Josh Downs (IND), ADP 105.5, WR47

Josh Downs earned a 29.4% target rate last year, 6th in the NFL, and averaged 15.5 PPR points in games with Joe Flacco. But with Anthony Richardson, that dropped to just 10.7 points per game and a 21.3% target share.

So if Indy gets even average QB play, WR47 is way too low for this kind of route efficiency.

Jalen Hurts (PHI), ADP 39, QB5

Jalen Hurts led all QBs in red zone carries and rushing TDs last year — and the TUSH PUSH is still legal. But the Eagles had the FEWEST pass attempts in the NFL and are now expected to throw more under OC Kevin Patullo.

So QB5 might be his FLOOR if the offense unlocks another level.

Puka Nacua (LAR), ADP 10, WR6

Puka Nacua led the NFL with a 44% TARGET RATE and 4.07 YARDS PER ROUTE RUN last year — both the BEST in the league. But even after the Rams added Davante Adams, Nacua is still the WR1 in a condensed offense.

So at WR6, you’re betting on a player who already averaged 22+ PPG over his final 8 games.

R.J. Harvey (DEN), ADP 62.5, RB25

RJ Harvey ranked Top-20 in breakaway rate and elusive rating in each of the last two college seasons and now lands in Denver — the NFL’s #1 pass-blocking line and 11th-best run-blocking unit. But while JK Dobbins may open in pass pro, Sean Payton ranked Top-5 in RB target share each of the last two years.

So if Harvey also sees receiving work, he SMASHES at RB25.

David Njoku (CLE), ADP 109.5, TE9

David Njoku averaged 15.3 PPR points over his last 9 games and saw ~10 targets per game in that stretch. But he ranked 32nd in first downs per route and had the 2nd-worst yards per catch of his career.

So he’s risky — but if Flacco starts, Njoku has an outside shot to lead the team in targets.

Kenneth Walker (SEA), ADP 44, RB16

Kenneth Walker was #1 in missed tackles forced per carry and averaged ~5 targets per game before his injury. But Seattle now has the NFL's 7th-easiest rushing schedule and a new OC from the Kamara tree.

So if he holds off Charbonnet, Walker has TOP-10 RB upside baked in.
