FantasyPros • • sports
Key Points:
- Jake Ferguson is predicted to regress to TE3 in fantasy football due to the crowded Dallas Cowboys offense and his decline in production once CeeDee Lamb returned from injury last season.
- Rookie Jonah Coleman is expected to win the No. 1 running back job in Denver, with his strong college performance and potential goal-line usage offering a path to RB2 status despite competition and injuries in the backfield.
- Tyler Shough is projected to finish as a top-10 fantasy quarterback, benefiting from improved weapons in the Saints offense and his demonstrated rushing ability, positioning him as a QB2 with upside to QB1.
- Cam Skattebo has the talent and metrics to finish as a top-5 fantasy running back if he can avoid injuries and maintain his high level of production as a versatile three-down back.
- Ja’Marr Chase is boldly predicted to win the receiving triple crown while surpassing 2,000 receiving yards and 200 targets in a single season, a feat never before achieved, contingent on Joe Burrow's health and continued high usage.
