The rise and fall of fantasy football players
Trending fantasy football players
Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL)
If you stop you We’ve heard it before: Kyle Pitts, As Elite Fantasy option, Might be The highest-paid tight end ever drafted is he He was a member of the league. He lived up to expectations, racking up over 1,000 total yards and just one touchdown in his rookie season, yet still ranking among the top 10 fantasy tight ends.
His second season was different. His touchdown totals doubled to two, but his targets and reception totals were cut in half for just 356 yards. He saw improvement from that awful season. In the third electionhe increased his receiving yards to 667, but wasn’t in the top 10 among tight ends in fantasy scoring.
Entering the 2024 season, Pitts will be catching the ball from in-form quarterback Kirk Cousins ​​(though he had Matt Ryan in 2021, but Ryan had been washed by then. Pitts also has a new coordinator in Zach Robinson. Who Learned at the Sean McVay School of Playcalling Which should Improved Arthur Smith Who He seemed to hate Pitt. Smith Atlanta tenure.
Bo Nix (QB – DEN)
New Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix was also the last QB to be selected, despite being the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. photograph 6th in the first round and 6th in that position. He is PhotographedI will be joining the team. very a bit There is no hope of success, Promised First job, the Understanding Nyx has been relatively put off So then Fantasy Draft.
So far, the Knicks have performed well in practice and workouts (albeit without pads), with head coach Sean Payton saying he’s “more advanced than most of the players.” Granted, Payton was the driving force behind the Knicks’ draft pick, so take it with a pinch of salt. But when you consider some of the Knicks’ competitors, including draft bust Zach Wilson and veteran Jarrett Stidham, Nix is ​​starting.
So, the question is, how What will happen to the Knicks? Year Russell Wilson rushed for 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns last season with Denver, and also rushed for 340 yards and three touchdowns, ranking in the top 15 among fantasy quarterbacks. Nix has the arm and legs to match those numbers. Based on his current QB31 ranking, he’s definitely a bargain.. hell Your rankings will start to climb As He’s getting starter snaps and attention.
Fantasy football players on the decline
Kylen Williams (RB – LAR)
it was Just a few months ago Kiren Williams was wrapping up one of the most unlikely fantasy football seasons. Recent history. Despite missing a quarter of the season, Williams is still a top-five fantasy running back. whole It’s been quite a rollercoaster ride for Williams and his fantasy managers since the 2023 offseason, when he rushed for more than 1,100 yards, scored 12 touchdowns and led several teams to fantasy championships.
Fast forward to this offseason, and Williams is on the other side of the trend. First, there are the injuries. Between foot and ankle injuries and a broken hand suffered in last year’s playoffs, Williams is a walking medical case.
The Rams pretty The top draft pick for a running back: Los Angeles selected Michigan running back Blake Corum with the 83rd overall pick. Which What piqued my interest in the fantasy world was A) the To begin with, it’s rare for the Rams to have a draft pick. but B) They spent a pick on a running back when they have some other holes to fill. But this is a Sean McVay-led offense. Not yet This is the first time since Todd Gurley in 2019 that the same running back has been the team’s rushing leader for two consecutive years.
the All of this led to Williams slowly dropping down the fantasy rankings. Instead of being a top-five selection in the draft, Williams was Almost nothing left In the top 10. And he do not See the field early, Colm Given More running in training camp and preseason.
Justin Herbert (QB – LAC)
So then In fantasy stats, Justin Herbert has been very solid as a QB1. He finished as a top 11 quarterback. each His first three seasons in the league. He missed a month in 2023 but still threw for over 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns and was on his way to another QB1 finish.
But the Chargers have not fully utilized their young point guard’s talents. Two years ago they only made the playoffs once, but last year they finished last with a record of 5 wins and 12 losses. of Transfer by bus, maybe maximum Free agent coaches are on the market, Gym Harbaugh. Harbaugh, Fresh off a national championship, he’ll get another chance in the NFL after a successful stint with San Francisco.
Usually, when you hire a coach with this background, It will be a boost Players, especially Quarterback value, both In the real world and in fantasy leagues. it’s not Herbert’s Harbaugh has not been shy about his preference to run the football, verbally and verbally. his He added Greg Roman to the team and led a run-heavy offense in San Francisco. Roman The team ranked in the top nine in rushing attempts in each of his seasons. Ten Harbaugh has been a coordinator for several years, with his teams only finishing higher than 28th in pass attempts once, and he also acquired former Ravens players Gus Edwards and J.K. Dobbins to lead the rushing attack and used his first draft pick (No. 5 overall) on lineman Joe Alt rather than receiver Malik Neighbors.
it is Huge Transition to Herbert, Who Since entering the league, they have never finished lower than 12th in pass attempts. he, And that Chargers, It should be successful. but It may look a little different.
