51. Tetairoa McMillan, WR25, CAR, Bye 14:McMillan is the new top receiving option for quarterback Bryce Young. McMillan is a big dude, as he is 6’5” and 212 pounds. His arm length and great hands help him catch the ball easily. Not only that, but he can play from the outside and in the slot. This makes McMillan a threat for the Panthers’ offense, and if the team can reach its potential, he could be in for a very big year.
52. Omarion Hampton, RB19, LAC, Bye 12:Hampton was selected with the Chargers’ first-round pick, with the plan for Hampton to become the lead running back during the season eventually, with running back Najee Harris beginning the season as the starter. However, if Harris has to sit out even for a little bit during training camp due to a minor eye injury, Hampton could be the starter sooner than expected. Hampton also has the ability to catch the ball. Do not be shocked if he exceeds expectations.
53. Zay Flowers, WR26, BAL, Bye 7:Flowers plays for one of the best offenses in all of football. He will do somewhat good, maybe a little better than last year. The problem is that they are run-heavy with quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry. That may cause a tiny issue, but Flowers is lightning quick, so they are going to find ways to give him the ball.
54. Marvin Harrison Jr., WR27, ARI, Bye 8:Harrison Jr. let many people down last year, considering the early round investments that fantasy players made on him. This year might be different. He is now in year two with quarterback Kyler Murray, increasing the chances of Harrison Jr. getting more targets. Not only that, but he is in second season in the NFL, so he was getting acclimated to the rigors of the league last year. He should know what to expect from NFL defenses now.
55. Aaron Jones Sr., RB20, MIN, Bye 6:Jones Sr. has always performed well when healthy, but has an injury history that could affect him. Additionally, he is now over 30 years old. Even if he plays limited snaps to keep him healthy, Jones Sr. should still be able to provide value at this point in fantasy football drafts. This is despite the presence of backup running back Jordan Mason, who came over from the San Francisco 49ers.
56. Sam LaPorta, TE4, DET, Bye 8:One of the better tight ends in the league, he is worth the draft pick here due to the quality of play that he gives to fantasy teams. When healthy, he is one of the most productive tight ends in the league. If he does not get injured, he could have a career year.
57. Chris Olave, WR28, NO, Bye 11:Olave definitely worries fantasy football owners because of his concussion history. Not only that, but his quarterback situation is one of the worst in the entire league. However, he is one of the best receivers for the Saints, so do not be shocked if he surprises many people, if he stays healthy, but that is a big if. Overall, he has a low floor, but a high ceiling if he can manage to stay on the field for most, if not, the entire season.
58. Baker Mayfield, QB6, TB, Bye 9:Mayfield is ranked as the sixth best quarterback in fantasy football, and that may seem crazy to people. The reasoning behind the ranking_fantasy will explain itself. Mayfield was in one of the most pass-heavy offenses in the NFL as the team’s running game was not performing up to par last season. They were throwing the ball seemingly non-stop, which resulted in more points for Mayfield. If the same circumstances surrounding the run game happen again, Mayfield's stats should be similar to last year.
59. Jerry Jeudy, WR29, CLE, Bye 9:Jeudy did exceptional last year with every quarterback he shared the field with the exception of quarterback Deshaun Watson, but seemingly every offensive weapon had the same problem as Jeudy. When Watson was not playing, the Cleveland Browns’ offense came to life, propelling Jeudy to a career-year. Watson is not expected to play this year due to a torn achilles, which makes Jeudy a very underrated wide receiver to draft at this point in fantasy drafts. Jeudy may become the bargain of the year and win championships.
60. Patrick Mahomes, QB7, KC, Bye 10:Mahomes is one of those quarterbacks that are nearly impossible to beat on the field. However, this has not translated to fantasy the past few years. This upcoming season might be different though, as he has most of his weapons healthy and at his disposal now. This might help his cause in fantasy, becoming the top five quarterback that he was years ago.
61. George Pickens, WR30, DAL, Bye 10:He was the WR1 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but that has changed now because he was traded to the Cowboys, and is now behind new teammate CeeDee Lamb in the pecking order. However, this actually might benefit Pickens, as he will now receive less defensive attention because of Lamb’s presence and has a better quarterback in Dak Prescott than he ever did with the Steelers.
62. Travis Hunter, WR31, JAC, Bye 8:Jaguars beat reporter Jacob Robinson said to expect Hunter to be on the offensive side of the ball more often than not, and if this true, he will have superb upside in an offense led by head coach, Liam Coen. However, if he ends up playing more snaps at cornerback than expected, this makes his floor very low. Just remember that he has a high ceiling, but a basement level floor.
63. D’Andre Swift, RB21, CHI, Bye 5:A Bears’ offense loaded with talented receiving options, opposing defenses may pay less attention to the running game because of the fears that Chicago’s receivers give them. If there is less attention on Swift, and if head coach Ben Johnson can utilize him correctly, he could be in for a huge year that no one sees coming.
64. Jordan Addison, WR32, MIN, Bye 6:The WR2 in the Vikings’ offense, he has proven that he can contribute alongside Justin Jefferson. Addison is a very underrated wide receiver as he finished inside the top 25 at the position. The fact is that despite being the WR2 in this offense, he can still put up a decent amount of points. However, it should be noted that Addison may face a small suspension due to a legal matter, so it may affect his production a little, but stay tuned.
65. T.J. Hockenson, TE5, MIN, Bye 6:Hockenson is now two seasons removed from tearing his ACL, which means he will feel more confident on the field. Hockenson also gets less attention from defenses as there are many other good weapons around him. Because of this, he may be one of those players that will make fantasy teams championship caliber.
66. Jauan Jennings, WR33, SF, Bye 14:Jennings is now expected to take on the 49ers’ WR1 role for now as fellow wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is recovering from a torn knee and his former teammate, Deebo Samuel, went to the Washington Commanders. Jennings stepped up during some of the games, and that should be the case for this season until Aiyuk comes back, so he will do better than anticipated.
67. Joe Mixon, RB22, HOU, Bye 6:Mixon has a history of consistently producing year in and year out. However, there are challenges this year, as the offensive line is absolutely horrible and running back Nick Chubb is now in town, taking away some of Mixon’s snaps. This is a situation to watch out for and see what happens during training camp.
68. Jameson Williams, WR34, DET, Bye 8:Even though Williams is not the top weapon in Detroit, all he needs is one deep ball to go right into his hands and score a touchdown. That will provide big-time points. Overall, the threat that Williams’ provides will help fantasy teams.
69. Khalil Shakir, WR35, BUF, Bye 7:Shakir is the number one receiving option for the Bills as of now. That could change as wide receiver Keon Coleman and/or tight end Dalton Kincaid may overtake that role due to the draft capital the team spent on them. However, this may not happen, and Shakir may possibly end up dominating targets because he has been there the longest and is quarterback Josh Allen’s go-to player. He is very underrated and may possibly have a year that no one is expecting out of him.
70. David Montgomery, RB23, DET, Bye 8:Montgomery has done well enough to stay on the field, but the question is how often will that be? His running mate, Jahmyr Gibbs, has taken over the RB1 role and may even steal more snaps away from Montgomery. If Montgomery gets the same amount of snaps as he did last year, he should be okay, but if his snap count keeps decreasing, Montgomery’s value will almost be non-existent.
71. Justin Fields, QB8, NYJ, Bye 9:Fields will hit the ground running, as this Jets team, coached by Aaron Glenn, is coming into the season with the identity as a run-heavy team. This will help Fields tremendously, as they have probably drawn up plenty of plays for him. Also, he is reunited with his college teammate, wide receiver Garrett Wilson, so that helps him in the passing game, as Fields has a history of struggles when asked to throw the ball. Remember, rushing yards and touchdowns are more important than those same statistics for passing.
72. Bo Nix, QB9, DEN, Bye 12:Nix was one of the ten best quarterbacks in fantasy last year, and as crazy as it sounds, he was a rookie. He will most likely do even better this year because of the growing amount of arsenal surrounding him. He will improve, and drafting him here would be the right choice.
73. RJ Harvey, RB24, DEN, Bye 12:Harvey is facing competition from J.K. Dobbins, but the former has the edge here, considering he can catch passes out of the field, playing the Darren Sproles role for head coach Sean Payton’s offense. Drafting Harvey will give fantasy teams many benefits because of his expected pass-catching role.
74. Evan Engram, TE6, DEN, Bye 12:Engram is in a superb offense and now gets to play with quarterback Bo Nix. Engram may do really well this year because he is at least the third passing option, behind wide receiver Courtland Sutton and maybe running back RJ Harvey. He may have a career best season considering the team he now plays for.
75. TreVeyon Henderson, RB25, NE, Bye 14:Henderson, who is a rookie, did not carry the load at Ohio State last year while sharing the backfield with now-Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins. However, Henderson was the more explosive and better playmaker. That is expected to be true this year in New England, with fellow running back Rhamondre Stevenson struggling these past few years. Overall, there might be a split of touches between the two running backs, but Henderson will make the most out of his opportunities.
