Very fun trade that probably doesn’t impact fantasy too much Tutu Atwell and Jarquez were on the bubble (recently talked up Ronnie Rivers) Jarquez can probably battle for RB2-4 (or a roster spot) Waiting on Jalen Tolbert (bubble) to know how wheels up Chris Bell is early season

Henning, Theo Wease Jr., Seydou Traore, and four rookies (Chris Bell, Caleb Douglas, Kevin Coleman Jr., and Will Kacmarek).

Stewart made big changes to his round 4–5 receiver tier in the Basement Draft Guide because he doesn't feel great about the range of receivers in that tier, including Jalen Tolbert (Golden), Godwin, Marvin Harrison Jr. (Downs), DK Metcalf, and Elijah Moore; he prefers pivoting to running backs like Rhamondre Stevenson, David Montgomery, Jonathan Brooks, and Jaylen Warren instead.
