Jonah ColemanPositiveSleeperAug 8, 2026

Jonah Coleman is receiving positive buzz from Sean Payton. While currently RB53, he is a candidate to emerge in the Broncos' backfield if J.K. Dobbins or R.J. Harvey falter.

Kenyon SadiqNegativeInjuryAug 8, 2026

Kenyon Sadiq is expected to miss the rest of the offseason following hernia surgery. This setback is significant for his development as a rookie, and his ADP is expected to fall.

Tre HarrisPositiveBreakoutAug 8, 2026

Trey Harris is making splash plays in camp while Quentin Johnston struggles with tracking and fighting for the ball. Harris's ability to win all over the field and block could earn him a significant role in the Chargers' offense.

Breece HallNegativeUsageAug 8, 2026

B. John Robinson expresses hesitation regarding Breece Hall's fantasy outlook, citing concerns about the Jets' offense and the potential for a committee backfield involving Isaiah Davis and Braelon Allen.

Tank DellPositiveRoleAug 8, 2026

Tank Dell is practicing in pads and looking like his old self. With Jalen Noel relegated to special teams and Jaden Higgins expected to be the WR2, Dell is positioned to fill the valuable slot/layup role in the Texans' offense.

MarShawn LloydPositiveSleeperAug 8, 2026

Marshawn Lloyd is taking first-team reps while Josh Jacobs is injured. He is essentially free in drafts and is a top waiver wire target if he goes undrafted.

Josh JacobsNegativeInjuryAug 8, 2026

Josh Jacobs is missing time with a groin injury, a recurring issue for him. With Marshawn Lloyd taking first-team reps and Jacobs' lack of explosive playmaking, his RB14 ADP (29th overall) is becoming risky.

Tua TagovailoaNegativeInjuryAug 8, 2026

Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with a recurring back issue that has limited his practice participation since late July, leading to a rotation of snaps with Michael Penix.

Jaylen WaddleNegativeInjuryAug 8, 2026

Jaylen Waddle is dealing with a muscle strain that caused a noticeable limp at practice. While expected to miss only 4-5 days, his history of injuries and the team's tendency to spread the ball around create concern.

Stefon DiggsNegativeValueAug 8, 2026

Stefon Diggs signed a one-year, $12 million deal with the Commanders. While his ADP is officially WR57, he is frequently being drafted in the 40s alongside players like Chris Godwin and Jordan Addison, a price point B. John Robinson is skeptical of.

Jonathan TaylorPositiveValueAug 8, 2026

Jonathan Taylor signed a two-year, $44 million extension with the Colts. He is currently being drafted around 6th overall, though B. John Robinson questions his value relative to other top-tier options like Amon-Ra St. Brown and CeeDee Lamb.

Jahmyr GibbsPositiveRoleAug 8, 2026

Jahmyr Gibbs signed a three-year, $75 million extension with $51.5 million guaranteed, ending his hold-in and securing his role in the Lions' offense.

Trevor LawrencePositiveProjectionAug 7, 2026

Trevor Lawrence is viewed as having overall QB1 upside at a very cheap price, making him a strong target for auction strategies.

Josh JacobsPositiveValueAug 7, 2026

Josh Jacobs is recommended as a backup auction target because his price may be suppressed by legal concerns, despite the likelihood that he will play a full season.

Kenneth Walker IIIPositiveUsageAug 7, 2026

Kenneth Walker III is gaining hype due to positive training camp news regarding his involvement in the passing game, suggesting he may be used as a three-down back.

Jahan DotsonPositiveBreakoutAug 7, 2026

Jahan Dotson is receiving positive training camp reports, and the source hopes he can finally break out as a consistent wide receiver two in the offense.

Trey McBridePositiveValueAug 7, 2026

The source is optimistic about Trey McBride, having drafted him in the first round, and notes that getting him in the second round represents significant value.

Dallas GoedertPositiveProjectionAug 7, 2026

Dallas Goedert is viewed as a more consistent and higher-upside option than Hunter Henry, particularly regarding touchdown potential, after stepping up with 11 touchdowns last season.

Hunter HenryPositiveValueAug 7, 2026

The source has pushed Hunter Henry down their rankings due to concerns about his job security with the emergence of rookie tight ends and a shift in the Patriots' target distribution toward receivers like AJ Brown and Romeo Doubs.

Michael Penix Jr.NegativeRoleAug 7, 2026

The source suggests there could be a teeter-totter situation between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. due to the new coaching staff's desire to evaluate Penix, though Tua remains the likely week one starter.

Tua TagovailoaNegativeInjuryAug 7, 2026

Tua Tagovailoa is dealing with a back injury, but it is not considered a major issue and he is expected to be the starter for week one.

Drake LondonPositiveProjectionAug 7, 2026

The source acknowledges the bold take of drafting Drake London as a top-five overall wide receiver, noting he has the upside to reach that tier, though he is also considered injury-prone.

CeeDee LambNegativeProjectionAug 7, 2026

CeeDee Lamb had a subpar season last year while playing through injury, but the source expects his volume to remain strong despite the presence of George Pickens.

Travis KelceNegativeValueAug 7, 2026

The source expresses low-key concern regarding Travis Kelce's fantasy value, noting he appeared to enjoy the off-season perhaps too much, and is considering finding other options.

Demarcus RobinsonPositiveSleeperAug 7, 2026

The source is a fan of Demarcus Robinson and suggests taking shots on him in deep leagues as a potential early-season play, despite previous disappointment.

Derrick HenryPositiveValueAug 7, 2026

Derrick Henry is considered a high-round three or borderline round two pick, representing the depth of RB1-caliber players available this year.

Chase BrownPositiveValueAug 7, 2026

Chase Brown is noted as a running back whose ADP has been pushed up, making him a relevant target in the second round of drafts.

Saquon BarkleyPositiveValueAug 7, 2026

Saquon Barkley is identified as a high-value running back target available in the second round for those employing a hero RB strategy.

De'Von AchanePositiveValueAug 7, 2026

De'Von Achane is highlighted as a strong running back option available in the second round, contributing to the source's recommendation of a hero RB strategy.

Rashee RicePositiveValueAug 7, 2026

The source prefers the side of the trade involving Rashee Rice and Lemon over Flowers and Stours, citing concerns that Stours may not pan out as expected.

Tank DellPositiveSleeperAug 7, 2026

The source recommends targeting Tank Dell in late rounds. Because he did not start training camp on the PUP list, the source expects him to be ready for Week 1, though he may have a slower start to the season. The discount on his ADP makes him a worthwhile gamble despite injury concerns.

Trey McBrideNegativeUsageAug 7, 2026

The source is very high on Trey McBride, noting that he consistently receives high volume (10+ targets per week) regardless of the team's overall performance. The source views him as a steady producer and is comfortable drafting him despite the risk associated with the Cardinals' offense.

Drake LondonNegativeProjectionAug 7, 2026

Drake London is acknowledged as having a very high ceiling, but the source expresses concern regarding the Falcons' quarterback situation (Tua Tagovailoa vs. Michael Penix). While the source would feel comfortable with London if Penix were the guaranteed starter, the uncertainty makes London a risky top-10 pick, leading the source to prefer safer options like CeeDee Lamb.

CeeDee LambPositiveProjectionAug 7, 2026

CeeDee Lamb is ranked as the WR5 and is considered a very safe, high-volume option. The source notes that even with George Pickens' presence, Lamb was pacing for over 150 targets in healthy games last season. While he may lack the extreme ceiling of some other top receivers, his volume with Dak Prescott makes him a reliable anchor for fantasy teams.

George PickensPositiveValueAug 7, 2026

The source recommends keeping George Pickens, noting that he is a valuable asset who could potentially be paid as a WR1 elsewhere if he does not remain with the Steelers. The source expresses confidence in his long-term outlook.

Justin JeffersonPositiveProjectionAug 7, 2026

The source remains high on Justin Jefferson, preferring him in keeper formats and viewing him as a high-ceiling asset. Despite concerns about the Vikings' quarterback situation, the source believes Kevin O'Connell can maximize Jefferson's production, noting that Jefferson has historically paced for 1400+ yards in every season except last year.

Marvin Harrison Jr.NegativeRoleAug 7, 2026

Marvin Harrison Jr. is established as the clear WR1 for the Cardinals, but the source notes that because the current coaching regime lacks inherent loyalty to him, his role could be challenged if he underperforms early in the season.

Michael WilsonPositiveSleeperAug 7, 2026

Michael Wilson is highlighted as a great target in the mid-rounds. While he is currently behind Marvin Harrison Jr. on the depth chart, the source suggests that a new coaching regime in Arizona could lead to a shift in focus if Harrison underperforms early in the season.

Ladd McConkeyNegativeProjectionAug 7, 2026

The source notes that while Quentin Johnston is a preferred target, drafting Ladd McConkey is a reasonable alternative if one is not buying into the Johnston breakout. The source clarifies that Johnston outperforming McConkey in fantasy points per game last season is not an insult to McConkey, but rather a reflection of the Chargers' overall offensive struggles due to poor offensive line play.
