The Titans' move toward an up-tempo offensive scheme is expected to increase snap volume, which should benefit Tony Pollard's fantasy outlook.

The Titans' shift to an up-tempo offense is a positive development for Cam Ward, as the increased volume and pace of play should benefit the team's skill players.

Despite his age (33) and heavy career usage, Derrick Henry remains a 'unicorn' who continues to perform at a high level, defying previous expectations that he would decline due to wear and tear.

Travis Etienne is expected to be part of a shared backfield rotation in Carolina alongside Chuba Hubbard and Jonathan Brooks.

Jonathan Brooks is returning from a major injury and is expected to be part of a committee backfield in Carolina alongside Chuba Hubbard and Travis Etienne.

While Chuba Hubbard is currently in the lead for touches in the Panthers' backfield, the team is expected to spread the wealth among Hubbard, Jonathan Brooks, and Travis Etienne, making the exact distribution of touches difficult to predict.

The source mentions a personal history of wanting Chuba Hubbard to succeed, but expresses concern regarding the impact of the Panthers' offensive line injuries on the team's running game.

The source notes that the improved health and scheme of the Eagles' offensive line will be great news for Saquon Barkley's fantasy outlook.

The source describes the latter-day version of Dallas Goedert as a 'lumbering' player who struggled to run effectively last year despite scoring touchdowns, using him as a comparison point for Travis Kelce's speed.

The source acknowledges that Travis Kelce is likely nearing the end of his career, noting he turns 37 in October. While the source downgraded his route-running grade to a B+ and expects a low ceiling, they believe his floor remains surprisingly high due to his craftiness and ability to find soft spots in coverage. He is ranked as the TE11.

The source acknowledges Luther Burden's electric, water-bug style of play and gives him an A- in elusiveness. However, the source disagrees with the current market sentiment that Burden should be drafted significantly higher than Rome Odunze, maintaining a higher ranking for Odunze.

The source remains high on Rome Odunze, bumping his elusiveness grade to an A-. Despite offseason concerns regarding a foot injury, the source dismisses the panic as overblown. Odunze is described as a smooth, polished, and deliberate route runner who looked like Nico Collins on tape before his injury. The source ranks him higher than Luther Burden and views him as a strong prospect as long as he stays healthy.

The source notes that Malik Davis will likely be involved in the Cowboys' backfield rotation and may prove annoying to fantasy managers at times, emphasizing that no single running back will have the backfield to himself.

The source highlights Javonte Williams as a physical, pile-moving running back who excels at breaking tackles. Despite a lack of elite elusiveness, he is viewed as a strong touchdown-scoring threat. The source expresses high enthusiasm for drafting him in the fourth round and would still consider him in the third, noting that while he won't have the backfield to himself, his physical profile makes him a valuable asset.

The source notes that the Cowboys gave Miles Sanders a contract similar to the one they gave Javonte Williams, implying the team may have misjudged their value.

Javonte Williams climbed to an A- grade in power for the 2026 Almanac. He is described as a pile-moving, tackle-breaking runner who ran mean in 2025.

Alvin Kamara took a pay cut to stay in New Orleans, which the source views negatively, noting that it complicates the role for Travis Etienne.

Travis Etienne's speed grade was bumped from a B+ to an A- in the 2026 Almanac. Despite being 27, he showed sharp speed in his 2025 walk year. He is currently ranked as the source's RB19.

Christian McCaffrey maintains an A+ grade for elusiveness in the 2026 Almanac, unchanged from the previous year.

Devon Achane maintains an A+ grade for both speed and elusiveness in the 2026 Almanac, unchanged from the previous year.

Drake Maye is ranked as the source's QB4. His accuracy grade was bumped from a B+ to an A, supported by his league-leading 72% completion percentage despite ranking second in air yards at the target.

The source mentions reading the Jaden Daniels profile in a July episode, noting his second-year status as a key context for his development.

The source references Chuba Hubbard's 2025 performance as an example of a player who can turn into a disappointment, illustrating the risk of holding onto players too long.

Riley Nowakowski was drafted in the fifth round by the Steelers as a tight end/fullback hybrid, though he did not make the Almanac's top 30 list.

Bijan Robinson has signed a $51 million guaranteed deal, removing the stress of a potential holdout and making him a safe top-tier draft pick.

The source notes that Christian McCaffrey remains a top consideration for the RB1 spot in PPR formats, potentially alongside Jonathan Taylor, should the hold-in situations for other top backs persist.

The source identifies Jonathan Taylor as a potential RB1 candidate if Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson remain unsigned and miss significant training camp time.

Similar to Jahmyr Gibbs, the source states they cannot draft Bijan Robinson at 1.01 or 1.02 if he continues to hold in through August, citing the high risk of early-season underperformance or injury following a missed training camp.

The source warns that if Jahmyr Gibbs continues to 'hold in' through August, he will be removed from round one consideration. The source cites historical precedent where players holding out often struggle or suffer injuries early in the season, making them a risky investment at their current 1.01-1.02 ADP.

The source notes that a trade involving Trey Benson to a team with a running back injury would be a moment that tests the market's valuation of Jeremiah Love.

The source suggests that a potential trade of James Conner to Green Bay would be a significant factor that would test Jeremiah Love's ADP.

Jeremiah Love is a polarizing prospect with significant ADP uncertainty. While the source ranks him 16th among running backs, they express concern about the Cardinals' difficult schedule, poor offensive line, and the potential for a committee backfield. The source warns against the 'Clyde Edwards-Helaire syndrome' of over-drafting based on draft capital rather than immediate workload.

Jordan Addison is ranked outside the top 40 (44 standard, 47 PPR) by the source, who notes that they are still bearing the 'bruises' of his disappointing performance last season.

Justin Jefferson is ranked around 6th or 7th among receivers, but the source expresses concern about his downward mobility due to uncertainty at the quarterback position. While he possesses elite talent and target volume, the potential for inconsistent quarterback play creates risk, leading the source to fear he could drop further in rankings if reports on the quarterback situation remain mixed.

The source notes that while reports suggest Kyler Murray is 'dialed in' and playing better than any Minnesota quarterback from last year, there is skepticism due to historical inconsistency and the tendency for training camp reports to be overly optimistic. The source remains unconvinced of his status as a fantasy savior, citing his historical difficulty throwing with anticipation.

The source currently ranks Trey Tucker slightly higher than other Raiders depth receivers, noting his speed as a potential asset, though he remains outside the top 60 wide receivers. He is a candidate to monitor for late-round value.

The source ranks Jalen Naylor highest among the Raiders' secondary receivers, noting he has a knack for getting open, though he is currently outside the top 60 wide receivers. He is a late-round sleeper candidate to monitor.

The source identifies Brock Bowers as the primary target in the Raiders' offense, noting that Clint Kubiak's track record involves hyper-targeting one wide receiver, but in this case, the target is the tight end.

The source believes it is unlikely that Zach Charbonnet will be ready for Week 1 due to his January torn ACL, and expects him to ramp up at some point during the season, which complicates the backfield outlook for Jadarian Price.

Jadarian Price is receiving positive reports for his pass blocking and pass catching, and was the first back up with the first-team offense in a recent scrimmage. The source ranks him as RB25 but warns against overdrafting him, as his value depends on him being the feature back and he faces competition from Zach Charbonnet later in the season.
