Quarterbacks:
– Caleb Williams (ADP: QB17): The author prefers to wait on drafting a quarterback and believes Williams could be a valuable option. Williams has athleticism and a strong supporting cast in Chicago, making him an intriguing rookie with potential.
Running Backs:
– Raheem Mostert (ADP: RB28): Despite concerns that Mostert won’t replicate his impressive 2023 season, the Dolphins’ head coach has confirmed he will remain the lead back. While his touches and touchdowns may decrease, the author argues that Mostert still has the potential to perform well.
– Devin Singletary (ADP: RB32): Singletary has consistently surpassed 1,000 total yards in each of the past three seasons. He is an underutilized player who can catch passes and is proficient in pass protection. With little competition for touches, Singletary could have a breakout season.
Wide Receivers:
– Mike Evans (ADP: WR17): Despite consistently delivering over 1,000 receiving yards every season, Evans is undervalued because he is in his thirties and doesn’t have a top-tier quarterback. However, with his track record and high ADP, Evans is a reliable option as a WR2 who can provide WR1 numbers.
– Amari Cooper (ADP: WR29): Cooper has produced impressive numbers despite inconsistent quarterback play in Cleveland. He is an excellent route-runner and would benefit from having a more reliable quarterback. The author believes Cooper is underrated and has the potential to outperform his ADP.
– Brandin Cooks (ADP: WR56): The author favors older wide receivers and believes they are often undervalued. Cooks had a relatively unimpressive season last year but still managed to score eight touchdowns. With the Cowboys potentially relying heavily on the passing game this season, Cooks could exceed expectations.
Tight Ends:
– Evan Engram (ADP: TE8): Engram had a career-best season in 2023 and is looking to build on that success in Jacksonville. He was highly targeted last year and finished third in PPR points among tight ends. Despite the addition of new wide receivers, Engram’s role as a reliable target underneath and in the red zone should continue to provide valuable production.
In conclusion, the author highlights “My Guys” in each position and provides insights into their potential for the upcoming season. These players may be undervalued but have the ability to outperform their current ADPs. By targeting these players, fantasy managers can gain an edge in their drafts and potentially secure valuable contributors for their teams.
