Biggest Questions for Each NFL Team

Arizona Cardinals

Will Marvin Harrison Jr. live up to his fringe 1st-round ADP in Year 1?

Erickson: Marvin Harrison Jr.‘s combination of college pedigree, draft capital and landing spot has not gone unnoticed by the majority of fantasy drafters and rankers. He’s already going inside the top-10 WRs and top-15 picks overall. It all looks great. But are we placing too high of fantasy expectations, setting up Harrison to fail in 2024? We all assume the Harrison Jr. will just step in on Day 1 and be an alpha target earner, but Trey McBride was a tank at the end of last season. The Cardinals continue to talk up second-year WR Michael Wilson. And their identity on offense will feature a healthy dose of good old-fashioned “run the dang ball.”

When Kyler Murray returned last season, they were minus 7% in pass rate over expectation while also ranking first in several rushing efficiency metrics. The market seems to have zero concerns about Arizona being a run-heavy or slower offense. When Murray returned toward the end of last season, the Cardinals were 23rd in plays per game. Remember, Kilff Kingsbury’s Air Raid has left the desert. Drafters are betting on Harrison being the next great rookie WR with his super-expensive ADP. But does this make sense from a value proposition?

Part of the reason why rookie WRs are such great bets in fantasy is two-fold. They hit, and they are underpriced on draft day. But that’s not the case with MHJ. Get this: Marvin Harrison Jr.‘s rookie ADP is higher than Justin Jefferson‘s Year 2 ADP AFTER his crazy rookie season. He’s not a great value. But because the majority of WRs being drafted in this range are also not great value, his specific ADP isn’t questioned enough. He’s a mystery box rookie that the market is willing to chase the ceiling on despite zero experience because nobody should dare question the great Marvin Harrison after he skipped out on the entire pre-draft process.

But hey, that’s why I am here to ask the tough questions. Because more casual drafters are going to be bewildered when they see Harrison’s rank/ADP come late August, especially when they see how stark it is from Malik Nabers‘ ADP. I can say for certain their ADPs should be much closer.

Atlanta Falcons

Will Bijan Robinson get the workload he needs to become an elite fantasy scorer?

Fitz: There are a lot of burning fantasy questions for the Falcons. Can Kirk Cousins make the passing game go? Will we get the big Kyle Pitts season we’ve been waiting for? Can Drake London take his production to the next level? But Bijan is the headliner. He’s one of the more talented RBs to enter the league in recent years, but Arthur Smith’s usage of Bijan last season was maddening. Smith was defenestrated as the Falcons’ head coach, and Zac Robinson is the new playcaller. There’s hope that Bijan gets a workload befitting his talent, but Robinson has been talking up backup Tyler Allgeier. How much more of this can the Bijan faithful take?

Baltimore Ravens

Can Derrick Henry really continue to stave off Father Time?

Worm: This burning fantasy question for the Ravens could have gone in a number of directions. Is the front office justified in the faith they continue to put into Rashod Bateman? Will Zay Flowers make the second-year leap? How will Lamar Jackson look behind an offensive line with several new starters? Can Mark Andrews be a Tier 1 tight end despite having possibly the best backup tight end in football? But standing above all those questions is one of the greatest running backs of this generation. Fans in Baltimore (and around the NFL) are salivating at the idea of a Derrick HenryLamar Jackson shared backfield. But investing in Henry in fantasy means spending a premium pick on a 30-year-old running back with a lot of carries in the last half-decade.

Players with Henry’s profile can fall off a cliff quickly, but even an 80% version of Prime King Henry would be a massive upgrade over Gus Edwards, who, oh, by the way, managed over 1,000 combined yards and 13 touchdowns last season in this offense. That’s a remarkably high floor, with a preposterously high ceiling, if Derrick Henry can be the exception and not the rule for a 30-year-old running back. He’d be an outlier, but then again, what else would you call him throughout his career if not an outlier?

Buffalo Bills

Who will be the Bills’ best fantasy WR in 2024?

Erickson: Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis are gone. In their place comes veteran Curtis Samuel and second-round rookie pick Keon Coleman. They join second-year TE Dalton Kincaid and WR Khalil Shakir in a new-look offense that figures to also have a strong running game with James Cook leading the charge under OC Joe Brady. Kincaid’s the favorite to be Buffalo’s leading receiver, even as a TE, after an underrated rookie season, specifically when Dawson Knox was out of the lineup. With Knox on the shelf in 2023, Kincaid averaged 7.4 targets, 6.2 catches and 56.2 receiving yards per game. The lack of TDs limited his upside, but that should change with so many red-zone targets vacated with the departures of Diggs/Davis.

Although there are some rumblings that Knox could keep Kincaid away from a full-time role, which would be bizarre for Buffalo given their lack of established pass-catchers. Shakir has Josh Allen‘s trust, but he projects more as a part-time situational player from the slot (which might be limited given the amount of 12 personnel coming from the offense). Samuel knows the Brady offense, so he should be able to hit the ground running. Given Samuel’s versatile skill set and annual stretches of production, we could see him be the most productive WR for the first few weeks. But Coleman is the mystery box upside play. He’s raw and more of a contested catch receiver than a separator.

From the Athletic, he’s pushing for a plus 50% snap share. But he’s working exclusively with the 1st-team in team drills. He is flashing in the high leverage situations, i.e., short area usage and red zone. Josh Allen is putting the ball in a place for Coleman to go and get it. All in all, I think the market is right about Kincaid being the target and catch leader of this team. But with receiving yards and TDs, we could see fluctuations between Samuel and Coleman at different points of the season.

Carolina Panthers

Can Dave Canales save Bryce Young and the Panthers offense?

Erickson: Dave Canales has worked his magic with QBs Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield over the last two seasons. Those QBs entered their respective seasons under Canales with major question marks and concerns, but both delivered well above expectations with Canales’ coaching. We all know the situation for Bryce Young in 2023 was beyond repair. No QB posted more bust games than Young (12) did in 2023. Only Sam Howell took more sacks (65) than Young did. And there were still glimpses of the No. 1 overall pick’s potential. The team trusted him from the get-go, loading him up with dropbacks. His 41 dropbacks per game over his first five in the NFL tied C.J. Stroud for the 6th-most in the league.

Young was PFF’s 11th-highest-graded QB from a clean pocket from Week 12 onward. He ranked 34th through the first 11 weeks of the season. In addition to the HC change, the Panthers improved his outlook tenfold for 2024. They traded for Diontae Johnson to be their new No. 1 WR. They drafted Xavier Legette in the first round. After Legette, the Panthers selected Texas players RB Jonathon Brooks and TE Ja’Tavion Sanders. They doubled down on the OL with FAs Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis. After the Panthers were a desolate fantasy wasteland in 2023, they’ve done everything in their power to at least remain relevant in 2024.

Chicago Bears

Who will be the Bears WR1 in 2024?

Erickson: It’s clear that the Bears view D.J. Moore as their current and future WR1 after they shelled out a four-year, $110 million extension to the wideout, making him the first WR in NFL history to have his first 10 years of guarantees in his deal. But Moore will be facing more target competition this season than ever before between Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. Is Moore truly the alpha No.1 with a brand-new QB? Or is he more than 1A and someone who will have more ups and downs in certain matchups? I lean toward the latter, given Allen’s status as an elite target earner and Odunze’s talent as a top-10 real-life NFL Draft pick.

Moore could be more of a headache if he needs to get by with consistent high-end efficiency from a rookie QB. Allen could be in the most trouble if he ISN’T earning all the volume, because his days as an uber-efficient WR are over. Odunze seems like the easy guy to peg as the No. 3, but because he doesn’t play exclusively in the slot, we could see him take on DK Metcalf‘s role in Shane Waldron’s offense. I’m not saying Odunze will be WR1 come Week 1, but I’d be very open to the idea that this depth chart could be shaken up as the season progresses, with the former Washington Huskie the reason behind the movement.

Cincinnati Bengals

Who will be the Bengals RB1?

Erickson: If Chase Brown is able to clean up his pass protection woes from his rookie season, there’s no amount of Zack Moss HB dives that can stop the second-year man from taking the Bengals RB1 role. He’s already been running with the 1s ahead of Moss at training camp, and he has been praised by QB/HC for his drastic improvement as a pass catcher out of the backfield. This man was a workhorse in his final year at Illinois. He can more than handle the load while adding explosiveness that the plodding Moss can only dream about. However, if the pass pro is still bad, we are looking at a dreaded committee with Brown’s true upside capped, especially if Moss is used more in high-value situations (third down/red zone).

Cleveland Browns

Can Deshaun Watson return to form?

Erickson: Nobody knows whether Watson can recapture his form from his very best days in Houston. But the Texans are in a position without a healthy Nick Chubb to lean more on the passing game to see if Watson can at least salvage the ridiculous contract. They’ve brought in more than enough pass-game weapons and have a top-10 offensive line. If Watson’s shoulder is healthy (another big if), we could see the Browns’ pass offense flourish under the new HC/OC combination of Ken Dorsey and Kevin Stefanski. I mean, if Joe Flacco could unlock this Browns passing game, couldn’t Watson? Worst case scenario, Cleveland throws Jameis Winston into the fold, and then things should get REALLY exciting.

Dallas Cowboys

Will anyone besides CeeDee Lamb step up on offense and demand touches?

Erickson: Demand? Not a chance. But receive? By default, yes. Jake Ferguson and Brandin Cooks look to reprise their roles from last season although it’s very possible the latter takes a slight step back given his older age. Ferguson, on the other hand, could improve after his breakout season. But outside those 3, it’s anybody’s guess who will be the RB1. It’s Ezekiel Elliott until Dallas can find somebody better. Maybe it’s Rico Dowdle, who has looked explosive at camp. But when Zeke and Royce Freeman are your main competition, you better look like you have juice, or we have a bigger issue at hand. As for the other WRs, Jalen Tolbert is poised for a breakout season as the clear-cut No. 3 WR. He’s been the No. 2 while Lamb has held out. Tolbert will have a career year, albeit a low bar to pass, given his 24-280-2 stat line on 39 targets through his first two seasons.

Denver Broncos

Who will emerge as THE RB to draft in Denver?

DBro: The offseason chatter hasn’t been kind to Javonte Williams until recently. Sean Payton has expressed to the media that Williams has slimmed down and flashed burst, which is great to hear. Williams’ tackle-breaking metrics slipped terribly last year, but it’s worth considering that he wasn’t 100% last year. In 2021-2022, Williams led all running backs in missed tackles forced per attempt while ranking 11th in yards after contact per attempt (per PFF). It would be great to see him rebound in 2024, even sniffing the outskirts of that region of efficiency. Williams should be considered the front-runner for early down work, while Jaleel McLaughlin should take the passing down work with the upside to also eat into Williams’ rushing volume. McLaughlin was an efficiency dynamo last season, ranking fifth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 14th in explosive run rate (per Fantasy Points Data). In Payton fashion, we likely won’t get a true bell-cow or workhorse back, but these two players are the favorites to fight for the lead in backfield touches in 2024.

Detroit Lions

Is it time to believe in a Jameson Williams breakout season?

DBro: The hype around Williams has been loud all offseason. He could easily have the most productive season of his career in 2024, but I’m skeptical that a season as a full-time starter will make him a breakout fantasy star. None of his peripheral efficiency metrics point to him being a monster volume-earning stud. Last year, he posted only 1.59 yards per route run with 0.063 first downs per route run and a 19% target per route run rate (per Fantasy Points Data). I do believe that he will likely post career-best numbers this year, but I don’t think that will make him a difference-making selection for fantasy football.

Green Bay Packers

Which Green Bay receiver should fantasy managers be targeting in drafts?

Fitz: Christian Watson is 6-4, has sub-4.4. speed and scored eight TDs over a four-game span as a rookie in 2022, but he’s dealt with nagging hamstring injuries and inconsistency. Jayden Reed scored 10 TDs last year as a rookie but saw a 70% snap share in only two games. Romeo Doubs scored eight TDs last year and seems to be a favorite of QB Jordan Love, but he has yet to reach 700 yards in a season. Dontayvion Wicks has drawn Davante Adams comparisons from Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, but will he get enough playing time to have a fantasy impact? Bo Melton was actually the first Packer to record a 100-yard receiving game last season and might be the fastest player on the team …. but he’s the No. 5 receiver. It’s possible that one or more of these guys could pop in 2024, but it’s also possible they cannibalize each other’s numbers all year and give fantasy managers start/sit agita all season.

Houston Texans

Which of the Texans’ WRs will draw enough targets to return a profit on their current draft cost?

Fitz: Based on FantasyPros consensus ADP data, Nico Collins is being drafted in the third round, Stefon Diggs in the fourth round, Tank Dell in the sixth round. It seems as if C.J. Stroud would have to throw for 5,000 yards and 40 TDs for all of the Houston receivers to return a profit on their draft cost. Collins had a 1,297-yard season last year on 109 targets. He’ll be hard-pressed to repeat his 2023 efficiency even if his target count survives the arrival of Diggs. Over his four seasons in Buffalo, Diggs averaged 111 catches, 1,343 receiving yards and 9.3 touchdowns a season. But over his last 10 games in a Bills uniform, Diggs scored one TD and averaged 42.2 receiving yards per game and 5.3 yards per target. Is he still good enough to earn the sort of heavy target counts he saw in Buffalo? And what should we make of the talented Dell, a pleasant rookie surprise who could be caught in a target squeeze? This might be the messiest and most fascinating WR situation in the league.

Indianapolis Colts

Can Anthony Richardson live up to the hype?

Worm: We all saw the fantasy ceiling that Richardson displayed last season as a rusher. Unfortunately, it ended up being a double-edged sword, knocking A-Rich out after just 4 games. The Colts have already said that they won’t limit Richardson as a rusher because it would be like asking Steph Curry not to shoot 3s. It’s part of what makes Richardson special and will be the reason he flirts with potential QB1 overall status in 2024. Given how great Shane Steichen is as an offensive mastermind, I am willing to take the risk on a player whose closest NFL comparison is Cam Newton.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Is Travis Etienne worth an early-round investment?

Fitz: Through the first eight weeks of the 2023 season, Etienne was averaging 20.5 PPR fantasy points per game and was RB2 in fantasy scoring. Then the Jaguars went on bye in Week 9, and from Week 10 on, Etienne averaged 13.2 PPR points per game. He was RB21 in fantasy points per game over that stretch. Etienne would seem to be in line for a big workload in 2024, but Jags head coach Doug Pederson keeps talking about using young backup Tank Bigsby more. Etienne’s ADP is RB8, and he’s typically being drafted late in the second round. It’s hard to tell whether he’s worth the price.

Kansas City Chiefs

When will Rashee Rice get suspended?

Erickson: The more days that pass by without a suspension, the better it seems for Rashee Rice to be available for most, if not all, of the 2024 NFL season. His court date isn’t until December 9th, 2024. Given how the NFL always lets the “legal processes play out” first, I’d be surprised if Rice misses any games before his court date. There’s always a chance he gets knocked with a penalty afterward, but there’s an appeal process, etc., that the Chiefs can take to push this problem into 2025 as they look to three-peat.

Las Vegas Raiders

Will Zamir White continue his end-of-season production?

Erickson: If you have been on social media at all this summer, I’m sure you stumbled upon pictures or clips of Zeus. The dude is rocked up, manifesting himself as a 2024 workhorse by hitting the gym, lifting, and riding horses in preparation for heavy usage. In White’s four starts last year, he averaged 14.1 fantasy points (right outside the top 12 in half-PPR) and just under 100 rushing yards per game while logging just under 70% of the offensive snaps and 23+ touches per game. It’s a good thing that White is prepping his body because he has never surpassed 170 touches in a season in college or the NFL.

Los Angeles Chargers

How will the running back room shake out in training camp?

DBro: In the early going, Gus Edwards has been held out of practice while J.K. Dobbins and (surprise) Jaret Patterson were working with the first-team offense. Yes, I know you’re probably wondering where Kimani Vidal is in the pecking order. So far, he’s been rotating in with the second-team offense. With the offensive onus being placed upon running the ball this year, this unit will be one to watch in camp to see who emerges. Considering Dobbins’ injury history, namely the Achilles tear, it’s tough to hope for him returning to his pre-injury form.

If the competition comes down to Dobbins and Edwards, I would prefer siding with Dobbins. Edwards is entering his age-29 season after coming off a disappointing 2023 campaign where he ranked 31st in missed tackles forced per attempt and 32nd in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). It was surprising to see Patterson’s name in the mix over Vidal, but if I’m not rolling with Dobbins, I still have faith Vidal can climb the depth chart. With two old-school coaches, Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman, leading the offensive charge, it shouldn’t shock anyone that they are making the rookie Vidal prove it. Vidal proved his ability to shoulder volume in college while ranking 21st in elusive rating in his final season (per PFF). In a vacuum, Vidal remains my favorite, but I’m willing to move off this stance if the reports continue with this type of rotation with first and second-team offenses.

Los Angeles Rams

Is Kyren Williams worth the risk in drafts?

DBro: Yes, I know that the Rams drafted Blake Corum, but I don’t view this as a bad thing for Kyren Williams. Williams had a monstrous workload that would have made it tough for many players to stay healthy last year, especially a back that is 5’9″ and 194 lbs. Williams played at least 72% of the snaps in 10 of his 12 games while averaging 20 touches per game in those contests. Corum should immediately enter the conversation this season with a change of pace role to keep Williams’ touches under control. Williams was on pace for 368 touches last year. Considering that, as the Rams starter, he was the RB2 in fantasy points per game, I think that he is worth the risk at this current RB7 price tag in ADP.

Miami Dolphins

Is there another pass catcher worth drafting in Miami outside of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle?

DBro: The short answer is yes. While I worry about how many snaps per game Odell Beckham Jr. can play weekly at this stage of his career, I’m not worried about Jonnu Smith‘s playing time or upside. Miami needs a third pass catcher to step up in this offense, and Smith can do it. Last year, among 43 qualifying tight ends, he was 17th in receiving yards per game, 11th in yards per route run, and fifth in missed tackles forced per reception (per Fantasy Points Data). In one of the league’s best offenses, Smith could easily be a top-12 tight end in fantasy this year.

Minnesota Vikings

Can Kevin O’Connell’s offense support the fantasy weapons we need?

Erickson: One of the reasons Sean McVay’s coaching tree is one of the best for fantasy football, is it’s always been concentrated around certain players. Ancillary pieces are hardly involved with the superstars operating as the engines, wheels and GAS of the offense. That will undoubtedly be the case in Minnesota, with the Vikings centering their offense around Justin Jefferson. We could see him flirt with 200-plus targets this season, given the putrid state of the Vikings secondary that lacks severe CB depth.

We know that Jordan Addison and T.J. Hockenson won’t be available for the entire season, but they will be plenty involved to be fantasy-relevant when they are on the field. And that brings us to the potential supporter of all these weapons, Sam Darnold. The former New York Jet looks to be in the driver’s seat to be QB1 come Week 1, if not longer, with the team slow-playing J.J. McCarthy. Darnold’s been an NFL bust up to this point, but he’s had his moments when the situations were right for him. And given what we saw from [insert Vikings QB] after Kirk Cousins‘ injury in 2023, fantasy managers should be confident Darnold can support the fantasy options we care about most in 2024.

New England Patriots

Were we a year early for Rhamondre Stevenson SZN?

DBro: Yep, I believe we were a year early as we all clamored for a monster season from Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson started slowly last year, but down the stretch, he looked like the tackle-breaking maven we have come to love in fantasy. In 2021-2022, among 73 qualifying backs, Stevenson ranked 14th in missed tackles forced per attempt, fourth in yards after contact per attempt, and seventh in explosive runs (per PFF). Last year, after Week 8, he was 13th in missed tackles forced per attempt and third in yards after contact per attempt. Everyone is bearish regarding the Patriots’ offense this year, but that won’t dissuade my love for Stevenson. Mondre SZN is here.

New Orleans Saints

Are the Saints on the verge of coaching change?

Erickson: Dennis Allen is not particularly liked in most NFL media circles. He’s got the shortest odds to the be the first coach fired in 2024, and that usually means the team isn’t playing well. The Saints OL is a mess and Kendre Miller can’t “make the club in the tub.” If this team starts out the season slow, we could see things change quickly in the Big Easy. For fantasy purposes, we are hoping new OC Klint Kubiak can have a big impact on improving the offense, and fully take over after Allen gets axed when his defense inevitably fails to stop anybody.

New York Giants

Can Daniel Jones support a Malik Nabers breakout rookie season?

Erickson: Malik Nabers‘ “bust” potential seems pretty obvious with Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, etc. But I think the Giants offense will feature Nabers significantly, given the sheer lack of playmakers they have elsewhere. His explosive skillset as a YAC monster should make drafters less concerned about the potential shoddy QB play from the Giants. And besides, if we get anything close to 2022 Daniel Jones – led the NFL in adjusted completion percentage at 80% – Nabers is going to destroy his ADP. And if Lock takes over at QB? Oh, baby, buckle up. Week 5 vs the Commanders will be fun.

New York Jets

Can Breece Hall be the RB1 in 2024?

Erickson: There was only one RB that totaled more points in PPR than Breece Hall last season. That was Christian McCaffrey. And that was despite the Jets *checks notes” losing Aaron Rodgers and the majority of the offensive line. Hall was also coming off a torn ACL. With “average” injury luck and “competent” QB play, Hall will push CMC as the RB1 overall in 2024.

NFL League Sync

Philadelphia Eagles

Does Kellen Moore fix the offense?

Erickson: Nowhere to go but up. The Eagles’ offense fell apart toward the end of last season, a tragic end for a super-talented team. But Kellen Moore figures to bring in a new, fast-paced offense that should take advantage of some of the Eagles’ best weapons. More slot usage for A.J. Browns and DeVonta Smith should provide more layups for Jalen Hurts to threaten defenses. Adding an elite RB talent in Saqoun Barkley to the fold adds another layer for defenses to be concerned about. So far, through training camp, Hurts has embraced the “95%” new offense. Given how bad things ended with Brian Johnson last year, Moore’s offensive input is exactly what this team needed.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Can George Pickens be a difference-maker in Fantasy in 2024?

DBro: I definitely have my concerns about George Pickens after dealing with two years of pain with Drake London and Kyle Pitts as they suffered through the Arthur Smith experience. After saying that, Pickens still does carry substantial upside this year. Last year, in Weeks 2-5 without Diontae Johnson, Pickens swallowed up a 27.1% target share and a 50.1% air-yard share while producing 3.0 yards per route run as the WR16 in fantasy points per game (per Fantasy Points Data). Passing volume and red zone usage could cap his upside, but as the main cog in the passing offense, he could replicate similar market share numbers in 2024. If Justin Fields or Russel Wilson prove capable of producing league-average passing numbers, Pickens could be a difference-maker.

San Francisco 49ers

Will Brandon Aiyuk end his holdout and be the SF WR1 in 2024?

Erickson: Yes. A team with Super Bowl aspirations doesn’t trade away it’s best receiver. They went through similar contract negotiations with Deebo Samuel before paying him with a long-term contract. Aiyuk will be next.

Seattle Seahawks

Will Jaxon Smith-Njigba have a second-year breakout?

Fitz: Smith-Njigba was the first wide receiver taken in the 2023 NFL Draft, going 20th overall to Seattle. There were lofty expectations for a player who had a 95-catch, 1,606-yard season for Ohio State as a 19-year-old sophomore — while sharing targets with Buckeye teammates Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. But JSN had a disappointing rookie season, finishing with 63 catches for 628 yards and four TDs. He operated close to the line of scrimmage for much of the season and had an average depth of target of just 6.1 yards. The hope among Smith-Njigba stans is that new Seahawks offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb can coax bigger things from the young receiver and that he’ll pass 31-year-old Tyler Lockett in the Seahawks’ pecking order for targets.

2024 fantasy football draft kit

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Is Rachaad White undervalued, overvalued, or appropriately valued?

Fitz: With 1,539 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns, White finished RB4 in PPR fantasy scoring last season. He’s proven to be a fine pass catcher out of the backfield, with 114 receptions in his first two seasons. But as a runner? Meh. White has averaged 3.7 yards per carry and hasn’t fared well in advanced stats such as rushing yards over expected, yards after contact per carry, or explosive run rate. White seems entrenched as the Buccaneers’ lead RB, but will fourth-round rookie Bucky Irving, or anyone else, cut into White’s workload? White seems like a value at his late-third-round ADP, considering his 2023 fantasy finish, but how good would you feel about spending an early-round pick on a running back with some pretty icky rushing metrics?

Tennessee Titans

Which RB should you draft in 2024?

Erickson: The Titans want to run a 50/50 split between Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears. They no longer want to have a “tell” like the Derrick Henry days when defenses knew the run was coming. Pollard is drafted ahead of Spears in every fantasy football draft, given his contract and overall, more proven track record. But Spears earned his way onto the field alongside a healthy Derrick Henry, especially as a receiver. Both guys are cheap enough that I think both are worthy targets. Given the injury to DeAndre Hopkins, we could see more targets for both early on. And although the Titans’ OL has been in shambles in recent years, they’ve made improvements while also adding in OL coach/guru Bill Callahan.

Washington Commanders

Is Jayden Daniels ready to lead the offense?

Erickson: So far, the camp reports have been generally positive about Jayden Daniels, and the team has not been afraid to let him let it loose like he did at LSU. Kilff Kingbury had success at the NFL level with a rookie QB (Kyler Murray) in Arizona, and I see no reason (other than the OL) that would make it so Daniels can’t be productive in Year 1. He’s entering the NFL with so much experience after spending 5 years in the college ranks. He’s got the skill set and experience that the Commanders’ staff valued, similar to how many of their in-house ex-49ers staffers valued Brock Purdy‘s experience when he was in the draft. He can raise the ceiling of this offense and the incumbent playmakers such as Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, and Brian Robinson Jr.
