offensive line, strong coaching, and minimal backfield competition.

Jonah Coleman (RB, DEN) is #189 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 151.8 with a 121-point projection. Verdict: Master of none RB profiles as irrelevant Payton's RB3. He was my 100th overall player in the class, profiling as competition in either phase of the game. Coleman is a trusted between-tackles rusher who hits the hole on time and with a low center of gravity. What he does in the open field is below average, but he is the type of player that a conservative coach gravitates towards.

Omar Cooper (WR, NYJ) is #167 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 141.2 with a 129-point projection. Verdict: Overrated Round 1 prospect on projected bottom-5 offense. I never understood the top-25 love. Cooper was out-produced by Elijah Sarratt over the past two seasons, and he wasn't a high-end recruit or early declare, so the analytical profile was underwhelming. On film, Cooper did break some crazy tackles as a primary underneath/slot player, but he wasn't a stand out route runner or ball winner.

J.K. Dobbins (RB, DEN) is #103 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 103.6 with a 147.2-point projection. Verdict: Dobbins faces too many Qs to target in sure-fire committee offense. Dobbins likely would've been a top-10 RB throughout his NFL career had he not dealt with these injuries. Unfortunately, a broken foot in 2025 is yet another major injury to factor into his upcoming age-27 season. Dobbins was the RB25 on RB29 usage through 10 weeks as the Broncos' clear top option.

Makai Lemon (WR, PHI) is #92 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 72.5 with a 161-point projection. Verdict: Has to be elite right away to overcome Eagles low-volume pass offense. J. Brown will be traded after June 1st (likely to the Patriots), and there's no real competition for Lemon to be the sidekick to DeVonta Smith. Lemon will play the slot in 3-WR sets, but he should beat out Marquise Brown and Dontayvion Wicks in 2-WR sets, too, even if that doesn't happen in Week 1.

Jordyn Tyson (WR, NO) is #91 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 63 with a 165-point projection. Verdict: Full PPR flex option if he and Tyler Shough pan out. Boom bust.. With draft capital baked in, Tyson pops in as a 95th-97th percentile WR prospect in my model, depending on if you want to discount it some given the bad class. His odds of fantasy relevance are high for as long as that near knee dislocation and lingering hamstring don't pop up again. Tyson is a salesman route runner, particularly underneath and intermediate, and can haul in some acrobatic catches with his loose athleticism.

Parker Washington (WR, JAX) is #80 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 69.5 with a 156.2-point projection. Verdict: Washington is a small sample size sleeper in his age-24 season. Washington's first game as a near full-time player was in Week 7. From that point on, he was PPR's WR18 on WR15 usage and a 21% target share (WR21). That was a full tier above Brian Thomas Jr.

Brian Thomas (WR, JAX) is #71 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 62.7 with a 152.9-point projection. Verdict: Complicated Jaguars WR rotation in a TE-heavy scheme. Brian Thomas wasn't traded, but the Jaguars seemed hellbent on changing their style of offense this year by spending their lone 2nd-round pick on an old blocking-only tight end in Nate Boerkircher. With TE Brenton Strange already established, the only way to get their top investment onto the field is by the 2- and 3-TE sets taking the league by storm. That comes at the expense of WR snaps and targets, and it's unclear who even would be playing in 2-WR sets between Thomas, Parker Washington, Jakobi...

David Montgomery (RB, HOU) is #57 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 49.8 with a 182.4-point projection. Verdict: Montgomery projects as a flex play in below-average Texans O. Montgomery was traded for to be the Texans starter. He will be. But that doesn't mean he's going to be a bellcow with Woody Marks available to spell him on passing situations.

Davante Adams (WR, LAR) is #51 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 51 with a 155.7-point projection. Verdict: Adams is the most boom-bust WR3 of 2026. Adams had the most ridiculous red zone WR season of 2025. 76 touchdowns per game inside the 20-yard line on a 27% target share. Only Amon-Ra St.

D'Andre Swift (RB, CHI) is #48 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 51.7 with a 177.4-point projection. Verdict: Swift should repeat as fantasy RB2 in a top-10 Bears offense. Swift was half PPR's RB15 on RB18 usage last season when the Bears were 9th in points per game. In 2026, Chicago is projected for the 10th-most points with room for growth if Caleb Williams and coach Ben Johnson take that next step. Swift's film was more consistent than it was earlier in his career, even if there's a clear give and take with his approach.

Terry McLaurin (WR, WAS) is #45 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 45.6 with a 165.6-point projection. Verdict: McLaurin is the WR14 per-game with Jayden Daniels since 2024. McLaurin has 23 games with Jayden Daniels. He's the WR14 on WR26 usage on a per-game basis using PPR scoring with him, while obviously running pure on touchdowns. Since then, the Commanders have lost Deebo Samuel and Zach Ertz, replacing them with Chig Okonkwo, 3rd-round rookie slot/Z Antonio Williams, and maybe Brandon Aiyuk if the 49ers release him from hostage.

Garrett Wilson (WR, NYJ) is #36 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 39.3 with a 188.1-point projection. Verdict: Wilson projects as a WR2 despite FUD of (overrated) new target comp. It's never easy for Wilson to score fantasy points. It comes with the territory as a Jet. 2026 is likely to be no different with Geno Smith aging, OC Frank Reich coming off 3-straight incomplete seasons as a coach, and with multiple 1st-round picks spent on pass catchers this offseason.

Breece Hall (RB, NYJ) is #31 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 27 with a 199.6-point projection. Verdict: Hall is a 24yo bellcow, just on the No. 31 projected OFF. 5M APY) to be the Jets bellcow back. 6 points per game in the betting markets. That's 31st.

Travis Etienne Jr. (RB, NO) is #23 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 29.5 with a 195.9-point projection. Verdict: Etienne is the buy to take advantage of slept-on Saints O. Etienne has cleared 1,399 total yards in 3-of-4 NFL seasons, and his lone miss was when unhealthy with coach Doug Pederson. Quietly, this is Etienne's best environment he's ever been in for fantasy points. Coach Kellen Moore has been functional at every stop, including in his head coaching debut last year with emerging QB Tyler Shough.

Joe Burrow is projected to have significant upside, potentially scoring around 27 fantasy points per game, making him a top option at his position.

David Montgomery is seen as a low-end number two running back with the potential for 1,000 yards and 8 to 10 touchdowns, making him a worthy pick in round five.

Colston Loveland could emerge as a top tight end in fantasy, with a potential for 10 targets per game based on his recent performance.

Drake May had an impressive second year with a 72% completion percentage and 8.9 yards per attempt, but still fell short of Lamar Jackson's best seasons in terms of fantasy points per game.

Lamar Jackson has the potential to be the top quarterback in fantasy, with projections of 29 to 31 fantasy points per game, significantly outpacing Josh Allen's recent averages.

Luther Burden has the potential for significant growth in his role, especially with vacated targets from DJ Moore.

Zay Flowers is projected to have a breakout season with increased opportunities in the Baltimore offense.

Javante Williams is expected to have a significant role, but there are concerns about his usage in the passing game.

Chris Olave is expected to have a strong season, with a good chance to command a significant target share.

A.J. Brown's elite status is being questioned, but he still has the potential for a strong season with a new quarterback.

Malik Nabors is currently injured, which raises concerns about his ability to contribute early in the season.

Kyron Williams has significant upside, especially with the Rams' high number of carries from close range last season.

Jeremiah Love is viewed as a talented rookie with the potential to lead his team in total yardage, despite concerns about his touchdown opportunities.

Kyron Williams has a clear path to increased touches and touchdown opportunities, making him a strong candidate for a breakout season.

Dalton Kincaid is feeling healthy and had an impressive efficiency last season, suggesting he could be a valuable asset if he stays on the field.

Tyreek Hill's recovery from a severe leg injury may delay his return until midway through the season, raising concerns for fantasy managers.

Matthew Stafford's contract extension through 2027 solidifies his position as the starting quarterback, which bodes well for the Rams' offensive potential.

Colson Loveland's potential to hit 14 or more PPR fantasy points per game hinges on his target share, with expectations around seven to eight targets per game.

Jordan Mason continues to be a player who does not fit the analyst's process well, similar to his performance last year.

Ja'Cory Krosky-Merritt did not have a well-rounded receiving profile as a prospect, and this lack of development translated poorly in his first year.

Blake Corum looks like a split backfield running back who won't see a significant increase in receiving work, making him a less appealing option in managed leagues.

Travion Henderson has run 238 routes with a low efficiency of 0.93 yards per route run, indicating room for improvement in his receiving game.

Travion Henderson had a yards per hour run of 0.93, which is not alarming, but it indicates he needs to improve to be a reliable fantasy option.

Tony Pollard's yards per hour run was 0.68 last year, the worst of his career, making him a significant red flag for the upcoming season.

Javante Williams had a concerning yards per route run rate of 0.40 last year, raising red flags about his potential performance.

Chuba Hubbard had a yards per route run rate of just 0.79 last year, and historical trends suggest he is unlikely to see a high target share this season.

Jordan Mason had a poor yards per route run rate of 0.54 last year, and players below 0.7 have not hit a 10% target share since 2014.

David Montgomery had a strong yards per route run rate last year, making him an interesting target for the upcoming season.

Ramondre Stevenson had a resurgence at the end of the season after a mediocre start, but his role may be impacted by the addition of Travion Henderson in New England.

Despite the potential for a breakout, there are concerns about Isaiah Likely's historical performance and the competition for targets in the Giants' offense.

The addition of Isaiah Likely to the Giants raises questions about the target distribution, especially with other pass-catching options like Darnell Mooney and Malachi Fields.

When Isaiah Likely played as the primary tight end without Mark Andrews, he averaged 50 receiving yards and 12.5 fantasy points per game, indicating his potential for a significant role.

Isaiah Likely is viewed as a post-hype sleeper with the potential to break out, especially after signing a significant contract with the New York Giants.

The current ADP for Bucky Irving is concerning, as there are many potential pitfalls that could lead to disappointment this season.

With Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker on the roster, Bucky Irving faces competition for touches, particularly in the passing game and goal-line situations.

Last season, Bucky Irving's efficiency was significantly down, averaging only 3.4 yards per carry and ranking poorly among qualifying running backs.

Bucky Irving struggled with a shoulder injury last season and just had another procedure, which has left him less than 100% and could impact his performance this year.

Bucky Irving is seen as a wild card for the upcoming season, especially with Kenneth Gainwell joining the team. His previous injury and recent shoulder procedure raise questions about his role and effectiveness.

With an ADP of wide receiver 35, Michael Wilson is a low-risk pick that could provide value, especially considering his performance last year.

Michael Wilson had a breakout second half of the season, finishing as a top 10 fantasy wide receiver, showcasing his potential to be a significant contributor in the offense.

Despite concerns, there is a possibility that Kyler Murray could finish as a top fantasy quarterback if he throws 26 touchdowns and runs for 700 yards, but expectations should be tempered.

Kyler Murray's recent performances have been disappointing, with only two of his last twelve starts being satisfactory for fantasy purposes, leading to concerns about his potential as a fantasy quarterback.

Aaron Rodgers has indicated he may retire after the season, but his focus remains on winning a Super Bowl.

The Chargers' general manager stated that the door is not closed for Keenan Allen to return, which could complicate the depth chart.

Trey McBride's performance could be impacted by the uncertainty surrounding Jacoby Brissett's contract situation.

Jacoby Brissett is significantly far apart from the Cardinals on a reworked deal, which raises concerns about his leverage and future with the team.

Matthew Stafford signed a one-year, $55 million extension, solidifying his role as the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future.

Lamar Jackson and Jaden Daniels had very similar per-game performances last year, but Jackson has a longer track record of success in the NFL.

Jaden Daniels has a sleeper ADP of quarterback five, but concerns about his performance and injuries persist. He had a solid rookie year with 891 rushing yards and 3,500 passing yards, but his second season was plagued by injuries.
