Insight page

Baker Mayfield

NegativeValue19:53

Matt Waldman suggests Baker Mayfield should be worried about his long-term security despite his recent three-year, $165 million contract, noting that teams often move on from expensive quarterback deals.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveUsage5:49

Insight page

Colston Loveland

PositiveValue28:24

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman agree that Colston Loveland is a buy-low candidate, noting he is ahead of last year's pace and should see an uptick in production once Caleb Williams returns to the lineup.

Insight page

Fernando Mendoza

PositiveBreakout29:54

Bob Harris and Matt Waldman both expect Fernando Mendoza to see starting action for New England later this season, likely after their Week 13 bye. Despite entering in cleanup duty during a blowout, Mendoza showed promise by scrambling well, using a pump fake to buy time, and successfully navigating second and third reads on a 51-yard drive.

Insight page

Jayden Daniels

NegativeProjection19:47

Matt Waldman notes that Jayden Daniels had an up-and-down first start, showing good game management by throwing the ball away when necessary, but displaying inconsistent timing on short and intermediate routes that often forced receivers to turn back for the ball.

Insight page

Jaylin Noel

PositiveUsage14:16

Matt Waldman highlights Jaylen Noel's strong performance and argues that he deserves more targets in the current offensive scheme.

Insight page

Keaton Mitchell

PositiveRole25:59

Matt Waldman highlights Katon Mitchell alongside Kamani Videll as the Chargers' running backs with the highest potential for big plays, making them the preferred options in that backfield for PPR leagues.

Insight page

Kirk Cousins

NegativeUsage22:18

Kirk Cousins is currently ranked 10th in passing attempts.

Insight page

Malik Benson

PositiveUsage50:22

Malik Benson is noted for having recurring issues with drops, specifically failing to secure a target at the boundary from Fernando Mendoza that would have been a significant play.

Insight page

Malik Nabers

NegativeBust23:35

Matt Waldman advises selling high on Malik Nabers if your team is struggling, citing concerns about the quarterback situation and the potential for a change to J.J. McCarthy. Waldman expresses skepticism about Nabers becoming a startable fantasy asset this year, noting underdeveloped route running and a lack of separation against tight coverage.

Insight page

Marvin Harrison Jr.

NegativeProjection10:04

Matt Waldman is skeptical of Marvin Harrison Jr.'s current standing, noting he is not yet a complete route runner, lacks 'smart' practice habits, and is not in the same tier as Nico Collins; Waldman suggests he is best suited as a WR2 complement and will not significantly elevate C.J. Stroud's production.

Insight page

Matthew Golden

PositiveValue5:52

Matthew Golden is significantly outperforming his draft value, currently ranking as the WR11 on the season according to Bob Harris, who also credits him for making excellent catches in recent games.

Insight page

Pat Freiermuth

PositiveUsage34:47

Matt Waldman highlights Pat Freiermuth as an effective red-zone target for the Steelers, noting his ability to execute quick-hitting, tight-window targets. While the increased usage is currently driven by necessity due to injuries to other receivers, Waldman suggests this should be a permanent feature of the offense.

Insight page

Tucker Kraft

PositiveUsage5:55

Tucker Kraft is gaining fantasy relevance and seeing an increased role as a check-down option, effectively acting as an extension of the Packers' run game; Matt Waldman views this development as a positive for his fantasy utility.

Insight page
