• The latest news from around the NFL 🏈

Mike Evans (TB), ADP 24.4, WR17

Evans’s consistency is remarkable. He’s never been outside of the top-25 in fantasy points per game in his 10 year career, and he’s almost always a lock to go over 1,000 receiving yards. If you’re faced with a choice between him and DeVonta Smith, the choice should be easy.

Amari Cooper (CLE), ADP 40.6, WR28

Cooper excelled as the WR17 in fantasy points per game, and unlike some of his teammates, he was still productive when Deshaun Watson was in the game. With Watson, Cooper averaged nearly 100 years per game and over 2.9 yards per route run. That’s worth some value as the 28th receiver off the board.

Terry McLaurin (WAS), ADP 50, WR31

Terry was still the number 1 receiver on the Commanders despite the Jahan Dotson hype over the last couple of seasons. The problem is he’s been plagued by poor QB play throughout his career. If Washington has struck gold with Jayden Daniels, then Terry will benefit.

Kyle Pitts (ATL), ADP 60, TE6

Pitts has let so many people down in fantasy football that he’s become a sneaky good pick around the end of round 5. The new QB situation in Atlanta should be enough to support multiple good fantasy producers, especially ones as talented and athletic as Pitts at his position.

Christian Watson (GB), ADP 69.1, WR40

When healthy, Watson is the top target on his team, besting his fellow Packers in target share, air yards, and end zone targets. There’s good reason to believe he can stay healthy this year too. He has seen a specialist about balance issues that have affected his hamstring. Watson should outplay Jayden Reed for a cheaper draft price.

Kyler Murray (ARI), ADP 78, QB7

Murray has the best shot of any QB to break into the top-3. He already has a season under his belt as the QB2 in points per game. His lateral movement is back this summer after healing from his ACL tear, so the rushing prowess should return. Now he gets Marvin Harrison Jr. to boost his receiving corps.

Aaron Jones (MIN), ADP 80.9, RB19

Jones turned it on hard at the end of last season, hitting at least 116 yards from scrimmage over his last 5 games. That included playoff matchups against tough defenses. He has a chance to take over the Vikings’ backfield as their main guy this season.

Dak Prescott (DAL), ADP 95.6, QB9

Dak was QB3 last season and led the league in touchdown passes. His offense remains largely the same. So, why has he fallen all the way down to the 9th spot in drafts this season?

Brian Robinson (WAS), ADP 103.7, RB30

Despite the offseason signing of Austin Ekeler, Robinson projects to be the workhorse back for the Commanders. He’ll obviously get the work on the early downs, but he was sneaky good in the passing game last season too. He was 5th in yards per route run.

Rashid Shaheed (NO), ADP 105.2, WR53

Shaheed was in the top-15 in the league in deep targets and ADOT, which means he will be the guy going for the big play in New Orleans. The team just gave him an extension, which means they value his services. Plus, Michael Thomas is finally out of town. Shaheed could be a value at his draft price.

Trevor Lawrence (JAX), ADP 119.6, QB14

The former first overall draft pick wasn’t consistent last season. But, he was good at the end. Over the second half, Lawrence was a top-10 QB in terms of points per game. With Christian Kirk returning to lead a good cast of pass-catchers, look for a nice rebound from Lawrence this year.

DeMario Douglas (NE), ADP 155.2, WR69

Douglas should lead the Patriots’ WRs in targets this season. When he was on the field last year, he showed some real pop in terms of yards after the catch and was a decent fantasy flex play in more than 50% of his games.

Hunter Henry (NE), ADP 158.1, TE18

When healthy, Henry was a top-10 TE in fantasy points per game in 2023. He’ll have to avoid any nagging injuries to get there again. But, he’s been a solid value at the position for a while now, and he should continue to produce at a decent rate for an offense that could be better than advertised.

Rashod Bateman (BAL), ADP 160.9, WR71

The team gave Bateman an extension this offseason, which means they plan to feature him. According to offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Bateman has seen a lot of growth and should command a lot of targets down the field, especially with OBJ gone.

Khalil Herbert (CHI), ADP 184.1, RB57

Herbert ranked in the top-20 in metrics like yards per touch and breakaway run rate. He was electric when given the chance, but he had to endure a frustrating time share with the other backs on the Bears’ roster. That won’t change much this season with D’Andre Swift leading the way, but Herbert should still get his chances to shine in spots.

Daniel Jones (NYG), ADP 188.4, QB25

Jones struggled before his injury last season, but his rushing upside alone should allow him to exceed the expectations of his current ADP. In ‘22 he was 5th with 708 rushing yards and 7 TDs on the ground.

Gerald Everett (CHI), ADP 215.9, TE46

The Bears’ 2nd tight end option has been in the top-20 in points per game in 4 of the last 5 seasons. He’s gone completely overlooked this season, but as a free pick in drafts, he could emerge and provide value.
