And yet, I’m still interested to take a flier.Austin Hooper and his 75 receptions last season are now in Cleveland. Plus, Dak Prescott is good for a few scores on the ground.All of that said, Jason Witten is gone … so maybe he’s in for more playing time?He lost a bunch of games to injuries last year, but when he did play?

Same thing here.The Deebo Samuel injury opens things up for the 2019 third-round pick even after the Niners took Brandon Aiyuk.We know how much the Hawks like to run the ball, and even though Chris Carson is still RB1 there, maybe the veteran who had a solid 2019 gets some playing time.

Obviously, that didn't work out. Let’s have some fun before the NFL season starts.
August 7, 2020 2:37 pm. Even though the Packers run more than they used to, I wonder if the training camp buzz around Lazard could mean he’ll get more looks from Aaron Rodgers.It’s tricky with rookie wideouts who didn’t have a full offseason of work to get acclimated to the NFL.
Hmmmm.Minshew Mania was fun, but let’s not forget: from a fantasy perspective, there were weeks where you could start him. He once dropped an easy foul ball at Shea Stadium and was booed by 35,000 angry Mets fans (and hasn't recovered from it). PPR leaguers, especially take note.A REALLY deep sleeper here, especially when the red zone touches will be distributed to Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup, CeeDee Lamb and Ezekiel Elliott. (…)Some names to keep in mind for later rounds of your draft.
The Falcons acquired the former promising first-round from the Ravens, and he’s oozing with upside in this spot. Now, I’m all in on Hollywood and his new physique in Year 2.Think about it: he put up some really solid numbers (59 catches, 680 yards, six touchdowns) with two really bad quarterbacks throwing him the ball. But he also threw around the same amount of yardage. So who gets the No.
But I’ll throw a cheap bet down on Renfrow after he had a pair of 100-yard games to close out 2019.Melvin Gordon is gone, and while Austin Ekeler will be the focal point out of the backfield, he won’t be on the field all the time. If he lands somewhere in the middle of those numbers with the same passing yards, he’ll be undervalued at his current ADP.Had Larry Fitzgerald called it on a Hall of Fame career, we’d be talking about Kirk as a top-25 WR option even behind DeAndre Hopkins. But I’m willing to make an exception here with the first-rounder given that the Vikes need someone to fill in for what they lost with Stefon Diggs getting dealt.Maybe if Nick Foles is his QB, he’ll have more games like he had against the Lions (nine catches, 140 yards).Maybe Kerryon Johnson isn’t the answer for the Lions, and if so, he’s an intriguing name as a rookie.Doesn’t it feel like forever since the Saints had a second WR behind Michael Thomas?
