What’s everyone’s thoughts on Le’Veon Bell this year? The talent is obviously there, and the team should be improved from last year. However, I’m hesitant since Gase doesn’t have the best track record with pace of play and running back usage. Any thoughts?
As a starter, Lamar Jackson was on pace for 1271 rushing yards and 9 TD’s. If he were a running back, those numbers would put him at RB 14 in standard. He offers a high floor, and has better weapons around him in the passing game. If he improves as a passer, he has top 10 upside.
From week 10 on, Leonard Fournette was a RB1 in 3 of the last 6 games. His 16 game pace in those games was 1104/15 on the ground. Word from camp says his hands improved and he will be used in passing game (3 targets in wk. 3 of preseason). Will benefit from Foles keeping D honest
Sammy Watkins was on pace for ~202 fantasy points last year through week 8 (WR 23). At that point, he had 54 targets which trailed Tyreek Hill by only 11 (65). Although he was primarily utilized underneath and not downfield, his route tree should grow in his 2nd year as a Chief.
However, he had to deal with the horrendous QBing of Blake Bortles and the Jaguars. The favorite to start across from JuJu, he is a perfect example of betting on opportunity since PIT has 226 vacated targets. #FantasyFootball#Steelers#FantasyFootballDraft
Despite James Washington getting most of the hype due to an explosive preseason, Donte Moncrief should have more opportunities in the regular season to show what he’s capable of. At 6’2” and capable of running a 4.40 40 yard dash, he has both the size and speed to make an impact
While his career stats are relatively underwhelming so far, he has battled some injury issues and is still only 26 years old. Put up a 64/733/6 statline in 2015 for the colts despite Luck only playing 7 games. Following injury prone years in ‘16 and ‘17, he was healthy last year
@FF_Ideation @PauliesSleepers@BenCumminsFF@DynastyFFAddict@ReflipeWThenuz@DynastyFF_KyleM @dynastyhottakes @DynastyNerds I’m actually a fan of Jaron Brown. He might have the opportunity to start the season as a WR2 in the SEA offense due to injuries. He showed that he’s a capable red zone threat last year, and with a higher target share this year he could be fringe WR3 worthy.
He’s entering his third season, and was never a full-time WR until he got to the NFL. He had an off-season heart procedure before last year which limited his snaps. This off-season, reports from camps have been that he has greatly improved his route running and is more polished
If he stays healthy, Curtis Samuel is undervalued. Cam Newton is healthy and should be able to throw downfield. Samuels ADP is at 95, almost three rounds lower than DJ Moore (61). An electric playmaker w/ 4.31 speed, he scored a TD on ~15% of his touches last year.

@All_en4_Fantasy I understand that. That’s the problem with most of the WR’s below WR20 or so. Not many of them are consistent at all. I’m a firm believer in having most of your bench spots as lottery tickets with high ceilings, and I believe Sutton fits that category of things go well
Possible post-hype sleeper, Courtland Sutton is a talented WR on an offense that needs a spark in the passing game. After putting up 42/704/4 (WR #50 in PPR) as a rookie, it’s hard to imagine he doesn’t see an increase considering he has an upgraded QB (Flacco)
Interestingly enough, Flacco was tied for the lead in 20+ yard passing attempts before he was benched according to Rotoworld. The 6’3” receiver could develop into a big weapon for the Broncos, especially if 32 year old Emmanuel Sanders struggles returning from his torn Achilles
While injuries were a concern over his first two seasons, he also shows upside in the receiving game. With a healthy Aaron Rodgers as the defenses focus, Aaron Jones has breakout potential should he stay healthy.
Aaron Jones offers legit RB1 upside at a 3rd/4th round ADP (#39). After the bye-week last season (when he took over the starting role) he was on a 16 game pace of 1216/16 excluding week 15 when he got injured. Matt LaFleur ran the ball heavily last year w/ the Titans.
