Mostert defied the laws of aging running backs last year as the RB4 in fantasy with 21 total touchdowns. He was still a wizard on a per-touch basis, ranking sixth in explosive run rate and 11th in missed tackles forced per attempt. On paper, this looks like a game where Achane could take the lead for the backfield, though. Jacksonville was an exploitable run defense last year, allowing the sixth-highest explosive run rate and the ninth-most rushing touchdowns while sitting with the 14th-highest missed tackle rate. The problem for Mostert is that they were strong against zone rushing, which accounted for 64.6% of his rushing attempts. Against zone Jacksonville, they allowed the fourth-lowest success rate and yards per carry. Mostert could break a big play at any time, but the odds are lower in Week 1.

White enters this year as the Raiders' workhorse back after proving he can carry the mail down the stretch last year. In Weeks 15-18, he averaged 23.3 touches and 114.3 total yards as the RB12 in fantasy points per game. During this cup of coffee as the team's starter, among 41 qualifying backs, he ranked 13th in explosive run rate, sixth in yards after contact per attempt and 17th in success rate. Last year, the Bolts, overall, had a strong run defense, holding backs to the ninth-lowest explosive run rate with the seventh-lowest missed tackles allowed per attempt. Los Angeles was susceptible to zone runs, though, allowing the ninth-highest yards per carry and the 13th-highest success rate. 53.6% of White's runs as the starter last year were on zone plays. White is a volume-based RB2.

No, that's not a typo. Meyers was the WR24 in fantasy points per game last year. Yes, much of that was fueled by the fifth-most touchdowns among wide receivers, but it's not like Meyers is a slouch. He commanded a 19.9% target share with a 25.9% air-yard share while ranking 29th in FD/RR. Meyers is a low-end flex who will run about 71% of his routes against Asante Samuel Jr. (64.7% catch rate and 98.0 passer rating) and Kristian Fulton (72.5% catch rate and 129.3 passer rating).

Brock Bowers enters the NFL as one of the best tight-end prospects of recent memory. Across his three collegiate seasons, he never finished lower than sixth in receiving grade or yards per route run (per PFF). We'll see what his route share is out the gate with Michael Mayer still here. Bowers should compete with Jakobi Meyers for the second spot in the target pecking order this season. Bowers could return TE1 numbers immediately, but I'm a little more skeptical than many others. The matchup is okay but not amazing. Last year, the Bolts ranked 19th in fantasy points per game and 14th in yards per reception allowed to tight ends.
