Fantasy Football Insights

Isaac Guerendo is correctly valued at his ADP of 254 as the consensus #291 overall player. At a projected workload of 2.1 touches per game (1.9 carries and 0.2 receptions), Guerendo is irrelevant in fantasy. He has some competition on the 49ers' depth chart, where he trails both Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell. San Francisco has the 7th-worst schedule for RBs.

Andrei Iosivas is a fair value at his ADP of 293 as the consensus #280 overall player. Iosivas is the WR4 on the Bengals. As the consensus #102 WR, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. He's projected for 254 yards and 2.0 TDs on 22.9 receptions, for 8.4% of the total for WRs on the Bengals. Cincinnati has the 20th-best schedule for WRs.

Washington might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Dolphins. Ranked #114 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's only relevant in deep leagues. Washington is projected to catch 10.4 receptions for 124 yards and 0.7 TDs, which is 4.3% of the total for WRs on the Dolphins. Miami has the 5th-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Marcus Mariota won't begin the season as Washington' starting QB - that honor belongs to Jayden Daniels. You can safely ignore him in most fantasy dafts. Mariota is projected to earn 6.1 of his 23 fantasy points by rushing. That's a substantial portion of his fantasy value, and could give him a more stable floor than similarly-ranked QBs. With a projection of 1.4 interceptions compared to 1.5 passing touchdowns, Mariota comes with some significant interception risk each week.

As the consensus #135 overall player, Chuba Hubbard is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 151. At a projected workload of 7.6 carries and 1.6 receptions per game, Hubbard won't be reliable in fantasy. He's second among Panthers running backs, behind Jonathon Brooks. Carolina has the 15th-best schedule for running backs.

As the consensus #73, you can do better than drafting Mo Alie-Cox. Alie-Cox is projected to catch only 11.4 receptions for 144 yards and 2.8 touchdowns. Alie-Cox is not Anthony Richardson's first or even second choice at tight end, with Jelani Woods and Kylen Granson on the roster.

Drafting Deebo Samuel Sr. is an easy choice at his ADP of 27 as the consensus #16 overall player. Samuel is the second-best WR on the 49ers, trailing Brandon Aiyuk. Ranked #10 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's an every week starter. Samuel is projected to catch 64.1 receptions for 955 yards and 5.8 TDs, which is 35.2% of the workload for WRs on the 49ers. San Francisco has the 18th-best schedule for wide receivers.

As the consensus #271 overall player, Trey Palmer is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 292. Palmer is the third best WR on the Buccaneers, trailing Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. At #98 in our WR rankings, he's only relevant in deep leagues. He's projected for 487 yards and 2.9 TDs on 38.1 receptions, which is 16.8% of the total for Buccaneers WRs. The Buccaneers have the 12th-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Darius Slayton might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Giants. Ranked #80 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. He's projected to catch 45.8 receptions for 678 yards and 3.7 TDs, which is 18.8% of the total for Giants WRs. The Giants have the 11th-best wide receiver schedule. Slayton is correctly valued at his ADP of 232 as the consensus #215 overall player.

Jake Bobo might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Seahawks. Ranked #163 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not really fantasy-relevant. He is projected to catch 14.7 receptions for 158 yards and 1.0 TDs, which is 6.1% of the workload for WRs on the Seahawks. The Seahawks have the 10th-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Washington is not a focus of the the Falcons' offense as their WR4. At #165 in our WR rankings, he's only relevant in deep leagues. He's projected to catch 0 receptions for 0 yards and 0 TDs, which is 0% of the total for WRs on the Falcons. The Falcons have the 5th-best wide receiver schedule.

Chase Claypool is not a focus of the the Bills' offense as their WR5. At #149 in our WR rankings, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. He is projected to catch 0 receptions for 0 yards and 0 TDs, which is 0% of the workload for WRs on the Bills. The Bills have the 6th-worst wide receiver schedule.

Jalen Tolbert is the third best WR on the Cowboys, trailing CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks. Ranked #111 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not worth a draft pick in most leagues. He's projected to catch 43.2 receptions for 573 yards and 3.5 TDs, which is 16.8% of the total for Cowboys WRs. Dallas has the 3rd-best wide receiver schedule. Tolbert is correctly valued at his ADP of 283 as the consensus #322 overall player.

Jermaine Burton is worth drafting at his ADP of 198 as the consensus #202 overall player. Burton is the third best WR on the Bengals, behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. At #77 in our WR rankings, he won't usually be a fantasy starter. Burton is projected to catch 46.9 receptions for 609 yards and 3.8 TDs, which is 17.2% of the workload for Bengals WRs. The Bengals have the 20th-best wide receiver schedule.

Roman Wilson is correctly valued at his ADP of 183 as the consensus #219 overall player. Wilson is the #2 wide receiver on the Steelers, trailing George Pickens. At #81 in our WR rankings, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. Wilson is projected to catch 40.1 receptions for 532 yards and 2.5 TDs, which is 21.2% of the workload for WRs on the Steelers. The Steelers have the 4th-worst schedule for wide receivers.

Tony Pollard is correctly valued at his ADP of 86 as the consensus #77 overall player. Projected to touch the ball 14.4 times per game (12.2 rushes and 2.1 receptions), Pollard will see the ball enough to be relevant in most leagues. He's ahead of both Tyjae Spears and Dillon Johnson on the depth chart for the Titans. Tennessee has the 4th-best schedule for RBs.

Austin Ekeler is a little overvalued at his ADP of 79, with an ECR of 110. Consider drafting Raheem Mostert (ADP 90, ECR 73) or Tony Pollard (ADP 86, ECR 77) instead. With a projection of 7.9 carries and 3.1 catches per game, Ekeler will often be a fantasy starter, even if he's not an exciting one. He's second among Washington running backs, behind Brian Robinson Jr. Washington has the 11th-worst running back schedule.

Davis is the WR6 on the Chargers. As the consensus #167 WR, he's not really fantasy-relevant. He's projected for 111 yards and 0.8 TDs on 10.8 receptions, for 5.0% of the total for WRs on the Chargers. Los Angeles has the worst schedule for WRs.

David Montgomery is a good value at his ADP of 72 as the consensus #54 overall player. With a projection of 14.4 touches per game (13.0 carries and 1.4 receptions), Montgomery has an uninspiring but still valuable workload. He's trailing Jahmyr Gibbs on the running back chart for Detroit. The Lions have the 19th-best schedule for RBs.

As the QB16, Jayden Daniels is a reasonable starter, but not one worth spending an early draft pick on. Daniels is projected to earn 84.8 of his 287 fantasy points by rushing. That represents a significant rushing floor that makes it a little easier to feel confident starting him week-over-week. Projected for 16.8 interceptions compared to 21.5 passing TDs, Daniels carries more interception risk than is entirely comforatable.
