A.J. Brown

PositiveProjection12:35

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman are high on AJ Brown, expecting a strong season with Drake Maye targeting him 'early, often and always.' While they stop short of projecting Randy Moss-like top-five numbers, they believe a WR1 overall finish is within his range of outcomes given his consistent track record in Philadelphia.

Insight page

Alec Pierce

PositiveValue21:42

Bob Harris is buying into Alec Pierce as a fantasy investment, noting the Colts' heavy investment in him. Despite ankle issues, Harris argues the price has dropped enough to make him a viable wide receiver four.

Insight page

Baker Mayfield

PositiveProjection9:34

Matt Waldman and Bob Harris expect a rebound for Baker Mayfield, noting that his struggles last year were largely injury-related. Waldman highlights improved pocket presence creating opportunities for receivers, and Harris suggests Mayfield could deliver QB1 numbers if his receiving corps and Tristan Wirfs stay healthy.

Insight page

Caleb Williams

PositiveProjection24:10

Matt Waldman projects Caleb Williams for 40 touchdown passes this season, citing his improved play, the team's ability to space the field, and a projected completion percentage in the 60% range.

Insight page

Cam Akers

PositiveValue17:46

Matt Waldman and Bob Harris view Cam Akers as a fantasy value. Waldman dismisses behavioral concerns, comparing his personality to John Riggins. Harris notes Akers' erratic behavior is a 'feature, not a bug' and highlights his previous usage, noting he played 69% of snaps and handled 60% of touches when healthy last year, with potential for red zone usage.

Insight page

Charlie Kolar

PositiveSleeper15:07

Bob Harris suggests Charlie Kolar has a 'Mark Andrews peak season feeler,' making him a top waiver wire target for managers with banged-up tight ends; Harris acknowledges potential volatility due to competition from David Njoku and other offensive weapons.

Insight page

Colston Loveland

PositiveBreakout25:19

Matt Waldman identifies Colston Loveland as a candidate to finish as the overall TE1 and potentially a WR1 in fantasy, driven by the team's heavy usage of multi-tight end sets and his high projected production.

Insight page

D'Andre Swift

PositiveUsage26:52

Bob Harris is heavily invested in D'Andre Swift, expecting his target share to increase to levels similar to his time with Ben Johnson in Detroit. Harris views him as a top-20 running back and a value pick in his current price range.

Insight page

Daniel Jones

PositiveProjection23:39

Bob Harris remains high on Daniel Jones, citing his strong performance when healthy; the team averaged 32+ points per game when he was fully healthy through week 10, compared to 28 points after his injury, before the offense collapsed.

Insight page

David Njoku

NegativeUsage15:47

David Njoku is identified as a factor that could limit Charlie Kolar's weekly consistency and target volume in the offense.

Insight page

Derrick Henry

PositiveProjection8:43

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman project a strong season for the 32-year-old Derrick Henry, citing his unique talent and potential for 1,500-1,700 rushing yards. They believe he should be a top-five fantasy back, provided the offensive line improves and Lamar Jackson remains healthy.

Insight page

Joe Burrow

NegativeInjury10:06

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman express hope for Joe Burrow's health, noting that his past injuries, such as appendicitis, were not chronic and compare his situation to Matthew Stafford's history of 'weird' injuries rather than recurring health issues.

Insight page

Joe Flacco

NegativeInjury22:11

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman are monitoring the quarterback's health post-surgery; while reports are positive and he has not missed practice, they emphasize the need to see him throw under pressure to confirm he can generate the necessary velocity and torque.

Insight page

Keaton Mitchell

PositiveSleeper16:31

Bob Harris feels Keaton Mitchell is a viable fantasy RB3 candidate who offers dynamic, game-breaking ability in space; Harris warns against trading away other assets to acquire him due to health risks and potential volatility.

Insight page

Kyle Monangai

PositiveProjection26:52

Matt Waldman and Bob Harris project Kyle Monangai as a top-20 running back alongside D'Andre Swift. Monangai is noted for his conceptual running ability and improved receiving skills, with the duo expected to function like a smaller version of the Nick Chubb/Kareem Hunt backfield.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

PositiveProjection10:44

Matt Waldman expects a rebound season for Lamar Jackson, noting that despite adjustments to a new coordinator and some caution regarding Rashod Bateman's legal issues, the supporting cast of Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers, and Derrick Henry provides enough stability for Jackson to succeed.

Insight page

Mark Andrews

NegativeProjection15:07

Mark Andrews is used as a benchmark for elite tight end production, specifically referencing his 2021 season where he finished as the overall TE1.

Insight page

Najee Harris

NegativeRole20:26

Bob Harris expresses skepticism regarding Najee Harris's immediate readiness to contribute due to his recovery from an Achilles injury, suggesting the process could take months or potentially never materialize.

Insight page

Quentin Johnston

PositiveMatchup8:20

Matt Waldman and Bob Harris suggest Quentin Johnston is a viable fantasy starter for week one against the Arizona Cardinals, noting that while he is not typically an automatic start, this specific matchup makes him a player to consider.

Insight page

Stefon Diggs

PositiveValue13:44

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman believe Stefon Diggs is the best receiver on the Commanders and will match his previous production. Harris highlights Diggs' consistency as a WR2 or better and notes he is a great value in drafts because his ADP has remained suppressed.

Insight page

Terry McLaurin

PositiveUsage14:00

Bob Harris notes that Terry McLaurin's presence on the field helps create a favorable environment for his teammates, and it is very possible that McLaurin himself emerges as the leading target getter in the Commanders' offense.

Insight page

Tyjae Spears

PositiveRole11:06

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman are skeptical of a Tyjae Spears breakout, projecting him as a top-25 back rather than a top-15 option. They cite the presence of Tony Pollard and the Titans' tendency to throw as limiting factors, with Harris describing the team's usage as 'slow torture' for his career.
