Tyler Warren is considered extremely underrated due to negative sentiment surrounding the Colts' passing offense. The source suggests he could lead the team in targets and finish as a top-three fantasy tight end.

Jayden Reed is identified as the primary slot receiver for the Packers and is expected to be on the field frequently in 11 personnel sets, with some additional usage in 12 personnel.

Luther Burden is a notable prospect to monitor, with the source buying into the hype surrounding him due to 'insane' training camp reports. He is considered a unique talent and is being tracked alongside top tight end prospects.

Matthew Golden is a strong value pick at his 10th-11th round ADP. Despite a quiet rookie year, the source believes Green Bay will prioritize his development as an outside starter opposite Christian Watson. He is projected to be a route-heavy player, and his high-variance, deep-threat profile is expected to benefit from being attached to Jordan Love and Matt LaFleur.

Josh Downs is expected to command a very high snap rate and target volume in Indianapolis due to the departure of Michael Pittman Jr. and a lack of depth behind Alec Pierce. The source emphasizes that once Downs is on the field, his playmaking ability makes him difficult to remove from the offense.

Parker Washington is viewed as the clear WR1 in Jacksonville, preferred over all other team receivers regardless of ADP. He is a high-ceiling target who excelled as a downfield threat and YAC playmaker last year, recording all three of the Jaguars' 100-yard receiving games including playoffs. The source highlights his chemistry with Trevor Lawrence on middle-of-the-field targets, notes that Liam Coen's scheme will provide high-value scoring opportunities, and cites 'insane' training camp reports suggesting he will be used in diverse personnel packages.

Emeka Egbuka is a smash play in the fourth round, projected to step into the WR1 role in Tampa Bay following Mike Evans' departure. The source expects offensive coordinator Zack Robinson to utilize Egbuka similarly to how he used Drake London in Atlanta, moving him into the slot to generate easy separation and high-volume production.

The source notes that A.J. Brown is no longer on the team, which serves as the primary catalyst for the increased target and air yard projection for DeVonta Smith.

DeVonta Smith is a major breakout candidate poised to command a 26-30% target share following the departure of A.J. Brown. Despite a minor hamstring injury, the source is not concerned, emphasizing Smith's elite separation skills and the new Philadelphia offensive scheme under Kellen Moore, which features more play-action and pre-snap motion to generate easy targets.

The source expresses a strong fade on Chuba Hubbard, describing him as a 'slightly above average' player who has never ranked in the top 30 in elusive or breakaway rating and fails to provide the necessary juice for an offense.

Jonathan Brooks is considered an 'objective GOAT' and a primary breakout target. Despite a likely committee start, he is expected to overtake Chuba Hubbard as the season progresses due to superior explosiveness and tackle-breaking ability. He is a strong investment in the 9th-10th round, especially with Raheem Blackshear no longer on the team.

The source notes that Trevor Lawrence's nine rushing touchdowns from the previous season are likely to regress, which negatively impacts the overall touchdown projection for the team's backfield.

The source explicitly advises against drafting Keilan Robinson, grouping him with Chris Rodriguez Jr. as backfield options to avoid in favor of Tank Bigsby.

Tank Bigsby is identified as an explosive runner with significant pass-catching upside, expected to handle early-down passing work in Liam Cohen's offense. The source views him as a preferred target over other Jacksonville backfield options, comparing his potential fantasy value to the role Travis Etienne held last year, which was driven by big plays and pass-catching production.

The source views Chris Rodriguez Jr. as a limited asset who does not catch passes and will likely be relegated to early-down work, absorbing hits without providing the valuable fantasy touches associated with pass-catching roles. He is considered a concern for the Jacksonville backfield due to his size and connection with coach Liam Cohen, though he has missed significant time in July due to a lower-body injury.

Omarian Hampton is projected to be a three-down bellcow for the Chargers in 2026. The team has revamped their offensive line by adding Tyler Bottes and Jake Slaughter, and the hiring of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel—who historically maximizes running back production—positions Hampton for high-volume fantasy success. Despite potential situational usage for Keaton Mitchell, Hampton is viewed as a high-draft-capital workhorse in a high-powered offense.

The source considers Michael Wilson a superior fantasy asset to Marvin Harrison Jr. this year, highlighting his elite separation skills; Wilson ranked 11th in separation score among 109 qualified receivers last year while primarily operating at the X position. He is described as a versatile, strong separator with a playstyle comparable to Puka Nacua and Robert Woods.

The source projects Jordan Tyson to emerge as a 1A/1B option alongside Chris Olave by the second half of the season, noting his high talent level as a top-eight draft pick and his potential to outproduce Olave in specific games.

The source is hesitant to draft Chris Olave at his current early third-round ADP, citing increased target competition and the potential for Jordan Tyson to emerge as a 1A/1B option by the second half of the season, potentially outproducing Olave in specific games.

The source identifies Jakobi Meyers as being ahead of Brian Thomas Jr. on the Jacksonville depth chart, contributing to the limited volume projection for the rookie.

The source is skeptical of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s immediate fantasy impact, suggesting he is likely a year away from being a truly useful asset. Concerns include poor quarterback play and a lack of creative offensive usage. The source explicitly warns that drafting him highly expecting a major bounceback is a mistake and expects him to underperform compared to Michael Wilson.

The source expects Brian Thomas Jr. to be a fantasy disappointment due to limited volume, projecting him as the WR3 in Jacksonville behind Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers with a floor of 4-5 targets per game. The source warns that he will 'stink' and is significantly inferior to Parker Washington.

The source uses Chris Godwin's historical production in Liam Coen's offense as a benchmark for the type of season expected from Parker Washington in the slot.

The source projects a breakout season for Parker Washington, identifying him as the clear number one pass catcher in Jacksonville. His role in Liam Coen's offense is expected to mirror the high-volume slot production Chris Godwin saw in Tampa Bay. Washington is praised for his chemistry with Trevor Lawrence and his ability to play both inside and outside.

The source views Jonah Coleman as insurance depth for J.K. Dobbins, not expecting him to eat into Dobbins' starting role or base work.

The source projects R.J. Harvey to serve primarily as a pass-catching specialist in the Denver backfield with limited carries, noting he is not an early-down grinder.

The source notes that Malik Nabers represents increased target competition for DeVonta Smith following his selection in the first round of the draft, but also reports that Nabers is trending in the right direction within the Giants' offense, which is expected to perform better than current market expectations.

The source identifies J.K. Dobbins as the clearest value at running back, comparing his situation to Javonte Williams' breakout. Dobbins is expected to be the clear early-down starter in a high-scoring Denver offense with a top-tier offensive line, despite injury concerns. Jonah Coleman is viewed as insurance depth that will not eat into Dobbins' starting role.

The source believes the new offensive scheme, featuring more under-center play, rollouts, and play-action, is phenomenal for Jalen Hurts. This approach is expected to create easier releases and throws for him. The source notes that Hurts averaged more pass attempts per game than Sam Darnold last season, countering concerns about his passing volume.

The source acknowledges Zay Flowers as an alternative candidate for a breakout role, though they prefer DeVonta Smith.

The source acknowledges Emeka Egbuka as an alternative candidate for a breakout role, though they prefer DeVonta Smith.

DeVonta Smith is identified as the primary breakout candidate, with a mid-third round ADP and a transition into a clear WR1 role following the departure of target competition. The source expects the new offensive scheme under Kellen Moore to utilize Smith in space more effectively rather than just as a downfield threat, and considers him the clear alpha wide receiver one for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The source uses Jaxon Smith-Njigba as a historical benchmark for a breakout candidate, noting his mid-third round ADP and role as a league winner in the previous season.

Washington's offensive coordinator David Blau will move Jaylen Daniels under center frequently and deploy him in play-action rollouts and bootlegs, a scheme fit that complements his skill set significantly. The source views Blau as one of the higher-probability candidates to become a next-tier offensive mind, and Daniels' combination of rushing upside (thousand-yard potential at QB) paired with accurate downfield passing (25+ passing TDs, 3,800+ yards projected) offers no-brainer value in the fifth or sixth round.

Ladd McConkey is listed as the third of six bounceback candidates in the source's 2025 fantasy football draft strategy. The source suggests that a first-five-rounds roster of Saquon Barkley, Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey, Mike Evans, and Jaden Daniels would constitute a strong fantasy team.

Willing to bet on a fantasy bounceback for Kyler Murray in Kevin O'Neill's Minnesota Vikings offense despite his poor 2024 season in Arizona. O'Neill has consistently elevated subpar quarterbacks to strong fantasy production. Murray is one of the easier QB2 picks in Superflex at his current ADP (QB15-18); his rushing floor alone makes him a top-12 fantasy QB annually. He has elite weapons (Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jawan Jennings, TJ Hockenson) in a dome offense. The source does not expect him to be a top-10 real-life QB but projects him as a top-12/13 fantasy QB if healthy.

Re-signed with San Francisco 49ers at a much cheaper price after his Washington deal ($18 million per year) didn't work out cap-wise. Knows the system well and can be plugged in immediately; will likely be used more than most people expect. Does not overlap with Mike Evans on the field and does not eat into his target share; the two are completely different players. The source is intrigued by Debo Samuel as a bounceback candidate at a cheaper price in a system he knows well.

Coming back from an Achilles tear that occurred in January; at an advanced age and recovering from a very serious injury, which adds depth chart uncertainty for the 49ers offense.

Perennially underrated by Vegas; consistently receives among the strongest passing lines for quarterbacks with very high projected passing yards and touchdowns. His passing touchdown rate is among league leaders due to 49ers' exceptional red zone efficiency, particularly inside the 10-yard line, which directly benefits Mike Evans's touchdown upside.

Brought in on a one-year, $6 million deal; will likely be a lower-priority target option compared to Mike Evans and Debo Samuel in the 49ers offense.
