Another manic Monday. Hopefully your drafts were successful this weekend and you can wear that smugness ALL day.

Today in 5 minutes or less, you’ll learn:

• 17 quick-hitter names for the queue ✍️

• What they can offer their teams and you 📈 

• Top-notch last-minute draft prep 😅 

• Who’s being cut and traded as deadline looms 🏈 

Cooper Kupp (LAR), ADP 7.5 WR4:

Was averaging 22.6 fantasy PPG before he got injured, which would have led the NFL. Opportunity share should stay level.

Chart from @MBFantasylife:

Jalen Hurts (PHI), ADP 21.9, QB2:

Ground game is essential for fantasy QBs, and Hurts was 1st in carries per game (11), RZ carries (43), and rush TDs (13).

Nick Chubb (CLE), ADP 13.2, RB4:

Chubb was RB6 in PPG in ‘22, and hasn’t been outside the top 10 since ‘18. He now has the Browns backfield to himself.

Darren Waller (NYG), ADP 60.6, TE4:

He was brought to New York to help move the ball more efficiently. With Daniel Jones’s improvement and Waller’s athleticism, it’s a match that will light.

Aaron Jones (GB), ADP 46.7, RB16:

Coming off a career-high in rush yards (1,121) and a 9th-place target share (13.4%). He’s the receiving RB for Jordan Love.

Diontae Johnson (PIT), ADP 73, WR29:

He’s one of just a small handful of guys to see 140+ targets 3 years running. Despite this, he didn’t score in ‘22, so he’s due.

Lamar Jackson (BAL), ADP 36.9, QB4:

New OC means higher pace of play and more passing volume. Awesome weapons in Baltimore means more efficiency.

Fantasy Life projects him for the 2nd-most rush yards and the 4th-most fantasy points. I think he can best it.

James Cook (BUF), ADP 77.4, RB24:

Cook has run the most of the starter snaps in the preseason, and he was explosive in limited work in ‘22, ranking 1st in breakaway run rate (12.1%), and 3rd in yards per touch (6.3).

Brandon Aiyuk (SF), ADP 68.7, WR27:

2022’s WR15 is supremely athletic, as he ranked 13th in route win rate and 3rd in target separation. He’s a better value than Deebo Samuel at this point in the summer.

Dalton Schultz (HOU), ADP 127.8, TE12:

6 Texan TEs combined for 131 targets last year. Schultz joins the team as the clear no. 1, and could see most of those chances.

Jahmyr Gibbs (DET), ADP 37.2, RB10:

The talented draft pick is a balanced player who can run and catch passes. Departed Lions RBs left behind 421 touches.

Aaron Rodgers (NYJ), ADP 116.1, QB16:

His “poor” ‘22 can be attributed to a hand fracture, and the man is looking happy and ready to go in New York.

Antonio Gibson (WAS), ADP 103.1, RB33:

I like Gibson as a sleeper in PPR leagues. He was 12th in WOPR and 16th in RACR, and J.D. McKissic left 40 targets.

(advanced stats from @MBFantasylife)

Marvin Mims (DEN), ADP 189.6, WR61:

He’s been making some great plays in the preseason, and Jerry Jeudy just got carted off the practice field with a hamstring injury.

Skyy Moore (KC), ADP 112.8, WR45:

Juju Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman left 135 targets behind, which Moore will try to earn from the slot position.

Miles Sanders (CAR), ADP 66.8, RB21:

According to coaches, he’s going to be involved in the passing game significantly for the first time since seeing 50 targets as a rookie. Scored 11 TDs last year.

Juwan Johnson (NO), ADP 156.6, TE19:

Word is he’s developed a very nice connection with Derek Carr already. He was 6th in ADOT and 4th in TDs last year, making him a sneaky good pick.
