N’Keal Harry is the best candidate to be the next low risk/high reward wide receiver in fantasy drafts this season. His current FFPC ADP puts him in the 16th round. Though all New England skill position players are devalued due to Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer being the quarterbacks. Harry is perceived to have stiff competition from Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu, and James White. Nobody should be surprised when Harry outperforms all three of these guys in 2020.
Darius Slayton offers the most upside among Giants receivers on deep targets and in the red zone, the areas of the field where the most fantasy points are accrued. Sterling Shepard has the higher floor in this offense, but Slayton has the higher ceiling. His deep threat ability and red zone potential make him a fantasy value at his cost, being taken outside the top 100 players. Slayton’s player profile and rookie year production place him directly on path to emerge as the lead target in the Giants passing game.
Matt Breida was an efficient back in San Francisco. He averaged 4.6 (No. 10 among qualified running backs) and 4.8 (No. 9) True Yards Per Carry over the past two seasons, with two top-6 finishes in Breakaway Run Rate. Now a member of the Miami Dolphins, the 25 year old finally has a chance to be a feature back. With the lowly Jordan Howard his lone competition, Breida is primed for a big 2020.
At 5-10, 216-pounds, Damien Harris boasts above average 40-yard dash and Speed Score marks. Better yet, he owns a 123.4 (75th-percentile) Burst Score. The Patriots need weapons for young quarterback Jarrett Stidham, but a lack of cap space not only prevents them from adding players, it may lead to the release of current ones. There’s a lot to like about the sophomore, and though Sony Michel is the lead man, Harris is set up to make noise this season.
Dallas acquiring CeeDee Lamb in the 2020 NFL Draft put a wrench in dynasty gamers’ hearts by hypothetically putting a cap on Michael Gallup’s upside. In 2019, Dak Prescott supported four 80-plus target receivers, and two of those players have since departed. There is no reason to doubt his ability to support two fantasy WR1s in 2020, with Lamb and Blake Jarwin not far behind. Since coming into the league, Prescott has increased his passing attempts each season, closing in on 600 in 2019.
Gallup shows great ability to stay on the field, attract targets from a fantasy-viable quarterback, and dominates the Target Share alongside other talented receivers. From March to May, his DLF ADP dropped from pick No. 50 to pick No. 80. This will allow fantasy gamers to follow the robust RB strategy, pounding running backs in the first five rounds. Gallup has a top-5 ceiling in 2020, and can be drafted as late as the seventh round, where you should smash the button every time.
Blake Jarwin’s efficiency metrics hint at a player that deserves far more opportunities. He was inside the top ten at the position in 2019 with 8.9 (No. 6) Yards per Target, 2.37 (No. 8) Yards per Pass Route, and a 10.7-percent (No. 8) Target Premium. He has a clearly demonstrated chemistry with his quarterback Dak Prescott, enjoying a 6.7 (No. 4) Target Quality Rating and giving Prescott a 126.6 (No. 5) QB Rating whenever he looked his way. Finally, a Cowboys tight end to get excited about.
In two games without Greg Olsen last season, Ian Thomas averaged seven targets per game and 10.5 PPR points per outing. He would have done even better if he had benefited from any degree of chemistry with his quarterbacks. Thomas and the Panthers have an upgrade at quarterback in Teddy Bridgewater, who was No. 2 in the NFL in 2019 with a 7.8 Accuracy Rating. When the Panthers reach the red zone, he’ll be the player Bridgewater will be looking for. There is no doubting Thomas in 2020.
After a few seasons with the Saints, Dan Arnold was waived and subsequently claimed by the Arizona Cardinals in December of last year. In Week 17, he saw meaningful snaps after Charles Clay went down. He capitalized by grabbing four balls on six targets for 76 yards and a touchdown. Clay is now a free agent, leaving Arnold to be the primary tight end option on a wide open depth chart at only 25 years old.
LSU’s Foster Moreau was an early Day 3 pick in the 2019 draft for the Raiders. This appears to be an unfavorable target situation, but Darren Waller’s contract features no dead cap after 2020 and Jason Witten is unlikely to command meaningful targets. There is a path to a prominent role for the 23 year old that possesses a 127 (93rd-percentile among qualifed tight ends) SPARQ-x score and athleticism metrics above the 80th-percentile across the board.
Levante Bellamy did not come to Western Michigan as a running back. According to 247Sports, he was the No. 13 wide receiver and No. 499 overall prospect in the 2015 class. Western Michigan listed him at wide receiver on their roster in 2015. With elite burst displayed at the NFL Scouting Combine and a football background as a receiver, he profiles as an under the radar running back set to succeed at the professional level.
Looking ahead at future opportunities, Bellamy has the skillset to allow the Broncos to move on from Phillip Lindsay instead of committing a multi-year, expensive contract to a backup running back whose 11.6-percent Drop Rate on 95 career targets will limit his role to early down work when Melvin Gordon needs a breather. Bellamy is the better back to partner with Gordon going forward in fantasy football.
It seems Allen Robinson will merely have to improve on his career-low 11.7 (No. 69 among qualified wide receivers) yards per reception to outproduce his 2019 season. Nick Foles had no problem launching the ball to Alshon Jefferey in Philadelphia, so he should see no reason to hold back from doing so to Robinson in Chicago. With his projected volume, Matt Nagy moving him all over the formation, and Foles under center, a top five fantasy season is in the range of outcomes.
The Rams moving to a much higher percentage of two TE sets falls in line with what Sean McVay previously did in Washington with Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis, while also helping a deteriorating offensive line. With Brandin Cooks traded, this shows that McVay intends to continue running two TE sets and solidifies the workloads for both Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp. While many will be quick to draft Kupp as a WR1, Woods has the same ceiling with a higher floor.
DeeJay Dallas has a chance to seize a role as a rookie. Buffalo had Gabriel Davis graded as a second round talent.
Lamical Perine slots in as a direct back-up and that gives him upside. Albert Okwuegbunam could be a thing sooner rather than later.
A stud running back is the Holy Grail of fantasy football, but how do we quantify their impact? According to ESPN, 78.1-percent of those who had Christian McCaffrey made the playoffs in PPR leagues in 2019. He was a cheat code in every sense. Those who drafted McCaffrey and weren’t plagued by injuries, more than likely made the playoffs. In comparison, only 61.5-percent of Michael Thomas owners made the playoffs.
Over the last three years, 72-percent of top 12 running backs in Fantasy Points per Game were picked in the top 36 of fantasy drafts. 2020 is the year for Robust RB. Punch your lottery ticket three times over in the first 36 picks by hammering RB-RB-RB. Take a swing at tight ends and quarterbacks in the late stages of your draft. Let your leaguemates take on the balanced approach in the early rounds while you take home the prize with your stable of high-end workhorses.
