With Teddy Bridgewater starting at quarterback in Denver, Jerry Jeudy benefits greatly as a tremendous separator who’s suffered mightily from inaccurate quarterback play, while contested-catch specialist Courtland Sutton’s stock is hurt by not having a quarterback who’ll take risks down the field as the rate that Drew Lock would have. There isn’t a lot of movement early in my superflex rankings, which makes sense receiver production relies a lot on their skills and less on volume than running backs, so it’s much easier to rank them earlier on in the process. That being said, consider them players you want on your bench rather than starting right away. Damien Williams is in for some receiving work with the Bears, and Justin Jackson will be the one who gives Austin Ekeler a breather with the Chargers. seems to have overtaken the second running back spot over Latavius Murray in New Orleans. Looking later in the draft? Tony Jones Jr. Also, stay away from the Buccaneers and Texans, who want to feature at least three running backs in a fashion that makes none of them intriguing in fantasy football. Rookie running back Michael Carter won’t likely get the workload we were hoping for with the Jets, with Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson being the ones to benefit. Furthermore, Myles Gaskin is hurt by the Dolphins shifting to slightly more of a committee situation, thinning out the running back class once again. ![]() Still, he’s a very interesting running back at the end of third round/start of fourth round for Superflex leagues.Īs Robinson rises, Darrell Henderson falls slightly following the Rams’ acquisition of Sony Michel, who suddenly becomes significantly more interesting than he was as a Patriot. I’d be careful going too far with bumping him up your draft boards he had an unsustainable amount of touches last year and Carlos Hyde will still be a factor in the offense. The major change here is obviously the rise of James Robinson, who is now a top-20 running back following the injury to Travis Etienne. If he continues to push the ball down the field, perhaps he can hold slightly more fantasy value than we’re projecting him to have. I’d also note that Ben Roethlisberger finished last season with a more aggressive average depth of the target, and that carried over into his Week 2 preseason game against the Lions. Currently, I’d take him over Trevor Lawrence, especially since I have major reservations over the coaching staff in Jacksonville when it comes to adequate play-calling.Ĭarson Wentz’s injury makes him a tough sell, while Jameis Winston and Teddy Bridgewater move up slightly after winning their starting quarterback jobs. ![]() ![]() A limited supporting cast that got worse with injuries to receiver DeVante Parker and tight end Mike GesickiĪ healthier Tagovailoa now has Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller V added to his receiving corps, will face one of the weaker schedules of opposing defenses, and could also look to throw the ball more down the field he was quietly efficient (82.3 PFF grade) when throwing 20+ yards down the field.Thrust into the lineup halfway through the year, requiring everyone to have to adjust on the fly to a new offense.Remember everything that was working against him in his rookie season: He’s looked much healthier thus far in the preseason and comes with more upside than you’d imagine. In Superflex leagues, it’s looking like Tua Tagovailoa may be an optimal target as a QB2 at a cheap price. ![]() Ready to move your fantasy football league over to Fantrax?
