JJ Zachariason's 16 Fantasy Football Players that WON the Offseason! 👀
STACKED extracted the fantasy-relevant player signal from this video and kept the full transcript here for context.
Player insights
Alec Pierce
Even if Pierce receives 115-120 targets, that would represent a real win for him, suggesting limited upside compared to Downs who has consistently been a target earner.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
Bowers avoided any notable wide receiver additions this offseason besides Jaylen Naylor and could operate in a JSN-like role as the primary target in the offense.
Insight pageWith improved offensive line play, a better system under Clint Kubiak, and a hopeful upgrade at quarterback, Bowers is positioned to see significant work and be the number one target in the offense.
Insight pageAnalyst projects Brock Bowers to rank ahead of Trey McBride in redraft rankings, positioning him as tight end one for the season with potential to see massive workload in the offense.
Insight pageChase Brown
Analyst projects Chase Brown should be in the tier after the 1-2 turn at running back, ahead of Amari and Hampton, believing he's undervalued despite strong 2024 performance.
Insight pageFrom week 6 onward in 2024, Brown averaged 67% rushing share, 14% target share, and 19.4 PPR points per game; from week 8 onward he averaged 21.5 PPR points per game, ranking behind only CMC, Bejian Robinson, and Jir Gibbs.
Insight pageBengals have signaled comfort with Brown in the role by not investing in running back depth for two consecutive years, with only Sama Perine and Taj Brooks as backups, and the offense remains largely unchanged year-over-year.
Insight pageBrown was a league winner down the stretch last year and the Bengals made no changes to alter that trajectory, making him a strong value pick.
Insight pageChris Rodriguez
Rodriguez has only six career receptions and historically players with fewer than 20 receptions after three years don't become 8-9% target share players, limiting his fantasy ceiling.
Insight pageRodriguez has no pass-catching ability whatsoever and has never been targeted throughout his career, limiting his fantasy upside.
Insight pageJayden Price
Analyst expresses concern that Price may be limited to between-the-20s production without goal-line work or significant receiving upside, projecting a top-20 ceiling rather than top-10 in Dynasty.
Insight pageAnalyst notes that Seattle likely won't give Price a full bellcow workload to start the season, even with Emanuel Wilson and George Helani as competition.
Insight pageAnalyst worries that Zack Charbanet's return in late November/early December could limit Price's workload and goal-line opportunities when Price is hitting his stride.
Insight pageJayden Reed
Reed is an offseason winner with similar logic to Josh Downs, having played 74-76% slot rate in his first three years and positioned for increased outside opportunities.
Insight pageJosh Downs
With Michael Pitman gone and no wide receiver investment in the draft, Downs is positioned for increased outside snaps and could smash as a double-digit round pick.
Insight pageDowns has played slot exclusively (75-81% slot rate each year for three years) with only 82 snaps out wide last year, but with Pitman gone and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as the only outside competition, he should see increased perimeter snaps.
Insight pageDowns has been very efficient per route run throughout his career and analyst believes teams have typecast him without allowing him to showcase his talent on the perimeter.
Insight pageTrey McBride
Analyst believes McBride is overvalued, citing uncertain quarterback situation, more competition at pass catcher, unsustainable passing volume regression of 3-4 attempts per game, and hot touchdown scoring down the stretch last year.
