All about if he returns in time for the regular season.

Nice increase year 1 to year 2 going from 49/526/3 to 71/660/4 but was another guy who was very inconsistent on a week to week basis. I expect more of the same with all the mouths to feed and don't see a huge jump in production coming.

Sanu is a really solid receiver. He went 67/703/5 in 2017 and 66/838/4 last season. He was consistently average and he'll continue to be flex worthy in good matchups.

Calvin Ridley had an awesome rookie season going 64/821/10, including the one game he absolutely torched the Saints for 146 yards and three TDs. The only problem is that he was an extremely volatile option. He ended within the top 20 overall WRs five times and outside the top 45 eight times. Hooper is expected to take another step up in the offense and Sanu will continue to be a thorn in the side for fantasy production. I just don't see how he makes a big jump, especially when he was so productive in the TD department.

Freeman is a solid option at his current ADP but there is some risk, obviously, after he missed all of last season. Koetter has also not really been known for his running game. With that being said, Freeman is also only a year removed from 1180/8 total in 14 games in 2017. He should have a solid weekly floor.

Matty Ice gets 13 of his games in a dome this season, where he has excelled in his career and is the best for fantasy purposes. He also gets a new OC, albeit he has worked with him before, but Ryan tends to struggle in his first season with a new offense before having a huge season his second year. He put up 4924/35 last season, 4095/20 the year before that, would not be surprised if he meets both those totals in the middle this season.

Brees hasn't had a legit TE threat in a while, so it will be interesting to see the role Cook plays in this offense. I don't see him reaching the 896 yards he reached last year as Oakland's de facto WR1, but I can see him at least matching the 6 TDs. I do expect some overall regression despite the QB upgrade since he is no longer the #1 target, he is 32 years old and last season was his career best.

Rudolph ended as a TE1 last season despite being very unspectacular . He had only four games in a full season in which he reached 50 receiving yards. A bit less productivity can also be expected with Irv Smith being drafted.
