With Jimmy Garoppolo’s recent ascension to the starter in San Francisco, the entire 49ers offensive supporting cast gets a boost to their stock. One guy who has an intriguing level of potential is rookie slot receiver Trent Taylor.

After spending the past two and a half seasons on the bench for the Jets and the Giants, Geno Smith finds himself once again in the role of a starting quarterback.

Antonio Brown wins in all quadrants of the football field with a dazzling array of wide receiver skills. He is equipped Dez Bryant’s touchdown prowess, DeAndre Hopkins’ target dominance, Keenan Allen’s route precision, Larry Fitzgerald’s hands, and Julio Jones’ downfield playmaking ability.

Ironically, the West Coast offense concepts that Jerry Rice helped popularize in the 1980’s, a high pass volume offense featuring a high completion percentage of short and intermediate routes makes Brown a real threat to Rice’s standing in the NFL history books.

Drew Brees is still in his prime, evidenced by a 58-percent Deep Ball Completion Percentage, which is No. 1 among NFL quarterbacks. While Russell Wilson scores fantasy points on the ground and through the air. Brees must go airborne or bust, and this year he has been a fantasy bust.

Brees has been betrayed by Game Script, which measures the average point differential at any point in the game. The Saints’ +5.26 Game Script is No. 3 in the NFL, and it’s driving down their historically high pass-to-run ratio.

Despite his limited workload, Johnson is still extremely efficient, as highlighted by his phenomenal +56.0 (No. 4) Production Premium. Just last week against the Jaguars, he finished with an exceptional 11.0 yards per touch.

The No. 5 overall pick from the 2017 draft may finally be ready to breakout. Corey Davis has begun to take on an increased role for the Titans, playing over 90-percent of the snaps in back to back weeks.

What happened to the Broncos? Denver has become a fantasy wasteland this season. But don’t blame Emmanuel Sanders. All Sanders does is convert splash plays when called upon.

Over time, the team you draft, is the team you get. The Broncos have failed to re-stock the roster in the NFL Draft each year since Elway arrived. Don’t blame Demaryius Thomas. Don’t blame Trevor Siemian. Broncos fans should blame the team’s struggles on John Elway, the most overrated front office executive in all of sports.

As a converted wide receiver from Arkansas State, J.D. McKissic possesses the hands and route running ability to serve as a formidable satellite back in Seattle’s offense. McKissic was highly productive during his time at Arkansas State, posting 103 receptions for 1,022 yards and five touchdowns.

With elite workout metrics across the board, Bruce Ellington possesses a 4.45 40-yard dash time (79th-percentile), a 127.2 Burst Score (81st-percentile) and a 10.64 Agility Score (97th-percentile). Ellington now looks to capitalize on an ideal cornerback matchup in a game which will see no regression in pass attempts.

Flying under the radar due to the impending return of Danny Woodhead, Alex Collins has found himself in a good situation this week. Collins burst onto the scene in week eight with a 143 yard performance against the Dolphins, and could be in line for a similar kind of day against the Packers.

After finishing as a top 15 fantasy running back for the first three weeks of his career, Tarik Cohen has cracked the top 30 in just one week since. Cohen has a great opportunity to return to relevance this week against Detroit.

Sometimes the worst match-ups can turn into the best match-ups for fantasy football. Here are five wide receivers to look for as junk time legends in the coming weeks.

If there is one team in the NFL that is certain to be throwing the ball in the second half of games due to being behind, it’s the Cleveland Browns. Corey Coleman has very little risk of falling victim to the Browns’ running the ball more than throwing.

The always enigmatic Patriots backfield began to take a more defined shape against Denver this past week. After missing most of the first half of the season with a rib contusion, Rex Burkhead shined in a big way for New England.

One of the 2017 NFL Draft’s most talked about prospects is finally rounding into shape. After injuries sidelined him for almost the entire first half of the season, Corey Davis is finally ready to contribute.

Juju Smith-Schuster is quickly becoming the ying to Antonio Brown’s yang and put Martavis Bryant in witness protection. Despite having just turned 21 years old, JuJu is the most efficient receiver in the NFL. 

Don’t forget about Corey Davis. Davis was a mega-producer all four years in college, posting an astronomical 5000-plus receiving yards before becoming a top-10 draft pick. Despite battling hamstring issues this season, he already has multiple 10-target games on his rookie resume.
