Keenan Allen, WR, Chargers (Priority: Medium)
It’s like Keenan Allen never left. Allen and Justin Herbert had great chemistry together in the 2024 opener. He had more targets than anyone on the Chargers.
Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jaguars (Priority: Medium)
Tank Bigsby was traded to the Eagles, which will open up opportunities for Bhayshul Tuten. Travis Etienne is still the starter, but Tuten is a good handcuff who could eat into the workload late in the year.
Marquise Brown, WR, Chiefs (Priority: Low)
Marquise Brown isn’t very good, but he’ll see an uptick in targets with Xavier Worthy hurt and Rashee Rice suspended.
Kayshon Boutte, WR, Patriots (Priority: Low)
There were glowing reports on Kayshon Boutte in the summer, and he responded with a 103-yard performance in Week 1. I don’t fully trust this, but it’s worth noting that Boutte was once considered a first-round draft prospect.
A.J. Brown, WR, Eagles
A.J. Brown had just one target in the opener. That’s not going to happen again. Brown is way too talented to be held down like this, although the hamstring issue is something that could derail Brown’s season.
Nico Collins, WR, Texans
Nico Collins was a no-show versus the Rams, but this was one of his toughest matchups of the year because of how good Los Angeles’ pass rush is.
Quentin Johnston, WR, Chargers
Quentin Johnston caught two touchdowns, but this doesn’t seem sustainable.
Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints
Alvin Kamara just scored a touchdown, so it’s time to sell high. Kamara is an older running back who will just wear down as the season progresses.
Javonte Williams, RB, Cowboys
Javonte Williams scored two touchdowns, but didn’t average four yards per carry despite Jalen Carter being out of the lineup. One of the most obvious sell highs you’ll ever see.
Jaydon Blue, RB, Cowboys
The Cowboys are dumb and didn’t even activate their best running back in the opener.
Kaleb Johnson, RB, Steelers
Kaleb Johnson had just one carry in the opener. He can be rostered if you have room as a handcuff, but he’s not involved in the game plan at all. Billionaire Arthur Smith at his finest.
Cooper Kupp, WR, Seahawks
There is no reason why Cooper Kupp should have been drafted in any round this summer.
Chris Rodriguez, RB, Redskins
Chris Rodriguez was a healthy scratch in Week 1. So much for being the goal-line back.
