Fantasy Football Insights

Johnny Wilson is the WR3 for the Eagles, behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. As the consensus #130 WR, he won't be worth owning in most fantasy leagues. He is projected to catch 6.5 receptions for 76 yards and 0.5 TDs, which is 3.2% of the total for WRs on the Eagles. The Eagles have the 12th-best schedule for wide receivers.

Jake Ferguson is projected to catch a respectable 68.2 receptions for 720 yards and 6.2 touchdowns. As a top-9 TE, Ferguson is a solid choice for your starting tight end. As the consensus #97 overall player, Ferguson is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 93. Dallas has the 17th-best tight end schedule.

Trevor Lawrence isn't a factor in 1QB leagues as our #17 QB. That rank makes him a fantasy starter in 2QB leagues, even if he's not an exciting one.Lawrence is projected to earn 53.9 of his 282 fantasy points by rushing. While running is in his wheelhouse, it isn't a major focus of his gameplan. With a projection of 12.7 interceptions compared to 24.2 passing touchdowns, he doesn't carry much interception risk.

Projected to touch the ball 1.6 times per game (0.4 rushes and 1.2 receptions), Kyle Juszczyk is not worth spending a draft pick on. He's behind both Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell on the running back chart for the 49ers.

Projected to touch the ball 3.4 times per game (2.2 rushes and 1.2 receptions), Ameer Abdullah isn't someone you can really use in fantasy. He's behind both Zamir White and Alexander Mattison on the running back chart for the Raiders.

Projected to carry the ball 0.0 times and catch 0.0 passes per game, Michael Wiley isn't someone you need to draft. He has some competition on Washington's depth chart, where he trails both Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler.

Tyler Boyd might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Titans. At #87 in our WR rankings, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. He is projected for 548 yards and 2.1 TDs on 50.8 receptions, for 24.1% of the workload for Titans WRs. The Titans have the 10th-best wide receiver schedule. Boyd is correctly valued at his ADP of 226 as the consensus #243 overall player.

At QB23, Geno Smith isn't worth owning in 1QB leagues. In 2QB leagues, he's a low-end starter. Smith is projected to earn 30.9 of his 256 fantasy points by rushing. While not insignificant, it isn't really key to his fantasy value. With a projection of 12.1 interceptions compared to 24.4 passing touchdowns, Smith isn't not likely to melt down often.

Jahmyr Gibbs is a fair value at his ADP of 13 as the consensus #14 overall player. With a projection of 11.4 carries and 3.6 catches per game, Gibbs will often be a fantasy starter, even if he's not an exciting one. He leads David Montgomery and Craig Reynolds on the Lions' depth chart. Detroit has the 19th-best running back schedule.

Picking Elijah Moore at his ADP of 243 should be an easy decision, compared to an ECR of 195. Moore is the WR3 for the Browns, trailing Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy. At #75 in our WR rankings, he won't usually be a fantasy starter. He's projected for 547 yards and 2.8 TDs on 44.7 receptions, for 22.7% of the workload for WRs on the Browns. The Browns have the 4th-best wide receiver schedule.

Drafting Derrick Henry is an easy choice at his ADP of 30 as the consensus #18 overall player. Projected to carry the ball 16.1 times and catch 1.6 passes per game, Henry has a strong workload that's hard for running backs to come by. He's the top dog among running backs on the Ravens, with Keaton Mitchell and Justice Hill behind him. The Ravens have the 8th-best schedule for running backs.

Atwell is the WR4 on the Rams. At #113 in our WR rankings, he's probably best left for the waiver wire. He's projected to catch 20.0 receptions for 269 yards and 1.4 TDs, which is 7.6% of the workload for Rams WRs. Los Angeles has the 16th-best wide receiver schedule.

Ranked as QB1, Josh Allen can be a rare difference-maker at the position. Allen is expected to earn 32% of his projected 349 fantasy points by rushing. That level of involvement in the Bills' running game adds significant fantasy value. Projected for a 1.9 touchdown-to-interception ratio, he isn't not likely to melt down often.

Ranked as QB2, Jalen Hurts can be a rare difference-maker at the position. Hurts is expected to earn 36% of his projected 352 fantasy points by rushing. That level of involvement in the Eagles' running game adds significant fantasy value. With a projection of 14.1 interceptions compared to 25.0 passing touchdowns, Hurts is not the safest QB to run out each week.

At QB3, Patrick Mahomes II is a strong starger, but won't come particularly cheap with an ADP in the 3rd round. Mahomes is projected to earn 43.9 of his 329 fantasy points by rushing. While not insignificant, it's not a huge part of his gameplan. Projected for a 2.8 touchdown-to-interception ratio, he doesn't carry much interception risk.

Lamar Jackson is a high-end option as our 4th-ranked QB, but comes at a significant cost at his ADP of 41. Jackson is expected to earn 32% of his projected 325 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 projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 2.1, he doesn't carry much interception risk.

As our consensus #5 QB, C.J. Stroud is a solid starter, but comes at a significant cost at his ADP of 46. Stroud is expected to earn 11% of his projected 297 fantasy points by rushing. While it isn't nothing, it's not a core part of his fantasy value. With a projection of 9.9 interceptions compared to 28.9 passing touchdowns, Stroud doesn't carry much interception risk.

Anthony Richardson is a high-end option as our 6th-ranked QB, but won't come particularly cheap with an ADP in the 5th round. Richardson is expected to earn 33% of his projected 292 fantasy points by rushing. That level of involvement in the Colts' running game adds significant fantasy value. Projected for a 1.7 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Richardson carries more interception risk than is entirely comforatable.

As our consensus #7 QB, Joe Burrow is a solid starter, but comes at a significant cost at his ADP of 57. Burrow is expected to earn 10% of his projected 300 fantasy points by rushing. While running is in his wheelhouse, it's not a huge part of his gameplan. Projected for a 2.5 touchdown-to-interception ratio, he isn't not likely to melt down often.

At QB8, Dak Prescott is a strong starger, but won't come particularly cheap with an ADP in the 5th round. Prescott is expected to earn 12% of his projected 304 fantasy points by rushing. While not insignificant, it isn't a major focus of his gameplan. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 2.2, he doesn't carry much interception risk.
