Kendrick BournePositiveRoleJul 15, 2026

Bourne was signed by the Cardinals and has always been capable as a receiver, though he's not expected to have major fantasy implications this year.

Marvin Harrison Jr.PositiveRoleJul 15, 2026

Harrison Jr.'s inconsistency may be tied to chemistry with Kyler Murray and how he was featured in Drew Petzing's offense, with potential for improvement under Michael Fleur's system using more shallow and intermediate routes.

Marvin Harrison Jr.PositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026

Harrison Jr. recently looked massive and ripped, showing physical improvements that could help him perform better this season.

Marvin Harrison Jr.PositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026

Harrison Jr. is being beaten up more than expected due to generational expectations, but he hasn't been horrible—he just hasn't lived up to the hype and needs to improve at the catch point.

Trey McBridePositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026

McBride is one of the best, if not the best, tight ends in football with incredible hands (one drop on 169 targets) and natural playmaking ability in the open field.

Tyler AllgeierNegativeRoleJul 15, 2026

Allgeier signed with the Cardinals with an agreement to avoid a massive timeshare, but the team immediately drafted Jeremiah Love, a prospect in the same ballpark as Bijon Robinson, leaving him second fiddle again.

Ty SimpsonNegativeRoleJul 15, 2026

The Rams' draft pick of Ty Simpson was baffling to the analyst, who would have preferred an offensive tackle to address depth concerns.

Matthew StaffordPositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026

Stafford hasn't lost any arm strength and continues to make video game throws and no-look throws in crucial moments, showing no physical decline.

Matthew StaffordPositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026

Stafford went too low in draft rankings; he's one of the toughest players in the NFL and is expected to keep playing, with no signs of arm strength decline.

Blake CorumPositiveRoleJul 15, 2026

For Corum to earn more playing time, he needs to improve as a pass protector similar to Kyron Williams, who has earned McVay's trust through his pass protection abilities.

Blake CorumPositiveUsageJul 15, 2026

Corum brought a level of explosiveness that had been missing, with 16% of his runs going for 10+ yards, second only behind Devon Achane, and had more success against Seattle than Kyron Williams.

Kyren WilliamsNegativeUsageJul 15, 2026

Williams is not explosive and doesn't create big plays, which was always the story on him coming out—he's good at the small stuff but lacks explosiveness.

Davante AdamsPositiveInjuryJul 15, 2026

Adams has had injuries crop up, though the source notes the Rams can compensate through 13 personnel and tight end depth.

Puka NacuaNegativeInjuryJul 15, 2026

Nakua plays with a reckless style and peels himself off the turf multiple times per game, which is worrisome both short and long term for his durability.

Matthew StaffordNegativeInjuryJul 15, 2026

Stafford has an ongoing back issue that could flare up at any time, with a history of back injuries that is a concern for the Rams offense.

Charles CrossPositiveRoleJul 15, 2026

Cross is underrated for what he can do as a left tackle and was part of the secret sauce of the Seahawks' Super Bowl run when healthy.

Zach CharbonnetNegativeInjuryJul 15, 2026

Charbonnet tore his ACL in the playoffs and his return timeline is uncertain, opening the door for Jadarian Price to be the lead back.

Sam DarnoldPositiveRoleJul 15, 2026

Darnold worked well with Clint Kubiak, especially late in the season, and benefited from the Seahawks' commitment to the run game and play action looks that set up the entire offense.

Jadarian PricePositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026

Price is an explosive runner who fits Seattle's scheme well and should be a volume monster as the lead back, with the potential to replicate Kenneth Walker's explosiveness in the run game.

Rashid ShaheedPositiveRoleJul 15, 2026

Shaheed was the receiver Seattle prioritized bringing back and affects the game in hidden ways beyond special teams, including getting lighter boxes because of his ability to stretch the field.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveUsageJul 15, 2026

Kenneth Walker showed explosive play ability especially in the playoffs, creating big plays in the run game that Seattle was looking for in the second half of the season and playoffs.

Elijah ArroyoPositiveRoleJul 15, 2026

Arroyo is a sneaky tight end to watch who could function as a glorified receiver in Seattle's multiple tight end sets, similar to how the Rams use Terrence Ferguson, with the ability to line up at X receiver and beat coverage downfield.

Bo NixPositiveProjectionJul 13, 2026

Bo Nix plays behind the Broncos offensive line and took 55 sacks, with the analyst noting that if Cam Ward had taken that many sacks, it would receive more criticism.

Cam WardPositiveProjectionJul 13, 2026

Cam Ward is liked by everybody and flashed potential in week one against Denver's good defense, with the analyst believing there is something there despite not having a great game.

Geno SmithNegativeProjectionJul 13, 2026

Geno Smith is having a rough offseason, though the analyst believes he will be better than what was seen in Las Vegas and somewhere between his first two years in Seattle.

Kenneth GrantPositiveProjectionJul 8, 2026

Kenneth Grant, the Dolphins' first-round draft pick, needs to take a step forward for the defense to be successful this season.

Chris JohnsonPositiveProjectionJul 8, 2026

Chris Johnson, a corner drafted from San Diego State, could hit the ground running for the Dolphins defense, and if he does, that would be a success for the season.

Jacob RodriguezPositiveProjectionJul 8, 2026

Jacob Rodriguez, drafted as everybody's favorite linebacker, could become a starter for the Dolphins, which would be really helpful especially if they decide to trade Jordan Brooks.

Chris BellPositiveProjectionJul 8, 2026

Chris Bell is a big true X receiver who can get yards after the catch and is really hard to bring down; he would be a nice fit with Malik Willis if he plays and could reduce the need for other receivers.
