Getting to the weekend brings as much relief as the Commanders fans felt when Dan Snyder left town.

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

• The DJ looking to spin production in Chicago 💿

• An incoming 2nd-year breakout 💥 

• The vet making the best of his situation 🚀 

• Headlines from the NFL Preseason 🚨 

D.J. Moore (CHI), ADP 53.2, WR21:

The Moore I look the better this pick feels. Don’t believe me?

He handled the load quite well as Carolina’s no. 1 guy in ‘22:

• 1st in WOPR (86.9%)

• 4th in deep targets (29)

• 1st in air yard percentage (53.4%)

His ADOT was 13, which placed him 2nd of all WRs with 100+ targets and 6th among all WRs with 80+ targets.

Chart from Matthew Berry’s fantasy life:

All of that led to 6 games of WR16 or better, which is not too shabby. But he played with a carousel of QBs last year, including Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and P.J. Walker. This time he returns with one of the most intriguing fantasy stars in the game.

Word is that the two have clicked EXTREMELY well in workouts, and that Moore is highly motivated with his new team.

As for Justin Fields, he was underwhelming in the passing stats last year, but he’s been working on reads and mechanics, and the team has made it a point to improve in this area.

The other WRs like Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool are serviceable guys who can support a solid offense.

But I keep coming back to Moore as the guy who’s ready to make a leap with his new opportunity.

Drake London (ATL), ADP 62.1, WR24:

London showed incredible promise as a rookie:

• 18th in RZ targets (15)

• 5th in target share (29.4%)

• 11th in yards per route run (2.40)

• 20th in unrealized air yards (640)

He was also 9th in the league in percentage of targets inside the 10 yard line, with 32% (Fantasy Life).

But a lot of that explosion came when Desmond Ridder took over at QB. In the last 4 games of the season, London was WR18. This, even though he did not score a TD over that span.

With the offense adding Bijan Robinson in the draft, Kyle Pitts returning to health, a good O-line, and development from Ridder, London is looking like a solid WR2.

Marquise Brown (ARI), ADP 87.4, WR35:

Everyone is so down on this guy.

I get that there are questions around the Cardinals’ offense, and especially around the return of Kyler Murray, but Hollywood was fantasy’s best WR from Weeks 3-5 in ‘22.

He had 14 catches in Week 3 alone.

In fact, once DeAndre Hopkins went out with an injury, Brown had some highly productive averages:

• 10.6 targets per game

• 7.1 receptions per game

• 18.25 PPR fantasy points per game

Now it’s Hollywood’s full time role.

Zooming out, Brown had double-digit fantasy points in 7 of 8 Hop-less games, averaging 15.4 PPG over that span.

That would have been 8th over the season.

And Kyler Murray is going to be back at some point. When he played he was 2nd in accuracy rating (8.2), and Arizona was 4th in pass attempts per game (39.1).

So, that sets up Brown nicely for a midseason boost.

Even with sub-par QB play expected, and an uncertain timeline for Murray, Hollywood will be the WR1 in Arizona.

It’s not a perfect situation, but the talent is undeniable.

Nico Collins (HOU), ADP 139.1, WR55:

At 6’4” and 215 pounds, Collins can outmuscle defenders for contested catches — and he showed it.

He was 4th in true catch rate (112.1%) and 2nd in contested catch rate (66.7%) in ‘22.

From Weeks 10-13, his best stretch, he earned 9 targets per game and had 2 finishes inside the top-25.

Now that Brandin Cooks is gone, he has a real shot to take over the no. 1 role. The other WRs on the roster are an aging Robert Woods and a few guys who have yet to establish themselves.

Perhaps the most promising thing is the way he’s already built a rapport with C.J. Stroud, who will bring his accuracy, arm strength, and mechanics to Houston.

Stroud looked Collins’s way often during spring workouts, with multiple reporters calling him the favorite target.

And while the Texans project to improve from 3-13-1 record, they’ll still trail. It bodes well for passing game usage. FantasyLife projects Collins for over 100 targets, which is nothing to sneeze at.

In summary, I think Collins has a shot to DESTROY this ADP and provide valuable fantasy production for your team.
