NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Saturday, July 18, 2026

Whether it’s good or bad, there’s a lot of change happening for Jaxson Dart Going under center Learning a new system Tweaks to throwing motion Tweaks to footwork Then add in some risk that Nabers isn’t himself this season I know we want rushing profiles but I’m worried

Giants insider believes Isaiah Likely will play more than 60% of offensive snaps Cites more 12 and 13 personnel (consistent with other reports) Take: Think most assume this, but we want to hear that he doesn’t somehow slot back into this 60% snap share role.

Another fantasy trope we fall into: RB doesn’t play much in Y1 Team drafts a rd 3+ rookie RB Fade RB in Y2 That would lead you away from Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, Chase Brown, James Conner, AJ Dillon, Ronald Jones, & Jerome Ford All of these guys were great values in Y2

Every source for the 49ers said the backup RB battle is the biggest battle to watch I view this as it’s truly 50/50 A reason the 49ers moved on from BRob (and Mason prev) was that they wanted RBs who could slot in and not give away run/pass cues Kaelon Black has less of a pass catching profile but it’s notable the team thinks he has the skills to do it (eventually) To be fair Black had a season at JMU where he had 27 rec (Jordan James college high was 26) This is the battle to watch if you ar...

Guys this is why I do this. I’d been tracking news for years, tweeted some last year and went aggressive this year. Grinding hard can find guys like Kyle Monangai and JCM who I had a very high % of before their price went up. Sure there’s definitely losers, but finding rd 17+ winner matters more than the losers. These guys helped advancement, won weeks, etc. Excited to do it again more publicly!

Beat Writer Patricia Traina on Malachi Fields: She believes he can lead the Giants in TDs I don’t take reports like this as fact, but it signals he has a chance to make an impact this season

For a player who needs to be/stay healthy, I don’t LOVE that Ricky Pearsall has a brace on his right knee This is the same right knee (PCL Sprain) that nagged him in 2025

“That ability appeared to carry over to the Chiefs' offseason training program as well. Allen was a standout throughout the spring with multiple receptions during each of the practice sessions open to the media.”

Really great breakdown from Pewter Report about the issues Emeka Egbuka faced in 2025: Miscast as an X WR when Evans was hurt Struggles getting jammed and playing through contact (less concerning at F/Z) Rotated WRs to keep them fresh at the end of season more Needs an X WR (McMillan or Hurst) to stay at his natural F/Z roles

Cooper DeJean on matching up against AJ Brown: "I would love to go against him. I know he'd love to go against us too, so it'd be a fun battle." (@​DiBonaNFL)

Broncos WR3 battle will be one to watch in training camp: It’s likely they rotate/share the role as they all offer something different Marvin Mims can do gadgety work Troy Franklin deep Pat Bryant more of the real WR work short and intermediate Who plays most will impact Sutton/Waddle’s roles a bit (mainly Sutton)

Not a huge JLC person, but he mentioned Darren Waller as a fit for the Ravens if Mark Andrews doesn’t look good Also that GMs and personnel men told him Waller is better than Andrews (and it’s not close) Regardless if you believe JLC or not, Waller should find a home soon

Mentioned as lining up at same time as Achane and Ollie Gordon in backfield; pass-catcher role unclear and likely limited by committee.

Described as a really nice pick who will surprise people; potential Jayden Reed-type breakout by year's end. Minimal production data; pure speculation.

Mentioned as worth keeping an eye on; some intrigue in the unknown. Only viable in deeper leagues. Uncertainty around how much he'll play in preseason.

Rookie WR recovering from November ACL tear; won't return until midseason. Draft sharps liked him; potential second-half league winner and best-ball value. ESPN had him as WR72 on PPR cheat sheet. Intrigue in the unknown; only viable in deeper leagues, dynasty, or best-ball formats.

OP's original suggestion; community consensus is harsh. Described as '4 catches for 11 yards and 1 useless end-around carry' player; not very good; averages 8 yards per catch gadget stuff. Only viable in leagues with return yards. Better as real-life player than fantasy asset.

Consensus sleeper TE for Miami; late-round flier option. Community notes he averages 6.8 yards per reception (unthinkably bad) and has injury durability concerns, but could catch 70 passes if he stays healthy. Viable TE option only if you lack top-tier TE.

Only Miami pass catcher being drafted in normal leagues and drafted very high. Pigskin projects him RB5 with 18.3-touch profile, 19.4% target share, and positive EPA per touch; this backfield receiving footprint caps WR2 ceiling in the offense.

Eagles CB Cooper DeJean on a potential matchup against AJ Brown, via @​DiBonaNFL: "I would love to go against him. I know he'd love to go against us too, so it'd be a fun battle."

My guy @​johns_tailgate is wicked smart — great time drafting the winning lineup in Best Ball Mania and discussing if the hate on Zachariah Branch has gone too damn far (amongst many other things)! 🎥 <https://youtu.be/U2HGyxA3UPA?is=VrHEyyzFLraNOnL9>

Baker Mayfield had 8 (!) separate injuries listed on injury reports last year. See below for his Adjusted Net Yards/Attempt (ANY/A) since 2024, per @​FantasyPtsData: + 2024: 7.13 (8th) + 2025 Wk1-6: 8.10 (5th) + 2025 Wk7-18: 4.88 (29th)

One Bills Live belief that Khalil Shakir won’t just work super short this season - work him a bit deeper down the field Take: Would be very different - covered him as an outlier to “shorter is better” in my article. He has a record low ADOR. Would be good to work deeper.

Mentioned as flashing as a runner in Washington but catching only 9 passes, creating uncertainty in the backfield. Cited as competition for Rachaad White.

Mentioned as the back who took over from Rachaad White in Tampa Bay. Comments note he doesn't get goal-line touches and may not be a full-time back due to frame, though one comment compares him to Achane (similar size, successful in Miami). Discussed as context for White's opportunity in Washington.

Article frames Hubbard as vulnerable (no explosive runs, poor missed-tackle rate, yards-after-contact metrics). Community pushes back: Hubbard lost touches due to hamstring injury early last season but won his job back when healthy; he's the safer play over Brooks. Comments note he's 'the guy' and that Brooks' opportunity is overstated.

Article highlights 10.2% explosive run rate and McDaniel scheme fit. Community is skeptical—comments warn people will be 'very disappointed,' note he's behind Hampton (who had 8th-most explosive plays for RBs last season in half a season), and describe Mitchell as a backup/gadget player, not Achane-lite. One comment says Vidal was more productive when carrying a load. Mitchell is a late-round flyer only, not a conviction pick.

Article pitches Rodriguez as cheaper option in Liam Coen's backfield. Community notes he's recovering from a Jones fracture sustained at OTAs, making him a fine dart throw in rounds 13+ but not a conviction pick. One comment suggests he's a 'whatever contract' signing and not a priority.

Article notes RB7 PPG after Week 11 and Bowles calling it 1A/1B backfield. Community sentiment is positive—multiple comments express love for Gainwell this year, and he's viewed as one of the two most conviction picks before round 13 (alongside Brooks, though Brooks is heavily criticized). Priced accordingly and seen as a legitimate late-round target.

Article highlights 50+ receptions per season, 6th-easiest schedule, and no significant competition; community agrees on pass-catching elite status but disputes rushing efficiency and role. Comments note he averages 3.9 YPC (below average), and Jacory Croskey-Merritt flashed as a runner. One comment argues JCM is the team's endorsement (traded away Brian Robinson, let Crod walk, only added a pass-catcher), suggesting White relegated to passing downs and 4-minute work. Others see him as RB1 or 1B upside by mid-season. College chemistry with Jayden Stone mentioned as bonus.

Article claims Brooks is a talented sleeper with explosiveness and a path to lead role under Dave Canales; however, community heavily mocks this—Brooks has only 9 carries for 22 yards in his two-year NFL career and zero explosive runs last season (tied Chuba Hubbard). Multiple comments cite two ACL tears and note he's been a recurring late-round flyer that rarely works out. Consensus: fine as a free dart throw in round 13+, but not worth early investment; Hubbard is the safer play.

On TreVeyon Henderson from Evan Lazar: Needs to improve between the tackles Was good at pass pro in college - didn’t translate as a rookie (this is common btw) Hendo was a mismatch on vertical routes in camp practices

“Kubiak expects Jeanty to have a heavy workload, but that shouldn't take away from Washington playing meaningful snaps. He had reps with the second team and occasionally with the first-team offense during the offseason program.”

YES OR NO - Will Brandon Aiyuk play another snap in the NFL?

On Raiders TEs: Sounds like Michael Mayer will get much more playing time given the focus of 12 personnel Take: There's not many times where I recommend a TE handcuff, but I think Mayer is very talented. Contract year so he's a good dynasty stash (replace Kelce in KC?).

All this talk about RBBC in Seattle feels like extreme overthinking, and a great way to get value on a 1st round RB in a good offense with no real competition. We have two UDFA/no name RBs competing with said 1st round pick. Beats and coaches ALWAYS talk about multiple guys getting touches, and it often does not come to fruition (ie: JAX 2025). In reality, teams want their perceived best RB or two on the field as much as possible, which is why you rarely see three RBs getting touches and why...

Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald on rookie RB Jadarian Price: “He’s going to run wide zone. We’re going to run some gap scheme. He’s going to run some of that too and then the pass game he can come alive, too.”

Seahawks RB Jadarian Price could have a role on special teams, per HC Mike Macdonald. “He’s a great special teams player. The kick return stuff, we’ll see how it shakes out in other phases, but he’s going to come in and compete with the rest of the guys.”

Seahawks HC Mike McDaniel on rookie RB Jadarian Price: “He’s going to run wide zone. We’re going to run some gap scheme. He’s going to run some of that too and then the pass game he can come alive, too.”

Pretty clear top 2 WRs for the Raiders and then a mixed bag behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor Either Nailor or Tucker could be the WR1 Bech and Thornton jockeying for WR3 but Malik Benson and the threat of a vet WR looms (and a lot of 2TE sets)

On Raiders RBs Ashton Jeanty & Mike Washington: My take: Jeanty will be the bellcow, but Mike Washington sounds like the clear spell back and RB2 handcuff

On Raiders RBs Ashton Jeanty & Mike Washington: My take: Jeanty will be the bellcow, but Mike Washington sounds like the clear spell back and RB2 handcuff

Coming back from injury; his return should make Donovan Jackson's job easier on the left side of the Vikings offensive line.

Vikings' first pick after trading out of first round; was fine as a rookie with some injury battles, but if healthy, should be a rock-solid dependable player with improved consistency as a run blocker.

Coming off his best year as a pro; analyst is not the biggest Watson guy but acknowledges his improvement and potential to pair with Matthew Golden in a traditional passing attack.

First-round receiver for the Packers with silky smooth route running and inside-out versatility; analyst hopes the draft capital forces him into a true number-one receiver role.

Clear-cut receiver three for the Lions who makes explosive plays; team gave up two third-round picks to acquire him, and analyst expects them to remove restraints and let him go in year two.

In the last six games of last year, would be a top-five tight end if redrafting the entire NFL; expected to be deployed more in tempo with mismatches in slot and receiver positions.

Perfect breakout candidate with bigger role following DJ Moore trade; head coach Ben Johnson is buying Luther Burden stock.

Extended after in-season trade but could potentially be minimized to gadget/kick returner role if Torrey Horton proves too good, despite the team's investment.

Impressive rookie who was better than expected for a day-three pick; has the nickel corner spot locked down and is expected to step forward in year two despite coaching change.

Analyst is interested in how CJ Daniels fits into the Rams receiving core, playing more like Robert Woods with a different skill set than Mumfield.

First-round pick who looked awesome when on the field last year but dealt with injuries; if he stays healthy, he has significant upside as a top-13 talent on the analyst's board.

Selected as the Buccaneers' second-year breakout candidate.

Nolan is a first-round guy who looked awesome when on the field last year but dealt with injuries at the start and end of the season; if he can stay healthy, he should produce at a high level.

Parish was the better of the two rookie corners for Tampa Bay last year, outperforming Benjamin Morrison; he was expected to be a nickel corner but proved to be a solid outside corner despite his size, similar to Mikey Sammer.

Riley exceeded expectations last year playing on the outside despite being undersized; he's a feisty player who can hold up against the run, and with Alante Taylor gone, there's an opening in the nickel or outside.

Sanker was an under-the-radar top-100 prospect from Virginia who plays similarly to Justin Reed; getting drafted to the Saints where Reed is his mentor is ideal, and he should get solid playing time with an opening at safety.

Walker was a top-six player on the analyst's board coming out of Georgia and showed pass rush flashes last year; he was better against the run than expected for a 240-pound player, and with the same defensive coordinator, his role should expand.

Amos was a solid, dependable starter at Ole Miss and held his own as a rookie despite being thrown into trial by fire; with more pass rush firepower and another year of development, he should be at least a solid starter and potentially take a step forward.

Alexander is a 25-year-old with fast feet and even faster, violent hands who was one of the biggest winners at the Senior Bowl; the coaching change to John Harbaugh should unlock another level despite a disappointing year one.

Graham was fine against the run last year but needs to show more pass rush moves; he should develop further in year two with continued support from talented pass rushers on the Browns line.

Fairchild was a high-floor, rock-solid offensive lineman prospect who was okay last year; year two typically shows step forward for offensive linemen, and he should improve further with better play at center.

Besh should have been on the field more last year after the Raiders moved on from Jacoby Myers; he's a perfect Z slot type with strong route running, head and shoulder fakes, sure hands, and creative after-the-catch ability.

Gordon was a good zone running back coming out of Oklahoma State who benefited from buildup speed to the wide zone, and the same approach could work well with Hampton.

Lambert Smith is a receiver who could have a breakout season for the Chargers.

Harris is a receiver who could have a breakout season for the Chargers.

Cooper has legal concerns that could impact his availability, which would open the door for Q Robinson to see significant playing time.

Helm has similarities to Theo Johnson and with Brian Dable as OC, he should have a breakout season as a seam runner; he's a sneaky dynasty league stash with great athleticism and yards-after-catch ability.

Rodriguez could be underrated as a change of pace guy in Jacksonville's backfield.

Allen is a solid pass catcher out of Syracuse who could be a change of pace option in Jacksonville's backfield.

Marks is an interesting breakout candidate for the Texans running back room.

Higgins could be a fixture on the outside opposite Nico Collins as a potential breakout candidate for the Texans.

Henderson should have a bigger role in the Patriots offense, and if he can step up as a pass protector, it will make it easier for him to stay on the field.

Campbell is an interesting name to monitor after a rough Super Bowl performance where he was questioned about his ability to hold the left tackle position.

Williams is a bullish breakout candidate for the Patriots despite the additions of Dobbs and A.J. Brown at QB.

Moving back to his natural center position after playing guard last season should be a home run for Wilson, as he was a super athletic center prospect who struggled in the postseason at guard.

The new 4-3 even front under Jeff Halfley should move Grant away from nose tackle to a more attacking three-tech role, allowing him to focus on his pass rush upside rather than being forced into run defense.

With Jim Leonard coming in as DC and implementing an odd front, Sanders should get more one-on-one opportunities and be able to pin his ears back as a pass rusher, similar to how Zach Allen has played in that scheme.

The analyst defends C.J. Stroud's talent, noting that Bobby Sloick got 6,700 yards and 39 touchdowns out of him in two seasons with the Texans, despite scuttlebutt suggesting Stroud might not be a starting NFL quarterback.

The analyst believes Malik Willis could become a league-winner if his passing efficiency from Green Bay transfers to Miami, as Bobby Sloick's offenses have finished 12th-22nd in yards and 13th-19th in points, suggesting Willis could benefit from higher passing volume.

Malik Willis has a 61-spot differential between expert consensus (127) and ESPN ADP (188), going behind Jerry Judy and Cowboys defense, and the analyst plans to have way more shares of him than expected due to rushing upside and passing efficiency.

The analyst questions whether Justin Herbert will benefit most from the Dolphins' improved offensive line and run game, noting that Tua led the league in passing yards while being closer to 10th in attempts, suggesting the Dolphins may not generate high passing volume.

Justin Herbert has a 50-spot differential between expert consensus (67) and ESPN ADP (117), going around Steelers defense and Bo Nix, making him a massive value for a quarterback who could win MVP.

Kyler Murray has only had two seasons out of seven where he was a great draft pick (2019 and 2020, before COVID), and the analyst is nervous about his consistency and whether he can generate passing production in the Vikings offense.

Kyler Murray is going a full round later than expert consensus (156 vs. 115), around Jalen Coker and Tyler Shuck, and at that price the analyst is okay with the downside risk given his rushing upside and premier offensive ecosystem.

Trevor Lawrence's rushing touchdown production (9 last year, trailing only Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts) is unlikely to repeat, as he had 14 rushing TDs over the previous four seasons combined, and the analyst is concerned what happens if that production gets cut in half.

Trevor Lawrence is going 33 spots lower than expert consensus (109 vs. 76), behind Patrick Mahomes and Kyle Manningway, making him a strong value after winning fantasy playoffs last year with aggressive downfield play and improved rushing ability.

Despite gaps in his intermediate and deep ball accuracy that are covered up by coaching, Caleb Williams at 90th overall is an unbelievable value, and even if he repeats last year's performance it's a steal.

Deshaun Watson has never been a highly productive quarterback for the tight end position, and Todd Monken has been inconsistent in tight end usage, making it difficult to count on consistent production.

Outstanding receiver with outstanding yards-after-catch ability, heavy involvement, clear path to every-down role, and athletic profile that translated immediately with bad quarterback play last year.

ESPN ADP of 59 is 13 spots ahead of expert consensus ranking of 72, making him the first tight end discussed going within the first five rounds, forcing early draft capital despite quarterback concerns.

Got married before the season, which historically correlates with down years or major injuries; recent examples include Travis Hunter, Jalen Hurts, Aaron Rodgers, Christian McCaffrey, Brock Purdy, and Christian Watson.

Offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is coming in, and the team has added Kenneth Walker as a bell cow, Rasheed Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Taequann Thornton, reducing Kelce's target share and role.

Age-related decline is clear with per-route efficiencies dropped significantly over previous seasons, and he was only a top five tight end last year despite being productive with Mahomes.

ESPN ADP of 81 is 15 spots ahead of expert consensus ranking of 96, forcing drafters to take him a full round and a half early despite clear age-related decline and per-route efficiency drops.

Major concern about quarterback room without Kirk Cousins; most of his production came with Drake London hurt or sidelined, and the quarterback hurdle with Michael Penix and Tua is significant.

Fully healthy entering the season with unbelievable athletic profile, new coaching staff with Kyle Stefanski and Tommy Reese who have strong history of utilizing tight ends, and very little competition outside Drake London and B. John Robinson.

ESPN ADP of 61 is 16 spots ahead of expert consensus ranking of 77, forcing drafters to take him around a full round early despite concerns about the quarterback room with Michael Penix and Tua replacing Kirk Cousins.

One of the most efficient and athletic tight ends in the league with contingent value if injuries occur to top receivers, and could see increased volume if coaching changes impact target distribution like last season before Dan Campbell took over play calling.

ESPN ADP of 68 is 20 spots ahead of expert consensus ranking of 88, forcing drafters to pay up almost two full rounds despite competing with Amon Ross, Hank Brown, Jamison Williams, Jameer Gibbs, and Isaiah Pacheco for targets.

With A.J. Brown gone, Goddert is expected to be a top target earner, but he lacks the yards-after-catch threat of Tucker Kraft and has shown career-low receiving grade and lowest yards per game since rookie season.

ESPN ADP of 95 is 26 spots higher than expert consensus ranking of 122, forcing drafters to take him two full rounds early without an injury discount despite inconsistent production history.

Hall of Fame player who always bounces back from injuries and is on track to play week one, with potential to be great again despite recent setbacks.

Coming back from an Achilles injury with significant target competition from Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian McCaffrey (129 targets), creating risk at a premium cost rather than an injury discount.

ESPN ADP of 71 is 41 spots ahead of expert consensus ranking of 112, forcing drafters to pay up almost two full rounds despite Achilles injury risk and advanced age entering his 32nd season.

Mentioned as a potential pass-catching option on the Eagles whose rookie season impact on target share is uncertain.

Mentioned as a potential pass-catching option on the Eagles that could impact target share, though target competition is expected to be low.

One analyst is lower on Jalen Hurts than others, which factors into their hesitation on Devonta Smith's ceiling and touchdown expectations.

Expected to bounce back this year with the Eagles running the football more efficiently and effectively, impacting Devonta Smith's touchdown ceiling.

Ranked slightly behind the three Round 4 WRs being compared, positioned just behind them in overall rankings.

One analyst has Tee Higgins ranked as WR25, placing him behind the Round 4 WRs being discussed, while another analyst ranks him ahead of all three Round 4 options.

Ranked ahead of Devonta Smith in Round 4 WR comparisons, positioned as a preferred option over Smith.

Ranked ahead of both Devonta Smith and Zay Flowers in Round 4 WR rankings, positioned as the preferred option among the three.

One analyst is happy to be on an island with Devonta Smith, citing new OC Sean Mannion as a big factor with strong building consensus, contrasting with last year's Kevin Batula.

Expected to be a big part of the red zone offense for the Eagles, with high-point ability and trust from Jalen Hurts in the end zone.

Lacks top-5 upside and is a concern as a WR1 in redraft if paired with RB-RB start, though acceptable as WR2 behind an elite WR1.

Ranked WR18 overall, making him the least preferred of the three Round 4 WRs being compared, though the analyst notes he will have exposure in redraft leagues and feels the price is fair.

Feels like a very safe floor play with expectations around 15 PPR points per game, but ceiling is limited due to touchdown concerns with career high of 8 in 2024 and expected regression to around 6 TDs.

Ranked as WR18 in Dynasty with cautious outlook versus Zay Flowers and Emeka Egbuka, though expected to be a big part of the red zone offense for the Eagles.

This is the year to capitalize on Devonta Smith as he gets preferential treatment and the chance to show everything unencumbered and unbridled, separate from AJ Brown.

Smith has posted two 15 PPR points per game seasons while playing alongside AJ Brown, and is now positioned to shine as the Eagles' WR1 with his first real opportunity to lead the offense.

Without AJ Brown on the field, Smith ranked WR9 in yards per route run (2.59), WR6 in targets per route run (.31), and WR4 in expected fantasy points per route run (.61), demonstrating elite efficiency and positioning him as the clear WR1 in the Eagles offense.

In 187 routes without AJ Brown on the field, Smith was wide receiver 9 in yards per route run (2.59), wide receiver 6 in targets per route run (.31), and wide receiver 4 in expected fantasy points per route run (.61).

Wide receiver 17 at 37th overall in NFFC; with AJ Brown now gone to the Patriots, Smith is legitimately good and has posted two 15+ PPR points per game seasons while playing next to AJ Brown.

New offensive coordinator Declan Doyle comes from Sean Payton and Ben Johnson systems; expected to feature yards after catch opportunities, but red zone usage remains uncertain.

Concern about red zone usage and touchdown scoring; despite explosive plays, he hasn't consistently scored touchdowns, which could limit his ceiling.

Had 4+ receptions in 13 of 17 games last season, establishing a strong floor for consistency.

Ranked as wide receiver 14 by analyst; has a 29% target share and was 31st in route run rate, suggesting opportunity for improvement in offensive usage.

Accomplished his breakout season last year while Lamar Jackson was having the worst season of his career, suggesting significant upside if QB play improves.

Has been healthy and consistent, playing in all games of his three-year career so far, with analyst expecting him to bloom in year four.

Has improved in every statistical category since his rookie season in 2023: yards, yards per route run, and ADOT all increased, with 2.52 yards per route run (career high) and 10.2 ADOT last year.

Expected to receive a floor of 115-120 targets this season and had 24 explosive plays last year (4th in NFL), showing he can do a lot with limited volume.

Will be the entrenched starter and wide receiver 1 in the Ravens offense with an 85% offensive snap share if healthy.

Going at ADP of 40 in NFFC high-stakes drafting, which is where the sharpest money is currently in draft season.

Coming off a career year with 118 targets, 86 receptions, 1,211 yards, and 5 touchdowns; finished as wide receiver 12 last season with 14.3 points per game.

Received 938 receiving yards last year and could command 20-30 additional targets this season, putting him in a target range similar to Jackson Smith-Njigba's 163 targets.

Dealt with a hamstring injury in week 6 but played through it; Baker Mayfield was also playing hurt for most of last season, and both should be healthier this year.

Yards per route run was 0.74 last year but reached 2.5 during the first five weeks of the season when he was breaking out, indicating significant upside potential.

Had a 49.6% catch rate as a rookie; even a 10% improvement to 58-62% range should significantly boost his production, with yards per route run expected to reach 2.0+ this season.

Will be positioned in the Z position for the Zach Robinson offense, a spot that has historically produced fantasy success.

Averaged 16.1 PPR points per game in weeks 1-10 and was wide receiver 9 in PPR points per game overall, with analyst expecting him to be a money zone wide receiver in round four.

In week 10 against Christian Gonzalez and the Super Bowl team, recorded 13 targets, 6 receptions, 115 receiving yards for 23.5 fantasy points (WR3 on the week).

Had a dominant performance in week 5 against the Seahawks with 7 targets, 7 receptions, 1 touchdown, and 163 receiving yards for 31 fantasy points (WR1 overall that week).

Commanded 127 targets and 63 receptions on 17 games played last year, with a 22% target share in the first five weeks when he was wide receiver 3 overall in PPR scoring.

Ranked as wide receiver 9 in dynasty rankings with expectations for a significant jump this season; analyst contends he's a round four receiver you want and projects him to be a round one player next year.

Sam LaPorta is a key offensive weapon in Detroit's passing game, though the Lions use two tight end sets on only about 15% of their pass plays.

Jahmyr Gibbs is one of the key offensive weapons in Detroit alongside Sam LaPorta, competing for targets with the wide receivers.

Jameson Williams is a super explosive player in Detroit's wide receiver room who, despite being thin-framed, gives effort in the run game as well.

St. Brown is an unbelievable receiver who is a cornerstone of Detroit's wide receiver room alongside Jameson Williams and Isaac Teslaa.

Teslaa could become a key 'middle class' roster player and glue guy for Detroit's offense, especially with St. Brown and Williams missing games, providing depth the Lions haven't had in recent years.

Teslaa's dig route percentage (26%) and success rate (71.2%) both continued to tick up as the year went along, suggesting improvement in his role.

Detroit uses three wide receiver sets on about 85% of their pass plays (bottom 10-12 in two tight end usage at ~15%), which is favorable for Teslaa's opportunities.

Teslaa is currently the fifth option in Detroit's offense behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Sam LaPorta.

If Teslaa develops into a reliable X receiver, Detroit's wide receiver room becomes one of the scariest in the NFL alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Isaac Teslaa is not a deep-threat decoy like Mack Hollins; he's a credible threat to make big plays when targeted and can win underneath as well as along the boundaries.

Jahmyr Gibbs is the fourth target in the Lions passing game, ahead of Isaac Teslaa.

Sam LaPorta is the third target in the Lions passing game, behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Jameson Williams is described as a super explosive player and one of the top targets in the Lions passing game, with Teslaa's development potentially allowing the team to get more out of him.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is described as an unbelievable receiver and one of the top targets in the Lions passing game, with Teslaa's development potentially allowing the team to get more out of him.

If Teslaa develops and becomes a good, solid, reliable X receiver, the Lions receiver room becomes one of the scariest in the NFL alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Teslaa is a credible threat who will get the ball if open and is capable of making big-time plays, not just a sacrificial deep-threat runner like Mack Hollins.

Teslaa's role is somewhat sacrificial, with him outside on 69% of snaps and on ball for 55%, running go routes at extreme volume, but he showed ability to get open on other routes.

Even if Teslaa is just a guy who makes plays when called upon, he allows the Lions to get more out of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, who are on multi-year extensions, making him a win in his own right.

Unlike other day-three rookie receivers pushed into the deep end immediately, Teslaa can be brought along slowly in Detroit because of the depth of talent in the receiver room, allowing for proper development.

Teslaa showed a 77.2% success rate that improved as the sample went on, demonstrating he figured out how to settle in zone coverage in the back half of the year as a developmental receiver.

Teslaa is a playmaker with good hands, a 32% contested target rate, and won 5 of 7 contested catches without dropping any passes in his sample.

Teslaa is currently the fifth target in the Lions passing game, behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs.

Teslaa caught a pass on just 7% of his sampled routes in year one, but is expected to get more football thrown his way and become more of a routine player in the offense this year.

Teslaa demonstrated the ability to win in tight coverage as a collegiate prospect, which translated to his year-one NFL tape with contested-catch ability.

Teslaa showed an 85% success rate on slant routes, demonstrating he can beat defenders underneath coverage.

Isaac Teslaa showed nearly 63% success rate on go routes and 70% on post routes, demonstrating he can win downfield even when defenses aren't keying on him.

Jameson Williams is benefiting from Teasley's emergence as the third receiver, allowing Williams to play more off-ball and get more runway routes, which is beneficial for his skill set.

St. Brown played 40-44% of his snaps in the slot last year and is playing fewer snaps on a percentage basis in the slot as his career progresses.

St. Brown is one of the better slot receivers in the league, which creates an interesting situation for Teasdall's role in Detroit despite Teasdall's college profile as a slot player.

Armstrong was the most productive receiver on Arkansas' team in last year's draft class, leading the SEC in receiving at age 25, unlike Teasdall who had minimal college production.

Montgomery vacated 34 red zone carries, 14 inside-the-five carries, and 158 rushing attempts with the Lions, creating a significant workload opportunity for his replacement.

Isaiah Pacheco is not good, but the Chiefs' strong offensive line means if Gibbs goes down, someone will have significant touchdown scoring opportunities.

Tucker Kraft going in the middle of the sixth round is acceptable value given the risk; if he has a slow start like last year with four down weeks, you can still grab him and have the opportunity for a true breakout.

Tucker Kraft is not expected to be at full strength in Week 1 despite the timeline suggesting he could play; he will likely get off to a slow start.

Tucker Kraft is probably the Packers' best weapon and would be drafted ahead of Colson Loveland if not for his knee injury.

Tucker Kraft was on pace for 1,139 receiving yards before his injury, a number only achieved by Trey McBride, Brock Bowers, and George Kittle in recent years, placing him in an elite tier.

Tucker Kraft is expected to be ready at the beginning of the year despite his ACL injury; his athleticism is off the charts and he is dominant, making him worth targeting despite potential slow games early in the season.

Tucker Kraft tore his ACL after Week 13 and is out for the remainder of the season.

Tucker Kraft was having a breakout season before his ACL injury, starting as the tight end one with 6 for 124 and a touchdown in Week 2.

Matthew Golden is a first-round pick who could emerge as the alpha receiver in the Packers' nebulous wide receiver room, though the analyst would be surprised if he becomes the primary option.

Matthew Golden failed to score a touchdown in the regular season as a rookie despite getting opportunities; he is on a list of first-round wide receivers over the last decade who failed to score in the regular season, including Kevin White, Josh Doctson, Laquan Treadwell, Corey Davis, Mike Williams, John Ross, and Cadarius Toney.

The Packers love how they use Jaden Reed in his specific role and view it positively rather than as a negative reflection of his talent.

Jaden Reed is not played in two-wide receiver sets by the Packers, which limits his fantasy upside since he can't score points if he's not on the field.

Jaden Reed is a worthy pick at his current draft position in the nebulous Packers wide receiver room; the analyst prefers him over Matthew Golden.

Christian Watson is one of three primary starting wide receivers for the Packers and is worthy of a pick at his current draft position; the analyst takes him over Matthew Golden in the wide receiver room hierarchy.

Christian Watson is going as WR30 and is a very interesting pick despite limited statistics; the Packers keep paying him and wanting him around, and he just received another extension.

Marshawn Lloyd is a talented day-two pick (88th overall, third round) from USC with explosive ability that the Packers need to complement Josh Jacobs' running style.

Marshawn Lloyd has a history of injuries with only six total carries through two years; betting on him getting injured has been a 100% hit, though he is currently healthy.

Josh Jacobs is currently drafted as RB14 and will not be a top-three running back or fantasy football breaker, but will score a ton of fantasy points.

Josh Jacobs' efficiency declined late in the season with yards per carry dropping to 3.7, 1.9, and 3.9, and he had a strange benching with only four carries in a game despite starting.

Josh Jacobs was a running back 2 or better in every game before his injury last year, with several top-10 finishes and three top-5 performances.

Josh Jacobs is the primary scorer for the Packers and has been consistently given goal-line opportunities; he was on pace for 20 rushing touchdowns through the first nine games last year and has scored touchdowns every year as a Packer.

Assuming Josh Jacobs plays, he is a strong pick with no on-field concerns; he is the primary and featured running back with a clear role and consistent goal-line usage.

Josh Jacobs has pending legal issues related to a domestic assault accusation; he was arrested but released after new evidence emerged, with his legal team expressing confidence the matter is resolved, though investigation remains technically open.

Jordan Love is a good quarterback operating in a great offensive system under Matt LaFleur, rather than being a great quarterback on his own merits.

Jordan Love is a very good quarterback with elite efficiency metrics: first in EPA with a clean pocket, sixth in passer rating, seventh in completion percentage over expectation, and fourth in pressure-to-sack ratio among 38 qualifying QBs with 200+ drop backs.

DJ Moore barely broke tackles last year, which is what he was so good at previously, suggesting a down year and potential decline in his elite production.

Khalil Herbert got a lot of touchdowns last year but is not a flex with benefits; from week 10 on he handled 45% of carries on a 200-carry pace, but is not someone you want to start regularly.

Khalil Herbert is an insurance back with league-winner status should D'Andre Swift go down to injury, given the elite Bears offense and his ability to handle a heavy workload.

Khalil Herbert is the backup running back to D'Andre Swift and could see increased opportunity if Swift is injured, though he is not viewed as a strong standalone fantasy option.

D'Andre Swift is the only running back besides Derek Henry to finish inside the top 24 in each of the last six years, showing consistent elite production regardless of circumstances.

Luther Burden has incredible metrics behind the scenes with elite targets per route run and yards per route run, and looked great on film as a prospect with significant talent.

Luther Burden's ADP is too high with little margin for error, drafted 10 wide receiver spots ahead of Rome Odunze, and his production was limited to just two really good games with everything else being worthless.

Rome Odunze's foot injury should not impact production at his peak, though there is a slightly higher re-injury risk going forward; going in the sixth round is acceptable value.

Rome Odunze is an alpha true wide receiver one who had a 25% target share and 37% of wide receiver targets in the first seven games before a foot injury derailed his season; he should return as the clear number one target.

Romeo Doubs was the wide receiver three for the first month of the season but plummeted to wide receiver 38 from weeks 6-13, showing significant inconsistency and decline in production.

42% of Colston Loveland's fantasy points came in the fourth quarter, suggesting his production was inflated by garbage-time situations when the Bears were mounting comebacks.

Colston Loveland had a 28% target share in the playoffs as a rookie tight end, signaling he is the answer to Chicago Bears pass catchers and is going in the fourth round as the tight end three with significant upside.

Caleb Williams should improve in year two with more time in the system, healthier weapons including Colston Loveland and Luther Burden (both rookies last year), and DJ Moore potentially bouncing back after a down year.

Caleb Williams had extreme variance in his game log with some monster performances (QB9, QB4, QB11 to close the season) but also two games with single-digit fantasy points, making him boom-or-bust for fantasy purposes.

Caleb Williams completed only 58% of his passes, dead last in completion percentage versus zone and off-target rate among qualified quarterbacks, showing inconsistency despite his elite physical attributes and talent.

Kamara reworked his contract to stay with the Saints, but he will not do anything on his own to be important in fantasy and whatever he does comes at the expense of someone you want to start.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR, SEA) is #6 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 5.3 with a 235.1-point projection. Verdict: JSN can regress some and still be a top-5 fantasy WR. JSN arrived in a huge way without DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in his way. 6 receiving yards per game including the postseason. His 35% target share dwarfed the next closest, Amon-Ra St.

Christian McCaffrey (RB, SF) is #5 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 6.5 with a 260-point projection. Verdict: CMC's workload will drop and still projects as elite RB1. McCaffrey is coming off 450 touches, including the postseason. That's rare. 4).

Puka Nacua (WR, LAR) is #4 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 4 with a 259-point projection. Verdict: Wannabe streamer is NFL's career YPG leader as side hustle. 4 more than the WR2 overall (Jaxon Smith-Njigba) last season. Over the past two seasons, only Ja'Marr Chase is in his neighborhood. 3) in NFL history.

Ja'Marr Chase (WR, CIN) is #3 overall in Hayden Winks' 2026 Half-PPR rankings vs. Underdog ADP 3.1 with a 256.6-point projection. Verdict: The 1.01 in full PPR with Burrow healthy this offseason. 5 PPR points per game. The only receivers close to matching him over that span are Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, and Malik Nabers.
