News and Rankings Changes: Ashton Jeanty Injured, Giants Sign Najee Harris, and Silva's Top-150 Changes (Episode 1013 with Evan Silva and Adam Levitan)

Evan Silva expects the Patriots to utilize A.J. Brown and Dobbs on almost every snap, establishing them as the primary receivers in the offense.

Pierce is expected to return to practice soon following an ankle injury. Levitan identifies him as a value buy in drafts when his ADP slips into the 110-120 range, noting his role as a deep threat in the Colts' offense.

Alvin Kamara is out at least a month with a sprained MCL sustained in joint practice. Evan Silva notes this adds to a pile of red flags, including his age (31), poor performance last season, and a history of knee issues, making his outlook look bleak.

Jeanty suffered an ankle sprain that is likely low rather than high, but he remains a risk to miss time; Evan Silva moved him from 14th to 18th overall and dropped him from the bottom of tier three to the top of tier four in his running back rankings.

Evan Silva moved Carnell Tate down from WR36 to WR46 in his rankings, citing a lack of desire to invest in the Titans' offense. Silva points to the team's poor offensive line and Cam Ward's struggles in the preseason as reasons to avoid Tate, despite his low ADP of 74.

Evan Silva notes Chris Bell's impressive recovery from an ACL tear, suggesting he is an interesting late-round flyer (rounds 18-20) who could win a role based on talent later in the season.

Colson Loveland played eight of nine snaps with the Bears' starters in the preseason, continuing his late-season role ascension. Evan Silva and Adam Levitan view him as a fair-priced target in the early 40s range, noting his price is more reasonable than other tight ends like Fannin, Kraft, and Laporta.

Colson Loveland was on the field for eight of the nine snaps played by the Bears' starters in their preseason game.

Evan Silva is avoiding Davante Adams, noting he is touchdown-dependent and unlikely to reach 1,200 yards, though he acknowledges the offense will score points.

Evan Silva dismisses reports of a 50-50 split with Woody Marks, asserting that the Texans will rely on David Montgomery as a workhorse in close games because of his reliability.

Evan Silva notes that the buzz around Denzel Boston has faded in favor of KC Concepcion. Silva expects Boston to run lower-percentage routes as an X receiver behind a poor offensive line.

Evan Silva expects Deshaun Watson to start the first two road games before being benched for Shador Sanders in week three. Silva describes Watson's tenure as an unmitigated disaster and expects him to play poorly.

Adam Levitan notes Garrett Wilson is locked in as an every-down player, making him a strong value in the middle of the fourth round despite quarterback concerns.

Evan Silva has been high on George Kittle, viewing him as an affordable, explosive asset. While Kittle may miss week one, Silva argues his low cost and high weekly ceiling make him an asymmetric bet in rounds 10-11, despite the bear case regarding his age and injury history.

Evan Silva moved Jameson Williams up in his rankings as a contingency for Sam Laporta's injury. Silva believes Williams will be excellent regardless, noting his second-half breakout last season and the aggressive passing nature of Drew Petsing's offense.

Evan Silva believes the uncertainty surrounding the Cowboys' backup running back role solidifies Javonte Williams' path to one of the highest usage rates among NFL running backs.

Evan Silva expects the Packers to be one of the highest-percentage three-receiver teams in the NFL, creating a clean, high-upside environment for Jaden Reed.

Evan Silva views Tyson as an intriguing pick for deep benches or IR spots, noting that if he returns between weeks two and five, he would be an incredible value. However, Silva expresses significant concern regarding his durability, citing four hamstring injuries in the last 12 months and comparing his health risk to Christian Watson.

Tyson is expected to miss roughly two months with a soft-tissue injury, potentially keeping him out until Week 9. While the timeline is uncertain, Silva notes Tyson's history of four hamstring injuries in 12 months makes him a risky asset even when he returns.

Silva lowered Downs to 97th overall in ETR ranks due to a crowded short-area target environment (Allen, Warren) and concerns about Downs' size (171 lbs) in run-blocking situations. Conversely, Levitan remains aggressive on Downs, believing he has a strong chance to lead the team in receiving.

With Jordan Tyson sidelined, Silva ranks Johnson as his TE11. Given his production last season (77 catches, 889 yards), Johnson is viewed as a reliable fantasy starter while the Saints' receiving corps deals with injuries.

Evan Silva moved KC Concepcion up to WR41, viewing him as the Browns' priority target. Silva believes Concepcion's high-percentage role makes him somewhat quarterback-proof compared to other Browns receivers.

Allen signed a one-year deal with the Colts, bringing veteran route-running reliability to a crowded short-area passing attack. Silva notes that while Allen's target-command ability remains, his age (34) and signs of decline last year make it uncertain if he will overtake Josh Downs in two-receiver sets.

Reports indicate Fields is outperforming Darius Slayton and Darnell Mooney in camp. Silva views him as a viable deep-league roster piece, noting his successful transition from a vertical-only role at Notre Dame to a more versatile receiver at the Senior Bowl and training camp.

Mike Evans has been missing practice with a quad issue, which Evan Silva views as a mild concern given Evans' age (33). However, Silva notes the 49ers are using regimented plans for veterans, suggesting it may be precautionary rest rather than a serious injury.

Despite being an underachiever in college, Washington is an athletic freak who has impressed in preseason (15 carries, 119 yards). Adam Levitan moved him to 3rd overall in his handcuff rankings and 164th overall in ETR ranks, viewing him as a priority bench stash.

The Giants signed Harris to a one-year, $1.2 million deal with no guarantees. Silva expects Harris to compete for playing time immediately, potentially at the expense of Cam Scadaboo, given their overlapping skill sets as pass-protecting, injury-recovering backs.

Evan Silva views Nico Collins as a steal in the third round, projecting him to compete for the NFL lead in target and air yard share; he expects Collins to finally be great for a full season.

Rhamondre Stevenson is trending up in ADP relative to Travion Henderson. Evan Silva notes that Stevenson has done everything right in camp and is expected to open the season with a better role than Henderson, serving as a decent low-end RB2 or strong flex play to start the year.

Evan Silva moved Romeo Dobbs up following the Kayshawn Booty trade, as it solidifies Dobbs' role as an every-down player. Silva expects him to play outside and in the slot alongside A.J. Brown.

Despite a minor hip aggravation, Evan Silva is tempted to buy the dip on Sam Laporta. Silva refuses to rank him below Harold Fannin, citing the superior offensive situation in Detroit and the positive impact of Drew Petsing's tight end schemes.

Evan Silva believes Tank Dell is in trouble due to his inability to sustain a consistent practice or game schedule following his previous knee injury.

Evan Silva briefly mentions that Tank Dell is in trouble following the trade for Kayshawn Booty.

Evan Silva and Adam Levitan highlight Terrence Ferguson as a perfect redraft bench stash, noting his versatility to line up at multiple receiver and tight end positions with potential to finish third on the team in targets.

Evan Silva added Trey Tucker to his top 150 rankings, noting that Tucker has won the Raiders' number one receiver job. Silva expects the Raiders' offense to be more functional this year under Clint Kubiak with the return of Colton Miller and the addition of Tyler Linderbaum, making Tucker a player who should be rostered in all leagues.

Tracy has struggled significantly during the preseason, leading to concerns about his roster spot. While Silva believes he will land on an NFL roster, his standing with the Giants has diminished following the Najee Harris signing.

Adam Levitan advises fading the hype around Woody Marks, noting his poor efficiency last season (3.6 YPC) and dismissing his recent preseason performance as a reason to expect a 50-50 backfield split.
