People trying to figure out Marvin Harris Jr versus Michael Wilson.

Been struck by how much sharper the fantasy markets are getting at digesting previous year outlier production. Some examples from this year: 1. Matthew Stafford was fantasy's QB2 last season, and NFL MVP. Market bakes in regression on pass TD rate, going off board as QB14 now. 2. RJ Harvey goes for 12 TDs and 47 receptions as a rookie. Market understands JK Dobbins now ahead in base, Dobbins/Coleman ahead in pass pro. Going off board as RB31. 3. Michael Wilson goes 78-1006-7 last season. Mark...

Colts' Daniel Jones (Achilles), who signed a 2-year, $88M deal this offseason, says he's "cleared to do everything," per @​RomeovilleKid "I’m doing everything. Cleared to do everything. I think it’s just about, at this point, sharpening that."

.@​BleacherReport names Travis Hunter the Jaguars' most promising building block entering 2026. "He did show big-play potential as a WR, and he was mostly solid as a CB when tested. If he adapts quickly and can stay healthy, Hunter has the potential to be a true superstar."

On the Jaguars (more teams to post): Amazing article by Ted The running game left a to be desired even though Travis Etienne had nice numbers Based on the tape, Bhayshul Tuten displayed better feel for the zone run concepts, so I’m hopeful he will help improve the efficiency [Retweeted](

ICYMI - we were joined by @​AndyHermanNFL to discuss the Packers offense this coming season Is this the year Marshawn Lloyd stays healthy? He worked all offseason to put the past behind him. 🌐<https://t.ly/74TTG> 🎥<https://t.ly/7d6RA> 📷<https://t.ly/P69is>

One tidbit that stood out from Ryan's piece here. Jalen Hurts is efficient throwing to the middle of the field... when he does it. But is that because he only throws the "easy button" MOF passes? Ryan doesn't buy that argument. Excited to watch Sean Mannion's offense.

Christian McCaffrey played on 93% of the offense’s snaps that year, drawing 8.9 targets per game. Achane’s career-high snap share is 75%. His career-high in targets per game is 5.3. CMC isn’t a guy you should make comparisons to lightly

Chris Rodriguez is solid between the tackles but can’t often create explosives (middling 1.04 explosive rush yards/att, 1 career run of 30+ yards) and is a complete zero in the pass game (6 career receptions), making him extremely limited as a player (explosives are highly valuable) and to an offense (tough to disguise play-calling). Saying he’s objectively better than the clearly more dynamic/better RB prospect in Tuten (who does not have those limitations) feels “objectively” wrong. Especia...

In addition to showing the potential for being an elite blocker, in his last six games, Loveland led all TEs in yard per route run by a wide margin (2.42). [Quoted](

For me, Omarion Hampton just didn’t show enough as a rookie to be going as an early R2 pick. Was mostly inefficient even prior to his injury and the Chargers offense collapsing (outlier game against NYG) albeit on lower volume. Keaton very live to take a lot of the designed touches, screens, outside runs, etc. out of the backfield, and Vidal similarly so for passing downs (preferred in pass pro down stretch of last season).

“…but [Okonkwo] has stood out at times with at least 50 receptions in each of the last three seasons. The hope is that he can get more targets with the Commanders, who will lean more heavily on his ability to work in space and get open downfield.” @​ZachSelbyWC

“Such vigor was noticeable during OTAs and mandatory minicamp. On top of that, Bowers will be playing in an improved offensive system, orchestrated by coach Klint Kubiak, who has shown the ability to scheme the ball to his best pass catchers.”

Jordan Love lands at No. 72 on the NFL Top 100 list. Is that too low? 🤔

Article lists Goedert as league-winner TE; community does not contest. Appears to be consensus late-round TE value.

Article lists Nacua as league-winner WR; community does not contest. Appears to be consensus late-round WR value.

Mentioned in comments as 24-year-old RB with upside. However, PCL injury (no surgery) will result in pitch count similar to 2025 (38% snap share, career-high 63% in rookie year). Per-route/target efficiency is elite, but snap-share ceiling is hard-capped; improved blocking may help, but still not strong. Community view: viable dart throw at age 24, but volume ceiling limits league-winner potential.

Mentioned in comments as late-round RB consideration but community skeptical. White looked cooked in 2025; now in crowded backfield with running QB taking opportunities. stay away; not a viable late-round target despite improved offense narrative.

Not in article but highlighted in comments as overlooked late-round WR grab. Watson and Reed have injury concerns; Kraft coming off season-ending injury (reinjury risk). Golden has first-round draft capital, blazing speed, strong catch rate, and promising efficiency in rookie year (good playoff game vs. CHI). GB consolidated target share with Doubs/Wicks departures. Could be WR1 if Watson/Reed injured; available for free in final rounds. Upside-oriented dart throw.

Article lists Corum as league-winner RB; community rejects claim. Kyren Robinson is the locked-in starter and will not be displaced. Corum will not be a league-winner; Kyren's extension and consistent production make him the clear lead back. Corum hype is overblown; Kyren is the safer pick.

Not in article's top 5 but featured in comments as late-round TE value. When healthy: 1st in yards per reception (14.6 YPR), 3rd in YAC (6.7), 1st in passer rating when targeted, 2nd in average depth of target. Injury concern: same PCL injury as Bowers/London/Pearsall; likely pitch count early season, capped at 63% snap share (rookie high) or 38% (2025). Efficient per-route/target but volume ceiling is hard-capped by snap share. Community bullish on efficiency metrics; cautious on volume.

Article lists Willis as late-round league-winner; minimal community discussion. Appears in punt-QB strategy context (pairing with Kyler). No strong sentiment or evidence provided in comments.

Article lists Kyler as late-round league-winner; community notes high ceiling but volatile floor. Kyler's ceiling is elite but floor is dangerously low (scored <8 points in some weeks). Move to Vikings may improve floor safety vs. Cardinals tenure. Useful as late-round QB punt strategy paired with another QB (Willis), but risky as sole QB due to inconsistency. Some managers lost weeks due to floor volatility.

Article lists Dobbins as league-winner; community acknowledges upside but expresses durability fatigue. When healthy, Dobbins produces consistently and offers solid floor/ceiling. However, injury history is extensive: hamstring tear, LCL tear, ACL tear, Achilles tear, Lisfranc—essentially ran through entire leg-to-feet injury spectrum. RJ Rice is solid backup. Dobbins is 50/50 bet at best; draft late as value, trade around week 10 if healthy, but don't expect full season.

Article lists Pearsall as league-winner; community divided on injury risk vs. value. Pearsall had strong early-season games when healthy (PPR-friendly, good catch rate) but missed 3–8 games due to recurring injuries (three separate occasions in 2025). PCL injury same as Bowers/London/Pearsall's own prior issues. With Kittle, CMC, and Evans ahead in pecking order, ceiling is capped even if healthy. Cost is attractive but injury history and role depth make him risky hold; some managers love the value, others refuse to draft him again.

Article lists Gainwell as league-winner; community skeptical. Gainwell had 3x career-high targets in 2025 under Arthur Smith (Rodgers offense), but comments note he's been a career backup and needs Bucky Leonard injury or significant workload shift to be league-winner; likely 60-40 split favoring Leonard. At current ADP he's viable as cheap WR2 with upside, but not a league-winner without injury to starter. Rodgers' checkdown tendency may not sustain 2025 volume.

Bank on possible injury to Isiah Walker; if Walker goes down, Emmitt Johnson will have massive upside as the Chiefs' primary back.

Rookie at 190th overall with elite receiving skills (46 college receptions), explosive burst, and great vision; stash for massive upside if Isiah Walker gets injured.

Coming off a dislocated ankle (not a torn ACL), which is not serious; expected to be healthy and ready to go.

Top-5 to top-10 potential running back with expectations of 1,000+ rushing yards and double-digit touchdowns.

RB22 at 60 overall (4th-5th round ADP) represents great value for a workhorse back with top-5 to top-10 potential.

Hearing reports of integration but primarily in passing game and special teams, not expected to be a major factor in rushing workload.

Has RB1 top-10 upside despite being drafted as RB3-4; produced fantasy points even with Jameer Gibbs ahead of him in Detroit.

Signing with the Texans as the alpha dog; will be fed heavily as the primary back despite Woody Marks integration.

RB24 at 64 overall (round 3-4 ADP) offers excellent value as a workhorse and goal-line vulture.

11 touchdowns last year with 2 receiving; positioned to get goal-line work in Dallas offense with Pickens and CeeDee Lamb drawing coverage.

Dallas made him the alpha dog and main man; no other backs drafted, and he's the clear workhorse with goal-line work.

RB18 with 252 attempts last year at 48 overall (3rd-4th round ADP) represents great value for a workhorse back.

Should be the primary back with James Conner injury-prone, Algier added for depth, and Trey Benson not expected to be a factor.

Highest paid rookie running back of all time and drafted third overall, signaling strong organizational commitment.

RB12 projection with round 2 ADP (could fall to round 3) represents solid value for a potential explosive workhorse running back.

Still unbelievably athletic and very talented; his prime is going to extend much further than most players' primes.

Could still always run for 15 touchdowns with very reasonable price tag and very high-end upside if the Eagles offense can be league average.

Could literally finish with a top five target share this season with very reasonable price tag and very high-end upside if the Eagles offense can be league average.

A phenomenal pick to make at the one-two turn in drafts, as people who draft him at that spot are probably going to make the playoffs at a pretty high rate.

Very likely to have a high playoff rate over expectation due to the Eagles' easy schedule weeks 1-14, though he'll face tough matchups in the playoffs.

Should have a really nice bounceback season if the Eagles offense gets back on track, as he failed last season because of the offensive environment and not because he's cooked.

With Shawn Manion replacing Kevin Patulo as Eagles offensive coordinator, Dallas Goedert should see improved production as even minimal competence from the new coordinator would be an upgrade.

With Shawn Manion replacing Kevin Patulo as Eagles offensive coordinator, DeVonta Smith should see improved production as even minimal competence from the new coordinator would be an upgrade.

With Shawn Manion replacing Kevin Patulo as Eagles offensive coordinator, AJ Brown should see improved production as even minimal competence from the new coordinator would be an upgrade.

With Shawn Manion replacing Kevin Patulo as Eagles offensive coordinator, Saquon Barkley should see improved production as even minimal competence from the new coordinator would be an upgrade.

DeVonta Smith underperformed last season due to Kevin Patulo's terrible offensive playcalling, despite being a superstar on the Eagles offense.

AJ Brown underperformed last season due to Kevin Patulo's terrible offensive playcalling, despite being a superstar on the Eagles offense.

Saquon Barkley underperformed last season due to Kevin Patulo's terrible offensive playcalling, despite being a superstar on the Eagles offense.

Tony Pollard is getting drafted at a pretty strong discount right now, and with the offense likely to improve and stay on the field more, he had stretches last season where he was really good and is a great pick to make.

In a standard 10-12 team reddraft league, you don't need to draft Cam Ward even as a bench option; monitor him on free agency instead.

Cam Ward was a bottom three quarterback in pretty much every metric last season, but if Brian Dball can make him even bottom 10 (slightly below league average), that will be a very big upgrade for the offense.

Tyjae Spears is a fine later-round pick due to contingent upside from his potential receiving game role in the Titans offense, though he will mix in behind Tony Pollard.

Tony Pollard is the clear-cut best early-down running back on the Titans offense, and Brian Dball's tendency to force-feed his top targets means Pollard has significant upside to shatter his ADP if Cam Ward develops.

Carnell Tate is the clear-cut best wide receiver on the Titans offense, and Brian Dball's willingness to force-feed his top targets means Tate has significant upside to shatter his ADP if Cam Ward develops under Dball's system.

In standard redraft leagues (10-12 teams), Cam Ward should not be drafted as even a bench option due to the availability of locked-in quarterbacks, though he may be worth monitoring on free agency if he breaks out.

Brian Dball's hiring as offensive coordinator is a significant positive signal for Cam Ward's development, as Dball has a proven track record developing young quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Jackson Dart who weren't locked-in prospects but succeeded under his system.

Njoku is fine as a tight end option, but the analyst is not in love with him this season as he's not getting any discount and there are other tight ends with higher ceilings or similar floors going around him.

Cooper becomes a great last wide receiver in redraft leagues and has strong value in best ball formats, likely to ramp up and peak later in the season.

Cooper is the Browns' best wide receiver at getting open and could have a breakout season under Todd Monkin's offense, which pushes the ball deep downfield at a higher rate.

Jackson is referenced as a significantly better quarterback than Deshaun Watson or Shadur, highlighting the downgrade the Browns face at the position under Todd Monken.

Watson is likely to start the season for the Browns but is expected to play mediocre, representing a significant downgrade from previous Ravens quarterbacks under Todd Monken.

Harris is recommended as a best ball pick in round 17, though less suitable for classic 15-round redraft leagues, given the Chargers offense's upside potential.

The analyst currently prefers Chase Brown over Marvin Harrison Jr. in the second round, suggesting better value at that ADP.

The analyst prefers Harrison in the mid-second round rather than the early second round where he goes on some platforms, viewing his early-round ADP as slightly premature.

McConkey is an exceptional pick in round four despite the round being stacked with talent, offering great value in the Chargers' high-upside offense.

Mitchell is the analyst's top value pick from the Chargers offense, going in round 13 with strong potential value at that late ADP.

Herbert is an elite quarterback who will benefit from a now-healthy Chargers offensive line and Mike McDaniel's system, which historically produces high yards per attempt. The analyst projects Herbert will likely set a career-high in yards per pass attempt this season.

Herbert is an elite quarterback without concussion concerns like Tua, and with a now-healthy offensive line and plethora of skilled players, he can fully utilize Mike McDaniel's creative offensive scheme.

The Chargers' coaching change to Mike McDaniel and a healthier offensive line represent a huge upgrade from last season, with McDaniel's creative play-calling and motion-heavy schemes making the offense far more explosive and efficient.

McMillan and Naylor are more underdog/best ball picks in heavy sets, but in a traditional 12-team reddraft league with six bench spots, they're not worth drafting as they won't produce enough.

The Seahawks' new coaching staff and heavy offensive sets benefit the running game, and with Bowowers returning healthy, the offense becomes more efficient, which is a positive for Nabers' fantasy outlook.

White benefits from the coaching upgrade with Clint Kubiak, as the heavy two tight end sets will theoretically improve the running game over time, and he's getting Brock Bowers back healthy to reduce defensive focus.

Mayer is one of the best round 18 picks available on Underdog, as he will see significantly more playing time than expected in the Raiders' two tight end sets before the public catches on in August.

Bowers will operate as the Raiders' number one wide receiver in Clint Kubiak's heavy two tight end sets, giving him JSN-level upside at tight end with potential first-round value despite being drafted in the second round.

Jeremy McNichols is expected to be on the field in passing situations like third and 13, ahead of Croskey-Merritt.

Rachaad White is one of the best running backs in the league in the pass game, excelling at both pass protection and pass-catching, and also handles goal-line work well.

The upside case for Croskey-Merritt is that he's really explosive and could add pass-catching capability to be in the mix, similar to early James Cook, with potential breakaway rushing element if he secures the job.

Dan Quinn indicated the running back room is an open competition in training camp, with Ke'Shawn Allen also in the mix, meaning Croskey-Merritt's role is uncertain.

Even if Croskey-Merritt wins the job, he would likely be a two-down lead grinder without pass-catching ability or goal-line work, creating an ugly floor if other backs mix in.

Croskey-Merritt is called "the worst pick on the board right now" due to being a zero in the passing game, lacking a goal-line role, and facing competition from Rachaad White and Ke'Shawn Allen in an open running back competition.

Mark Andrews is ranked as the tight end 19 in the analyst's tier rankings.

With Likely out of the way, Mark Andrews should see more targets at the tight end position overall, and if buying a Lamar Jackson bounceback, Andrews has upside with an eight touchdown ceiling.

Jalen Coker is projected to be the second leading target in the Washington offense on paper, though this could change if Washington adds a second pass catcher like Diggs or Keenan Allen.

If buying a Lamar Jackson bounceback, Andrews has upside with potential for eight touchdowns.

With Isaiah Likely now out of the way, Andrews probably sees more targets at the tight end position overall.

Better player and fantasy player than given credit for; could be in the tier of Jake Ferguson and Brenton Strange, attached to an up-and-coming offense with a third-year QB who favors him in the red zone.

One of the more underrated tight ends in fantasy; last two years have been some of his best with high target counts, receptions, and yardage—two of his three best PPR seasons.

Was quietly awesome in PPR last year, but that was likely due to lack of other weapons; Jordan Tyson will eat significantly into his target share.

When both CD Lamb and George Pickens are healthy together, Ferguson falls off the face of the earth; he only thrived when receivers were injured.

Biggest concern is the crowded receiver room with Parker Washington, Jacobe, and Brian Thomas Jr. running routes over the middle, making him unreliable week-to-week despite high upside.

High floor tight end attached to a high upside offense with Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence; likely to produce 4 for 40 almost every week.

He's in the Mark Andrews mold where he won't be the same explosive player; he'll need to back into a high touchdown rate to be fantasy-relevant.

Torn Achilles at age 32-33 is much scarier than a torn ACL at a younger age; people who watched recovery videos are not overly optimistic about how he looks, which concerns the analyst.

While there's a world where Kittle scores eight touchdowns and looks fine, the analyst doesn't expect the same explosive player as before and thinks he'll need a high touchdown rate to be reliable, similar to Mark Andrews.

People who watched videos of Kittle post-injury are not overly optimistic about how he looks, which concerns the analyst given his age.

Kittle is ranked as tight end 13 with relatively optimistic injury reports, but a torn Achilles at age 32-33 is much scarier than Tucker Craft's ACL at age 25.

There is some risk with Likely since he has never been the guy for a full season or even for more than a few weeks at a time.

With the Giants' receiving group depleted (Malik Nabers injured, Wideout Jalen Hyatt gone), Likely is positioned to see a very high target floor right away.

Likely finally gets out from behind Mark Andrews, follows Harbaugh to New York, and will be used heavily with a contract to match, positioning him for a high target floor.

Kincaid is a great tight end in best-ball formats and the analyst will take shots on him in redraft due to his upside, youth, first-round pedigree, and connection to Josh Allen.

Kincaid was on the verge of a breakout last year and showed some really high ceiling games, but he doesn't run a ton of routes and is still only on the field for about 55-60% of snaps with Dawson Knox there.

At this point in his career, Kelce is probably going to need touchdowns to sustain any fantasy reliability, similar to Mark Andrews' current situation.

Kelce is tied to Mahomes and has the liability/upside to score around eight touchdowns in a season, which will be the difference in his fantasy reliability going forward.

Kelce is ranked as tight end 10 and was quietly really good for fantasy last year despite not scoring many touchdowns, but benefited from injuries to teammates like Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy.

Despite concerns about Tua's history with tight ends, Pitts will see approximately six targets per game given the Falcons have little else behind Drake London running routes downfield.

Goedert will likely be more volatile on a week-to-week basis with a lower weekly floor compared to other tight ends in his tier.

The Eagles got Goedert very involved in the red zone last year and he benefits from AJ Brown's absence, seeing a huge target share increase.

Goedert scored 11 touchdowns last year but is not a huge touchdown guy overall; his scoring is unlikely to repeat at that level.

Despite being injured, the analyst is 'pretty in on Craft this year' and would be 'ecstatic' to get him as tight end 6-8 in middle-to-later rounds because people are scared of the injury.

Craft is the most reliable piece for Jordan Love and was in full breakout mode before his injury last year, expected to pick up where he left off.

Green Bay's medical staff is notoriously cautious with injuries and won't clear players until 100% confident. If Craft is good to go for the start of the season, that validates his health status.

Tucker Kraft is an exception to the analyst's usual rule of avoiding injured players; he would be ecstatic to have him as a tight end six, seven, or eight in drafts.

Tucker Kraft was in full breakout mode before his injury last year and is the most reliable piece for Jordan Love; the analyst expects him to pick up where he left off.

Tucker Kraft is coming back from a significant ACL tear at age 25, and the data favors young players recovering from such injuries; Green Bay's medical staff is known for taking their time and won't clear him until 100% confident.

Sam Laaporta is a boring veteran who will likely drop to tight end 8-10 in drafts but provides reliable production and can be set-and-forget in lineups.

Sam Laaporta is a reliable tight end who will be the clear number two in the Lions passing game behind Amon-Ra St. Brown; he should be fully healthy by training camp with no residual effects from his back injury.

While Fannon is an explosive pass-catching tight end ranked as tight end five, the analyst is concerned about attaching to the Cleveland Browns passing game, which may not throw for more than 3,000 yards with multiple new receivers drafted.

Daniel Jones' injury and limited mobility should not significantly impact Tyler Warren, who plays around the line of scrimmage rather than running deep routes like Alec Pierce.

Tyler Warren was phenomenal as a rookie and as good as any rookie tight end in previous years; he needs a spike in touchdowns to reach his ceiling.

With Michael Pitman out of the way and Alec Pierce potentially missing time with an ankle injury, Tyler Warren could command a 25-30% target share in the Colts offense.

Analyst believes Loveland will be the best player in the Bears offense in 2026, with an incredibly high ceiling given Ben Johnson's handpicking him as a top-10 pick and his strong rookie performance with Sam Leaport.

Daniel Jones coming off an injury is a concern that could affect Tyler Warren's upside, though the analyst is uncertain how much it really impacts him.

With Michael Pitman out of the way, Tyler Warren stands to gain significant target share impact, and the removal of Pitman is a major positive for Warren and Josh DS.

Analyst believes Loveland ends up being probably the best player in the Bears offense in 2026, with an incredibly high ceiling given Ben Johnson handpicked him as a top-10 pick and his track record with Sam Leaport.

Main hesitation on Loveland's upside is whether the Chicago Bears passing offense can top 4,000 yards and support multiple weapons eating.

Loveland was dominant in the second half of last year in targets per route run and yards per route run, becoming the centerpiece of the Bears passing offense, with potential for explosive year-two growth.

Questions remain about whether the Cardinals will pass the ball as much as they did last year, with Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison, and QB uncertainty (Jacobe Brassette vs. Carson Beck) creating potential regression risk.

McBride is ranked as tight end two by both the analyst and ADP, coming off one of the best fantasy seasons of all time.

With Kirk Cousins or Fernando Mendoza at QB, an improved offensive line with Colton Miller returning and Tyler Linderbound signed, plus Clint Kubak's scheme, Bowers has no target competition and could see 8-10-12 targets per game.

Even in his first year without Ben Johnson, Goff threw for 4,500 yards and 30+ touchdowns, suggesting he's probably a bit underrated despite being boring.

Drew Psoning, the former Arizona offensive coordinator, is coming in and was a mess in terms of the passing game there, presenting a downside risk.

Offensive line has lost three of five starting linemen over the last two offseasons, including Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow, which is a downside concern.

Vegas projects Jared Goff for 4,000 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns, comparable to Dak Prescott's range.

Drew Psoning, the former Arizona offensive coordinator, is coming in as the new coordinator, and the analyst has concerns about his passing game scheme based on his Arizona tenure.

Goff's offensive line has lost significant pieces over the last two offseasons, including Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow, with three of five starting linemen from the past decade no longer there.

Jared Goff is at quarterback 19 with Vegas projections of 4,000 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns, comparable to Dak Prescott's numbers.

JJ McCarthy could potentially get starting opportunities if Kyler Murray struggles and McCarthy shows improvement in practice, though this is not the most likely outcome.

There is a risk that Kyler Murray could get benched for JJ McCarthy at some point during the season if the team struggles and McCarthy shows improvement in practice.

Murray has a great playoff schedule featuring Detroit, Washington, and the New York Jets.

At quarterback 17 ADP, Murray is now at a perfect price after being overvalued at QB 10-11 last year; the analyst would be happy to grab him at this price.

Murray has a phenomenal weapons group, phenomenal offensive scheme with KC, and a really good offensive line, making him a no-brainer in Superflex.

Murray almost definitely wins the starting job over JJ McCarthy in Minnesota, giving him the primary QB role.

Kyler Murray was a full fade for the analyst last year, indicating poor performance or unfavorable circumstances.

The analyst likes Love as a player and the overall situation in Green Bay, though notes the team needs to increase pass attempts.

Love is available at quarterback 20 ADP, which the analyst would be happy to acquire in Superflex leagues, indicating good value at that price point.

Despite not being a great NFL quarterback, Kyler Murray's rushing ability and great scheme make him valuable in fantasy, especially if the opportunity to grab him at a discount presents itself.

Moved to Minnesota and is almost definitely winning the starting job over JJ McCarthy with a phenomenal weapons group and offensive scheme, making him a no-brainer quarterback two in Superflex leagues.

Josh Jacobs' arrival has limited Love's passing volume, though there's potential for increased pass attempts if Jacobs faces suspension.

Ranked at quarterback 16, four spots above ADP at quarterback 20, with potential to return to top-eight fantasy quarterback status if the Packers lean more into the passing game.

The weapons group is less dominant than in the past, with Kenneth Walker taking more ground game touches, and the secondary receivers lack the separation ability of previous years.

Ranked at quarterback 14, Mahomes has been subpar for fantasy over the last three to four years despite last year's uptick, and is coming off a torn ACL with a less dominant weapons group than in previous years.

McCaffrey remains a key part of the 49ers' offense, with hopes for a full 17-game season.

Kirk was brought in as a receiver for the 49ers alongside Mike Evans to supplement the weapons group despite high turnover in the receiving corps.

Evans was brought in as a receiver for the 49ers alongside Christian Kirk to supplement the weapons group despite high turnover in the receiving corps.

Nabers' injury news has been concerning and he may start the year on the PUP list, creating uncertainty for the Jets' receiving corps.

Odunze is entering his prime as part of the Bears' weapons group in Ben Johnson's second year as offensive coordinator.

Burden is entering his prime as part of the Bears' weapons group in Ben Johnson's second year as offensive coordinator.

Loveland is part of the Bears' entering-prime weapons group alongside Luther Burden and Roma Dunay in Ben Johnson's second year as offensive coordinator.

Williams is ranked QB12 by the analyst, significantly lower than his ADP of QB7, and is overvalued in super flex leagues where he's going around the 1-2 turn; concerns include inconsistent completion rate and decision-making accuracy.

Purdy is underrated in fantasy and was the third or fourth QB in overall points per game last year when healthy; he has a high touchdown rate under Kyle Shanahan and adds rushing upside with potential for 4-6 rushing TDs annually.

Prescott is positioned as QB1 with strong offensive weapons (George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson) and a favorable scheme from Shotti, though he no longer has the rushing upside he had early in his career.

Stafford was extremely efficient in the red zone and inside the 10-yard line last year, but volume could take a step back given the Rams' strong defense reducing the need for high-volume passing games.

Prescott is positioned favorably with a scheme that will feature heavy passing volume, elite weapons (George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson), and a good offensive line, though he lacks the rushing upside of other top QBs.

Stafford is QB9 coming off an MVP season with elite weapons (Puka Nacua, Devonte Adams) and McVay's scheme, but touchdown rate should regress naturally and volume may decline due to the strong defense limiting game scripts requiring heavy passing.

Hurts is positioned for a strong mid-QB1 bounce-back with a new offensive scheme replacing Kevin Patulo's poor play-calling; the focus shifts from passing volume to rushing TDs (8-12 target), where he can average 20+ PPG annually.

Lawrence is QB7 with elite receiver weapons (Parker Washington, Jacobe Meyers, Brian Thomas Jr., Brentton Strange) and an excellent offensive scheme; his rushing ability is sticky and should produce 4-6 rushing TDs annually, potentially finishing as a top-5 fantasy QB.

Despite rushing upside, May is ranked QB6 (not the popular QB3-5) due to concerns about a tougher schedule this year and struggles against elite defenses in the playoffs last year, with risk of finishing QB8-10.

Herbert is positioned for a breakout year with Mike McDaniel's creative offense and his demonstrated rushing ability (second in NFL in rushing yards among QBs last year), making him a complete fantasy package that the market is undervaluing.

Drake May is mentioned as having rushing upside in the Strong QB1 tier, though the analyst expresses some wariness about his profile.

Justin Herbert showed strong rushing ability last year, finishing second in the NFL in rushing yards among quarterbacks, which adds to his fantasy value alongside his passing prowess.

Justin Herbert is ranked much higher than consensus; the analyst cites improved offensive line health with Slater and Altback returning, interior additions, and Mike McDaniel's creative system as catalysts for a strong 2026.

Getting rid of Cliff Kingsbury and implementing a more progressive offensive system is expected to be huge for Jaden Daniels, allowing him to do what he does best.

Jaden Daniels is in the Strong QB1 tier with a bounceback projection after his explosive rookie season; the analyst emphasizes his rushing floor as a key asset that allows for high ceiling weeks.

Joe Burrow is placed in the Strong QB1 tier as a top pocket passer with one of the most live arms in the NFL, projected to throw 600+ times and put up 4,800 yards with elite receiving weapons.

Lamar Jackson faces a slight downside risk with a new offensive coordinator, Tom Monken, now in Cleveland, though the analyst downplays this concern.

Lamar Jackson's rush attempt numbers remain consistently high year-to-year, with last year being an outlier at 67 attempts due to games missed, suggesting his rushing floor remains intact.

Lamar Jackson is in the Elite QB1 tier with a strong bounceback projection; the analyst attributes his down 2025 season primarily to a hamstring injury and expects him to return to 2022-24 form.

Cowboys coaching staff has been consistently praising his development all offseason, highlighting his progress as a route runner and his increased reps with Dak Prescott.

Has significant contingent upside as a weekly starter if either Lamb or Gallup suffers an injury, making him a valuable handcuff in deeper leagues.

Was highly productive when given opportunity last season, posting at least 68 receiving yards in all three games with 7+ targets and at least 114 yards in both games with 9+ targets.

Will run a ton of routes this season as Dallas commits to 11 personnel with three wide receivers on the field, bucking the league-wide shift toward heavy tight end usage.

Late 17th round pick with strong upside; analyst believes the role will be there and recommends drafting him as a late-round flyer with minimal downside risk.

In an offense not expected to have many passing touchdowns, Gunnar Helm is not somebody to feel super good about given the lack of touchdown upside.

Gunnar Helm is projected for 60 targets, 48 catches, 394 yards, and 3 touchdowns, which puts him at approximately 6 points per game—not consistent enough for tight end consideration.

As the third option on a bad offense, Gunnar Helm does not sound that great for managed leagues, where there's almost no reason to draft him.

Gunnar Helm will be the Titans' starting tight end and main pass catching tight end in the offense.

Gunnar Helm has a really cheap price and fills a nice role in best ball three tight end builds where you're trying to build in potential and floor as the Titans' starting receiving tight end.

Brissett is expected to be the Cardinals' starter, though there is still some uncertainty around his status due to an ongoing dispute, with recent photos showing him training with the team.

Wilson has shown he is a good wide receiver in the NFL after demonstrating his abilities last season, representing a solid weapon in the Cardinals' offense.

Harrison Jr. has disappointed compared to expectations despite being a good wide receiver, and his production is at risk due to potential quarterback changes and the Cardinals' poor offensive outlook.

McBride is described as one of if not the best tight end in football, representing one of the Cardinals' most talented weapons despite the offense's overall struggles.

Love is likely to see a backfield split with James Conner and will be vultured in the red zone, limiting his ceiling despite solid talent and potential garbage-time receiving volume.

Love is going at 25.8 ADP on the 2-3 turn and likely to rise into the late second round as hype builds, but his price is too high given concerns about a potential backfield split with James Conner and the Cardinals' poor offensive outlook.

Bell is projected at 7 fantasy points per game, reflecting the split nature of the Dolphins' passing game across multiple receivers.

Bell has a 17% red zone target share and is expected to be used in the red zone if healthy, giving him theoretical ceiling upside in managed leagues with IR spots.

Dulcich is projected at 80 targets and 3 touchdowns with a 20% red zone target share, though injury concerns from his Denver days remain a risk factor.

Dulcich is extremely cheap late in drafts and could be valuable if he becomes one of the leading pass catchers with even a 15% target share, given the scarcity of other pass-catching options.

In best ball formats without waiver wire access, Washington is more interesting because he's expected to have a consistent role in the game plan throughout the season.

Washington is extremely cheap, going around pick 183 on Underdog, making him a last-pick redraft type player with potential upside if he secures a role in the offense.

Willis's ceiling is limited to top-12 at best, not top-5, because rushing alone is a floor for QBs, not a ceiling—he would need either a historic rushing season or developed passing game to reach elite fantasy status.

Willis is projected at 16.3 fantasy points per game in four-point passing touchdown leagues, accounting for spike weeks in the low 20s from rushing upside but also stinker games where the offense struggles.

Achane is projected at 86.2 targets for the season, reflecting expectations that he will be the primary receiving option despite the Dolphins' poor passing game.

Achane is likely to lead the Dolphins in targets due to the team's lack of other passing-catching talent, which could be his primary path to production despite the poor offense.

Achane is cheaper than in past years, sitting in the second round of drafts and sometimes falling deep into the second round, making him an attractive value bet on his elite talent despite the Dolphins' offensive struggles.

Christian Kirk was very dusty last year but continued to receive significant playing time under offensive coordinator Nick Caserio, raising concerns about the Texans' personnel decisions.

Xavier Hutchinson played a lot in Jayden Higgins' rookie season, but should be clearly behind Higgins in year two as Higgins learns to play more consistently.

Nico Collins is expected to be one of the two primary receivers on the field in Texans heavy personnel sets alongside Jayden Higgins.

In year two, Jayden Higgins should be clearly ahead of Xavier Hutchinson on the depth chart, with the expectation that in 12-personnel sets, Collins and Higgins will be the outside receivers unless Higgins is a bust.

Texans deploying more heavy personnel sets with improved tight end depth, which should benefit Jayden Higgins as one of the two primary receivers on the field alongside Nico Collins.

Bryce Young is averaging only 180 yards per game passing in his entire career, and the analyst notes this is the one big thing that could hold Chuba Hubbard back, as Young needs to take a big step forward.

Hubbard will be the pass-pro option early in the season over Jonathan Brooks, who is coming off two ACLs, and the analyst doesn't expect Brooks to get 200+ carries early despite the Panthers' running backs combining for 400+ carries and 90+ targets last year.

Hubbard is just one season removed from an RB15 finish with 293 touches and 11 touchdowns, and was top 10 in EPA per attempt and RB7 in yards after contact per carry in 2024.

Chuba Hubbard is a bold pick to finish as an RB2 in round seven; his past breakout seasons have been derailed by injuries (calf strain, admitted coming back too quick), but a clean bill of health should unlock his potential with 225+ touches expected.

Brock Purdy finished top five in fantasy points per game and is going about a round or two behind Dak Prescott in ADP, which the analyst believes is a mistake.

Christian Kirk will likely see reduced snap share (40-50%) compared to previous years and serve as a chain mover, but may need to play more early in the season with KD out, and the analyst likes having him in the offense because he makes plays.

Ricky Pearsall has a chance to really break out in year three of his career with the 49ers.

Mike Evans is described as a touchdown machine in the context of Brock Purdy's 49ers offense.

George Kittle is ahead of schedule in his Achilles recovery thanks to cutting-edge surgery, with the same doctor who treated Jason Tatum, and is expected to be fully healthy by November-December when fantasy football money is made.

Brock Purdy has a career 6% touchdown rate and nearly nine yards per pass attempt, with a 7% touchdown rate in three out of four seasons, demonstrating elite efficiency under Kyle Shanahan.

Brock Purdy's upside projection is 43 total touchdowns (37.5 passing, 5.5 rushing) if the 49ers have an ideal season, based on his 17-game pace from nine games played last year.

Brock Purdy is QB5 in fantasy points per game over the last three years, outscoring Joe Burrow by one-tenth of a point, yet is being drafted at QB12-QB13 ADP despite consistently finishing in the top eight.

Analyst projects Brock Purdy to finish as a top five quarterback in fantasy and throw a career-high in touchdowns, pushing into the high 30s compared to his previous career-high of 31.

John Hansen projects Kyler Murray to finish as a top 12 quarterback in fantasy, assuming he stays healthy and doesn't play significantly worse than last year.

J.J. McCarthy was third from last in catchable throw rate at 69% last year, with only Michael Pennix and Shadur Sanders posting lower rates, indicating significant accuracy and decision-making issues.

The Vikings offense put a lot of pressure on J.J. McCarthy, and the team desperately needed a better run game to help even out the offense and take some pressure off the quarterback.

J.J. McCarthy suffered an injury and has not played since, with Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell appearing to distance himself from McCarthy by 2026 despite being evasive in his praise during training camp and preseason in 2024.

Kyler Murray is amazing at extending plays and scramble drills, with all of his rate stats being better than his overall performance suggests.

Kyler Murray has finished as a top 12 quarterback in four straight seasons prior to last year, consistently finishing around QB8 every single year with reliable fantasy production.

Kyler Murray is projected as QB17-QB18 for the upcoming season, with the analyst expressing confidence that he will hold this job all year unless he gets injured or is legitimately terrible.

Sam Darnold's career 3.5% passing touchdown rate and 6.5 YPA are inferior to Kyler Murray's rate stats, which have been better throughout his entire career.

Jordan Mason is expected to be a bigger factor in the Vikings' running back room than people think.
