Authors' startable pick (RB22 ADP); would need to finish RB34+ to bust; been RB2 essentially every year of career; boring, steady, hard to see breaking unless Monangai takes job outright. Community support minimal; no major debate.

I took a look at every top-5 scoring offense over the last 5 years and calculated the average fantasy finish across each position for these offenses: QB: 5.5 RB1: 10.2 WR1: 11.3 WR2. 29.3 TE: 9.4 Here are some notable teams with top-5 scoring upside that likely have severely underpriced players on ESPN 1. Jacksonville Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence: QB12 - Bhayshul Tuten: RB26 - Parker Washington: WR38 - Brian Thomas: WR37 - Brenton Strange: TE20 I like Lawrence, Tuten, and Washington at their ADP...

Ben Johnson ranks Swift as RB21 (composite ADP RB22), positioning him as an early 4th-round pick versus consensus round 5; Johnson believes Swift has league-winning upside at this ADP. Swift's situation is described as 'awesome' with minimal backfield competition—Kalen Monangai is a seventh-round pick who lacks even average athleticism and is not a prolific pass catcher, while Roschon Johnson and Britain Brown are 'absolute scrubs' who won't push for workload. Swift has averaged 34+ receptions across all six seasons, 1250+ yards in three straight years, back-to-back seasons over 1340 yards, career-high touchdowns, and highest yards per carry in his first year with Ben Johnson at age 27. Johnson projects Swift can hit 250 carries, 50 receptions, and double-digit touchdowns, making him viable as RB2 or RB3 even in robust RB builds.

None of this is me saying I hate Jadarian Price by any means When he was going near Tuten, Judkins, Swift it was not a great bet If he’s going by Chuba and Pollard that’s where he’s a definite target for me He’s trending that way so you’ll see me scoop

Kyren Williams, Javonte Williams, and D'Andre Swift easily outscored Breece Hall in fantasy land last season. All three avoided additional backfield competition and are still in offenses we expect to rock. Geno Smith + Frank Reich enough for Breece to leap them this time around?
