Drake London (WR – ATL)
The case for Drake London is pretty simple. The only reason he is being undervalued is because of the offensive environment he currently finds himself in. If he played in a more pass-friendly offense, he’d be a Round 2/3 pick in redraft formats. London commanded a 29% target share as a 21-year-old rookie WR. Madness. Ridiculousness. His potential is through the roof if/when Atlanta can figure out their play under center. – Erickson
Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR)
Miles Sanders is Carolina’s lead RB, but his workhorse credentials are dubious. Hubbard is the clear No. 2, and he was admirably efficient last year, averaging 4.9 yards per carry and 10.1 yards per target. He’s a compelling handcuff who might have some stand-alone value. – Pat Fitzmaurice
Rashid Shaheed (WR – NO)
Shaheed flashed at times in 2022 and came on strong at the end of the year in a bad offense. He finished the year with 28 receptions on 34 targets for 488 yards and two touchdowns, but nearly all of that production came over the season’s final six games, when he caught 22 balls for 377 yards and one touchdown. In 2023, he’s penciled in as a starter alongside Chris Olave and Michael Thomas in what should be an improved offense. His early ADP is 185 overall (WR70), so he’s a late-round dart throw with potential and opportunity. – Dbro
Rachaad White (RB – TB)
As a rookie, White was remarkably competent as a pass catcher and pass blocker, and he was able to earn close to a 50/50 workload split with veteran Leonard Fournette by midseason. From Week 10 to Week 17, White was the RB20 in PPR fantasy points per game despite scoring only two touchdowns over that stretch. White is the Buccaneers’ No. 1 RB as of now, and even if the Buccaneers add a veteran free agent, White’s strong work in the passing game will keep him heavily involved. – Pat Fitzmaurice
