Jerry Jeudy, Broncos wide receiver with breakout potential, discusses his injury impact. The hosts analyze the Broncos' wide receiver situation, Anthony Richardson's performance, and late-round gems. They also cover ADP risers and fallers in Fantasy Football.
Courtland Sutton is expected to step up as the primary receiver for the Denver Broncos in the absence of Jerry Judy, but concerns about the team's offensive performance may limit his potential.
Calvin Ridley has the opportunity to become the number one wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons following Julio Jones' departure and has impressed in training camp, making him a valuable fantasy pick.
Dallas Goddard has had a dominant preseason for the Philadelphia Eagles and is set to have a significant role in their passing game, making him a safe option at the tight end position.
With the Minnesota Vikings committed to giving Alexander Mattison an every-down workload, he becomes a valuable handcuff option for Dalvin Cook and should be considered in the early rounds of drafts.
Despite concerns about his age, Aaron Jones is still viewed as a solid pick in the early rounds, as he has seen a rise in his average draft position and is now being selected ahead of Travis Etienne.
Fantasy managers can find great value in selecting DJ Moore, who has seen a significant increase in his average draft position and has the potential to be a consistent low-end WR1.
Deep dives
Greg Daltzic emerging as top tight end target for Denver Broncos
Greg Daltzic is impressing in training camp and could end up as the team's third leading receiver. He offers athleticism and can run routes effectively.
Jerry Judy's injury impact on Courtland Sutton
With Jerry Judy sidelined, Courtland Sutton is expected to step up as the primary receiver for the Denver Broncos. However, concerns about the team's offensive line and overall offensive performance may temper expectations for Sutton.
Calvin Ridley's potential as a true number one receiver
Calvin Ridley has the opportunity to become a true number one wide receiver for the Atlanta Falcons. With Julio Jones gone, Ridley has impressed in training camp and could outperform his draft status.
Dallas Goddard poised for a breakout season
Dallas Goddard has had a dominant preseason, and the Philadelphia Eagles are committed to involving him heavily in the passing game. He offers a safe option at the tight end position and has the potential to outperform his draft status.
Alexander Madison to see increased workload for the Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings are committed to giving Alexander Madison an every-down workload. With Dalvin Cook's injury history, Madison is a valuable handcuff option and worth considering in the early rounds of drafts.
Aaron Jones Moves Up in ADP
Aaron Jones has seen an increase in his average draft position, now being selected ahead of Travis Etienne and going in the middle of the third round. Despite concerns about his age, Jones is still viewed as a solid pick in the early rounds.
DJ Moore Rises in ADP
DJ Moore has seen a significant increase in his average draft position, now being selected 50th overall. This presents a great value for fantasy managers, as Moore has shown the potential to be a low-end WR1 and is capable of producing consistent points.
Javonte Williams Falls in ADP
Javonte Williams has seen a drop in his average draft position, now being selected behind players like David Montgomery, Rashad White, and James Cook. While Williams is still a promising rookie running back, these other options may offer more immediate production.
Cleo Herbert and Daven Cook Show ADP Movement
Both Cleo Herbert and Daven Cook have experienced changes in average draft position. Herbert has risen nine spots and is now being drafted 85th overall, while Cook has moved up eight spots to 81st overall. While neither should be taken in the top 80, Herbert may offer more value in the earlier stages of the season.
Deshaun Watson Drops in ADP
Deshaun Watson has seen a significant drop in his average draft position, now being selected 76th overall. This is likely a reaction to recent news and uncertainty surrounding Watson's availability. Despite his talent, there are too many off-field concerns to draft him at this stage.
Risers and Followers in ADP
Other notable players experiencing changes in average draft position include Alexander Madison (up four spots), Joe Burrow (down four spots), Breece Hall (down 12 spots), and David Montgomery (up five spots). Fantasy managers should assess these adjustments and consider the potential value they offer in their drafts.
