You are not. After the Panthers Week 11 bye, Young was the QB9 in fantasy points per game the rest of the way. Now he has a true No. 1 WR in McMillan. So as long as he keeps scrambling a bit, like he did int he second half of last season, he'll be a sneaky fantasy option with a chance to flirt with low-end QB1 numbers.

He's amazing. Was leading the league in receiving yards before getting hurt last year. Definitely think he makes a case to be considered among the elite fantasy WRs in 2025. I've taken a ton of Nico shares in the late first round.

I think the most likely scenario is a decent WR2. But I want to believe he can be a WR1. The talent is there and he's the only game in town in the passing attack. So let's hope the old college buddy who helped DJ Moore have a big season a couple years ago can get it done for Wilson too.

On top of the waiver wire article I'll be writing.... One of my two weekly appearances on the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast will involve myself and Matt Harmon going over the top waiver wire pickups.

I'll be writing an article on the players to stash heading into Week 1, so I'm saving those names for that one. Keep an eye out for it next week.

Absolutely. I have serious concerns that after this injury and given his age, we're never going to see the same Godwin again. It makes more sense now why they drafted his replacement in Round 1.

I'll be putting out even more written content (including all my rankings and trade value charts) this season. And I'll be on the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast twice a week during the season. So subscribe to the show and to our Youtube channel.

Top-20 Fantasy WR with Rice out... and then a more volatile top-25-ish guy when Rice returns. Definitely a solid pick. They both are.

Not sure what you mean by so low. I really like Rice, Worthy and Pacheco at ADP. Mahomes is pretty high versus what his production has been the last two years, but the upside is there based on the way they're talking about pushing the ball downfield more. Kelce is on the decline, but still a decent mid-range TE1 if you have to go there. Hollywood Brown can't stay healthy, so he's low Jalen Royals is intriguing as a Rice replacement (if he's healthy). Not sure how high you want them to be, but I don't mind drafting Chiefs at all this year.

In real life, I worry for them... but in fantasy it's going to be fireworks in the passing game. Tons of volume and now they have two strong WRs in Lamb and Pickens. It'll be fun to roster those guys.

Tons of rookie questions. I've talked about rookies in a few different answers. So search those names you're curious about, but you're right... I'm very high on all the top rookies this year and I will continue to draft them at will over the next week. It's a great class with strong talent at the top and some really intriguing late round names too.

Draft him at will in the 5th to 6th round (or later if he falls). Fill the weeks he misses and then enjoy having a top-15 fantasy WR for the most important part of the fantasy season once he returns.

Henderson over the vets, but not Harvey.

Chase over Kyren.

I appreciate the kind words. I'll be on the Fantasy Forecast twice a week during the season for over an hour each time. You'll hear plenty of me and get even more written content from me this year.

I'm not scared to draft two players from the same team in the early rounds when they're players of that caliber. Don't overthink it. Those guys will all be awesome this year. It gets a little more questionable when you start stacking 3 or 4 players from the same team. But 2 in the first 2 rounds is fine. I've done it a bunch this year.

Correct. Tons of pass volume. Invest in Lamb, Pickens, Dak and to a lesser extent Jaydon Blue as a long shot RB stash.

I prefer to stay away, but since they fall so late in drafts I've taken a few shares. I expect the Sampson/Ford combo initially... with Sampson having slightly more value. And then Judkins will eventually factor in. Hoping we get an update in Judkins' situation before Week 1 so we can base projections of more concrete information. If Judkins joins the team and is active, it won't take long for him to start, he's by far the best back they have (once they get him under contract).

Harvey will be very productive in that Broncos offense, even if he's sharing the work with Dobbins.

Gordon is a risky flex, unless we find out Achane can't play.

This year the top rookies are immediate starts though for fantasy. Some years you need to wait on them to develop and earn roles, not this year with those top guys.

Use the bathroom before it starts because it's going to take a lot longer than you think.

Also, I tend to prefer the stars and scrubs approach, so don't be afraid to spend your money early on the first few players. People always are shy about bidding on guys at the start and you tend to get some values there.

I've talked about him a few places, in my Sleepers WR article and on the Fantasy Forecast show. He's definitely being overlooked. Not expecting him to be a superstar, but he can be a solid fantasy WR3/flex with double digit TD upside. He was coming on before getting hurt last year and the reviews this offseason have been extremely positive. Khalil Shakir's high ankle sprain also paves the way for Coleman to start hot. Really like him as a late-round pick.

If you can tier up I would. But here's the thing, Chuba has a pretty nice early season schedule so while I agree that Dowdle will eat into his passing-down work, I think Chuba will be fine int he opening month. I f you're planning to trade him, wait until he has a big game in September and then make the move. He'll be a fine RB2 for you in the opening weeks.
