Don't FORGET About These 11 Players! Dak, Bucky, Higgins, & More! (08/21 Fantasy Football Podcast)

Ashton Jeanty is ranked as a second-round option, though analysts differ on his standing relative to Ken Walker and Omarion Hampton, with some placing him last among the three.

Baker Mayfield is a strong late-round target due to a projected rebound of the Buccaneers' offensive line, specifically with Tristan Wirfs returning to his natural position. Mayfield showed high-end production (24.9 points per game) during a 28-game stretch from 2023 to 2025, and with a healthy receiving corps including Jalen McMillan and Cade Otton, he is considered a prime bounce-back candidate.

Breece Hall remains efficient in both run and pass games despite poor quarterback play. However, he is viewed as a potential 'dead zone trap' back unless the offense improves under Geno Smith. Aizer now ranks him in round four due to injury concerns.

Bucky Irving is a strong value in round five, provided Sean Tucker does not monopolize goal-line work. Irving is highly efficient in the passing game, ranking in the top 10 in yards per route run, and is expected to be used as an extension of the run game, potentially reaching 55+ catches if he remains involved on first and second downs.

Dan Schneier views Cam Akers as the primary back for the Giants but notes he is not a 'workhorse' lock due to injury history and lack of breakaway speed. He projects his catch volume to drop from 60 to 40-45 and ranks him as a late-round four or round five pick.

Chris Godwin has seen a reversal in sentiment due to positive camp reports and his projected role in the slot. Despite concerns about his age and previous injury, he is a potential smash hit in round six or seven, especially in receiver-heavy formats.

Christian McCaffrey is dealing with undisclosed tightness. While Kyle Shanahan is optimistic, there are rumors it may be contract-related. Concerns persist due to his high touch volume (over 400 touches) in previous seasons leading to significant missed time.

Christian Watson has top-12 upside, but his fantasy value is capped by a three-man rotation in a run-heavy Green Bay offense. He is best targeted in round six, as he does not require high volume to be productive, similar to Jameson Williams.

Adam Aizer argues Dak Prescott has QB3 upside and could lead the league in passing yards. He notes that from Week 7-17 last year, Prescott was on pace for over 4,800 yards. Aizer regrets not drafting him in mocks and plans to target him.

Daniel Jones is considered an overlooked late-round flyer who could reach top-12 status if he maintains mobility following his Achilles injury. Despite a torn Achilles, he is noted for having the best year of his career last season while playing through a broken leg, and his current ADP is viewed as too low given his potential as a dual-threat quarterback.

David Montgomery is a high-value target in the fifth round, projected to handle the vast majority of goal-line carries for the Lions. Despite being 29, he is praised for his 86% catch rate and route-running ability, making him a reliable RB2/flex option who could easily reach 10+ touchdowns in a favorable game script.

Devon Achane appears to be one of the last true workhorse running backs in the NFL, as no backup running backs rotated in during recent practice sessions.

Emeka Egbuka is dealing with a toe injury but is expected to be ready for Week 1. Adam Aizer views him as a late-round three target (around 32nd overall), noting his injury history makes him a riskier play.

Emeka Egbuka is dealing with a toe injury, which has tempered expectations and makes Chris Godwin a more favorable target in the same offense.

George Kittle is returning from an Achilles injury. Adam Aizer highlights him as a target in round eight, noting his consistent top-three tight end production per game over the last eight seasons.

Greg Dulcich stood out during Dolphins practice as the primary target in the passing game, making him a potential late-round tight end target.

J.K. Dobbins remains a talented, efficient runner who has historically averaged over five yards per carry, but his fantasy outlook is clouded by a three-headed backfield and the emergence of Jonah Coleman. He is viewed as a viable RB3 in the ninth or tenth round, though he carries significant injury risk and limited pass-catching upside.

J.K. Dobbins is a strong value pick who consistently outperforms his draft position. Despite recurring injury concerns, he maintains a five-yard-per-carry average and has returned quickly to practice, making him a viable RB3 target.

Ja'Marr Chase is a high-value dynasty asset, though trading away multiple future first-round picks and Garrett Wilson to acquire him is considered an overpay.

Jayden Reed is a preferred target in the Green Bay offense due to his lower cost compared to Christian Watson and his proven production when healthy.

Despite a high ankle sprain, Adam Aizer is not worried about Jeremiah Love's long-term outlook, citing historical efficiency of players like Saquon Barkley and Jonathan Taylor returning from similar injuries. He targets Love in the mid-to-late third round.

Jordan Love is viewed as a potential top-12 quarterback if the Packers shift to a middle-of-the-pack pass rate, though his ceiling is capped by a run-heavy scheme under Matt LaFleur and the presence of Josh Jacobs. He is currently projected closer to QB17 per game if the team remains run-heavy, and his fantasy success is highly dependent on the health of Christian Watson and Tucker Craft.

Despite a groin injury and potential suspension, Josh Jacobs is considered a top-12 running back if he plays 15-17 games. Dan Schneier views him as a strong mid-round three pick and suggests drafting his handcuff, Marshawn Lloyd, to secure the backfield.

Marshawn Lloyd is emerging as a clear handcuff for Josh Jacobs, having played every snap with the starters during the preseason.

Adam Aizer is moving Puka Nacua down his rankings from fourth overall (WR2) to fifth overall (WR3) due to potential suspension concerns, preferring JSN ahead of him.

Sam LaPorta is dealing with a hip injury. Adam Aizer is not drafting him at his current price but would consider him in round seven if he falls, noting that his ADP may drop behind Pitts and Kraft.

Tank Dell is worth a late-round pick following the injury to Jaden Higgins, though fantasy managers should be patient as he may not pay off immediately.

Tee Higgins is a targetable asset who has scored 21 touchdowns in his last 27 games and finished as a top-five fantasy receiver per game over his last 16 games with Joe Burrow. While his target-per-route-run rate was low last year, his touchdown history makes him a safe mid-round pick, ideally in round three or four.

Tyler Warren is expected to miss about a week with a groin injury. Adam Aizer is not concerned and views round five as a great spot to draft him.

Dan Schneier no longer considers Tyrone Tracy a good draft pick, suggesting he would be 'useless' if Cam Akers were to miss time, as no single player would likely take over the backfield.
