24 League-Winners Picked by Experts! Pickens, Loveland, Mahomes, & More! (08/13 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Breece Hall is highly efficient, ranking alongside Christian McCaffrey and Bijan Robinson in targets and yards per target, but faces concerns regarding the Jets' committee approach and his ability to consistently produce high PPR scores despite high touch volume.

Brock Purdy is a high-end fantasy asset, ranking as the QB8 in projections despite a consensus ADP of QB13. Since entering the NFL, he ranks first in yards per attempt, second in touchdown rate, and first in success rate; he averaged over 24 fantasy points per game in nine contests last year.

Chase Brown is considered a potential first-round pick, with his ADP rising to 14th overall. He demonstrated elite production from week eight onward last year, averaging 19.4 touches and 21.2 PPR points per game, and is receiving high praise from Joe Burrow.

The analysts express high enthusiasm for Chase Brown, suggesting he should be considered a first-round pick despite his current ADP of 14.1.

Chuba Hubbard is dealing with a hamstring injury that is expected to keep him week-to-week, which directly impacts the workload outlook for Jonathan Brooks.

Colston Loveland is a high-upside breakout candidate who averaged 7.3 targets per game over the final six games of his rookie season; he is a round-three or four target who has shown massive efficiency when receiving five-plus targets.

DJ Moore is a target in round four; analysts suggest ignoring his 85-target season from last year and focusing on his history with Joe Brady, where he consistently produced at least 13.9 PPR points per game.

DeAndre Swift is viewed as a league-winning value in round 5, offering a surefire RB2 floor with contingent upside to reach top-10 status if Kyle Monongai misses time. He is expected to benefit from Ben Johnson's high-scoring offensive scheme.

Devontae Smith is a round-three target who showed high-end production in a small sample size without A.J. Brown, averaging 16 PPR points per game; his fantasy outlook depends on his recovery from a hamstring injury.

George Pickens is a potential league winner who averaged 15.4 PPR points per game in his final 11 games last season; he has the upside for double-digit touchdowns.

Jalen Waddle is projected to see significant volume in the Broncos' offense, with Dave Richard expecting him to exceed seven and a half targets per game; Sean Payton has a history of hyper-targeting his WR1, and Waddle's versatility allows him to win at all three levels.

Jonathan Brooks is considered a potential league winner, with his draft stock moving into the round six-seven turn following news of Chuba Hubbard's hamstring injury. He is viewed as a high-upside target for managers looking to take chances in the middle rounds.

Jonathan Brooks is a high-upside target whose value is rising due to Chuba Hubbard's hamstring injury; while he was a value in rounds 7-8, his cost may climb to round 5.

Jonathan Brooks is no longer considered a primary sleeper target by the analysts.

KC Concepcion is a recommended sleeper being drafted in every league by Dave Richard.

Kenneth Gainwell is a mid-round target (round 9) with PPR upside, projected for 45 catches; his role as a pass-catching back provides a high floor for PPR formats.

Kenneth Walker is a potential league winner who could reach top-five RB status if his passing game involvement increases; projections suggest north of 40 catches is on the table.

Luther Burden's ADP has dropped to the end of round 4 or start of round 5 due to a groin injury, which actually improves his profit potential by lowering the acquisition cost.

Luther Burden is expected to be a versatile weapon who can line up anywhere and work at all three levels of the field; he serves as an easy target for Caleb Williams, which is crucial given Williams' early-career completion rate struggles.

Dave Richard views Malik Nabors as a late round two pick who will be the Giants' primary target leader; despite coming off an ACL tear, he is expected to be ready for Week 1 and finish as a top-12 wide receiver.

Marshawn Lloyd is a sleeper target due to Josh Jacobs dealing with minor injuries.

Amarion Hampton has a ceiling of 20 PPR points per game, similar to Devon Achane's production in Miami, provided he maintains his role as the primary workhorse in a run-heavy offense.

Parker Washington is a high-upside target in the late fifth to seventh round; he maintained a 14.4 PPR points per game pace from Week 7 onward last year, and while his late-season four-game stretch of 19 PPR points per game is an outlier, he remains a strong value.

Patrick Mahomes is a polarizing pick; while he offers a high ceiling, concerns exist regarding his rushing volume due to a previous leg injury and the potential for a more run-heavy Kansas City offense with Kenneth Walker. He is currently being drafted as QB14, though he maintained a 20.9 fantasy points per game floor in 2023.

Rico Dowdle is viewed as the 1A running back in Pittsburgh with goal-line upside, making him a viable mid-round target who can split work with Jalen Warren.

Sam Laporta is a league-winning tight end candidate who could reach 1,000 yards and double-digit touchdowns; he benefits from a high-target-share system under Drew Petzing and a favorable indoor-heavy schedule.

Trevor Lawrence is identified as a favorite breakout candidate, currently being drafted as QB10. He averaged over 30 fantasy points per game in his final eight outings including the playoffs, and is expected to benefit from a more comfortable role in Liam Cohen's system.

Tucker Craft is a potential league-winner who was highly productive before his ACL injury, scoring seven touchdowns in his first six games; he is a hyper-efficient YAC tight end who could see increased volume with Romeo Dobbs and Dontavian Wicks gone.

Zay Flowers has top-five WR upside if the Ravens increase their passing volume; he ranked in the top five in route participation, target share, and yards per route run last year.
