Dear Ms. Fantasy - Fantasy Football Training Camp: What Actually Matters

A.J. Brown is ranked as the WR8 and remains a high-end target. Despite a minor injury, he is the clear WR1 for the Eagles and is expected to see increased volume in the upcoming season.

Corum is preferred over Kenneth Gainwell as a high-upside handcuff. If Kyron Williams were to miss time, Corum has league-winning potential in the Rams' offense.

Brandon Aiyuk remains a subject of trade speculation, with the Chiefs mentioned as a logical landing spot given their history of taking chances on receivers, though the 49ers hold leverage in the situation.

While talented, Strange is capped by Jacksonville's low target share to tight ends (19.2% last year). He is a stable option for DFS matchups but not a reliable double-digit weekly scorer.

Bucky Irving has shown improvement in pass blocking and receiving, which could allow the Buccaneers to move away from a predictable run/pass split when he is on the field.

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.

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.

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.

While the addition of Stefon Diggs limits his potential upside, Chigoziem Okonkwo remains a viable late-round value option in tight end premium and deep leagues.

Colston Loveland is mentioned as a second-round pick in a draft, highlighting his potential as a fantasy asset.

If Kyle Manungay's injury is serious, Swift's value in the Bears' run-heavy offense would be massive.

Goedert is looking strong in training camp and is positioned for high red-zone usage following the departure of AJ Brown. He represents a high-end TE2 value at a low ADP.

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.

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.

Samuel's presence in the 49ers offense creates a hurdle for other receivers like Stripling, though the team plans to use him in his traditional gadget-heavy role.

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

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.

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.

Stowers missed significant off-season time due to injury and there are no encouraging reports suggesting he will be a usable fantasy asset in the near future.

Emeka Egbuka is a primary target in drafts and is more attainable than A.J. Brown. He is ranked as the WR17 and is a player the host frequently drafts.

Holani is expected to play a role in the Seahawks' backfield, specifically handling passing downs, check-downs, and receiving work.

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.

Henry's production last year was inconsistent and underwhelming, and the source is skeptical about his outlook in a crowded New England offense with a new wide receiver one.

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.

Likely remains a player the source may have to rely on at tight end, though the source expressed a desire to avoid that reliance by drafting other options.

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.

The addition of Stefon Diggs is a positive for Jayden Daniels, as it provides a much-needed reliable pass-catcher. Despite the upgrade, Daniels remains solidified as QB5 in rankings and is unlikely to see a significant ADP bump.

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.

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.

The source loves Gainwell but notes his ADP has risen too high, making him less of a value target compared to other options like Blake Corum.

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.

Despite positive reports regarding his versatility and alignment usage, Sadiq is dealing with a recurring hernia issue that raises concerns about a lingering injury or the potential need for additional surgery.

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.

If a drafter does not believe in Quentin Johnston, they should be aggressively targeting McConkey, as the Chargers' pass volume is expected to increase under the new scheme.

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.

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.

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.

While Evans remains a high-end producer when on the field, the source is avoiding him due to recurring hamstring injuries and the elevated risk that he will not stay healthy throughout the season.

The source identifies Quentin Johnston as a high-upside target in the mid-to-late rounds (ADP around pick 90-100). Despite a disappointing rookie season, he is expected to benefit from a more creative Chargers offense, a healthier offensive line, and increased passing volume under the new scheme. The source notes he actually outperformed Ladd McConkey in fantasy points per game last season and showed WR1 upside when the offensive line was healthy.

The source expects a big improvement from the Chargers' offense and remains high on Johnston as a breakout candidate.

The Buccaneers backfield is expected to operate as a committee. While Rachaad White is excellent in the passing game, the team is looking to improve their predictability by developing other options to diversify their offensive usage.

Rashee Rice is considered a highly volatile asset due to off-field legal risks, despite his high ceiling as the Chiefs' WR1. Trading him is difficult, and it is recommended to target other positions or lower-upside assets if looking to move him.

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.

Pearsall is dealing with an injury that has ended his season, which opens up opportunities for other receivers like Stripling.

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

Stefon Diggs' move to the Commanders is a positive development for Jayden Daniels, providing a reliable veteran complement to Terry McLaurin. In best ball drafts, Diggs is currently settling into a round 8-9 ADP range, likely going ahead of players like Quentin Johnston and Wan'Dale Robinson.

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.

The addition of Stefon Diggs may cause a slight dip in Terry McLaurin's ADP, which makes him an even better buy. He remains the clear WR1 in Washington and offers high-end WR3 value at his current draft price.

The source agrees with the sentiment that McLaurin is poised to have a strong season within the new Washington wide receiver core.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Xavier Worthy is dealing with a shoulder injury; while reports suggest it is not serious, it remains a point of concern for his availability.

Charbonnet's availability is in question for Week 1, and the source hopes the team is simply being conservative with his injury recovery.

Zay Flowers is poised for a potential top-five season. With a target share consistently over 25-28% and a healthy Lamar Jackson, he is expected to see increased production in a more efficient offense.
