🤠 Rd 1: CeeDee Lamb (DAL), ADP 5.0, WR3

CeeDee Lamb missed two games last season and still led the entire NFL in targets per game, averaging 32.3% of Dallas’ total targets when on the field. But he spent half the year with backup QBs — his yards per catch fell to a career-low 11.8, and his depth of target dropped from 8.6 to 7.0 when Dak was out. So now that Dak is healthy, and the Cowboys added George Pickens to pull coverage away, this offense is back to full strength — and Lamb is a LOCKED-IN WR1 with the highest volume + skill + red zone combo on the board.

🐬 Rd 2: De’Von Achane (MIA), ADP 16.5, RB7

De’Von Achane had 78 catches, over 500 receiving yards, and was the RB1 in expected points per game when Tua played. But in the games without Tua? He dropped to RB42 in scoring — and Miami clearly noticed, indicating that Jaylen Wright will help to manage touches. So this year, Achane slides into a hybrid satellite-god role, with a full-speed offense that ranked TOP 5 in explosive plays and red zone trips. You’re not drafting him for 25 carries — you’re drafting him because he can break fantasy in 2 touches.

🐯 Rd 3: Chase Brown (CIN), ADP 27.5, RB11

Chase Brown averaged 116.3 total yards during his 8-week starting stretch and handled a WHOPPING 95.5% of backfield touches after Zack Moss went down. But even with that dominance, the Bengals only added a 6th-round rookie and brought back Samaje Perine as insurance — no real threat to early-down or feature work. So this is a true feature back sitting outside the RB1 range — in an offense that now ranks TOP 10 in adjusted line yards and plays the 8th-easiest RB schedule according to FantasyPros. You don’t fade this — you build around it.

🐻 Rd 4: D.J. Moore (CHI), ADP 40.5, WR22

D.J. Moore posted 98 catches, a team-best 966 yards, and led the league in yards per target (11.1). But his per-route stats plummeted to career lows — just 1.45 yards per route run and 7.5 air yards per target, as the Bears’ old offense became the 3rd-slowest in football and buried him in short-area roles. So now with Caleb Williams in his 2nd season at QB and Ben Johnson calling plays — the same Ben Johnson who ranked TOP 10 in red zone pass rate with Detroit — Moore finally gets the creative vertical usage his skillset demands. Forget last year’s drag routes — this is a WR1 being unleashed.
