Houston Texans tight end Darren Fells enters 2020 with the same outlook he had for most of 2019, which is that he’s a boom-or-bust fantasy tight end. Fells caught seven touchdowns in 2019, but also had eight games in which he finished with 20 or fewer yards. Fantasy managers shouldn’t trust Fells to be a weekly starter, but if you’re in a two-TE league and

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown could be in line for a successful year in 2020, with that trend possibly starting in Week 1 against Cleveland. Hollywood had flashes of efficiency throughout his 14 appearances during the regular season in 2019, compiling two games with multiple trips to the end zone and seven games with over at least 10 yards per reception. With many teams

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb wasn’t the biggest name to join the Houston Texans this offseason, but he might be the addition that ends up helping the team the most as he’ll serve as a solid slot option for the team. While the Week 1 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs is scary for Houston’s offense, Cobb’s upside as the team’s one real underneath

With no preseason, familiarity could be more important than ever at the beginning of the 2020 NFL season. That might not be great news for fantasy managers who’ve rostered Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks. A talented receiver, Cooks has two key things working against him in Week 1: it’s his first game as a Texan, and he faces the Kansas City Chiefs, who allowed

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews should be considered a must-start against the Browns in Week 1. Cleveland allowed 12.51 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends in 2019, and after some key departures on the defensive end during the offseason, that number may not improve in 2020. With most teams focused on stopping Lamar Jackson this year, especially as a runner, the door

With DeAndre Hopkins gone, Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller V is going to be expected to step into an even bigger role in 2020. That starts on Thursday, with the Texans taking on the Kansas City Chiefs in a Week 1 matchup. The Chiefs have some strong options in the secondary to slow down Houston, but Fuller’s deep-ball upside makes him a solid play,

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has a favorable matchup heading into Week 1 against Cleveland. While the Browns held its own against opposing quarterbacks in some areas last season, it gave up a second-worst 382 yards and three touchdowns to that position in 2019. The reigning MVP is undoubtedly a capable passer; however, the recipe is there for Jackson to make a dent on the

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson carries a lot of fantasy risk heading into Houston’s Week 1 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. While the Chiefs allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to backs last season, Duke Johnson’s projected role now that Houston’s acquired David Johnson is hard to predict. The best thing for fantasy managers to do at this point with Duke is to keep

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd is coming off two-straight 1,000-yard seasons and will look to keep his momentum going heading into the 2020 season. Cincy will take on the Chargers in Week 1, and although Boyd has the potential to make some noise on the fantasy front, he will be catching passes from rookie quarterback Joe Burrow, a player who has yet to play

Houston Texans running back David Johnson will make his Houston Texans debut on Thursday night when the Texans face the Kansas City Chiefs. K.C. allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2019, which could work out nicely for Johnson this week. Of course, Johnson looked fairly pedestrian down the stretch for the Cardinals last year and the Bill O’Brien era Texans haven’t

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson doesn’t have the easiest matchup on Thursday night when he faces the Kansas City Chiefs, but he remains a solid starting option. Watson, who just signed an extension with Houston, will be operating without his former top receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, this year, but the Texans have put a vertical passing offense around him that should play to his strengths. He

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green will see the field for the first time in nearly two years against the Chargers in Week 1. The former Pro Bowler is arguably the most impactful wideout in Bengals’ history, amassing 602 catches for 8,907 yards and 63 touchdowns. However, after tearing the ligaments in his ankle during training camp of last season, many have reservations as to

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron could be in store for a big season in 2020. The Steelers are considering Ebron a “mismatch chess piece” who they can line up all over the field in the offense. According to beat writer Nick Farabaugh, “Ebron’s going to get a lot of targets and looks this year.” Injuries limited Ebron to just 11 games with the Indianapolis

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will likely see less work as a punt returner this season so the team can give the 34-year-old player more opportunities to be effective in the passing game. The veteran still remains one of the most valuable offensive pieces on the team and just needs more time to take a breather, especially after playing in 87 percent of

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery‘s status for Week 1 remains unclear due to a groin injury he sustained on August 26 that would cause him to miss a few weeks. A worst-case scenario would be him missing a game or two at the beginning of the season. The back was at practice on Sunday, but how much he participated remains unclear. The 23-year-old is

Houston Texans running back David Johnson will have the pressure on him this season with the Texans as he looks to be a factor for the team and prove he can be a workhorse back in the NFL again. Houston made headlines earlier this offseason for trading elite wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals for Johnson, a move that was panned by many.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker will be ready for Week 1 after missing one week of training camp due to an unspecified, but minor injury. This is good news for Miami as WRs Albert Wilson and Allen Hurns have already opted out of the season, leaving the team with Parker, second-year player Preston Williams, and Jakeem Grant as the top three wideouts. Parker is

Quarterback Josh Rosen signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as part of their practice squad on Sunday. The 2018 first-round pick was released by the Miami Dolphins on Saturday and will now head up the state for his third team after being drafted just a couple of years ago. Rosen was ultimately let go by Miami due to the presence of rookie Tua Tagovailoa, who

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is one of the safest options out there in fantasy football. In four seasons, Thomas has averaged 150 targets per year and has never finished worse than the WR5 in PPR formats. He enjoys an elite-level connection with future Hall Of Fame quarterback Drew Brees, as the two share the highest completion percentage among QB/WR duos since the

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray was a great insurance policy for starter Alvin Kamara last year. In the two games Kamara missed, Murray played at least 82 percent of the snaps and received at least 30 touches in both contests. That is a massive workload and makes Murray worth drafting simply for the mere prospect of a Kamara injury. However, the 30-year-old Murray
