How Marlon Mack slipped further in the rankings than Damien Williams. Tapping into Duke Johnson’s incredible upside.

Sean Payton called Alvin Kamara soft. How early is too early to select Deshaun Watson in fantasy football?

Davante Adams had a rare dud after never scoring fewer than 16 PPR points in any game in 2018. Look for him to be more involved next week against Minnesota, where he logged lines of 8-64-1 and 5-69-1 last year.

With such an elite offensive line, Jacoby Brissett, Marlon Mack, T.Y. Hilton and Jack Doyle will continue to be usable fantasy options. This positive outlook comes after the Colts have faced their toughest defensive test for at least the next month.

Jacoby Brissett has a much better team around him than he did in 2017 when he last started games. We can’t forget that he was traded to the Colts eight days before that season began. That combined with suffering through 38 (No. 6) dropped passes makes his 13.5 (No. 24) fantasy points per game all the more impressive.

Dare Ogunbowale became a popular late round flier as draft season dwindled down. Those who participated in early-summer drafts will be able to find him on waivers, as he had zero buzz until early August. He’s been singled out multiple times by Bruce Arians as a player who has been working his way up the ranks.

Given the suite of weapons available in Carolina, they should have no problem keeping pace with the Rams offense. The total for this game might seem high at 50 points, but the two teams have the combined talent to smash the over.

Dede Westbrook is also a phenomenal prospect. In his final season at Oklahoma, Westbrook recorded a 77th-percentile College Dominator while averaging 19.1 yards per catch (90th-percentile). Add in Westbrooks’s profile and red zone usage, he accounted for 26.5% of Jacksonville’s targets inside the 20 last season, and the Foles-Westbrook combo could be a tournament-winner.

In Baltimore’s run-heavy offense, Mark Ingram should easily best his 11.5 carries per game from a season ago. Easily their most experienced rusher, he should push for 20 touches immediately. Add in a cupcake match-up and he becomes a lock in Week 1 DFS.

Listed among the 49ers’ starting wide receivers, Dante Pettis draws a juicy match-up against a porous Tampa Bay secondary in Week 1. Last season, Tampa Bay allowed the fifth-most passing yards to opposing signal callers (4,378) and then failed to address the position this off-season.

Quarterbacks Carson Wentz and Kyler Murray are underpriced. Jamming in running backs Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook.

Wide receiver is loaded with affordable options, particularly Curtis Samuel. Debating the best cash game tight end: Evan Engram vs Hunter Henry.

Kerryon Johnson averaged only 11.8 carries per game in 2018, and has a chance to blow past that total heading into his second season as Detroit’s top running back. Facing the Arizona Cardinals, he has the most favorable matchup of all running backs on the Week 1 slate.

Brought in to fill the  early-down role occupied by Gus Edwards last season, Mark Ingram brings with him a history of long runs and big play ability. After serving his four-game suspension, he finished 2018 with seven (No. 26) Breakaway Runs and a 5.1-percent (No. 23) Breakaway Run Rate.

Philadelphia expects to be a high powered scoring machine. With Alshon Jeffery lined up against Josh Norman, the fantasy points will role through him on Sunday. Norman allowed 2.10 (No. 80) fantasy points per target with an average 0.38 (No. 50) Fantasy Points Per Cover Snap.

Richard Sherman was not the dominant CB his analytics profile suggests he was. Mike Evans is a WR who feasts on an exploited opportunity. He averaged 2.09 (No. 18) fantasy points per target while averaging 18.1 (No. 10) fantasy points per game in 2018. Sherman relinquished 1.80 (No. 59) fantasy points per target allowed last season.

Marlon Mack’s ceiling is significantly reduced without Andrew Luck. How much does Andrew Luck’s retirement affect T.Y. Hilton?

Jacoby Brissett is better than advertised. Duke Johnson vs. David Montomery: Who is closer to the center of the Talent+Opportunity Venn diagram.

Over the past three seasons combined, no receiver displayed a higher average weekly volatility rate than Julio Jones (10.2). Player Profiler’s rating system considers any mark greater than 10 to be very volatile.

Albert Wilson and Tre’Quan Smith both displayed a high level of weekly volatility last season: Wilson with a 10.1 (No. 6) number and Smith with a 10.2 (No. 5) mark.
