THE FEATURED FIVE

Javonte Williams Denver Broncos

With everything from the QB to the ownership changing in Denver, there’s an opportunity for the efficient Williams to be one of the top running back values in the middle rounds. He will still split touches with Melvin Gordon III, but Williams is expected to have the larger share.

Baker Mayfield Carolina Panthers

After a training camp competition with Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield has won the starting QB job in Carolina. Mayfield benefits from a pass-catching group that includes DJ Moore, Christian McCaffrey, and Robby Anderson. He will face his former team, the Cleveland Browns, in Week 1.

Romeo Doubs Green Bay Packers

The Packers’ rookie Doubs has impressed in his first two preseason games, catching a touchdown in each. Despite having issues with drops, Doubs has been a visible member of the offense, and holds late-round or dynasty league potential, especially if he seems more reps with Aaron Rodgers.

Jalen Tolbert Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys have stars at the top of the offense, in Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, but there’s room for someone to emerge as a depth receiver. Tolbert caught a pair of touchdown passes in Saturday’s preseason game, and could see regular season starts, with Michael Gallup recovering from a knee injury.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will enter the season with a revamped offense, and free agent signing Valdes-Scantling expects to be a part of it. He’s had many boom or bust games in Green Bay and he’s currently being drafted in the 14th round, where he be a fine lottery ticket if he develops chemistry with Mahomes.

FANTASY TRENDS

Cole Kmet Chicago Bears

The third-year tight end is a trendy pick to have a career season, and we got to see him in game action this past weekend in new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s system. Kmet caught two passes from Justin Fields, as the two have shown improved chemistry heading into this season.

Josh Jacobs Las Vegas Raiders

New Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels has been using a running back-by-committee approach this preseason, and Jacobs figures to see touches go to the group of Ameer Abdullah, Zamir White and eventually Brandon Bolden. Jacobs has seen his ADP drop, and fantasy managers may want to see how the Raiders backfield shapes up before committing to him.
