Puka Nacua

Draft Priority High6.6

Draft him in the early rounds — he should be the Rams’ main pass catcher and give steady points. But the quarterback’s back issues and another big receiver could limit his big plays, and experts aren’t all in agreement, so there’s some risk. Want 65 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 38% in 65 sources updated about 9 hours ago

High draft priority: Puka Nacua is a high-priority early-1st/early-2nd round target (ADP ~12–16) offering elite target share and per-route efficiency that justify drafting him at the turn or early in Round 2. He projects as the Rams' primary pass-game focal point with a strong PPR floor, but Matthew Stafford’s preseason back concerns and Davante Adams’ presence cap touchdown/explosive upside and warrant slight downside hedging.

08/29 Medium (100%) Mock drafter preferred Malik Nabers or Nico Collins over Nacua due to Matthew Stafford's back concerns — Nacua has elite production but carries QB-dependent risk this preseason.
08/29 Low (100%) Addition of Davante Adams cuts into target share and red-zone opportunities; Matthew Stafford is aging and missed camp with a back issue; Nacua's historical low touchdown totals limit upside. Current ADP (~12) overstates his safe ceiling—avoid drafting him at that price.
08/29 High (100%) Described as a 'no-brainer' pick: averaged ~90 receiving yards per game with a ~75% catch rate last year and remains WR1 with Davante Adams opposite, giving both floor and upside.
08/28 Medium Top-tier talent but draft value hit by uncertainty around QB Matthew Stafford's back injury; if Stafford is healthy Nacua is high-value, but QB injury risk justifies a cautious second-round cost.
08/26 High Listed as a top Round 1/early target — young elite receiver profile and high target volume.
08/26 High Slipped out of the first round in the mock because of QB/Stafford injury concerns, but analysts still value his target share and ceiling — great draft target if he falls (late-1st/early-2nd) but monitor Stafford's health pre-draft.
08/26 Medium Tier 2 elite producer but potential volume hit with Cooper Kupp/Devonte Adams joining and Stafford’s back concerns — draft cautiously, value if slip occurs.
08/26 High (100%) Taken in the early second round in the mock — strong target share and clear WR2/elite PPR profile that makes him a high-value early-2nd-round pick.
08/26 High (100%) Despite a PCL knee injury, Nacua maintained steady usage (79 catches on 106 targets) and a strong 9.3 yards per target. His low TD total (3) last year was variance-based; if red-zone opportunities improve he has breakout upside. Risks include sharing red-zone looks with Davante Adams and relying on aging Matthew Stafford.
08/23 High (100%) Included as a top receiver to target when backs are gone in early first round — reliable pass-catcher with strong role.
08/22 Medium (100%) High ADP (~13.3) but Matthew Stafford’s back remains a concern — downside risk if Stafford’s health forces QB changes; consider slight discount/risk-adjustment versus ADP.
08/22 Must Have (100%) Placed in Tier 1 (Round 1) in the preseason tiers — high reception/target floor makes him a lock in PPR formats.
08/22 High (100%) Ranked No. 5 overall as an early elite WR option per PFF rankings — strong draft target in early rounds.
08/22 Must Have Argued as a first-round-worthy PPR pick due to extreme catch/target volume — '1200 catches' hyperbole but indicates elite PPR floor.
08/22 Must Have Outstanding per-route and per-game production; looks like a top-3 fantasy receiver when healthy. Main downside is Matthew Stafford's injury/availability; backup QB play would likely reduce ceiling but Nacua still offers strong value.
08/22 High Top-tier receiver whose value is tied to Matthew Stafford's availability. Analyst places Puka near the bottom of the top-WR tier but will move him up if Stafford's back is confirmed healthy; draft him but monitor Stafford news.
08/22 Low Early first-round ADP (WR7) but carries several red flags: significant injury history (knees, AC joint, chest/rib), addition of Davante Adams cutting into target share, aging/fragile QB (Matthew Stafford) and a stronger run game (Kyron Williams addition). First-round price vs. risk-to-reward makes him a less-attractive pick compared to similarly priced alternatives.
08/22 Medium (58%) Dropped in rankings due to Matthew Stafford health uncertainty; still elite talent — lower slightly from ADP but target as a high-upside mid-round pick if price falls.
08/22 High (100%) Analyst prefers Nacua over Davante Adams given younger profile and stability as the Rams' No. 1 target; Stafford availability is a risk but Nacua retains high target share and upside.
08/22 Low (100%) Talent is obvious but Matthew Stafford’s injury concerns and the presence of many alternate top WRs make Nacua a rollercoaster pick at current ADP — recommended to avoid at that price.
08/22 High (100%) Very consistent target with a reliable QB and strong finish to 2024 (159.4 fantasy points over final eight weeks); frequent 15+ point games indicate safe WR1/2 floor.
08/22 High (54%) Tier 1 talent but ADP has fallen into the second round — represents a value pick for managers in later first/early second rounds.
08/22 High Strong two-year receiving-yardage track record with limited TDs — touchdowns likely to regress upward; regarded as underpriced relative to yardage profile and a solid mid-round target.
08/22 Must Have Viewed as first‑round talent despite quarterback uncertainty (Stafford injury concerns). High target volume and clear touchdown regression upside make him worth drafting if he falls slightly — good upside for best‑ball and redraft.
08/22 High Profiled as a waiver-to-league-winner and 'best wide receiver in Texas' style breakout when Stafford healthy — strong PPR upside and can be a high-upside mid-first/mid-round pick.
08/22 Must Have (100%) Extremely efficient and primary target in a Sean McVay offense; elite target share and WR1 production expected if Stafford is healthy.
08/19 High (100%) ADP ~15.7 and still strong PPR value; liked by the analyst as a good pick for the cost though monitor Matthew Stafford's back health since QB impacts target volume.
08/19 Medium (100%) Warning flag noted around Matthew Stafford's age/health and goal-line usage for Nacua — still productive but consider modest downgrade in tight scoring areas.
08/19 High (100%) Tier 2 placement among high-upside, high-volume receivers — strong PPR value and WR1 potential makes him a priority in early rounds.
08/19 Low (100%) Excellent receiver but low red-zone usage (only 3 targets inside the 10 last year), added competition (Davante Adams, Kyren Williams), and some injury history reduce his draft appeal at current ADP.
08/16 High Suggested as a solid target in the later first-round/turn area; offers reliable target volume and is a recommended WR choice for early structure.
08/16 High (58%) Included in the elite WR tier for Round 1; high target share and WR1 upside.
08/15 Must Have (100%) Most efficient receiver in 2024 (3.56 YPRR) with massive target share; expected to be a high-end fantasy producer if healthy. Addition of Davante Adams is not viewed as a massive downgrade to his volume, though Matthew Stafford's health poses risk.
08/15 Medium Analysts suggested waiting on moving Puka much due to QB injury news (Stafford) — not an immediate drop but monitor QB situation; slight ADP downgrade warranted if QB uncertainty persists rather than panicking early.
08/15 Medium (100%) Stafford's back injury could force Jimmy Garoppolo to start early; that would reduce Nacua's upside vs. his current top-20 ADP. He could fall and become a value, but at current ADP he's riskier than usual.
08/14 Medium (100%) Boone is a bit concerned because of Matthew Stafford’s back injury — Nacua is elite but QB health puts some short-term risk on his ceiling. Consider drafting cautiously until Stafford proves healthy.
08/13 High (100%) Breakout WR with evidence of high target share and immediate fantasy impact — draft as an early-to-mid round priority in PPR formats.
08/13 High Rookie breakout turned elite target-share player with Matthew Stafford — strong second-half rookie season suggests further upside; good early-round target.
08/13 High (100%) Included in the top 4-10 receiver group the author would draft in the top 17 overall — clear endorsement to take him early in PPR formats.
08/13 Low Now on bust watch due to quarterback health risk (Matthew Stafford back issues), addition of Davante Adams reducing target/explosiveness share, red-zone competition (Kyren Williams/Kyron Williams) and his own prior health concerns — ADP has risen and upside may not match price.
08/13 High (19%) Primary target after Kupp's departure; ADP ~ pick 7 is slightly high per analyst but still a strong early-WR candidate with clear volume opportunity.
08/12 High (100%) WR4 and No. 7 overall—early Round 1-2 turn caliber per Non-PPR Top 300.
08/12 High (100%) Sustained elite per-game production; McVay offenses can support two alphas. Stafford back is a risk but Jimmy G stabilizes the floor.
08/12 High Named as a preferred Round 1/2 alternative to risky early RBs like CMC; elite target share and ceiling make him a better edge pick at similar cost.
08/12 Medium Elite talent but Stafford back concerns add risk; still a strong buy if discounted into Round 2; otherwise move to bottom of elite tier.
08/12 High (74%) In the early-elite cluster the analyst would draft within the top 17 overall.
08/12 Low (100%) Priced as WR5 despite multiple red flags: Matthew Stafford’s back issues are a major concern for a 37-year-old QB, and Davante Adams’ arrival threatens high-value looks (Adams: 25 red-zone targets, 21 deep targets in 2024 vs. Nacua’s 13 RZ, 9 deep). Touchdown upside looks capped; can pay off only if Stafford stays healthy.
08/09 Low Puka Nakua is trending downwards due to concerns over Matthew Stafford's health and team changes. Potential suspension and questions about his role make him a risky pick.
08/09 Must Have (60%) Nacua is positioned as a target hog in the Rams' offense under Sean McVay, known for scheming 'lay-up targets.' His impressive efficiency metrics including a 35% target share and league-leading 45% first-read target rate make him a top WR4 choice.
08/08 High Puka Nacua of the Los Angeles Rams shows potential for a massive receiving season if he stays healthy, thanks to his talent and team offense. He is being drafted lower than his potential suggests, making him a valuable pick in early rounds.
08/08 High Ranked as WR4, Puka Nacua offers substantial value due to expected target volume, making him a strong draft consideration.
08/07 High Nacua's value is highly regarded in dynasty formats where young unproven players and rookies are favored over veterans, offering potential future upside.
08/06 High (44%) Ranked WR4, indicating significant upside and strong value in drafts.
08/06 High (100%) Puka Nacua's skill set in yardage after the catch and his past breakout seasons keep him in the Round 1/Round 2 turn, even if the quarterback situation is uncertain. His ability to produce with different QBs and the potential for a high-volume role support his high draft stock.
08/06 Medium Potential target volume, but dependent on Matthew Stafford's health.
08/05 Medium Decent pick paired with top WR for 0 RB strategy, offered stable mid-round value.
08/05 Must Have Puka Nacua is identified as an elite fantasy stud on the Los Angeles Rams alongside Kyren Williams, indicating a significant role in a potentially high-producing offense bolstered by the addition of Davante Adams.
08/05 High With Cooper Cup out, Puka is expected to play the Cup role, giving him a high opportunity in the offense.
08/05 Must Have (83%) With a breakout season averaging nearly 19 fantasy points in 11 games and the Rams' offense having plenty of targets, Nacua is still seen as the top option in the passing game for veteran QB Matthew Stafford.
08/05 High Considered a PPR monster with high target volume. Excellent reception metrics and strong projection compared to league except for Jamar Chase.
08/01 Ignore (71%) Nacua has not proven to be a reliable touchdown scorer and faces increased competition with Davante Adams joining the Rams.
08/01 Must Have (56%) Nacua was the most efficient WR in the NFL when healthy in 2025, leading in several key metrics. His ability to beat zone and press coverage confirms his elite status.
08/01 High (100%) Puka Nacua's performance, ranking him in the top 10 in fantasy points per game, positions him as a solid draft target for those looking to secure high-scoring wide receivers.
08/01 High In Sean McVay's offense, Nacua is expected to be the alpha WR1 despite the addition of Davante Adams. His role as a primary target is secure.
08/01 High Puka Nacua will benefit from playing opposite Rams offseason addition Davante Adams. Viewed as a real threat to Ja'Marr Chase at the top spot.

Brian Thomas Jr.

Draft Priority Must Have7.6

Yes — grab him in the late first or early second round. He had a huge rookie year and should keep getting lots of passes if his quarterback stays healthy, though new teammates could take some looks. Want 48 more details?

Moderate consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 54% in 48 sources updated about 9 hours ago

Must-have: BTJ projects as a top-tier fantasy wide receiver after a historic rookie season (87-1,282-10) and a de facto WR1 role in Jacksonville; target him at the late first/early second-round range (ADP context ~14–20, CBS ~19.7) as a foundational WR with clear WR1 upside. Upside is elite with a healthy Trevor Lawrence and a coach likely to funnel targets, but elevated ADP and added competition (Travis Hunter, potential increased RB/TE usage) create modest downside risk.

08/29 Must Have (100%) Rookie season: 87 rec, 1,282 yards, 10 TD on 133 targets; finished PPR WR4 despite Trevor Lawrence missing time. Expected to remain Jaguars’ WR1 with a healthy Lawrence and new HC Liam Coen. CBS ADP (~19.7) makes him a value (late Round 2) compared to other platforms where he’s borderline first-round.
08/27 High (100%) Finished as WR4 last season despite erratic QB play; produced more TDs and yards on fewer targets than Nabers and is an elite downfield separator. Shows QB-proof traits and high upside as a big-play WR. Risks include potential regression in targets/TDs due to new HC Liam Coen’s tendency to involve running backs in the passing game and increased target competition (Brenton Strange, RB targets, and a high-draft WR — Travis Hunter — joining the Jaguars).
08/26 High Repeatedly listed as a desirable early pick (Rounds 1–3) — solid upside with targets growing in offense.
08/26 Low Tier 2 but ADP concerns: analyst would rather take him in mid-to-late second rather than late first — avoid at current ADP (pass on if drafted in late 1st).
08/26 High (100%) Mock calls a BTJ edge over Malik Nabers based on QB, offensive system, and health — second-year receiver with significant upside and rising ADP.
08/23 High Panelist (Nick) had BTJ inside the top-10 — progressive offensive usage under Liam Coen, Trevor Lawrence looks sharp, soft division, and a scheme that increases easy targets (screens/play action) raising his PPR floor and upside.
08/23 High (100%) Ranked No.3 WR after a strong rookie season (1,282 yards, 10 TDs) and potential for increased usage under new coaching — big upside though less proven than top two.
08/23 High (100%) Mentioned among early-first-round receiver options and specifically called out as a favored mid/late-first pick pairing option in examples.
08/22 High (100%) Entrenched as Trevor Lawrence’s WR1 late in rookie year; Weeks 10-17 usage mirrored historical jumpers into elite fantasy production, with coaching (Liam Coen) known to funnel to top receiver. Size, athleticism and downfield ability combine with high-end usage to offer true breakout upside.
08/22 High Part of a top-tier receiver class/tier (Malik, Amon-Ra, Puka, Nico, BTJ) — author groups him among that first-round WR tier and is comfortable taking any of them at late-1/early-2 turn (ADP around 14th in context). High upside and similar value to peers in the tier.
08/22 Medium Strong 2024 metrics but faces increased competition for targets (Travis Hunter, Diami Brown) and saw much of prior production come with Mac Jones rather than Trevor Lawrence. New coaching staff and elevated ADP (late first/early second) compress his ceiling relative to cost.
08/22 High (100%) Recommended as an alternative target to risky early-round wideouts — presents upside and better draft value than players flagged as landmines.
08/22 Must Have (78%) Seen as a foundational pick by analysts with potential to finish as WR1 overall in Liam Coen's offense; primary alpha role supports early-first/late-first value.
08/22 High Breakout/sleeper rookie season (1,282 yards) with strong per-game fantasy output; coaching change to Liam Coen could further unlock passing offense upside.
08/22 High (100%) Described as one of the league's best young receivers, Thomas Jr. provides high-end WR upside in a Lawrence-led offense. Expect WR1/2 production potential and draft accordingly in early rounds or as your top WR target.
08/22 High (100%) Strong rookie season (87 rec, 1,282 yards, 10 TDs) and expected to improve in Year 2 under new HC Liam Coen — draft as a high-upside WR1/2 candidate.
08/19 High (100%) Highlighted as a key skill player already on the Jaguars and part of a 'sneaky' offense expected to outperform market expectations.
08/19 High (100%) Tier 2 inclusion indicates immediate fantasy value and target opportunity in New Orleans; draft early as a high-upside receiver.
08/15 High (100%) Impressive rookie season leading rookies in multiple efficiency metrics and finishing strong down the stretch. High Year 2 expectations even with added competition; projects as a high-upside WR2/WR1 candidate.
08/15 High (100%) Shown as a No.14 pick in the example draft haul — viewed as a valuable early-round WR target with upside to be a consistent starter.
08/14 High (100%) Also highlighted as an ascending Jags WR with expected huge target share and volume — strong draft priority in positive matchup environment.
08/14 High As a rookie posted 1,200+ receiving yards and 10+ TDs; precedent shows similar rookies sustained high production as sophomores and he benefits from a healthy Trevor Lawrence.
08/13 High (100%) Huge rookie season (87-1,282-10); size, speed and draft capital make him a legitimate WR1 candidate in Jacksonville's retooled offense.
08/13 High (100%) Listed among the 4-10 receivers the author would take in the top 17 overall; viewed as a high-value PPR target in early rounds.
08/12 High (100%) Coming off a rare rookie season (1,200+ yards, 10+ TD). Precedent from Moss/OBJ/Chase suggests sustained sophomore production; benefits from a full season with Trevor Lawrence.
08/12 Medium (100%) Breakout came as injuries mounted and he showed better with Mac Jones than Trevor Lawrence; Travis Hunter adds target competition. Still has upside under Liam Coen.
08/12 High Highlighted as a Round 1/2 swing WR you should take over CMC in that range; explosive upside worth the opportunity cost.
08/12 High Remains Trevor Lawrence’s go-to target despite Travis Hunter’s arrival; maintain an aggressive draft stance as the Jaguars’ WR1A.
08/12 High In the same elite WR tier discussed for late Round 1/early Round 2 starts; strong anchor WR option.
08/12 High (74%) Included among WRs the analyst would take inside the top 17 overall picks.
08/11 High (100%) Thomas finished fourth in fantasy points due to stepping up during late 2024 as injuries plagued teammates. While there's competition with incoming rookie Travis Hunter, Thomas's role and previous performance make him a strong high-priority target.
08/10 Must Have (100%) Thomas was selected outside the top 40 receivers last year but finished as WR4, proving league-winning value based on ADP. His elevation to a first or second-round pick in 2025 is justified by last year's performance.
08/09 High (100%) Brian Thomas Jr. has high Year 2 upside, with a potential for increased target share due to a lack of depth at receiver and tight end.
08/07 Must Have (100%) Brian Thomas Jr. has the potential to be the top wide receiver in fantasy this season. His impressive performance in 2024 and high upside make him a first or second-round target.
08/06 High Brian Thomas Jr. is highlighted for contributing to fantasy finals, indicating strong performance value.
08/06 Must Have Brian Thomas Jr. is ranked as WR4 overall, with immense upside to be the wide receiver one. At the end of the first round, he's considered a shot worth taking for his potential to lead in touchdowns.
08/06 Medium In 2-WR formats, Gentry is preferred for his potential impact, but Thomas offers appealing upside if able to establish a strong role in a potentially evolving offense.
08/05 Medium (100%) Brian Thomas Jr. is a solid options at WR you can get at ADP 16. Despite competition, his past performance on targets and yards makes him a viable WR2 pick in the 2nd round.
08/05 High Following a historic rookie season, Brian Thomas Jr. could become a top fantasy receiver. New offensive coordinator adds upside.
08/05 Must Have Undervalued last year; great breakout candidate if he remains underappreciated in drafts.
08/05 Must Have Ranked as a top-five WR with demonstrated potential as a fantasy league winner, Thomas is a high-upside pick with Trevor Lawrence.
08/05 High (83%) Available in the second round and can be a No. 1 fantasy wide receiver heading into the new season.
08/05 High (83%) As one of the top WR options in Round 2, grabbing Thomas early could strengthen a WR-heavy strategy, offering good value relative to depth needs in subsequent rounds.
08/05 Must Have (83%) Brian Thomas Jr. delivered one of the best rookie fantasy seasons for a wide receiver in NFL history in 2024. He's a top 12 pick in fantasy drafts due to his high production potential.
08/04 High BTJ is seen as a solid option, considering the wide receiver depth in fantasy. With high potential and secure targets in the offense, he's a reliable choice.
08/01 Medium Scored at least 15 PPR fantasy points in each of the Jaguars’ final six games as a rookie, matching historic consistency levels.
08/01 Medium (46%) In his rookie year, Thomas showed strong potential with 10 TDs. His ceiling is elevated under coach Liam Coen's system and with a healthy Trevor Lawrence, making him a solid pick with upside.
08/01 Medium (56%) Thomas thrived in a tough rookie situation and possesses unique physical traits, with room for growth in consistency.

Breece Hall

Draft Priority Medium5.8

Wait until the middle rounds to pick him. He can have big games because he catches passes and gets short throws, but his past knee injury, fumble worries, and a shared backfield make him a risky choice. Want 48 more details?

Unclear consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 29% in 48 sources updated about 9 hours ago

MEDIUM: Breece Hall is a mid‑round target—ADP sits around RB13/late Round 3, but he is better targeted in Rounds 4–5 as a value play due to pronounced committee and injury risk. He carries clear upside because of receiving ability and Justin Fields' checkdown tendencies, but his ACL history, fumble concerns, and likely three‑back rotation cap the floor and make him a boom‑or‑bust selection.

08/29 Low (100%) Listed by Matthew Berry among his 10 'chicken' players for 2025 — a player Berry often passes on in drafts this year, indicating he views Hall as not worth typical draft investment right now.
08/29 Ignore (100%) Hall's fantasy value heavily reliant on receptions, which should drop with Justin Fields and the Jets' personnel; Braelon Allen appears to be taking goal-line/short-yardage work and outperformed Hall in short-yardage efficiency. Hall's current ADP (third round, RB13) is too high given capped TD/receiving upside and competition for work.
08/29 Low Volume and target share appear constrained (career target share concerns) with competition for touches (e.g., Braelon Allen) and reduced passing-game involvement, limiting his ceiling. Injury history (ACL) and middling rushing efficiency add risk. ADP around the sixth round already prices in some concern — author recommends fading and targeting alternatives.
08/28 High Described as having huge upside and athleticism; questions around offense usage and Justin Fields' passing make him a boom-or-bust pick but worth target as upside RB.
08/28 Medium (100%) Projected to split carries in a 3-RB plan and play behind dual-threat QB Justin Fields, plus a slow-paced Jets offense and tough early schedule; recommended value around Round 5 rather than his ADP in the higher rounds.
08/27 High (100%) Despite consensus stock dip, Hall remains a focal point in the Jets’ offense with significant involvement in the passing game (57 receptions last season). No clear WR2 increases his receiving floor and overall fantasy value.
08/27 Low (100%) Article flags a likely running-back-by-committee under new coach Aaron Glenn: workload split with Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, declining yards-per-carry across seasons, and receptions dipped in 2024. With Justin Fields and a low projected team pass rate, Hall’s passing-game value will likely erode. The piece argues Hall isn’t worth a third-round pick and recommends targeting other RBs instead.
08/26 Low Panel concerned about consistency for Hall (referred to 'Breeze Hall'); not a high-confidence pick — prefer alternatives in similar ADP with steadier roles.
08/26 High (74%) Called a 'potential gift' when available in Round 5 of the 14-team mock — labeled a steal there despite concerns about his current fantasy value, indicating strong upside at that draft slot.
08/23 Medium Called a 'false start' — can produce big games but the offense, QB uncertainty, and rest-of-backfield make him an inconsistent weekly producer. Worth drafting for upside but not a locked, week‑in/week‑out RB1 at ADP.
08/23 High Analysts like Breece Hall in dynasty builds — strong talent/upside and still a dynasty target; however they note he may be riskier in redraft this season, where situation concerns could suppress short-term value.
08/22 High Despite buzz that his ADP may fall, getting Breece Hall in Round 5 is called a steal — not out of fantasy relevance and can still offer strong production and target share.
08/22 High (100%) ADP sliding due to Braelon Allen hype but remains the primary early-down and touchdown threat in a Fields offense with high target potential; recommended to buy the dip (possible great 3rd-round pick).
08/22 Medium (100%) Jets intend to use three running backs and Justin Fields adds additional rushing volume; offense likely slow-paced and low-scoring which caps upside. Recommended landing spot: Round 5.
08/22 Medium Pass-catching appeal but usage and role may be reduced with Braylon Allen's presence and coach comments; recommended with caution — value depends on risk tolerance and PPR format.
08/19 Low (100%) ADP 31.9; author thinks Hall is being drafted too early because of a potential timeshare with Braelon Allen, lowering his immediate draft value.
08/19 Low (100%) Jets using a three-man rotation in preseason (Hall, Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis). Hall played ~61% of snaps with starters and will see share decrease once Davis returns. Hall's ADP is RB14 — too pricey given likely limited volume and tough rotation.
08/19 Medium (100%) Playing just 61% of snaps with the starters in preseason while Braelon Allen is taking third-down reps; Hall remains viable due to receiving skills but should be drafted below current 'bell-cow' ADP expectations.
08/19 Medium (100%) Article raises roster competition with Braelon Allen — suggests Hall's workload may be at risk. Draft as a RB2 with upside but factor in split risk; avoid paying premium until role clarity.
08/17 Medium (100%) Hall is coming off a disappointing 2024 with poor advanced metrics and reduced receiving work, making him a volatile fantasy option. The Jets’ new regime and Justin Fields’ checkdown tendency could boost Hall’s efficiency and receiving opportunities, and if he is the bell-cow (250+ carries) he has league-winning upside. However, uncertainty about commitment to Hall, potential goal-line duty for Braelon Allen, and his FFPC ADP (~34.98) mean he may be overdrafted at current prices.
08/17 Low (100%) Used as an example of a consensus first-round pick who busted relative to ADP because the Jets’ coaching/staff and team environment limited opportunities — downgrade target vs. ADP and be cautious drafting at first-round prices.
08/16 High Despite committee talk, expected to retain primary role and dynasty value; recommended to draft/hold as lead back in dynasty formats while noting committee risk.
08/15 Medium (100%) $24 PPR value — has upside and role in offense; draft as a mid-round pick with upside return if healthy and involved.
08/14 Medium (100%) Has upside to finish as a top fantasy option but team messaging about a committee and Braelon Allen's presence reduces ceiling and increases risk.
08/14 High (100%) Listed in easiest RB SOS (Jets). Hall is the clear higher-drafted option in New York because of receiving work; favorable schedule supports his draft value.
08/13 High (100%) Lead back with strong three-down usage potential when healthy — ranked among top RBs. Injury history adds some risk but upside is high; target in early-to-mid rounds.
08/13 Low ADP in Round 3 is too high — Jets expected to split backfield work (Braylon Allen, Isaiah Davis) and be run-heavy with limited passing scoring; not worth a high pick.
08/13 Low Committee backfield under new Detroit-coaching staff, increased competition from newly highlighted Braelon Allen, and Justin Fields' rushing creates a three-way split of rushing volume. ADP ~RB13 appears optimistic given risks; would require unsustainably high volume/TDs to hit that value.
08/13 Medium Value depends heavily on how the offense uses him and Justin Fields’ play — rushing/TD opportunity questions create moderate risk; not a clear avoid but be cautious at current ADP.
08/12 High Highlighted as a round-1/2 back who can function as your hero RB with elite workload/athleticism.
08/12 Must Have (100%) Projected top-3 fantasy RB with RB14 ADP; Jets likely to be run-heavy with Justin Fields, who also has a league-high 15.5% checkdown rate over the last two seasons; upgraded O-line (PFF No. 9) and strong coach endorsement.
08/12 Must Have (100%) Committee fears with Braelon Allen are overblown; Hall remains the clear lead with elite receiving and 300+ touch upside. ADP dip creates value.
08/11 Medium Hall is clearly the lead back but part of a three-man rotation. This minimizes his upside for being a top-16 fantasy RB, given the shared workload and coaching staff's preference for using multiple backs.
08/11 Low Breece Hall could see a production-inhibiting timeshare due to the presence of Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis, limiting his ability to match his ADP projections.
08/11 Low (71%) Post-injury performance concerns with declining YPC and potential competition for carries in Jets' offense. Six fumbles last season and challenged by Braelon Allen for goal-line carries.
08/11 Low Expected to share carries in a messy backfield; Justin Fields may take rushing TDs away, making Hall's current ADP too high.
08/07 Medium (100%) Breece Hall enters the season with some concerns over slipping advanced metrics and the emergence of Braelon Allen, indicating a potential RB committee. While Hall is capable, these factors suggest a reduced role and potential overvaluation at his current ADP.
08/06 High 76% of team touches recently, showing strong involvement and high volume usage.
08/06 Medium Potential for high volume despite possibly lacking efficiency, with expected improvement in Jets' offense.
08/06 Medium Breece Hall could lose significant touches to Braylon Allen, affecting his overall fantasy output.
08/05 Low The New York Jets struggled significantly to move the ball last season, which could limit Breece Hall's opportunities. Unless the offense shows improvement, Hall's fantasy output might not be reliable.
08/05 Medium Breece Hall has potential upside but showed inconsistency last season with several low-tier finishes.
08/05 Medium Expected to see significant volume in a run-focused offense led by Justin Fields; contract year motivation adds to potential upside although past injury may be a concern.
08/05 Medium (83%) Available in Round 3, Hall offers a chance to secure a No. 1 running back. However, careful consideration should be given against drafting him if more favorable WRs are still available.
08/05 Medium Breece Hall has potential but comes with risks due to team uncertainty and might be a trade candidate, making draft choice uncertain but appealing if risks are managed.
08/05 Medium The Jets' offense has significant concerns, and Hall may share significant workload with Braylon Allen, limiting his value relative to ADP. Suitable as PPR option but risky as a top RB.
08/01 Ignore (46%) Hall is overvalued relative to his current ADP and coming off inefficiencies and injury, with better per-game scoring options available later.
08/01 High Breece Hall is available in the late third or early fourth rounds, offering upside in both running and receiving. The Jets' new OC's history of utilizing running backs effectively elevates Hall's potential.

Trey McBride

Draft Priority High7.3

Draft him in the early rounds — grab him late in the second or at the turn into the third if possible. He caught a ton of passes last year so he’s a steady weekly play, but he hasn’t turned those catches into lots of touchdowns, so expect steady points more than big boom weeks. Want 80 more details?

Moderate consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 50% in 80 sources updated about 9 hours ago

High-priority TE target — draft in Round 2 or at the 3/4 turn (ADP roughly picks 27–36) to secure elite target volume and positional scarcity. His 2024 volume (led TEs in targets/game and finished with 111 catches) gives a strong weekly floor and sizable touchdown-regression upside, though historically low TD conversion and some analysts' concerns about paying early are the primary downside risks.

08/29 Must Have (100%) Listed among the three TE names (Trey McBride, George Kittle, Brock Bowers) the author says you should 'take them and don't worry about the cost' — top-TE tier worth early selection.
08/29 High (100%) Improved each season and posted 111 catches for 1,146 yards in 2024; projects as a top fantasy TE with continued role and favorable matchups as Marvin Harrison Jr. develops.
08/29 High (100%) Named among the top-three tight ends the author prefers; recommended as a higher-priority TE target over LaPorta.
08/29 High Mentioned as one of the tight ends Bowers will be competing with for TE1. Established role and should be among the top fantasy TEs; target as a high-priority TE if Bowers is gone.
08/28 Must Have (19%) Included among the Elite Three TEs to prioritize; recommended to draft one of the top three tight ends rather than the uncertain middle group.
08/28 High (100%) Improving TE who posted 111 catches for 1,146 yards and profiles as a top fantasy tight end; expected to remain a focal point with Marvin Harrison Jr. drawing coverage.
08/27 High (100%) High floor from heavy target/reception volume (fourth in NFL in receptions last season) and likely increase in touchdowns; safe TE2 with TD upside making him a reliable draft pick.
08/27 High (66%) Taken in Round 2 (2.09) in this mock — implies TE is being prioritized early. If ADP presents value, he's a target as an early TE pick.
08/27 High (100%) Named alongside Brock Bowers as a TE to consider in mid-to-late Round 2 — represents the strategy of grabbing a top-tier tight end early for weekly advantage.
08/26 High Top TE target late Round 2/early Round 3 — elite target share and receptions per game; draft early to avoid missing out as ADP climbs.
08/26 Must Have Tier 1 TE and clear top option in Arizona’s passing game — high-volume TE1 potential.
08/26 Medium High-volume receiver for the Cardinals (4th in NFL in receptions, 111) and safe floor for TE production; touchdown regression risk but near-certain target share gives dependable weekly production — good value if TE1s are taken.
08/23 High (100%) Ranked No.3 TE — led all TEs in targets per game (9.2) and has cemented himself as a top-tier fantasy tight end; strong target volume but modest touchdown upside historically.
08/23 Low (100%) Also explicitly ruled out for early premium spending at tight end — avoid early TE spend on McBride.
08/23 High (100%) Listed by Rotoballer as a 'Later-Round Lotto Ticket and Sleeper' — high upside as a late-round tight end target with TE opportunity and breakout profile. Good late-round value with TE positional scarcity.
08/23 High Panel favored keeping McBride over other options in keeper decisions — projected touchdown role and reliable target share make him valuable in drafts/keeper settings.
08/22 High (100%) Appears in the top tiers alongside other top-flight TEs; recommended to target relatively early according to the tiers.
08/22 Medium (100%) Ranked No. 18 overall — notable TE placement that suggests draft value at TE position but not elite overall; use as TE priority if TE scarcity arises.
08/22 High Called a strong third-round value and a top-3 tight end target; good mix of floor and upside in PPR.
08/22 High Analyst endorses taking McBride around the 3/4 turn and treats him as a strong early tight-end target; prefers him over taking a second premium TE early in many cases.
08/22 Must Have (100%) Mentioned as one of the few dependable top-tier TEs — the article argues that if you miss these players you're left hoping for a low-probability breakout, so prioritize McBride in draft plans.
08/22 High Led TEs in targets per game (9.2) in 2024 and is a proven high-volume NFL tight end. Reliable PPR asset who can separate in TE tiers for fantasy advantage.
08/22 Must Have (100%) Listed in the 'even clearer top tight end tier' alongside Brock Bowers. McBride is a top-3 TE target and should be prioritized if you want an elite TE — but remember drafting a top TE early makes it harder to also secure a top QB.
08/22 High (100%) Described as the safest option — heavy target share in Arizona (tied with Bowers for most games with 10+ targets; averaged more targets per game). Low touchdown totals historically suggest upside via positive regression in TDs, but TD variance caps ceiling.
08/22 High (100%) Labelled an elite tight end on an otherwise weak Cardinals offense; provides TE1 upside and positional advantage for drafts.
08/19 Must Have (100%) Consistently drafted in early rounds (ADP 36.2); author would take him in Round 2 — seen as a top-3 TE with starter-level floor and early-round value.
08/19 High Led TEs with 9.2 targets per game and high catch rate; breakout 2024 makes him a TE who can differentiate your roster—target him if top two TEs are gone.
08/19 Medium (100%) Named alongside Brock Bowers with a warning about heavy TE investments potentially backfiring — good upside but don't overpay early.
08/19 Must Have (74%) Also in Tier 1 as a top tight end option — strong draft-day target for securing elite TE production.
08/19 High (100%) Led TEs with 9.2 targets per game in 2024 and is projected to be a differentiator at the position despite modest TD totals — TE to prioritize for target volume.
08/19 High (100%) Also cited as a Round 3 alternative to Brock Bowers' mid-2nd ADP — presents similar or better value with less role uncertainty.
08/19 Must Have (100%) Listed among the three tight ends with true league-winning upside; prioritize for TE slot if available.
08/17 High (100%) Finished as overall TE2 in 2024 and led all TEs in target share (29.3%). Averaged 15.6 PPR points/game and finished strong down the stretch (11.7 targets/game last 7 weeks). Clear top pass-catcher role in Arizona with high upside.
08/17 Medium (100%) Ranked No. 3 TE: led all TEs with 9.2 targets per game and a 76% catch rate, showing strong volume. Limited career touchdown production (7 in 49 games) caps ceiling as a top-tier TE.
08/17 High (100%) Led TEs with 9.2 targets per game in 2024 and cemented himself as a top fantasy TE despite modest touchdown totals; target leader status gives weekly consistency and TE-edge value.
08/16 High Called out as a worthwhile third-round tight end target (Trey McBride in R3); can be taken when RB/WR tiers are thinning to lock the TE position.
08/16 High (100%) Led TEs in targets per game (9.2) and posted a high catch rate (76%); reliable volume makes him a strong fantasy TE even if touchdown upside is limited.
08/16 High (100%) Ranked among the top TEs (listed ~12 in the overall ranks) — solid target volume and strong value in TEP formats; worth drafting relatively early among TEs.
08/16 High (58%) Targeted in Round 3 as exceptional value — heavy target share since becoming starter and strong fantasy production despite TD luck.
08/15 Medium (100%) Strong reception volume (111 catches) but low TDs due to bad luck; ranked as a high-target TE with room for touchdown regression; draft as a mid-tier TE option.
08/15 High (100%) Recommended as a big swing play at TE; paid $28 in the mock due to elite target share and catch rate with expected TD regression to raise fantasy upside — TE scarcity justifies paying up.
08/15 High Provides the best relative position value at tight end beyond the top two; good mid-round TE target with safe volume upside and redraft value.
08/15 Low Analysts are skeptical — Trey McBride seen as lower upside than some peers and has a history of low TDs (college and pro), with concerns about Cardinals’ offensive priorities; avoid paying premium; target as late/bench flier only.
08/14 Must Have (100%) Listed with Bowers as a primary draft target — extremely safe option at TE with top-3 upside.
08/14 Low (100%) Too expensive (ADP ~27.2) compared with elite options (Brock Bowers, George Kittle) and mid-tier TEs later; not worth using an early second-/late-second round pick on him.
08/14 High (100%) Author specifically recommends drafting McBride in Round 2 due to favorable TE SOS (Cardinals) and strong positional upside — considered a top mid-round TE target.
08/14 High Valued in Titan Premium (1.5 PPR TE scoring) for volume; seen as a difference-maker who can out-produce WRs in this format.
08/14 High Breakout in 2024 with 111 catches and 1,146 yards; ranked fourth in receptions and had heavy red-zone usage (21 targets) — touchdown regression is the chief downside but upside remains high.
08/14 High Used as an early-round example with strong target volume (noted as having more targets per game than top WRs). Profiles as an elite-ish TE with receiver-like usage.
08/13 High (100%) Listed as one of the top tight ends (Week 8 bye). McBride is a high-upside TE to target, though his draft priority sits just under the very top names; account for the Week 8 bye when rostering TEs.
08/13 Must Have (100%) Tier 1 TE: Averaged 15.4 fantasy points per game since becoming a starter; high ceiling if touchdown volume increases. Draft as a top priority at TE.
08/13 High (19%) Scheme fits McBride and analyst prefers him over Brock Bowers if taking a TE early; ADP around pick 27 which is a significant early-TE commitment.
08/12 High (100%) Last year’s TE2 in PPG with top-tier target share and yards per game; only two TDs suggests room for positive TD regression in 2025.
08/12 High (100%) Preferred over Bowers at cost; tied for most end-zone targets at TE and primed for positive TD regression on top of strong volume.
08/12 High (100%) Projection notes point to more TDs in 2025; ascending TE who may be undervalued versus expected output.
08/12 High (74%) Elite-upside TE who is a value if available near his ADP; recommended toward the end of Round 2 and often goes in early Round 3.
08/11 Must Have (100%) Trey McBride is ranked among the top-tier tight ends, suggesting a strong return on investment as one of the best options available at this position.
08/09 Medium Great value as a top-three tight end option in full PPR leagues, providing flexibility in drafts.
08/09 High (100%) McBride ranks as the clear-cut No. 2 based on ADP and FFT, but his low TD rate (only 6 TDs in 221 career receptions) could affect his overall fantasy value. His team has other preferred red-zone targets that may limit his upside.
08/07 High With elite volume and potential for touchdown regression, McBride is positioned to become a top TE, producing similar to past elite TEs.
08/07 High Ranked second at tight end, McBride is anticipated to be a key target in Arizona's offense and capitalize on his previous performances.
08/07 Medium (71%) McBride has high volume potential but is limited by lack of touchdowns, possibly linked to QB Kyler Murray's play style. Consider for potential positive regression despite limitations.
08/06 High Excellent reception volume last year, and with similar offensive personnel returning, he should improve on his low touchdown numbers.
08/06 High Trey McBride has massive touchdown equity and could be a league-defining player if his usage continues to align with his top three efficiency metrics from last year. He has the potential to outperform his ADP significantly.
08/06 High McBride scored only 2 touchdowns on 147 targets in 2024. With high red zone target share and little target competition, his touchdown numbers are bound to improve in 2025, positioning him as a potential top TE option.
08/06 High (100%) McBride achieved career highs in key receiving categories but has low touchdown production. His draft value lies in being almost equivalent to Bowers, offering more value being picked almost a round later.
08/06 Must Have Trey McBride is the clear top pass-catcher in the Arizona offense after seeing 147 targets last year. He finished as the overall TE2 and had games with at least 10 PPR fantasy points across 13 different weeks. With potential positive touchdown regression, he could finish as the top fantasy tight end in 2025.
08/05 High (100%) Trey McBride has a strong target share with ADP of 31 and potential positive touchdown regression, making him a valuable TE pick if available.
08/05 High McBride shows the potential to separate at the TE position with volume and can hit 100-yard games, which is rare.
08/05 High (66%) Trey McBride is projected to exceed yardage expectations after becoming a full-time player. However, emerging competition might impact his target share.
08/05 Low (100%) McBride's high ADP as TE2 makes him a risky choice; better value could be found by waiting for other tight ends like Kittle, Engram, or Njoku.
08/05 Medium (83%) Draft Trey McBride in Round 2/3 if looking for tight end depth, as he may not be available later.
08/05 Medium (83%) Must be drafted early if you want him as your tight end; otherwise, out of reach by round 3.
08/05 High (83%) McBride is another top TE, needing a second-round selection to ensure securing him before he's off the board.
08/05 High (83%) Fabiano recommends targeting Trey McBride in Round 2 due to his likely unavailability in Round 3, indicating strong perceived value and scarcity.
08/05 Medium (83%) Drafting McBride in the second round is necessary to secure him as he is likely to be off the board by the third round.
08/05 High Trey McBride had 147 targets last season, which could translate into a league-leading touchdown year among tight ends if positive regression occurs. Considered a reliable catch option with potential for a high target share.
08/04 Must Have (100%) McBride has a very safe floor and top-end ceiling, potentially becoming the runaway TE1 if his touchdown numbers improve. His high target and red-zone share make him a top target.
08/01 High Trey McBride's selection in the fourth round suggests a high value as one of the top TEs. His role in the offense is expected to increase, providing a solid draft target.
08/01 High Trey McBride posted a nearly identical season to Bowers last year but scored just three touchdowns, muting his elite fantasy ceiling.
08/01 High (60%) Despite hauling in the fourth-most catches in the entire league with 111, McBride notched just two receiving touchdowns and is poised to regress to the mean in the TD department.

Aaron Rodgers

Draft Priority Medium6.7

Draft him in the late rounds as a cheap backup or if your league lets you start two quarterbacks, since he could bounce back if he’s healthy. Don’t pick him as your main starter because of his age, the recent Achilles injury, and a weaker group of receivers. Want 10 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 40% in 10 sources updated 1 day ago

Medium — Rodgers is a viable late-round target as a cheap QB2/backup or superflex depth, being drafted near ADP ~QB28 / pick ~146 and offering bounce-back upside if healthy. Target him in late rounds (circa R12–R15, ADP ~146) for best-ball or 2QB/superflex leverage; avoid as a weekly 1QB starter due to age, recent Achilles injury and a downgraded receiving situation that cap his floor.

08/28 Medium (100%) A historically elite QB currently being drafted near QB28; poor 2024 return from injury lowers expectations, but offers cheap upside as a likely full-season starter — a good late-round QB backup with bounce-back potential.
08/26 Low Suggested as a late-round QB3 option — useful for bye-week/injury depth but not a priority early. Take as a low-cost bench piece if available late.
08/22 Low (100%) Could be a sneaky best-ball stack with DK Metcalf but redraft leaguers are warned off — not a recommended redraft target given instability and role shift.
08/14 Low (100%) Included in the Two-QB tier — recommended for two-QB formats per the article, so deprioritize in 1QB leagues unless you want a late veteran bench piece.
08/13 Low (100%) Aging veteran with uncertain role/production; treat as a low-priority bench stash rather than a draft target.
08/12 Medium (100%) Priced as a QB3 despite a QB17 finish; enough weapons to return top-20 value in 2QB/superflex formats.
08/11 Ignore (100%) Rodgers was QB19 on a per-game basis in 2024 despite having strong receivers like Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams. The move to the Steelers provides a downgraded receiving corps, and there's no compelling reason to draft him in standard single-QB leagues.
08/05 Medium Entering what could be his final season, Aaron Rodgers offers solid value in superflex or best ball leagues. Drafting is around pick 146, which is a reasonable investment for his potential utility.
08/01 Ignore The marriage with the Steelers seems born out of necessity, and Rodgers no longer displays the efficiency or physical ability of his prime years. The move lacks fantasy upside.
08/01 Low Rodgers is another year removed from an Achilles injury and could be a waiver wire lottery ticket with potential for fantasy magic, but he's not a weekly QB1 anymore.

Chuba Hubbard

Draft Priority Medium6.0

Draft him in the middle rounds. He should get plenty of carries in Carolina so he’s a solid third running back or spot starter, but he doesn’t catch many passes and could lose work to other backs, so don’t pay more than a mid-round price. Want 30 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 31% in 30 sources updated about 9 hours ago

Medium-priority mid-round target: Hubbard offers clear value when drafted in the mid rounds (roughly picks 44/rounds 4-7 ADP range) because of proven 2024 volume, efficiency in Carolina's scheme, and upside if he retains early-down/goal-line work. However, his passing-down limitations and added competition from Rico Dowdle and Trevor Etienne create a meaningful floor risk, so he should be rostered for upside rather than as a safe RB2. Draft him as a value RB3/flex target but avoid overpaying above his mid-round ADP due to role uncertainty.

08/29 Medium (100%) Solid 2024 production and target share but dependence on volume (high percentage of goal-line carries) and incoming competition (Rico Dowdle addition and Trevor Etienne draftee). ADP puts him in a murky value range versus WRs/other RBs with more upside.
08/29 High (50%) Coming off nearly 1,200 rushing yards and 10 TDs, with 4.8 YPC and excellent advanced metrics (4th-best yards over expectation). Minimal competition for early-down/goal-line work; priced below last year's finish and offers strong value at his ADP.
08/27 High Author drafted Hubbard as a value in the 7th round; viewed as solid RB3/flex with trade value — a good mid-round target if he slips to that range and a useful roster piece for teams needing RB depth.
08/26 Medium (100%) Projected Panthers starter but workload will be reduced after the team added Rico Dowdle and drafted Trevor Etienne. Came off a career year but competition and an offseason calf injury make sustaining 2024 volume unlikely; RB18 ADP in half-PPR is too steep.
08/23 High (100%) Named as a mid-round RB value candidate (Rounds 5-7) to target for reliable depth and upside relative to ADP.
08/22 High In the mock draft at 4:08 the analyst called Chuba Hubbard a “no brainer” and “probably the best value at that point,” saying they were ready to take him. That signals he’s a strong middle-round value pick when he falls to that spot — targetable for upside and value relative to surrounding picks.
08/19 Low (100%) Dowdle matching Hubbard in routes and taking passing-down snaps threatens Hubbard’s PPR production — downgrade Hubbard’s draft value compared to last year.
08/19 Medium (100%) Part of Carolina’s planned 1-2 rushing tandem and received a commitment via a four-year extension, indicating the team values him. Has good yards-after-contact metrics but shares workload, limiting ceiling.
08/19 Low (100%) Lost third-down passing work to Rico Dowdle which reduces his ceiling compared to last season when he had a heavy workload; downgrade him in drafts unless price is cheap.
08/19 High (100%) Bookmakers have his rushing O/U at 950 yards, but Gridiron Experts projects 1,084 yards for 2025 — signaling undervaluation by sportsbooks. The Panthers are expected to improve, which increases Hubbard’s volume and upside, making him a potentially strong value pick in preseason drafts.
08/16 Medium Serviceable mid-round option if you miss higher-upside RBs; the author ranks him below James Conner but he has a clear workhorse role in some scenarios.
08/16 Medium (100%) Listed as one of the recommended alternatives to target if top RBs are gone: 'queue up Kamara, Hubbard, and Pollard.' Hubbard showed good workload and some efficiency (19.5 touches/game, 4.8 YPC) making him a reasonable mid-round target but with risk.
08/15 High (100%) Identified as a discount workhorse ($21) on a team coming off a below-average campaign — good value pick to secure volume at RB.
08/14 Medium (100%) Played as a touch-count dominator last year (top-15 in rushes+receptions) but has ceded some third-down snaps in preseason to Rico Dowdle — volume risk despite proven workload capability.
08/13 Medium (100%) Broke out in 2024 and earned a contract, but Panthers added Rico Dowdle (vulture candidate) and first-round WR Tetairoa McMillan — plus the team may pass more, reducing reliance on Hubbard. Can't be counted on to replicate 2024 workload and production.
08/13 Medium In improved Panthers offense with touchdown opportunities and clearer role, presents solid mid-round value; not flashy but reliable spot-start/bench upside.
08/13 Low Averaged just .51 yards per route run last year and saw fewer routes/snaps than Rico Dowdle in preseason; team may seek replacement on passing downs, lowering Hubbard’s fantasy appeal.
08/13 High (19%) Thrived in this Panthers inside-zone scheme with an improved offensive line; ADP ~ pick 44 is acceptable to the analyst, though Rico Dowdle could siphon snaps.
08/11 Medium (7%) After a strong season, Hubbard is poised to lead Carolina's backfield again, but his struggles in the passing game and potential game script concerns due to team performance pose risks.
08/09 Low (100%) After finishing the 2024 season as RB15 in half-PPR formats, Hubbard's value was driven by sheer volume due to weak competition. With new additions like rookie Trevor Etienne and Rico Dowdle, Hubbard faces more competition this year, making him a regression candidate.
08/08 Must Have Chuba Hubbard emerged as an efficient back in 2024, finishing as RB14, with continued volume in an improved Panthers offense. He's expected to surpass his midrange RB2 ADP and offers RB1 upside at a discount.
08/07 Low Chuba Hubbard's production last season was largely due to circumstance, with Miles Sanders' absence boosting his role. With new competition in the backfield, Hubbard's role is expected to diminish. Carolina's draft and free agency moves suggest doubt in Hubbard as a long-term lead back.
08/07 Ignore Despite impressive 2024 rushing stats, Hubbard's lack of explosiveness in the passing game and Carolina's backfield changes make him less appealing. Dowdle's presence makes him a strong fade.
08/07 Medium (49%) Hubbard lacks the pass-catching floor of other backs and may be in a bottom-10 offense. The signing of Rico Dowdle provides backfield competition.
08/06 Low Offers consistent flex value but with limited upside; mainly a stable option depending on Carolina's 2025 start.
08/05 High (100%) Hubbard will likely be the Panthers' workhorse in 2025 with his ability to be a dual-threat. His performance in 2024 shows he can be a weekly top-10 back, and he should see significant volume in an improved offense.
08/05 Ignore (100%) Hubbard's rushing efficiency relies heavily on low-value touches, combined with the addition of Rico Dowdle and Trevor Etienne to the backfield, which might limit his opportunity significantly.
08/05 Medium (100%) Hubbard is seen as a reliable RB2 or flex due to his solid performance last season and the potential for a high-scoring Panthers offense.
08/05 Medium (83%) Consider Chuba Hubbard in Round 4 as a viable option, fitting a balanced draft strategy with solid upside.
08/05 High (83%) If needing an RB in Round 5, Hubbard remains a viable option still on the board.

Brian Robinson Jr.

Draft Priority Medium6.5

Draft him in the late rounds as a bench insurance pick — he only matters if Christian McCaffrey misses time. He might get short-yard and goal-line chances, but won’t do much most weeks. Want 35 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 37% in 35 sources updated about 9 hours ago

Medium — target in Rounds 9–12 (ADP ~73–78) as a late-round handcuff/bench lottery rather than a primary roster spot. Recent trade to San Francisco and a role behind Christian McCaffrey limit his standalone ceiling, but short-yardage/goal-line usage and handcuff upside provide late-draft upside if injuries or volume shifts occur; downside is a low weekly floor without a lead role.

08/29 Low (100%) Solid NFL role but fantasy-replaceable behind Christian McCaffrey in two-back system; limited high-value touches and low upside make him a poor ninth-round target.
08/28 Low (100%) ADP fell after trade to 49ers; moved from starter to reserve role behind Christian McCaffrey — only valuable as a bench lottery ticket/stash with upside if McCaffrey injured; target around Round 10.
08/26 Low (100%) Named by Shanahan as the 49ers' No.2 behind Christian McCaffrey and profiles as a JAG (limited explosiveness); useful as a depth/handcuff late in drafts but limited ceiling.
08/26 Low Traded to San Francisco but the author did not increase his value—if Christian McCaffrey is healthy he remains the lead back; B-Rob is more of handcuff/insurance than a draft priority.
08/26 Medium (100%) Called out as a preferred handcuff/insurance after his arrival in San Francisco; useful late/bench pick as insurance for lead RBs or as a handcuff strategy.
08/26 Medium Author drafted him in Round 10 as a handcuff to McCaffrey and recommends handcuffing your lead RB — suggests locking up the backfield with a late-round backup. (Note: the article’s team reference appears inconsistent.)
08/26 Ignore (100%) Acquired as depth behind Christian McCaffrey; with CMC healthy Robinson projects to vulture short-yardage snaps and occasional TDs but carries little fantasy value. ADP (8th–9th round) is too rich.
08/23 Medium (100%) Traded to the 49ers to provide depth behind McCaffrey and is expected to challenge for and likely win the No. 2 job — the primary handcuff to McCaffrey. Worth drafting as a stash/handcuff with upside if McCaffrey misses time. Earliest recommended draft round is Round 10.
08/23 Low News: traded to San Francisco; now behind Christian McCaffrey — limited fantasy ceiling in redraft unless he becomes the top backup and McCaffrey misses time. Draft only as a deep handcuff.
08/23 Low (100%) Listed as 'Traded to 49ers' in the preseason feed — roster change creates uncertainty about role and volume; avoid drafting aggressively until clearer role is defined.
08/22 Medium (100%) Traded to the San Francisco 49ers for a sixth‑round pick — creates a new role in an already-loaded 49ers backfield. Likely a depth/handcuff piece with some short‑yardage/goal‑line upside but limited standalone workload in 2025. Adds value late in drafts as insurance but not a primary RB3 in standard formats.
08/22 Medium (100%) Traded to San Francisco to serve as a valuable backup/change-of-pace behind Christian McCaffrey — good late-round insurance if you draft CMC or want a handcuff with change-of-pace upside.
08/22 Low (100%) Traded to the 49ers to become Christian McCaffrey's backup; his fantasy value drops to handcuff/insurance only rather than a standalone option unless McCaffrey misses time.
08/22 High (100%) Signed/traded to the 49ers as a true power backup behind Christian McCaffrey (CMC). Unlikely to see volume while CMC is healthy, but history suggests CMC will miss time—Robinson has big upside in a 49ers ground attack and is an inexpensive handcuff with potential for huge fantasy weeks if given starter snaps.
08/22 Medium (100%) Projected as a complementary bruiser to McCaffrey and a worthy RB3/RB4 target. Could be on field alongside CMC and becomes a guaranteed weekly RB1 if CMC is injured.
08/22 Low (100%) Analyst states Robinson's floor is 'strikingly low' and he'd probably not draft him at this moment due to unclear role/landing spot and low floor.
08/19 Low (100%) The piece raises the possibility Croskey-Merritt could unseat Robinson Jr., indicating competition and greater risk to Robinson’s role. That lowers his preseason draft value — avoid drafting him early and discount his ADP until role clarity.
08/19 Medium (100%) Established Commanders starter whose preseason draft stock is sliding after rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt generated buzz in camp and prompted trade conversations. QB/teammate uncertainty also clouds his volume upside. Draft as a mid/late RB2 target (or wait), not a high-priority early pick.
08/19 Medium (100%) ADP 73.5; expected to be traded out of Washington which could lower his value unless he lands in a starting-capable situation (e.g., Dallas or Houston). Draft cautiously and re-evaluate after any trade.
08/19 Low (100%) Held out of preseason game and is reportedly being shopped as Washington leans toward rookie Croskey-Merritt. 2024 volume/production was modest (187 carries, 799 yards, 4 TDs) and his role may shrink or he may be traded, making him a risky early pick.
08/19 Low (100%) Article states Robinson Jr.'s stock is falling amid trade rumors, leaving his fantasy outlook clouded. Uncertainty around a potential trade and landing spot makes his volume and role unpredictable, reducing draft value vs. his previous ADP.
08/19 Low (100%) Three seasons of mediocre production (~4.1 YPC, low receiving work), approaching end of contract, team appears intent to trade or move on. Likely to lose RB1 role to younger, more explosive backs; other teams unlikely to give meaningful draft capital for him.
08/19 Low (100%) RotoBaller notes the Commanders are 'shopping' Brian Robinson Jr., creating uncertainty about his role and likely causing volatile ADP — avoid early-round investment.
08/16 High (100%) Model identifies Robinson as a 2025 sleeper: career highs in rushing attempts/yards/TDs and a clear lead back with ~100 more carries than any teammate. Washington’s offense is expected to improve (Jayden Daniels, added Deebo Samuel), and Robinson projects as the primary short-yardage/goal-line runner.
08/15 High (100%) Model labels Robinson a top sleeper: he posted career highs in rushing attempts/yards/TDs and should remain a focal, high-volume red-zone option in an improving Commanders offense, giving solid TD upside for fantasy drafts despite limited receiving work.
08/14 High Projected RB1 in Washington with expanded offense under Jayden Daniels. ADP around RB29 makes him undervalued given added offensive line upgrades (Laremy Tunsil, Josh Conerly Jr.) and higher scoring opportunity. Austin Ekeler limits some receiving work but has durability/fumble concerns, which could reopen receiving looks for Robinson.
08/13 Medium (100%) Provides solid mid-round RB depth; improves RB room but not guaranteed weekly RB2 without a breakout from committee-mates.
08/13 Low Limited involvement in passing game historically, needs huge rushing volume to produce; added competition (Jahmyr/Crosby? text: Jakory Crosky Merritt) and QB running (Jaden Daniels) reduce ceiling. Prefer alternatives at similar ADP.
08/11 Medium (100%) Considered a top Zero-RB target, offering good potential for late-round value seekers.
08/11 Medium (100%) Robinson is a value pick in later rounds, projected to surpass Tony Pollard in fantasy production, making him a smart choice for those seeking depth at RB.
08/09 Medium Robinson could end up scoring a high number of touchdowns in a high-scoring offense, but he lacks high upside as a player.
08/08 Medium (100%) A reliable RB3 option with solid upside from later rounds, valuable if you're drafting heavy on flexible RBs.
08/06 High (100%) One of the best Zero RB candidates with ample value in Washington's strong offense. His red-zone usage and opportunity for conversion make him a great mid-to-late round target.
08/05 High Brian Robinson Jr. has a high upside for rushing touchdowns due to his role as the goal line back in a strong Washington Commanders offense projected to score high points per game. His likelihood to score 8, 10, 12 touchdowns is higher than many other running backs being drafted higher.
08/05 Medium (100%) Brian Robinson Jr. offers mid-round value as a RB option to add depth to your backfield, available at ADP 78.

Jonathan Taylor

Draft Priority High6.3

Draft him in the early rounds — he should get a heavy workload and can pile up rushing yards. Still, grab his backup later because he’s missed many games recently and isn’t a big pass catcher, and experts disagree so I’m not super sure. Want 39 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 35% in 39 sources updated about 9 hours ago

High priority: Target Jonathan Taylor in the early second round (ADP ~18, RB8) as a volume-dependent bellcow with top-end rushing upside supported by Indianapolis’s run-blocking and projected heavy workload. Draft him as a high-priority pick in mid-rounds for standard formats, but protect the selection with a handcuff and recognize his limited PPR ceiling and significant injury history (16 missed games last three seasons) which reduce floor and increase variance.

08/29 High (100%) Colts' offensive line still features Quenton Nelson and is identified as making Jonathan Taylor the 'biggest beneficiary' — a sign Taylor should be prioritized in early rounds for RB production.
08/28 High Listed among stable high-end RBs projected to be available in the second round; solid RB1 upside and good value at that range.
08/27 High (100%) Mock-draft note: 'Jonathan Taylor goes early in Round 2' (10-team mock). Indicates he is being drafted as a high second-round value — target in early second in 10-team formats.
08/26 High (100%) Was top-5 among RBs in rushing attempts/yards and averaged 17.5 PPG (RB7) last season; remains focal point of Colts offense with heavy expected touch volume (22.9 touches/game previously). Durability is a concern but volume and offensive line run-blocking profile make him a strong second-round target (ADP: RB8).
08/23 High (100%) Listed as a solid consolation prize/second-round option in two-RB strategies — safe early investment.
08/23 Medium Listed among later-round sleepers but carries known injury/usage risk; valuable as a mid-to-late round dart with upside if he returns to form.
08/23 Must Have Identified as a clear 'targeting' pick — high upside if he can be more consistent; still a strong draft target given upside rebound potential.
08/23 Medium (100%) Appears in the preseason top-10/teaser list but carries injury and efficiency risk; worth drafting for bounce-back upside but not at peak ADP.
08/22 Medium Ranked a bit too high for current ADP because of chronic ankle injury history, limited pass-catching (1.3–1.9 catches/game last two years), and a murky Colts QB/offense that likely reduces TD upside vs. his 2021 peak.
08/22 Medium (100%) Reliable three-down back with a strong track record when healthy; injury history is a concern but still a valuable pick if available in early rounds.
08/22 High Called the 2022 RB1 and selected in round two mock as a value — in formats pushing RB value (multiple flexes) he's a strong mid-round target with upside if healthy and usage returns.
08/19 High (100%) Article says the fantasy world might be underestimating Jonathan Taylor — implies upside/discount versus ADP and suggests buying value.
08/19 High (100%) Daniel Jones runs less than Anthony Richardson and is less likely to vulture rushing TDs, which helps Jonathan Taylor’s touchdown and volume profile. The QB change likely upgrades the Colts’ offense and makes Taylor a stronger RB target than he was with Richardson under center.
08/16 High (58%) Featured as a solid Round 2 option — consistent feature role and finished top-10 RB in fantasy PPG despite QB issues.
08/15 High Note that the fantasy world 'might be underestimating Jonathan Taylor' — implies bounce-back or value opportunity in drafts.
08/15 High Solid RB2 value when available in the mid-rounds — taken in round 4 in mock as a value pick. Good to target as a bellcow upside when building RB depth in Super Flex.
08/15 Medium (100%) Listed around $27 in PPR values — has big-play and volume potential but lands in mid-tier pricing; good value in middle rounds, not a must-spend early.
08/15 High (100%) The line 'Could Taylor be a Round 2 league winner?' implies Taylor is being recommended as a high-upside Round 2 target who could win your league if drafted in that range.
08/13 Low Spooks the analyst as a Round 2 pick — limited pass-catching role (hurts PPR value), offensive-line changes (lost Ryan Kelly), injury history and uncertain QB/score environment lower upside relative to ADP.
08/13 Low Too risky at current Round 2 ADP — has missed 16 games in last three seasons and was inconsistent early in 2024 (majority of production came after Week 12). Prefer upside of younger backs (e.g., Bucky Irving) later in drafts.
08/11 Ignore Health concerns are real, he hasn't played a full 17 games since 2021. Efficiency dropped off with poor missed tackle scores and yards after contact. Lack of pass game utility with Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones affects value.
08/11 Medium (100%) Taylor falls into a tier with volume-based backs with ceiling limitations, making him a potentially risky pick.
08/10 Medium Taylor has elite rushing stats but limited receiving numbers, paired with a history of missing games frequently. He should be a solid draft pick, but consider his injury history and lacking receiving role.
08/09 High Racked up 1431 total yards and 11 scores, indicating sustained involvement and fantasy relevance in Indy.
08/09 Medium (100%) Due to injury risks and high carry count, Taylor's rushing TD upside is limited. While still productive, the risk of injury makes him a less certain pick compared to past seasons.
08/07 Must Have Jonathan Taylor is another favorite for the NFL's leading rusher, showing his high draft value.
08/07 Ignore (100%) Jonathan Taylor's health and inconsistent play, alongside a weak Indianapolis offense, make him a risky RB1. His PPR reliance diminishes in current draft context.
08/07 Medium Ranked 18th, Jonathan Taylor presents moderate value with potential for solid contributions but with some risk due to recent performances and team dynamics.
08/06 High (66%) Fell to the third round but typically selected in the second round, represents good value if available here.
08/06 Must Have Has had at least 20 carries in eight of twelve games in the season, indicating consistent high usage.
08/06 Medium Concerns about consistent ceiling and unclear QB situation affect Taylor's draft stock.
08/06 High Taylor's touchdown rate declined in 2024, but an increase in end zone opportunities could see him return to the top-three RB territory. His potential uptick in carries inside the ten-yard line makes him a high-value draft pick.
08/05 High Strong early round pick for 0 wide receiver approach, consistently delivers RB value.
08/05 High (100%) Jonathan Taylor is valuable at ADP 18 due to the Colts' likely reliance on the run game. With 12 touchdowns and strong YPC, he's a reliable pick, especially beneficial when paired with other elite-adjacent RBs.
08/05 Ignore Despite being a top performer last season with over 1,500 total yards and 12 touchdowns, his extensive injury history and low receiving value diminish his draft stock. The model ranks him outside the top 15 at RB, indicating he's a bust to avoid.
08/05 High Jonathan Taylor is expected to have a heavy workload and be a focal point of the team's offense, making him a solid early-round pick.
08/05 High Selected as the No. 15 overall pick, Taylor offers strong value with his ability to produce both on the ground and in the passing game. His draft spot reflects strong confidence in his performance potential.
08/05 Low (100%) The 26-year-old is coming off another Fantasy RB1 season, finishing as RB7 overall with 1,567 total yards and 12 touchdowns, but there are major concerns such as an extensive injury history including 16 missed games over the last three seasons. Taylor also provides little value as a receiver, with fewer than 20 receptions in each of the last two years. The model ranks him outside the top 15 at his position.
08/05 Medium (83%) Could be picked up at the end of round two if still available, providing strong value with a potential RB fall.

Ollie Gordon II

Draft Priority Medium7.6

Draft him in the late rounds as a cheap backup — he’ll likely get only 5–10 small touches and maybe some goal-line work if the starter misses time, so don’t expect much unless there’s an injury. Want 14 more details?

Moderate consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 54% in 14 sources updated about 9 hours ago

Medium: Target as a late-round, high-upside speculative bench/handcuff rather than a mid-round starter; draft around late rounds/ADP ~RB60 (overall ~206) for minimal cost. Projects to offer 5–10 complementary touches and goal-line upside behind De'Von Achane, but his standalone floor is low and value is contingent on injuries or role volatility.

08/29 High (100%) Rookie sixth-round pick who now has clear path to early snaps after Jaylen Wright expected to miss Week 1 and De'Von Achane dealing with a calf issue. Low-cost late-round bench/handcuff with big upside; could become an early-season starter or valuable trade chip for Achane owners.
08/28 Medium (100%) Forecasted to rush for eight TDs due to injuries to De'Von Achane and a goal-line role — strong touchdown upside but dependent on health and role changes, so draft as a touchdown-upside flier.
08/28 High (100%) Likely locked in as Miami's No.2 early due to injuries to other backs; strong preseason usage (26 carries, 126 yards) and could be a Round 7 pick if De'Von Achane is out — significant upside as a complementary physical rusher.
08/28 Medium (100%) Big, banger back added by Dolphins who could hold a standalone role even with De’Von Achane healthy; offers different skillset and short-term value if opportunity opens, worth mid-to-late round consideration.
08/27 Medium (100%) Strong preseason (126 yards on 26 carries, 1 TD) and likely to carve out a role as change-of-pace back behind De'Von Achane after Jaylen Wright’s early-season injury. Offers upside as a complementary back in a productive offense.
08/27 High Now the Dolphins' RB2 with Jalen Wright injured and Devon Achane dealing with a calf issue; strong preseason (126 yards, 101 after contact, eight rushing first downs) and proven college production (2,000-yard season, 22 TDs). Late ADP (RB60, ~206) makes him a high-upside late-round target or waiver add, especially if you drafted Achane early.
08/27 High Projected direct backup with potential immediate large workload if Devin H or Jalen W are unavailable; identified as top-priority add/stash following cutdown day. High short-term upside and clear path to targets in week 1 scenario.
08/27 Low Described as a speculation play who needs an injury ahead to become relevant — lower ceiling than Allgeier per the analyst.
08/26 Medium (100%) With De'Von Achane dealing with a calf issue and Jaylen Wright struggling/injured, Gordon has impressed and projects as Miami's RB2; could carve out a weekly role in a two-back system — prioritize Gordon over Wright in drafts.
08/26 Medium (100%) Impressed in preseason, outperformed Jaylen Wright and could be the primary backup/handcuff to De'Von Achane while Wright is injured. Has upside to take RB2 role if Achane or others miss time, making him a valuable deep-league stash or handcuff target. However, concerns include regression in college 2024, a struggling Miami offense, and a shaky offensive line, which limit immediate redraft value.
08/22 Medium (100%) Rookie bruiser (6'1", 226 lbs) with preseason momentum (4.6 YPC) and a complementary role to Achane — projects to earn 5–10 touches per game even when Achane is healthy and could take red-zone work. Good late-round speculative pick with clear contrast in role and season-long utility, and higher upside than Wright as a handcuff.
08/22 Low (100%) Took most RB reps in practice while others were limited, indicating depth role risk; intriguing as depth-only insurance but not a standalone draft target unless injuries occur.
08/19 Medium (100%) Turned 10 carries into 50 yards showing power-speed; with De’Von Achane injured, Gordon II could handle a larger role. Described as a potential late-round gem who could matter immediately — draft as a high-upside late pick.
08/10 Medium (60%) Ollie Gordon II is competing for playing time with the Dolphins, showing explosive plays and earning praise in camp. With limited RB competition and positive camp reports, he's a strong candidate for preseason snaps.

Khalil Shakir

Draft Priority High6.3

Draft him in the mid-to-late rounds — he became one of Josh Allen’s main receivers and produced strong catches and yards when healthy. He has a high-ankle sprain that could cost weeks, so only grab him if he’s cheaper than usual or you’ve got a backup plan. Want 16 more details?

Mixed consensus from highly credible sources. Overall confidence 32% in 16 sources updated 3 days ago

High — draft Shakir as a mid-to-late-round value (target rounds 8–10; ADP often near WR40–WR45 / picks ~90–113) because he earned Josh Allen's trust, finished with strong efficiency metrics (elite catch rate and yards per route run) and operated as a target hog late last season. He carries short-term risk from a preseason high-ankle sprain that can cost multiple weeks, so prioritize him if his price reflects a mid/late-round discount — high upside/floor if healthy, moderate risk otherwise.

08/26 Low Recovering from a high‑ankle sprain that often costs 4–6+ weeks and impacts efficiency; being drafted ~WR45/113th overall (10th round) without a meaningful injury discount into a crowded Bills receiving room. Avoid drafting early — only consider deep‑bench stash if price drops and he's healthy.
08/22 Low (100%) Placed among later-round WRs and depth targets in the tiers — draftable as a backup/flex deep-sleeper rather than early priority.
08/15 Medium Was trending to a breakout last year before missing time with a high-ankle sprain and then a wrist injury. Shows upside if healthy but carries injury risk — treat as a lottery ticket with upside.
08/15 Medium (100%) Diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain and labeled week-to-week; coach expects Week 1 but continued misses warrant monitoring. If he has setbacks before your draft, avoid; otherwise target cautiously or seek slight discount.
08/14 High (100%) Earned Josh Allen's trust in 2024 with 100 targets, 76 catches, and a long stretch of 6+ target games. Elite catch rate (75.8%) and strong yards per route run (2.15) point to a high floor and continued volume in a top offense. Expected healthy for Week 1.
08/12 Medium Week-to-week with a high ankle sprain; optimism for Week 1 but these can linger. Slight downgrade; target if he slips past ADP.
08/09 High (45%) Shakir was a target hog from Week 7-18 last year with Josh Allen. He excels in yards after the catch and is underdrafted, going later than WR40 and available around pick 90.
08/06 High Khalil Shakir has a solid connection with Josh Allen and is a safety outlet, making him a reliable pick in the 9th round. If he stays healthy, he can achieve significant yardage and reception totals.
08/06 Medium Khalil Shakir projects as a solid WR3 with steady but not spectacular performance potential, resulting in a safer mid to late-round draft pick.
08/06 Medium (100%) Shakir was initially set up to be the top WR for the Bills due to trust with Josh Allen and opportunity. However, his value is impacted by a high ankle sprain, likely limiting his early-season availability. He becomes more of a WR3 with upside, significant in PPR leagues for his reliability in short passes. The Bills' balanced approach on offense may also cap his ceiling.
08/05 Medium Shakir could potentially outproduce his current draft perception with a favorable situation likely to emerge.
08/05 Medium Shakir has potential to outproduce expectations and provide good value compared to ADP, offering an appealing upside in drafts.
08/05 Must Have Khalil Shakir is highly underrated and considered the safest wide receiver option in the Buffalo passing offense, with a projected 2025 ADP in the 8th round.
08/05 Medium (62%) Despite increased summer hype for other Bills' pass catchers and Khalil Shakir's current injury, he is still worth drafting as his absence opens opportunities for others, indicating potential for outperformance relative to ADP.
08/05 High (55%) Shakir is Josh Allen's primary target, consistently putting up solid points. Given the game's high stakes and close score projection, he remains an undervalued gem in drafts.
08/01 High (54%) Shakir is the second-cheapest WR1 by ADP despite strong performance metrics last year. He ranked 21st in PFF receiving grade and was WR18 in yards per route run.
