Not Great

AJ Brown is listed in the starting lineup and is discussed as part of an alternative trade package to acquire Jamar Chase. The source proposes sending Bashel Tutton and AJ Brown to get Jamar Chase, suggesting this as a conversation starter in a 14-team league where running back scarcity creates negotiating leverage.

Alvin Kamara has an injury that impacts the value of running backs in the fourth round, making Travis Etienne a more compelling target at that draft position.

There is concern about Breece Hall on a strong dynasty roster; the source notes 'maybe you have to be concerned about Bree Hall,' contributing to hesitation about making aggressive trades despite the team's overall strength.

In dynasty league format, Brian Thomas is decisively preferred over the package of Josh Jacobs and DeVonta Adams. The source states 'in a dynasty league, give me Brian Thomas and I don't consider twice,' indicating strong conviction in Thomas's long-term dynasty value relative to the trade offer. He is also part of the WR depth chart alongside Rome, Jordan Addison, and Tucker Craft in a shallow league format, where this depth is considered tradeable to upgrade the TE position.

Brock Bowers is the clear best player in a multi-player trade by Flock Fantasy's assessment; the source states 'Bower is best player in the deal. Not even that close,' when evaluating a trade where Bowers is acquired for DeVonta Smith, Terry McLaurin, and Bucky Irvin. This indicates strong conviction in Bowers' value relative to the three-player package.

Bucky Irving is ranked below older veteran running backs like DeAndre Swift and Travis Etienne because additional running backs have been added to his backfield, reducing his volume and opportunity.

Bucky Irvin is viewed as similar in tier to Brock Bowers' trade counterpart; the source states 'Bucky and Tuton in a similar tier,' indicating Irvin's value is comparable to the tight end being acquired in the trade.

Flock Fantasy recommends cutting Caleb Douglas from the roster. The source explicitly states 'Your team is too good where I don't see a world in which you're ever going through and putting Caleb Douglas in your lineup,' indicating Douglas is not startable and should be dropped in favor of waiver wire pickups.

Cam Ward is going into year two with long-term dynasty value as part of a young core on a rebuilding roster with significant upside potential.

Chase Brown falling to the end of the second round in a 10-team league justifies the earlier decision to take Jamar Chase at pick 101. Flock Fantasy states getting Brown that late makes the roster construction 'a lot more understandable' and notes the team has a 'well-balanced team across running back and wide receiver at the top' with both Chase Brown and Jamar Chase.

Chris Godwin is available on the waiver wire and the source recommends picking him up as free depth for a strong team, indicating he is undervalued and available for acquisition. The source also suggests cutting Stefon Diggs to pick up Godwin given injury context affecting Diggs' target share, recommending acquiring Godwin off the waiver wire for free as a roster upgrade, particularly if a 2-for-1 trade opens a roster spot.

Running back waiver-wire target with potential to become the starting running back in his backfield. The source recommends picking him up after dropping Isaiah Likely and placing Jordan Tyson on IR, noting Rodriguez 'may just may have a chance to be the starting running back in his backfield.'

Chuba Hubbard has returned to practice and is identified as a very good target if acquired in the double-digit rounds, offering value at that draft position.

Colston Loveland is going into year two with long-term dynasty value as part of a young core on a rebuilding roster with significant upside potential.

Due to Kyle Manungai's week-to-week injury status, the source identifies DeAndre Swift as the guy to target in round four, separating him and other older veteran running backs ahead of younger names like Cam Scataboo or Bucky Irving who are seeing additional running backs added to their backfields. In a single flex league, the source would be open to trading Swift alongside Dak Prescott to upgrade at quarterback, or pairing Swift with Sam Laporta to upgrade at tight end; however, in a double flex league, holding Swift for depth is preferred. Swift is part of a capable starting RB group alongside Kyron Williams in a shallow league format. Recent injury news to Pal Madungai being out for a couple weeks supports holding Swift given this development, as the injury to a teammate increases Swift's role and value.

DeVonta Smith is recommended as part of a trade package (along with Dak Prescott) to acquire Josh Allen, indicating the source views Smith as expendable depth on a strong team.

Devontae Smith and Bucky Irvin are viewed as similar in tier when evaluating a trade; the source states 'Bucky and Tuton in a similar tier,' indicating Smith's value is comparable to Bucky Irvin in the context of the proposed trade.

DK Metcalf is recommended as part of a trade package (along with Dak Prescott) to acquire Drake Maye, indicating the source views Metcalf as expendable depth on a strong team.

Flock Fantasy recommends trading for Drake Maye as an elite quarterback target, suggesting offering Dak Prescott and DK Metcalf to acquire him. Maye is viewed as an elite QB worth overpaying for.

Isaiah Likely is valued as effectively a zero by Flock Fantasy; the source states 'I would view Isaiah likely effectively as a zero. I don't think he's that much better than a waiverwire tight end,' indicating Likely should not be acquired in trades and has minimal fantasy value. In a separate segment, the source advises 'I don't see a world in which you were able to sell Isaiah likely for anything' unless he crushes week one and spikes in value. The source suggests dropping him to pick up other options, as Likely would rarely start over alternatives like Tyler Warren.

Isaiah Pacheco is being placed on injured reserve. The source states there is no real excitement around him at this point and he doesn't seem worth a roster spot unless your fantasy league allows IR stashing.

Jamar Chase and Tee Higgins are expected to be good to go by the end of the week and will be available for week one. However, the source criticizes the decision to draft Jamar Chase at pick 101 over Jamir Gibbs, stating "I'm not a massive fan of" this choice; though the source acknowledges the decision becomes more understandable given that Chase Brown fell to the end of the second round, which partially justifies the earlier wide receiver pick.

Jaylen McMillan is going into year two with long-term dynasty value as part of a young core on a rebuilding roster with significant upside potential.

Flock Fantasy identifies James Cook as a first-round talent and a compelling upgrade target in 2-for-1 trade scenarios. Cook is positioned as a significant upgrade over Kenneth Walker, with the source suggesting Walker plus Marvin Harrison could be flipped to acquire Cook.

Flock Fantasy ranks Jaylen Waddle ahead of DeAndre Swift in their evaluation, supporting trades to acquire Waddle given the receiving team's wide receiver depth.

Jaylen Warren is identified as a bench running back with significant trade leverage in a 14-team league. The source suggests Warren could be packaged with a wide receiver to acquire an elite wide receiver like Jamar Chase, given the league-wide scarcity of running back production. League mates are so desperate for running back points that they will become increasingly receptive to trades as the season progresses.

Jeremiah Love is a 50/50 shot to play week one; even if he does play, he's likely to be slow-rolled into the season with Tyler Algier seeing considerable work, creating significant uncertainty for drafters. The source notes this outcome 'does absolutely suck if you drafted Jeremiah Love.'

Jonah Coleman is a rookie with long-term dynasty value on a rebuilding roster with significant upside potential.

Flock Fantasy identifies Jonathan Taylor as a first-round talent and a compelling upgrade target in 2-for-1 trade scenarios. Taylor is positioned as a significant upgrade over Kenneth Walker, with the source suggesting Walker plus Luther Burton could be flipped to acquire Taylor, and explicitly stating 'this is something I would consider myself personally.'

Jonathan Brooks was on the sidelines during practice and appears to have some tightness that will be very important to monitor over the next few days. Additionally, Brooks is listed as a fourth running back option in a 14-team reddraft league, providing some bench leverage with the team's running back depth.

The source loves Jordan Addison but views him as tradeable depth. The source proposes a Jordan Addison and Tucker Craft for Tyler Warren deal to upgrade TE, noting that Addison can be backfilled from the waiver wire with free options like Deshawn Stribbling or Casey Conception. He is also recommended as a pivot option at wide receiver three if Malik Neighbors is unavailable due to injury, indicating he is a viable replacement with starting potential.

Jordan Love is the backup quarterback option in a 14-team reddraft league, paired with Caleb Williams as the starter. The source evaluates the team's overall composition in the context of a 14-team format where starting lineups are expected to be weaker than most leagues.

Jordan Mason is the RB2 on a rebuilding dynasty team. The source recommends selling him alongside Travis Etienne for a first and second-round pick next year as part of a rebuild strategy to acquire draft capital.

Waiver-wire pickup recommendation with injured reserve strategy. The source advises dropping Isaiah Likely to pick up Jordan Tyson and immediately place him on injured reserve to free up a roster spot, allowing the team to add running back depth without losing a bench spot.

In a 10-team, 2 WR, 1 flex league format where depth is less critical, the source loves having Josh Allen at quarterback because elite QB production is more valuable when you can afford to punt depth at RB and WR. The source also recommends trading for Josh Allen as a target quarterback upgrade, suggesting offering DeVonta Smith and Dak Prescott to acquire him, indicating Josh Allen is viewed as an elite QB worth overpaying for.

Flock Fantasy confirms comfort with Justin Herbert as the roster's starting quarterback, indicating no concerns about his role or viability at the position.

Justin Jefferson is an elite WR starter on the roster. The source emphasizes the value of landing JSN and Jefferson on the same squad, indicating this is a premium receiving duo that should not be traded away.

Flock Fantasy expresses skepticism about Kenneth Walker and recommends trading him in a 2-for-1 deal to upgrade at running back. Walker is viewed as a second-round talent compared to first-round alternatives like James Cook or Jonathan Taylor; the source suggests pairing Walker with Marvin Harrison to acquire Cook, or pairing Walker with Luther Burton to acquire Jonathan Taylor, indicating his current roster value is suboptimal.

Kyron Williams is part of a capable starting RB group alongside DeAndre Swift in a shallow 10-team league format where elite starters matter more than depth. The source describes this as a 'beautiful' pairing for the team's needs, indicating confidence in the RB room as constructed.

Flock Fantasy recommends trading for Lamar Jackson as an elite quarterback target, suggesting offering Dak Prescott and Mike Evans to acquire him. Jackson is viewed as an elite QB worth overpaying for in trade.

Flock Fantasy views Marvin Harrison as relatively close in value to Mike Godwin, stating 'I think Godwin and Marv aren't that that far apart for me,' suggesting the trade hinges more on the tight end component (Isaiah Likely vs. Marshon Lloyd) than the wide receiver swap.

Mike Evans is hoped to return to practice next week, but based on his injury history and cautious team wording, the source would not be shocked if Evans misses week one and week two of the season. The source has moved Evans down considerably in their rankings. Evans is also viewed as expendable depth in trade discussions.

Puka Nacua can be moved in a rebuild to acquire another stud wide receiver or ideally a future first-round pick. The source suggests this is a realistic trade option for a rebuilding team, noting that offloading Nacua to get another stud wide receiver is a viable path.

Puka Nakua faces ongoing off-field concerns and suspension risk. The Rams star wide receiver is awaiting a verdict on whether he will be suspended due to offseason transgressions. Additionally, his ex-girlfriend Haley (mother of Puka's son Kingston) recently made concerning claims on TikTok about their relationship, stating she experienced betrayal, abuse, and neglect that affected her mental health. While no specific allegations were made against Nakua in the video, the public nature of these personal issues adds to his off-field risk profile.

Ray Davis is preferred over Kalin Black as a keeper handcuff because the San Francisco running back depth chart is uncertain; Flock Fantasy notes 'we don't necessarily know who the running back two in San Francisco is,' making Davis the safer hold with McCaffrey's return to practice.

Rhamondre Stevenson appears wheels up for week one; Trevian Herson is walking normally in the locker room on Tuesday but has not yet been cleared to return to full practice, suggesting positive trajectory for Stevenson's availability.

Running back anchor on the team being evaluated. The source notes 'we have the anchors with Taylor and Barkley,' emphasizing that despite prioritizing wide receiver depth in the draft, the team has solid running back anchors at the top with Barkley and Jonathan Taylor.

Flock Fantasy recommends cutting Stefon Diggs due to injury context affecting his target share. With Ibuka and Jaylen McMillan injured, Diggs' target volume is expected to decline, making him a candidate for roster removal in favor of Chris Godwin.

Flock Fantasy questions the fantasy utility of Terence Ferguson, asking 'is he ever startable?' and recommends cutting him immediately. With George Kittle and Jake Ferguson already rostered, Ferguson provides no meaningful role and should be dropped for waiver wire targets like Rashad White.

Travis Etienne is a very compelling target in the fourth round if he falls to that point, due to Alvin Kamara's injury. The source would separate Etienne and other older veteran running backs ahead of younger names like Cam Scataboo or Bucky Irving who are seeing additional running backs added to their backfields. For rebuilding teams, selling Etienne for any 2027 first-round pick makes sense as part of a rebuild strategy, with the potential to land Jeremiah Smith at pick 101.

Trey McBride is classified as an elite tight end in fantasy football; however, Flock Fantasy has downtiered him in a trade proposal, trading him away to down-tier to Tyler Warren, indicating some value concern despite his elite classification.

Tucker Craft is the starting TE but the source explores multiple trade scenarios to upgrade the position: pairing Craft with Rome to target McBride; trading Craft and Roman Dunci for Colston Loveland; or trading Craft and Jordan Addison for Tyler Warren. The source views Craft as tradeable depth to acquire a higher-tier TE.

Tight end positioned as the preferred option over Isaiah Likely. The source advises against trading Warren away for a running back upgrade, stating 'I would not do that' when considering selling Warren and Marshon Lloyd for an RB upgrade. The source indicates Warren should be started over Likely.
