Bo NixNegativeNewsTweetJul 17, 2026

Think the Bo Nix price is pretty fair this year. Low-end QB1 range might continue to be his ceiling in 2026 IMO.

Golden TatePositiveNewsTweetJul 17, 2026

“In a few early OTAs, Tate made a pair of spectacular one-handed catches, and he looked smooth with just about everything he did. Tate was quieter in the later OTAs, but that could have been the result of others emerging. The reality is it's hard for rookies to make a big splash in the league, and I fully expect Tate to go through some growing pains.”

Blake Corum is ranked higher than the late-round handcuffs discussed and should be prioritized if he falls to the outside-top-150 ADP range in drafts.

Ray DavisPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Ray Davis is the most likely potential handcuff for James Cook and worth targeting at his cost, as 50% of the Bills offense production could be worth more than 75% elsewhere, and the Bills offense has been top-six in scoring every year since 2020.

Ty JohnsonPositiveUsageVideoJul 17, 2026

Ty Johnson's role with the Bills shifted in 2024, increasing from 41 carries and 25 targets in 2023 to 50 carries and 33 targets in 2024, suggesting he may not be purely a scat back and could split work more evenly with Ray Davis if James Cook misses time.

James CookPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

James Cook is the primary Bills running back, with Raheem Mostert and Ray Davis as backup options if Cook misses time.

Raheem MostertPositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

Raheem Mostert is a priority handcuff to keep on your fantasy bench this season, with strong evidence from a 2024 game where he received 23 of 27 combined carries and targets when James Cook missed.

Mike Washington Jr.PositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Mike Washington Jr. is worth targeting as a late-round pick in 2026, offering upside as a potential handcuff if Bijan Robinson, Jeremiah Love, and Ashton Gay are ruled out of the equation.

Jeremiyah LovePositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

Jeremiah Love is mentioned as a potential injury scenario that could elevate Mike Washington Jr.'s value in the handcuff hierarchy.

Bijan RobinsonPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

Bijan Robinson is mentioned as a potential injury scenario that could elevate Mike Washington Jr.'s value in the handcuff hierarchy.

Tyler AllgeierPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Tyler Allgeier is going rounds ahead of Mike Washington Jr. in drafts, though Washington Jr. could potentially be ranked higher in certain injury scenarios.

Brian RobinsonNegativeValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Brian Robinson is going rounds ahead of Mike Washington Jr. in drafts, but Washington Jr. could make an argument for being ranked ahead of Robinson if the Raiders' lead backs were ruled out.

Roman HembyPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

Roman Hemby is an undrafted running back on the Raiders roster who did okay things at Indiana but is not a significant threat to the lead back role.

Dylan LaubePositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Dylan Laube is the only other running back of consequence on the Raiders roster besides Mike Washington Jr., but has been more suited to special teams and pass-down back duties during his two seasons in the league.

Mike Washington Jr.PositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

Washington Jr. is a freaky athlete with the 28th best relative athletic score since 1986, posting 6.4 yards per carry in the SEC with 100+ rushing yards against multiple ranked opponents. As a late-round handcuff in a Clint Kubiak offense that improved the offensive line, he has underrated upside if Ashton Denty misses time.

Chris BrooksPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

Chris Brooks, along with Marshawn Lloyd, has remained basically free at the end of drafts in the Packers backfield.

Josh JacobsNegativeInjuryVideoJul 17, 2026

Josh Jacobs' fantasy price has been dropping due to ongoing legal issues that matter for his availability and role security, though these issues don't necessarily mean Marshawn Lloyd will take his job.

MarShawn LloydPositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

Lloyd is a late-round handcuff with explosive pass-catching upside and potential 1B role in Matt LaFleur's offense, which has historically featured two running backs. Despite injury concerns, his injury history is not severe (no torn ACLs or fractured legs), and if his offseason health work pays off, he could be a league-winner value pick.

Kenneth GainwellPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Kenneth Gainwell is used as a comparison point for Dylan Sampson, who profiles as a cheaper version with arguably more pure handcuff upside.

Tyjae SpearsPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Miles SandersPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

Miles Sanders previously benefited from the Eagles' improved offensive line, similar to how Saquon Barkley and D'Andre Swift performed well in fantasy.

D'Andre SwiftPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

D'Andre Swift previously benefited from the Eagles' improved offensive line, similar to how Saquon Barkley and Miles Sanders performed well in fantasy.

Will ShipleyPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Will Shipley is expected to garner a lot of pass-down opportunities in the Eagles offense in the potential absence of Saquon Barkley.

Saquon BarkleyPositiveUsageVideoJul 17, 2026

Saquon Barkley is coming off 346 touches in 2025 after an even more monstrous workload in 2024, and will be hitting 30 in 2027. The Eagles offense should be healthier with an improved offensive line under new play-caller Shawn McVay.

MarShawn LloydPositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

Marshawn Lloyd is a 25-year-old Packers RB2 with explosive pass-catching upside and the ability to run between the tackles, compared to Duke Johnson by Dane Brugler. He could potentially be a 1B situation if he stays healthy.

Dylan SampsonPositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

Dylan Sampson is a late-round handcuff with elite pass-catching metrics: RB1 in yards per route run, RB1 in targets per route run, and top-seven in yards per target. He also led the SEC in rushing yards in 2024, making him a cheaper version of Tajae Spears and Kenneth Gainwell with more pure handcuff upside.

Tank BigsbyPositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

Tank Bigsby is a late-round handcuff with elite rushing efficiency metrics: RB1 in yards after contact per carry, RB2 in tackles avoided per carry, and RB5 in explosive rush rate over the past two seasons. If Saquon Barkley were to get injured, Bigsby would be an immediate top-15 running back in fantasy.

Breece HallNegativeUsagePodcastJul 17, 2026

The Jets were 21st in running back carries in the first three quarters and 29th in the fourth quarter; they had only five goal line carries all season (dead last), with Breece Hall getting just two.

Breece HallPositiveUsagePodcastJul 17, 2026

Breece Hall was among the top five running backs in explosive plays last season despite a terrible offense, suggesting upside if the Jets improve.

Breece HallPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

The Jets offense should improve significantly with Geno Smith replacing Brady Cook, which should raise both the floor and ceiling for Breece Hall's production.

Breece HallPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Breece Hall is RB14-15 in ADP and going in round three; he's hoped to regain passing game involvement, with the new offensive environment under Frank Reich and Geno Smith expected to improve his ceiling and floor.

Chase BrownPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Chase Brown averaged 21.6 PPR points per game in the last 10 games of 2024 and 22.3 PPR in six games with Burrow; he outproduced James Cook by at least 1.4 fantasy points per game in every sample.

James CookPositiveBreakoutPodcastJul 17, 2026

Cook could finish as RB1 this year based on McDermott's departure, full offensive unleashing, and increased passing game usage with Carmichael's coaching arrival in Buffalo.

James CookPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Cook led the league in rushing last year and with more involvement in the passing game, he has strong upside; McDermott's departure and Carmichael's arrival could unleash him further.

Christian WatsonPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Watson had compensatory injuries similar to Marshawn Lloyd that athletic trainers have figured out, giving hope that he will work out and perform better.

Josh JacobsNegativeInjuryPodcastJul 17, 2026

Jacobs is an injury risk, having only stayed healthy in two of his seven NFL seasons at age 28, making him a potential cut candidate for Green Bay.

MarShawn LloydPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Lloyd is undervalued as a super cheap handcuff behind Josh Jacobs. He's healthy after working with a biomechanics specialist who identified compensatory injuries from his 2022 ACL tear. He had a healthy spring and impressed coaching staff, with the door wide open to be the number two RB behind the injury-prone Jacobs.

Calvin RidleyPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Ridley is undervalued in the WR60s ADP. Despite a poor start last year with the Titans, he registered the second-best yards per route of his career at 1.89. Under Brian Daboll's offense that consistently gets three WRs on the field, Ridley could see enough volume to provide starter weeks as a WR6.

Tyler ShoughPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Shough showed quite a bit over the second half of last season and could take a step forward in year two under Kellen Moore's high-tempo Saints offense.

Carnell TatePositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Tate is one of the more expensive rookie WRs with a 20-26 projection in redraft, similar to Jordan Tyson but going earlier.

Jordyn TysonPositiveSleeperPodcastJul 17, 2026

Tyson is the analyst's favorite among the expensive rookie WRs. He was the analyst's WR1 pre-draft and still likes him best in dynasty. He's right there with Carnell Tate in redraft with a 20-26 projection but tends to go later, making him a value.

Brandon AiyukPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Aiyuk is part of an interesting 49ers receiving core with Kittle and Evans, though all three are a bit injury prone. If any one is out, the other two benefit.

George KittlePositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Kittle is part of an interesting 49ers receiving core with Pierce and Evans, though all three are a bit injury prone. If any one is out, the other two benefit.

Mike EvansPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Evans is the obvious candidate to be this year's Devante Adams—an older elite player changing teams. He could score double digit touchdowns with Brock Purdy.

Davante AdamsPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Adams is an established elite touchdown producer now joining a team under Kyle Shanahan with Brock Purdy, who has one of the highest passing touchdown rates among active quarterbacks.

Travis EtienneNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Alvin Kamara's return is at least slightly bad news for Travis Etienne as more competition in the backfield is not a good thing, though Kamara may only steal some passing down targets.

Alvin KamaraNegativeRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Kamara was not even effective in the passing game last year, which is his calling card, making him an unattractive fantasy option despite taking a pay cut to stay with the Saints.

Alvin KamaraNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Alvin Kamara looks washed with near-bottom-of-the-league advanced metrics in both rushing and receiving, finishing 36th among 40 running backs in yards per route run last year.

Puka NacuaPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Puka Nacua is among the elite alpha wide receivers whose production remains flat or up from previous seasons and is not coming off the field despite the shift toward more tight ends on passing downs.

Ja'Marr ChasePositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Jamar Chase is among the elite wide receivers whose production remains flat or up from previous seasons and is not coming off the field despite the shift toward more tight ends on passing downs.

Trey McBridePositiveUsagePodcastJul 17, 2026

McBride has established himself as a 25% target share guy, which should remain relatively consistent despite added competition from Jeremiah Love and other Cardinals receivers.

Trey McBrideNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

McBride's 11 touchdowns last year had everything break right for him, and the analyst has a hard time seeing that repeat this year, especially if Carson Beck plays meaningful games during the fantasy playoffs.

Trey McBrideNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

The analyst has had trouble clicking on Trey McBride due to opportunity cost, and believes last year may have been his career year with so many routes run and targets, making a repeat unlikely.

Brock BowersPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Brock Bowers is loved by the analyst but carries a huge opportunity cost if taken in mid-to-late round one, making him less attractive than Colson Loveland at his current ADP.

Colston LovelandPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Loveland can still generally be obtained in round four in non-tight end premium formats, and the analyst is less scared to pass up high-priced tight ends like Bowers and McBride for him.

Colston LovelandPositiveBreakoutPodcastJul 17, 2026

Colson Loveland checks every box as a prospect with strong production at Michigan, was top six among 38 qualifying tight ends in both yards per route and targets per route, and the analyst believes he could be talked about alongside Brock Bowers and Trey McBride by next year.

Jalen HurtsPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Hurts is expected to give a ton of rushing production on the ground, and the analyst thinks he didn't score many rushing touchdowns last year, which should regress back toward normal.

Jalen HurtsPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Jalen Hurts finished quarterback seven in fantasy points per game last year and is being drafted at his floor, making him a good value bet on the offense being better with Sean Manning as offensive coordinator.

Drake MayePositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Drake May is the analyst's favorite high-end quarterback target, generally available in round five or six, and gives sneaky rushing ability.

Drake MayePositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Drake May was quarterback three in fantasy points per game last year in his first season in Josh McDaniels' offense with a mediocre supporting cast, and now has another year of experience, A.J. Brown, Romeo Dobbs, and improved offensive line pieces.

Trevor LawrencePositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

The analyst has been drafting a ton of Trevor Lawrence despite the Jaguars' lower-than-expected fantasy environment score, betting against Vegas that the offense will be better than projected.

Tyler WarrenPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Tyler Warren had an excellent rookie season and prospect profile, and if the Colts find themselves trailing more and throwing more passes, he could have a really big season.

Jonathan TaylorNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

The analyst is worried about Jonathan Taylor because the Colts are projected to be favored in only 10 of 17 games and may find themselves trailing more often, which limits his big fantasy games despite his passing game contributions.

Josh JacobsPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Jacobs gets the lion's share of rushing work and pretty much all of the touchdowns on the ground, making him a discount version of James Cook without the touchdown competition from a mobile quarterback.

Josh JacobsPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Josh Jacobs is well-positioned in the Packers' ball-control, run-leaning offense with a strong defense, and the analyst has been drafting him heavily now that he's going in round four.

Malik WillisNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Malik Willis presents quarterback concerns for the Dolphins offense in terms of passing volume.

De'Von AchanePositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Devon Achane is not a must-have player and is fairly priced in the early to mid-second round, with limited upside due to the weak Miami offense and loss of Mike McDaniel.

Breece HallNegativeValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Breece Hall's price has gotten aggressive, going in the early third round, and Smola is leaning towards wide receivers in that draft range instead.

Garrett WilsonPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Garrett Wilson is Jared Smola's favorite target among primary Jets pieces, expected to easily control targets for the Jets offense despite increased target competition from rookies.

Tyler LinderbaumPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Tyler Linderbaum manning the center position should help with protections and create running lanes for the Raiders offense.

Kolton MillerPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Colton Miller's return to health should help the Raiders offensive line improve from 32nd to potentially 24th best, aiding both protection and running lanes.

Brock BowersPositiveUsagePodcastJul 17, 2026

Brock Bowers could get up to 30% of the Raiders' targets and is still a solid pick despite the weak offense, with his target share ceiling as high as you want to think.

Denzel BostonPositiveBreakoutPodcastJul 17, 2026

Denzel Boston has impressed at mini camp and is worth speculating on late in drafts given his cheap price.

Harold FanninPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Harold Fannin is a good value target for the Browns, with his price dropping to the 8th-9th round in best ball drafts despite scoring the fourth most PPR points per game by a rookie tight end since 2000.

Dylan SampsonPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Dylan Sampson's passing game usage last year is cited as evidence that the Browns will employ a two-back system under Todd Monken.

Tee HigginsPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Tee Higgins is the best value among Bengals receivers, now dropping to the 3-4 turn after going at the 2-3 turn last year with no real difference in outlook, and should garner around 20% target share in a pass-heavy offense.

Dak PrescottPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Dak Prescott is going a little bit later amongst quarterbacks than expected given the Cowboys' elite offense, but lacks rushing upside which limits his ceiling to unlikely top-five QB finish.

Javonte WilliamsPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Javante Williams should continue to control carries for the Cowboys offense, but Jared Smola has concerns about his role in the passing game in 2026 due to inefficiency last year.

Patrick MahomesPositiveInjuryPodcastJul 17, 2026

Mahomes played through a high ankle sprain in the Super Bowl win against the Eagles, running 30+ yards on one play despite the injury.

Patrick MahomesPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Mahomes' willingness to run when receivers aren't getting open and plays are taken away is a key part of his competitive nature and how he adapts to roster construction, though ideally he shouldn't have to run 10-15-20+ yards regularly.

Patrick MahomesPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Mahomes will avoid throwing to receivers who routinely drop passes or bobble the ball, as he understands the risk of turnovers and will not target them even if they appear open.

Patrick MahomesPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Mahomes understands the game at a high level, including his defense's pass rush ability, coverage leaks, and offensive attack plans, which factors into his decisions on which receivers to target.

Patrick MahomesPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Mahomes' success depends on offensive line cohesiveness to prevent him from having to scramble, which is especially important given his knee injury and the need to reduce unnecessary running.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Walker's success depends on offensive line cohesiveness and his vision to see holes and make cuts, with the Chiefs expected to run the ball more to keep pressure off Patrick Mahomes' knee.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Walker is expected to force safeties up the field, creating one-on-one matchups for the Chiefs' wide receivers, and the offensive line cohesiveness will be key to maximizing what the Chiefs paid for him.

Jared WileyNegativeInjuryPodcastJul 17, 2026

After tearing his ACL, it is unclear whether Wiley has returned to his pre-injury form, as players often do not bounce back the same athletically following ACL injuries.

Noah GrayNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Gray has reached the ceiling of what he can be as a tight end and has not developed into an heir apparent to Kelsey despite the Chiefs having time to develop him.

Cyrus AllenPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Allen's ability to translate his route-running skills to the NFL will depend on his physical toughness when pads come on in training camp and whether he can handle contact without developing double catches.

Cyrus AllenPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Allen is a route runner who already possesses the separation and short area quickness the Chiefs need, positioning him to see the field quicker than most rookies, pending his physical toughness in pads.

Jalen RoyalsPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

With Chad O'Shea as the new wide receivers coach, Royals will have the opportunity to reach his full potential as a receiver, marking the first window where Chiefs receivers can achieve their ceiling.

Jalen RoyalsPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Royals is viewed as the heir apparent to Rice in the Chiefs offense, best suited for red zone work and crossing routes over the middle, with potential to thrive on slants and dig routes if he can develop those skills.

Xavier WorthyPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

If Worthy stays healthy and avoids injuries, he has the potential to reach his best statistical career as the Chiefs' explosive vertical threat working in tandem with Kenneth Walker forcing safeties up.

Xavier WorthyPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Worthy is getting actual NFL coaching at this level for the first time under Chad O'Shea, who is teaching him specific drills and route concepts to develop him as an explosive vertical threat similar to how Tyreek Hill operated in the Chiefs offense.

Xavier WorthyPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Worthy has been the MVP of the offseason so far despite wearing a yellow jersey; reports indicate he is performing well in the Chiefs' system.

Rashee RicePositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Rice is at his best working inside as a receiver on crossing routes, dig routes, and quick short double moves, where he takes pressure off Travis Kelsey being the primary inside receiver.

Rashad SmithPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Smith is a dynamic athlete with serious acceleration and speed comparable to Tyreek Hill's athleticism; he could serve as a hybrid player functioning as a returner, running back, or seventh wide receiver.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Walker is the bell cow running back the Chiefs paid for and is arguably the most dynamic runner they've had since Kareem Hunt early in his prime, with excellent acceleration, vision, cutback ability, and understanding of when to accelerate or slow down.

Garrett NussmeierNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Nussmeyer's mechanics have changed due to injury and he sails passes frequently during camp; he will need all year to break bad habits with footwork and aim points.

Patrick MahomesPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

With the Chiefs' significant investment in the offensive line (first-round, second-round, and other high-value picks), Mahomes should not need to scramble or roll out frequently.

Patrick MahomesPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Mahomes still has his fastball and can make every touch throw from the pocket; his throwing torque with the knee should not be a concern.

Patrick MahomesPositiveInjuryPodcastJul 17, 2026

Mahomes practiced during OTAs and mandatory mini camp with limited mobility testing; he performed stand-in-the-pocket and drawback passing drills without rolling out or moving around to avoid stressing his knee.

Luther BurdenPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Burden's cost is out of control relative to his floor, though his ceiling as the #1 receiver in Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson's offense is incredible.

Luther BurdenPositiveBustPodcastJul 17, 2026

Burden finished outside the top 24 receivers in all but two games last season and finished as WR48, presenting significant downside risk despite upside potential.

Luther BurdenPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Burden posted the third-highest yards per route run among receivers with 50+ snaps last season and has received positive coach speak from Ben Johnson, warranting a top-24 ranking.

Carnell TatePositiveBreakoutPodcastJul 17, 2026

Rookie wide receivers break out in a major way down the stretch almost every year, and Tate could be one of the league-winning rookies in the back half of 2026.

Carnell TatePositiveSleeperPodcastJul 17, 2026

Tate is currently WR29 off the board and is one of the biggest screaming values with the most obvious candidate to fly up draft boards in August among rookies.

Carnell TatePositiveBreakoutPodcastJul 17, 2026

Tate is a rookie with elite draft capital (4th overall) and a clear path to targets under OC Brian Dable, who has a history of building offenses around #1 receivers with elite target share.

Terry McLaurinPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

McLaurin is projected to be similarly productive in 2026 as he was in 2024 when he finished as WR7, going much later in drafts despite that upside.

Terry McLaurinPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

McLaurin is undervalued as a WR22 in 2024 who came within 0.1 points of WR7 Jackson Smith-Njigba and should benefit from a healthy Jaden Daniels returning to the Commanders.

Brock PurdyPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Purdy was second in points per game among QBs last year and averaged 32 points per game throughout the fantasy playoffs, making him a sneaky QB option.

Mike EvansPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Evans is compared to DeVontae Adams from 2025, suggesting similar touchdown upside and league-winning potential in 2026.

Mike EvansPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Evans' WR21 ADP price is too low given his historical consistency: five WR1 finishes in 11 seasons, never finishing below WR22, suggesting he could rise above consensus rankings.

Mike EvansPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Evans is ranked as the #1 receiver in Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy's offense after the 49ers invested significant capital in him this offseason, suggesting strong 2026 upside.

Mike EvansPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Evans is a Hall of Fame receiver who will be the number one receiver in a Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy offense. The 49ers showed their confidence by spending significant capital on him this offseason.

Garrett WilsonPositiveDepth ChartPodcastJul 17, 2026

The Jets drafted Marlon Brando and brought in Sadiq Cooper, diluting Garrett Wilson's target share in an offense that now has multiple competent pass catchers for the first time in his career.

Garrett WilsonPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Wilson was second in the NFL in target share at 34.3% last year, but with the Jets adding Marlon Brando and Sadiq Cooper, his target share will decrease significantly. Without that elite target share, the Jets offense cannot support Wilson as an elite fantasy receiver.

Zay FlowersPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

While Flowers has a safe floor due to his share of Ravens passing volume, his ceiling is capped because the Ravens don't pass enough and red zone opportunities go to Derek Henry, Lamar Jackson's legs, or Mark Andrews.

Zay FlowersPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Flowers had 118 targets last season and gets a healthy Lamar Jackson back. He should finish as a top 18 receiver, likely around wide receiver 14 for a wide receiver 18 price tag, representing good value.

Chris OlavePositiveInjuryPodcastJul 17, 2026

Olave has had concussion issues throughout his career that kept his price down last year, and we cannot discount that as a health concern even though he didn't have a concussion last season.

Chris OlavePositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Olave was wide receiver 6 last year but was also 6th in targets. With the addition of Jordan Tyson via the draft, his target share will likely decrease. He's only had one top 15 finish in his career, making him dependent on volume.

Tetairoa McMillanPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

McMillan is falling in rankings and ADP despite having top five draft capital and impressive underlying metrics, making him an incredible value if he stays at his current price.

Tetairoa McMillanPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

As a rookie, McMillan had 1,000 yards and 7 touchdowns, ranking 6th in total PA among wide receivers. He ranked 10th in explosive plays, 4th in air yard share, 4th in deep target share, and 9th in first read targets, making him a ticking time bomb for a potential breakout.

Ladd McConkeyPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

With Mike McDaniel as offensive coordinator, a healthy offensive line with Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt returning, and 122 vacated targets from Keenan Allen's departure, McConkey has a wide receiver one overall ceiling.

Ladd McConkeyPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

McConkey is going a whole round plus later than he was last year despite a much improved situation with Mike McDaniel, a healthy offensive line, and the departure of Keenan Allen who vacated 122 targets.

DeVonta SmithPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Smith's floor is safe at around wide receiver 2 territory due to volume, but his ceiling depends on whether the Eagles offense bounces back and whether Makai Lemon takes too large a slice of the already small Philadelphia passing attack.

DeVonta SmithPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Smith is being taken around the 12th receiver off the board, which represents good value for a former Heisman and Biletnikoff winner with elite talent pedigree.

DeVonta SmithPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

When Devonta Smith lined up out wide last season, he had 2.95 yards per route run, tied for third best in the NFL. With AJ Brown leaving Philadelphia, Smith has the potential to be a true wide receiver one with a ceiling that could be super high if the offense bounces back.

Braelon AllenPositiveDepth ChartPodcastJul 17, 2026

Allen suffered an injury last year that prevented evaluation of Aaron Glenn's intended three-back committee approach, though he wasn't producing before the injury occurred.

Geno SmithNegativeBustPodcastJul 17, 2026

Host dismisses the market's romanticization of Geno Smith's brief success in Seattle, noting that many players have had moments and Smith hasn't shown that level of performance in years.

Geno SmithNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Host describes Geno Smith's 2024 season with the Raiders as one of the worst quarterback seasons ever from an established player, and doubts Frank Reich and Aaron Glenn can salvage his performance to help Garrett Wilson.

Breece HallPositiveDepth ChartPodcastJul 17, 2026

Despite Aaron Glenn's repeated messaging about a three-headed backfield approach, Hall played all but four snaps in week one last year, and the host expects similar snap dominance regardless of what the coach says in training camp.

Breece HallPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

After signing a contract extension, Hall is essentially locked in as the Jets' lead back and should play 70-75% of snaps, making him a stable fantasy asset despite the poor offensive environment.

Breece HallPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Host wants to be on the buy side of Hall if he falls to value pricing, noting this is the first year Hall has fewer questions than in the past three years due to contract extension clarity and lack of holdout/trade concerns.

Adonai MitchellPositiveSleeperPodcastJul 17, 2026

Host identifies Mitchell as a free flyer option in deeper leagues, noting he won't generate training camp hype like other receivers but could be a useful bench stash in week one or two before being jettisoned for waivers.

Garrett WilsonPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Wilson has experienced hand problems in his NFL career and has suffered from being drafted by the Jets, which has negatively impacted his development despite his talent as a route runner with good ball skills and body control.

Garrett WilsonPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Wilson is projected to go in the top 20 receivers for fantasy despite the Jets' quarterback and coaching concerns, representing poor value at his ADP with no discount despite the problematic situation.

Garrett WilsonNegativeBustPodcastJul 17, 2026

Host expresses strong skepticism about Garrett Wilson's draft stock, stating he will ignore him entirely due to recurring training camp hype that doesn't translate to fantasy production, despite acknowledging Wilson's talent as a precise route runner with good body control.

Malik WillisNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Malik Willis is the Dolphins quarterback, and his presence as a limited passer means the receiver situation may not matter much regardless of who emerges.

Kevin ColemanPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Kevin Coleman is a fifth-round receiver in the Dolphins camp where the receiver situation is extremely up for grabs with no guaranteed targets.

Terrace MarshallPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Terrace Marshall is in the Dolphins receiver camp where the situation is extremely up for grabs with no guaranteed targets penciled in.

Tutu AtwellNegativeBustPodcastJul 17, 2026

Tutu Atwell never had a moment in his life, so there's no reason to get excited about him in the Dolphins receiver competition.

Jalen TolbertPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Jalen Tolbert had moments with the Cowboys and is in the Dolphins receiver camp where training camp reports about him taking over the room and looking like an alpha could matter significantly.

Caleb DouglasPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Caleb Douglas is one of several receivers in the Dolphins camp where the paths are unclear and dozens of potential outcomes exist for who emerges.

Chris BellPositiveBreakoutPodcastJul 17, 2026

Chris Bell was going to be a mid-first-round pick before tearing his knee; the Dolphins got him in the third round, though there's a question about whether he plays at all this year.

Malik WashingtonPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

If Malik Washington is basically an extension of the running game receiver—which fits the Dolphins' run-based offense—that would be a key indicator to pay attention to in training camp reports.

Malik WashingtonPositiveSleeperPodcastJul 17, 2026

Malik Washington is being monitored as a potential breakout; he was a day-three pick from UVA and could catch 70 passes this year averaging 9.2 yards per catch under Bobby Slowick.

De'Von AchanePositiveUsagePodcastJul 17, 2026

The high-value touches in the Dolphins offense almost by definition have to be funneled to Devin Achane this year, and he won't be subbed out at the goal line.

De'Von AchaneNegativeBustPodcastJul 17, 2026

Achane is not a stick-your-nose-in-there kind of runner, making it hard for him to live as a pure perimeter player; if the Dolphins don't have other playmakers to distract defenses, corners and safeties will be put out there to stop him from running around the edge.

De'Von AchanePositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Even if the Dolphins offense is not fine, Devin Achane will score the touchdowns; the market's assumption that he can only max out at five touchdowns is not guaranteed.

De'Von AchaneNegativeInjuryPodcastJul 17, 2026

Achane's size and workload scare analysts, and the worse the team around him, the more he has to take on, which could lead to worse injuries for him.

De'Von AchanePositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Devin Achane falling to the RB9-10 range seems insane given his talent; he should be in the RB5-6 range because the Dolphins will have to commit to the run regardless of game flow.

Ray DavisNegativeRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Ray Davis has limited ability and became the kickoff returner; he would likely get stuck in an unsatisfying committee if James Cook got hurt, with Josh Allen potentially taking goal-line carries instead.

James CookNegativeBustPodcastJul 17, 2026

James Cook is a first-round pick walking a dangerous line because Josh Allen can decide to have 25 rushing touchdowns in a season, leaving Cook with minimal scoring opportunities.

James CookPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

James Cook should go in the fantasy first round; he's been unbelievably durable, fantastic, and has turned his career around in the past year and a half.

D.J. MoorePositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

One analyst has DJ Moore ranked at WR20 in standard and WR24 in PPR, believing they are ahead of the market on him and that he could push into low-end WR2 status by the end of training camp.

D.J. MoorePositiveInjuryPodcastJul 17, 2026

DJ Moore was hospitalized after a game last season and played the following week, suggesting he was not playing close to 100 percent at any point last season, which could improve this year.

D.J. MoorePositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

If DJ Moore is allowed to freelance more like he used to in Buffalo rather than being forced into Ben Johnson's rigid structure, it could unlock his upside, as he's a player who needs freedom once the ball is snapped.

D.J. MoorePositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

DJ Moore could be lifted 5-10 spots higher in rankings if training camp reports confirm he's healthier and more like the player remembered from before, given he was hospitalized last season and played through injury.

Romeo DoubsPositiveValuePodcastJul 17, 2026

Dobbs' ADP is outside the top 50, and he received significant money ($64-80 million), suggesting the market is undervaluing him relative to his contract and potential role.

Romeo DoubsPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

If Dobbs takes on the Stephon Diggs role with easier underneath targets and button usage in the passing game—something he didn't get in Green Bay—his ADP is too low at barely a WR4, and he could be a WR3.

A.J. BrownPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

A.J. Brown is described as a finished product in fantasy football, with the analyst noting they would not be making significant ranking adjustments during training camp.

Romeo DoubsPositiveRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Doherty will monitor whether Dobbs takes on the Stephon Diggs role with easier underneath targets and easy button usage in the passing game, which he didn't receive in Green Bay, as this could significantly impact his fantasy value.

Hunter HenryPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Harris views Hunter Henry as a solid but unexciting option who is fine and good, likely to be a fantasy starter-ish player without major upside.

A.J. BrownPositiveInjuryPodcastJul 17, 2026

Harris will monitor A.J. Brown's health reports during training camp, looking for signs he's reached an accommodation with his knee issue, which has been a growing problem that typically doesn't go away.

Rhamondre StevensonPositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Harris and Doherty have Stevenson ranked in the RB31 range, with no expected significant movement unless injury occurs or major role changes emerge.

Trayvon HendersonPositiveBreakoutPodcastJul 17, 2026

Doherty views Henderson as a rare young running back where training camp clichés about increased trust and faster play could actually matter; he's ranked around RB21-23 with potential to move up to RB18-19 if he shows improvement in pass protection and vision.

Drake MayePositiveProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Harris's profile expresses cautious optimism about Maye's second-year prospects, highlighting his power, touch, mobility, and exactitude, though noting concerns about his youth and the historical difficulty of one-year wonder quarterbacks repeating success.

Alvin KamaraNegativeRolePodcastJul 17, 2026

Kamara returned to the Saints on a reduced contract ($6 million less) but may be a drain on Etienne's workload; Harris noted Kamara slowed down last year, avoided contact more, and wasn't particularly good before injury.

Travis EtienneNegativeProjectionPodcastJul 17, 2026

Harris dropped Etienne a few spots in the running back ranks to RB19 standard (RB20 PPR) due to Alvin Kamara's return to the Saints, reducing his workload security despite having around 70% of carries last season.

George HolaniPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

George Helani is expected to take passing down work in the Seattle running back room, which could limit Jadarian Price's early-season upside.

Jadarian PriceNegativeRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Jadarian Price's upside is limited by uncertainty around the Seattle running back room, George Helani's passing down work, and Zack Charbanet's return timeline, making him a pretty big fade in round six.

Brandon AiyukPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Brandon Aiyuk is an interesting round nine pick if he could out-target Mike Evans between the 20s, but his upside is limited by the presence of McCaffrey, KD, and Evans in the red zone.

Mike EvansPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Mike Evans is expected to dominate red zone usage with 15 touchdown upside and is considered a great pick this season, though there's some concern about his performance between the 20s at age 33.

Najee HarrisNegativeRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

The Steelers running back room with Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren is expected to be a 50-50 split, creating volume concerns in an offense led by the aging Aaron Rodgers.

Jaylen WarrenPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

If Jaylen Warren earns the lead back role with receiving upside, he has potential to be a great pick at his current ADP.

Jaylen WarrenPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Between Jaylen Warren and Jaylen Warren, the analyst prefers Warren because he's more likely to have significant receiving work, as Aaron Rodgers likes to dump off passes.

Saquon BarkleyPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

The Eagles offense is expected to flow through Saquon Barkley, with optimism that new offensive scheme under Shawn Manion will elevate fantasy production.

Garrett WilsonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

In managed leagues, training camp is not expected to significantly impact Garrett Wilson's fantasy value this season.

Adonai MitchellPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

The battle between Adnai Mitchell and Omar Cooper is described as probably the biggest story, though it's noted as more relevant for underdog leagues with 18 rounds of defense.

Jalen HurtsPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst is optimistic that Jalen Hurts will elevate the Eagles offense from what was seen last year, which should flow through to fantasy production for their skilled players.

Saquon BarkleyPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

The Eagles offense is expected to flow through Saquon Barkley, with him getting significant work including goal-line carries.

Garrett WilsonPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Wilson's training camp performance is not expected to significantly impact his season-long fantasy value, with the main Jets camp storyline being the battle between Adnai Mitchell and Omar Cooper.

Breece HallPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Hall's training camp performance is not expected to significantly impact his season-long fantasy value, with the main Jets camp storyline being the battle between Adnai Mitchell and Omar Cooper.

Malik NabersPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst was more pessimistic about Nabers when he was going in the mid-second round, but as his ADP has moved to late third/early fourth round, the risk becomes worth it because he doesn't need to be a superstar in week one or even start the first month of the season.

Malik NabersPositiveInjuryVideoJul 17, 2026

There is significant uncertainty around Nabers' availability for week one, with possibilities including being ready to go, opening on the PUP list, or ramping up gradually throughout camp.

Malik NabersPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Nabers' ADP has cratered from early-to-mid second round to late third or early fourth round, making the risk worth it at that price point given the potential for round-one production later in the season.

Travis EtiennePositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Etienne is expected to get all early-down work, most goal-line work, and significant receiving game work, with the offense being fast-paced enough to provide him very high upside in fantasy.

Travis EtiennePositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Etienne remains a really strong third-round pick given current information, as the team doesn't want to heavily feature Kamara and ETN will get all early-down work, most goal-line work, and receiving game work.

Alvin KamaraNegativeUsageVideoJul 17, 2026

If Kamara is brought onto the field in two-minute drill, passing situations, and near the goal line, it will take a chunk of workload away from Travis Etienne.

Alvin KamaraPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Kamara appears likely to return to the Saints for another season after initially seeming like he might retire, and the team will give him some workload but likely not a heavy role.

Trayvon HendersonNegativeValueVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst has not been drafting Henderson and believes he is being drafted too early in the early fifth round given his disappointing performance last season and unresolved pass protection issues.

Trayvon HendersonNegativeBustVideoJul 17, 2026

Henderson was a boom-bust player who couldn't get what was blocked for him, consistently killing drives with zero to 30-yard plays, which is unsustainable behind a bad offensive line.

Trayvon HendersonNegativeRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Henderson was benched last season due to poor pass protection and blitz pickup despite being a top-two pass protector in college, and he failed to execute as a passing-down back because the Patriots couldn't trust him in pass protection.

Trayvon HendersonNegativeBustVideoJul 17, 2026

Trayvon Henderson was benched last season due to poor pass protection and blitz pickup despite being a top-two pass protector in the draft class, making him a boom-bust player behind a bad offensive line.

Trayvon HendersonPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

The Patriots need to see if Trayvon Henderson improved in pass protection and vision this offseason after struggling with blitz pickup last season.

Aaron JonesPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Aaron Jones is expected to serve as a change-of-pace back to Jordan Mason in the Vikings' backfield this season.

Jordan MasonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Jordan Mason is expected to rise in ADP if Kyler Murray is confirmed as the starter, as an elevated offense with better game scripts will benefit Mason even if he doesn't catch passes.

Jordan MasonPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

The Vikings need to confirm that Jordan Mason is the lead back with Aaron Jones serving as a change-of-pace back this season.

Kyler MurrayNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

If there's a quarterback battle and McCarthy shows he's still competitive, confidence in Kyler as the starter and the entire offense will decline.

Kyler MurrayPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Kyler Murray is expected to rise in ADP if early camp reports confirm he's getting work with the first-team offense and is clearly the starter.

Kyler MurrayPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

The Vikings need to confirm that Kyler Murray is the starting quarterback, which is expected but important to verify early in training camp.

Chris BellPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Once Chris Bell is healthy, he should easily become the Dolphins' number one wide receiver given the weakness of their receiver room.

Chris BellPositiveInjuryVideoJul 17, 2026

Chris Bell's recovery timeline is unclear—it's unknown whether he'll return after a month, in the second half of the season, or if the Dolphins will be cautious and limit his usage this year.

Terrance FergusonNegativeBustVideoJul 17, 2026

Terrence Ferguson is a highly volatile player who could also fail to secure the third receiver role if the Rams continue rotating tight ends heavily, potentially limiting his fantasy value.

Terrance FergusonPositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

If Terrence Ferguson takes on the role of third wide receiver with red zone usage on a high-scoring dome offense, there's significant upside despite going undrafted or in round 17, especially in tight end premium leagues.

Terrance FergusonPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

The Rams need to clarify how they use Terrence Ferguson—whether as a field stretcher or as their effective third wide receiver with red zone usage.

Puka NacuaPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Puka Nacua is likely the only wide receiver the Rams can reliably trust on a game-to-game basis, with Cooper Kupp being 33-34 years old and at risk of dropping off.

Cooper KuppPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Cooper Kupp is one of the two good wide receivers for the Rams, with the other being Puka Nacua.

Terrance FergusonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Terrence Ferguson is highly efficient downfield but had a horrible catch rate last year with 21 yards per reception.

Terrance FergusonPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

The Rams need to watch how they use Terrence Ferguson, as they have a million tight ends and two good wide receivers, so Ferguson could be treated as effectively their third wide receiver.

Blake CorumPositiveUsageVideoJul 17, 2026

Blake Corum is expected to get a 50-50 split on early downs with Kairen Williams, though Kairen is expected to get more goal line work.

Chase BrownPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst ranks Chase Brown as the third-best round two running back, behind Saquon Barkley and Ken Walker.

Saquon BarkleyPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst ranks Saquon Barkley as the top round two running back, ahead of Ken Walker, Chase Brown, and Hampton.

Marvin Harrison Jr.PositiveUsageVideoJul 17, 2026

The Chargers need to figure out the running back split and whether Hampton is going to be close to featured or if it will be much more of a split than the public is expecting.

Trey RuckerPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

If Trey Tucker looks fantastic and is clearly the Raiders' number one wide receiver, he could be worth a stab in the final round of reddraft leagues.

Patrick MahomesNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Mahomes is coming off a torn ACL and is not someone to draft much because mobility will be down and they're just not going to have him run as much.

Xavier WorthyPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Worthy was hurt last year which probably caused a downturn, but the analyst still doesn't think he's going to have that high into production.

Xavier WorthyPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

Worthy has a lot of upside for how late he goes in drafts, with potential to beat man coverage and be a field stretcher.

Marquise BrownPositiveUsageVideoJul 17, 2026

Hollywood Brown received 16 targets in the first game when Xavier Worthy was injured, which is twice as many as he had for the rest of the season, indicating he was not part of the original game plan.

Travis KelceNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Travis Kelce is 37 years old, which is a concern for his production in the Kansas City offense.

Xavier WorthyNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst personally believes Worthy was probably hurt last year, but still doesn't think he will have high production going forward.

Xavier WorthyPositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

Xavier Worthy has upside if the injury last season caused his downturn, as he could be featured to beat man coverage and stretch the field against a 37-year-old Travis Kelce and inefficient Rashi Rice, making him a value at his late draft position.

Xavier WorthyNegativeBustVideoJul 17, 2026

Xavier Worthy has been a huge disappointment since being drafted, with stretches where he was legit unusable in both seasons and rarely locked into starting lineups except in deep leagues.

Travis HunterPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Travis Hunter is mixing in and out with other wide receivers, and it's unclear if he will prove to be too good to keep on the sidelines or remain in a limited role.

Parker WashingtonPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Parker Washington looked like the best wide receiver on the Jaguars last season, but it's unclear if he will be the most targeted or if Brian Thomas Jr. will take over that role.

Brian Thomas Jr.PositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Brian Thomas Jr. had a huge rookie season followed by a huge dud, creating uncertainty about his consistency and role in the Jaguars offense.

Brian Thomas Jr.PositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Brian Thomas Jr. is locked into the X role on the outside and will be out there basically every play, but his target share remains uncertain given the wide receiver room depth.

Travis EtiennePositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

Travis Etienne's departure from the Jaguars creates uncertainty in the running back room, with implications for the roles of Tuton, Crod, and Laquent Allen.

Brian Thomas Jr.PositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Brian Thomas Jr. is locked into the X role on the outside and will be out there basically every play.

Tank BigsbyNegativeRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

There's a scenario where Crod mixes in meaningful work in a committee and Laquent Allen is used on regular passing downs, creating a three-back committee that would hurt Bigsby's value.

Tank BigsbyPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

If Tank Bigsby is the clear lead back getting 17+ touches weekly, he would be a smash at his ADP in the middle rounds.

Tank BigsbyPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Tank Bigsby is the clear lead back in Jaguars camp, getting 17+ touches every week with Crod getting only a couple carries on early downs and Laquent Allen in a complementary role.

Alec PiercePositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Alec Pierce's ability to grow into a number one receiver role on the outside is uncertain, especially coming off foot surgery.

Josh DownsPositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

Josh Downs will be a must-draft player if confirmed to be in two wide receiver sets and his ADP doesn't skyrocket.

Josh DownsNegativeRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

If the Colts acquire a star receiver like Diggs, Debo, or Keenan Allen, Josh Downs could be limited to slot receiver duties, capping his upside.

Josh DownsPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

If the Colts stick with their current wide receiver room, Josh Downs will definitely be in two wide receiver sets due to lack of talent depth.

Josh DownsPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

The biggest news in Colts camp is whether Josh Downs will be in two wide receiver sets; his role depends on whether the Colts acquire another star receiver.

Tank BigsbyPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

Tank Bigsby has upside if he can earn a role rotating in and out of the two-three spot, as he was an exciting rookie before his injury.

Tank BigsbyPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Tank Bigsby's ADP as a WR78 could skyrocket if he looks healthy and explosive in camp three-wide receiver sets.

Tank BigsbyPositiveInjuryVideoJul 17, 2026

Tank Bigsby suffered a brutal injury in 2024 and will have over 20 months to recover by week one; his health status entering the season is uncertain.

Josh JacobsNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Even without suspension concerns, Josh Jacobs going in the late third round is not a slam dunk pick.

Josh JacobsNegativeInjuryVideoJul 17, 2026

Analyst is not drafting Josh Jacobs due to suspension risk, believing the NFL will likely suspend him for 6-8 games despite uncertainty on the exact length.

Josh JacobsNegativeInjuryVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst is not drafting Jacobs due to suspension risk, believing the NFL will likely suspend him for 6-8 games despite uncertainty about the exact length, making him too risky even in the late third round.

Jameson WilliamsNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst is starting to back off Jameson Williams, with his value potentially impacted by how much usage Isiah Tesla receives in the Kansas City offense.

Isiah PachecoPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

The key question is what percentage of David Montgomery's role Pacheco will assume in Kansas City—whether he'll be a featured back with contingent upside or just a backup in a committee situation.

Jonah ColemanNegativeValueVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst believes Coleman is being overvalued as a third running back on Denver, going around ADP 14, and would not draft him given his expected limited role as a passing-down and red-zone weapon.

RJ HarveyNegativeValueVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst believes the market is overvaluing Harvey at ADP 78, and would not draft him given the expected role distribution in Denver's backfield with Dobbins as the clear lead back.

J.K. DobbinsPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Expected to be the clear lead back on early downs in Denver, with the analyst projecting him as the only Denver running back worth drafting at current ADP.

RJ HarveyPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

RJ Harvey is expected to mix in on early downs but serve more as a change of pace back on passing downs.

Ezekiel ElliottPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Ezekiel Elliott is going to have a ton of carries and touchdowns and will be a good pick, though the team wants to add another running back to reduce his workload and keep him healthy.

Ezekiel ElliottPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

If both Jaden Blue and Phil Mafa have mediocre camps, Ezekiel Elliott could be a league winner in round three with a ton of carries and touchdowns.

Phil MafahPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Phil Mafa could earn the direct backup role behind Ezekiel Elliott and get a few touches each week to keep Elliott healthy.

Ezekiel ElliottPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

The question remains whether Ezekiel Elliott is a must-draft player or just a really good pick or more mediocre pick, depending on how the backfield develops.

Ezekiel ElliottPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Ezekiel Elliott is obviously the starter locked into a ton of carries and touchdowns, making him a really good pick in round three.

Jerry JeudyNegativeRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

If Judy is going to be out there in two wide receiver sets, that would be unfortunate for his fantasy value.

Amari CooperPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

If Conception gets out there for 90% of plays starting in week one, he'd be really useful in fantasy.

Amari CooperPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Key question is whether Conception and Boston will be used as the top two wide receivers from the jump or if it will take more time to develop.

Jerry JeudyPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Key question is whether Jerry Judy has a role beyond 11 personnel or if he can earn his spot into two wide receiver sets for the Browns.

Evan McPhersonPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Mosiki is not a blocking tight end, which has been a limitation for the Bengals offense given the line has been bad and tight ends haven't blocked well.

Chase BrownPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

For Chase Brown to hit his ceiling, the rushing needs to be more efficient and the offense needs to be more productive and threatening on the ground.

Erick AllPositiveSleeperVideoJul 17, 2026

An interesting name to watch and someone you can look to trade for in dynasty tight end premium leagues; taken around round 18 on Underdog or better in round 20 on DraftKings, and likely to have a larger role than expected because the team really likes what he can do for the ground game.

Colston LovelandPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

Had one of the more efficient rookie seasons despite a super low sample size; if he maintains high efficiency while getting more vacated targets and increased field time, Ben Johnson may scheme more usage to him as an ultimate mismatch.

Colston LovelandPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Colston Loveland could be viewed by Ben Johnson as an ultimate mismatch, with the potential for the offense to design a ton of plays around him in Chicago.

Luther BurdenPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

Luther Burden had one of the more efficient rookie seasons, and if he maintains high efficiency while seeing increased usage from vacated targets, he could be a player Ben Johnson schemes more usage to in the Chicago offense.

Rome OdunzePositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

Rome Odunze has huge pre-draft expectations and a decent rookie season, with the physical mold to hit for a high-end fantasy season, though his inefficiency in his first two seasons has been below pre-draft expectations.

Keenan AllenPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Keenan Allen is one of three receivers (along with Burden and Loveland) who could legitimately lead the Chicago offense in targets.

Tee HigginsPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Tee Higgins' path to becoming a league winner as a round-three pick becomes thin if Bryce Young doesn't improve and if Coker commands a meaningful target share in the Carolina offense.

Bryce YoungPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Bryce Young is not a talent elevator and the team seems to be hiding him behind the ground game. He needs to take a significant step forward this season or he cannot support Tee Higgins' path to becoming a league winner.

D.J. MooreNegativeBustVideoJul 17, 2026

DJ Moore was below average in coverage metrics last season, was unusable at times despite playing all 17 games in a Ben Johnson system, and had his lowest reception and yardage totals of his career. At age 29 entering his ninth season and costing a fifth-round pick, he may warrant a fade unless camp reports show improved usage.

Mark AndrewsNegativeBustVideoJul 17, 2026

Mark Andrews has looked poor the last couple of seasons and wasn't super involved even when Isaac wasn't doing anything, raising questions about whether he's cooked.

Mark AndrewsPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

If Mark Andrews returns to his old form with high usage and red zone involvement following Likely's departure, he offers significant upside as the tight end 15 off the board, potentially becoming the second most targeted player in Baltimore.

Isaiah LikelyPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

Gone from Baltimore, which opens up target share for Mark Andrews and other tight ends on the roster.

Mark AndrewsPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

With Isaiah Likely gone, the key question is whether Andrews returns to being the second most targeted player in Baltimore or if he's declined; ranked tight end 15 off board with potential for significant upside if he reclaims his old role.

Drake LondonPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

When London played, Kyle Pitts averaged only 6.7 PPR points per game; when London missed 5 games, Pitts averaged significantly higher production, suggesting London's presence limits Pitts' role.

Kyle PittsNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Ranked tight end 7 in adjusted points per game but inflated by one 40-point game; was only 21st in points per game through week 13 and averaged just 6.7 PPR points in 12 games with Drake London, suggesting a major role shift is needed to justify his ADP.

Carson BeckPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

May get starting reps later in the season if Cardinals are in contention for #1 pick, which would reduce pace, pass attempts, and efficiency for all Cardinals skill players.

Kyler MurrayNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Cardinals have a difficult schedule and may tank for the #1 pick, with potential for Carson Beck to get starting reps later in season, which would reduce pace, pass attempts, and efficiency for all Cardinals skill players.

Michael WilsonPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Goes in round eight with reasonable ADP; was more productive last season but primarily in games when Marvin Harrison Jr. was out, creating uncertainty about his role when both are on field.

Marvin Harrison Jr.PositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Goes in round six with reasonable ADP; the key question is whether he maintains top WR role when both he and Michael Wilson are on field, as Wilson was more productive last season but primarily in games when Harrison was out.

Chris OlavePositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Chris Olave and Drake London are considered pretty close in quality, with the analyst viewing them as comparable receivers.

Zay FlowersNegativeValueVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst prefers Drake London over Zay Flowers, noting they are very different players but favoring London in the comparison.

Rashee RiceNegativeValueVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst would not take Rashee Rice over Drake London in any scenario, indicating Rice is overvalued relative to London.

Nico CollinsPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst prefers Nico Collins over Drake London, indicating Collins has an edge in the comparison between the two receivers.

CeeDee LambPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

CeeDee Lamb is listed among the elite receivers who averaged more than 70 yards per game last season, in the same tier as Drake London.

George PickensPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

George Pickens is listed among the elite receivers who averaged more than 70 yards per game last season, in the same tier as Drake London.

Ja'Marr ChasePositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Ja'Marr Chase is listed among the elite receivers who averaged more than 70 yards per game last season, in the same tier as Drake London.

Amon-Ra St. BrownPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Amon-Ra St. Brown is cited as an elite receiver on the Detroit Lions offense whose production is earned and legitimate, used as a comparison point to Drake London's quality.

Puka NacuaPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Puka Nacua is cited as an elite receiver on the Los Angeles Rams offense whose production is earned and legitimate, used as a comparison point to Drake London's quality.

Drake LondonPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst would take Drake London over Rashee Rice and Zay Flowers, and considers him very close to Chris Olave, indicating he is undervalued relative to those peers in the market.

Drake LondonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Drake London is a top-10 receiver in the NFL even when judged purely on production metrics, ranking among elite company including Puka Nacua, JSN, Ja'Marr Chase, George Pickens, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and CeeDee Lamb.

Drake LondonPositiveUsageVideoJul 17, 2026

Drake London was targeted on 28.7% of his routes last season, an incredibly high number that reflects his elite role in the Cardinals offense.

Drake LondonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Drake London ranked 7th in yards per route run in the NFL last season, demonstrating elite efficiency that controls for offensive environment and contradicts the narrative that his production is solely dependent on situation.

A.J. BrownNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Prior to this season would have been ranked in the top three to five receivers, but the analyst is now uncertain about his elite status following this season.

Chris OlavePositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Has an easy argument to deserve a contract extension similar to Drake London's deal, and the analyst would give him that contract with zero hesitation aside from concussion concerns.

George PickensPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

If he returns to his previous year's form, he is knocking on the door of the elite receiver conversation.

Garrett WilsonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Analyst expresses strong affinity for the receiver, indicating he could certainly be in the elite receiver conversation.

Malik NabersNegativeInjuryVideoJul 17, 2026

Uncertainty about when he will be healthy, with the analyst expressing concern about his injury status and availability.

Drake LondonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Ranked as receiver eight after elite tier receivers, though the analyst believes he is a great player that many fantasy football listeners underestimate due to limited statistical production (only 1,000-yard season in four years).

CeeDee LambPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Included in the elite receiver conversation, with consideration for tier one status among the NFL's best receivers.

Amon-Ra St. BrownPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Included in the elite receiver conversation alongside top-tier receivers like Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, and others.

Puka NacuaPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

An incredibly impressive receiver who has earned consideration for elite status, but uncertainty exists about whether other coaches besides Matt Stafford and Sean McVay would get the most out of him.

Ja'Marr ChasePositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Ranked as one of the two best receivers in the NFL who will produce at maximum capability regardless of quarterback, demonstrating elite receiver skills independent of offensive environment.

Justin JeffersonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Identified as one of the two best receivers in the NFL who will produce to maximum capabilities regardless of quarterback quality, demonstrating elite receiver skills that transcend offensive environment.

Nico CollinsPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

Nico Collins is considered to be in the top tier of wide receivers alongside Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Puka Nacua, and Jackson Smith-Njigba, though this is described as a hotter take.

Puka NacuaPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Puka Nacua is ranked in the top tier of wide receivers alongside Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, and Jackson Smith-Njigba, averaging over 100 yards per game.

Justin JeffersonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Justin Jefferson is considered a top-tier wide receiver in the NFL, with his down year production-wise attributed to quarterback issues rather than his own performance.

Ja'Marr ChasePositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Ja'Marr Chase is ranked as a top-tier wide receiver alongside Justin Jefferson, averaging 88.3 yards per game last season.

Drake LondonPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Drake London's disappearances are attributed to quarterback play and offensive environment rather than his own performance issues.

Drake LondonPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

Drake London had some of the biggest wide receiver games last season, including 34 points against the Patriots (fifth most among WR production games) and 24 points against the Bills, demonstrating his capability to take over games.

Drake LondonPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Drake London is a tier two wide receiver in the NFL competing to be a top 10-15 receiver, capable of taking games over with monster performances.

Drake LondonPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Drake London was on pace to have a strong statistical season last year, averaging 76.6 yards per game (seventh at WR) with 2.61 yards per route run, and would have maintained that pace had he stayed healthy.

Rashawn SlaterPositiveDepth ChartVideoJul 17, 2026

Getting Rashawn Slater back fully healthy is massive for the Chargers' offensive line; when both he and Alton are on the field, the offense jumps from bottom-three to top-10 by EPA per play.

Rashawn SlaterPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Getting Rashawn Slater back fully healthy is massive for the Chargers offensive line, as the offense improves from bottom-three to top-10 by EPA per play when both he and Joe Thuney are on the field.

Joe ThuneyPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Getting Joe Thuney back fully healthy is massive for the Chargers offensive line, as the offense improves from bottom-three to top-10 by EPA per play when both he and Rashawn Slater are on the field.

Amon-Ra St. BrownPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Amon-Ra St. Brown is mentioned as a mid-first round receiver option that pairs well with a second-round running back like Hampton.

Kimani VidalPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Kamani Vidal was basically an afterthought until Naji Harris and Hampton got hurt last year, suggesting limited role going forward.

Keaton MitchellPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Katon Mitchell is a change of pace back who doesn't concern the analyst, having only one career game with more than 10 carries.

Brock BowersPositiveInjuryVideoJul 17, 2026

Bowers played hurt last year and didn't play with an elite quarterback, suggesting significant upside improvement potential.

Brock BowersPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst is 'banging the table' for Bowers as a league-winning tight end pick, describing him as a 'slam dunk windmill pick' with dominant upside.

Brock BowersPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Bowers has less target competition this year with Jacobe Myers no longer on the team, and benefits from a quarterback upgrade with Chip Kelly.

Brock BowersPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Bowers is going at a slightly reduced price compared to last year (closer to 2021 ADP) when he was going 15-18 overall, now closer to 20-21 overall on Underdog.

Brock BowersPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Brock Bowers has averaged 15.1 PPR points per game in his first two seasons, second only to Rob Gronkowski (15.2) since the NFL merger, demonstrating elite tight end production.

Brock BowersPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst compares Brock Bowers to transcendent tight ends like Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates, Rob Gronkowski, and Travis Kelsey, believing he will be a league-record tight end this year and will dominate to bring the Raiders back from the dead.

Brock BowersPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Brock Bowers has an ADP of 20.2 on Sleeper, allowing you to start with elite RBs like Jalen Gibbs, Jonathan Taylor, or Christian McCaffrey and still get him in the second round, exploiting a significant ADP advantage at tight end.

Brock BowersPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

The analyst believes Brock Bowers has league-wrecking upside and will dominate this year, driven by improved quarterback play (Cousins or Mendoza), a strong offensive scheme, and limited competition at receiver outside of Tucker Craft.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

Kenneth Walker will have a much better situation than Henry is will this season and makes a ton of sense on an RB-heavy build where you could pair him with James Cook as two top-six running backs.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Kenneth Walker is RB6 on Sleeper but RB8-9 on Underdog and RB11 on FFPC, representing good value in the middle of the second round with huge upside potential.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

Kenneth Walker has limited competition in the Kansas City backfield (Amari D. Marcato, EMTT Johnson, Bashard Smith) and has a chance to really own the backfield, with potential for more dump-offs and screen game work due to Patrick Mahomes' knee injury limiting scrambles.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Kenneth Walker finished as RB12 in 2024 with 16.5 fantasy points per game when he got over 60% snap share, and the analyst expects to see similar production this year with potential added passing game work.

Zach CharbonnetNegativeInjuryVideoJul 17, 2026

Charbonnet suffered a serious knee injury in the postseason and missed the rest of the playoffs, opening the door for Kenneth Walker to take over the backfield.

Patrick MahomesNegativeProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Mahomes is not favored for fantasy due to excessive scrambling last year, though this may decrease due to his knee injury.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveUsageVideoJul 17, 2026

Walker is deadly in the screen game and may see increased passing game work with Patrick Mahomes potentially scrambling less due to his knee injury.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

In 2024, when Walker achieved over 60% snap share, he finished as RB12 with 16.5 fantasy points per game, and similar production is expected this year.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026

With minimal backfield competition (Amari D. Marcato, EMTT Johnson, Bashard Smith), Walker has a chance to really own the Chiefs backfield.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Walker is going in the second round with Kansas City after signing for nearly $29 million guaranteed, representing a significant price increase from prior years.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

In the postseason with Seattle, Walker averaged 24.9 fantasy points per game over three games, exceeding Christian McCaffrey's RB1 pace of 24.5 points last year.

Tee HigginsPositiveBreakoutVideoJul 17, 2026

Higgins could absolutely break leagues if Jamar Chase were to miss a game or two, given his elite red zone role and volume.

Joe BurrowPositiveProjectionVideoJul 17, 2026

Burrow averaged 35.1 pass attempts per game last year (fourth most), tied with Matthew Stafford, and led all QBs in pass attempts the prior year, supporting high volume for Bengals receivers.

Tee HigginsPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

Higgins is being drafted one pick behind Ladd Mankey despite being a consistent WR6 every year with locked-in volume, representing broken brain mentality in ADP.

Tee HigginsPositiveValueVideoJul 17, 2026

The ADP already has the injury risk built in, and Higgins fits any draft build—can be your first, second, or third receiver depending on strategy.

Tee HigginsPositiveRoleVideoJul 17, 2026
