Josh Jacobs Enters 2021 With Lowered Fantasy Value
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs has rushed for at least 1,000 yards in each of his NFL seasons, but the addition of Kenyan Drake and the lack of receiving upside for Jacobs has his fantasy value lower than it's been in past seasons. Last season, Jacobs had 273 carries plus 45 targets. Both... Read More
Darren Waller Has A Chance To Be The Overall TE1
Despite what seems like an unassailable grip on the overall TE1 spot in fantasy football for Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has to be on the short list of players who could overtake Kelce by the end of the 2021 season. Waller has exploded over the past two... Read More
Phillip Lindsay A Potential Fantasy Steal
After three seasons in Denver, running back Phillip Lindsay joined the Houston Texans this offseason. While he's coming off of his worst NFL season, with just 502 yards and one rushing touchdown in 11 games, Lindsay is still a potential fantasy steal heading into the 2021 season. Houston has a lot of faces in their... Read More
John Brown Should Be Part Of Raiders Attack
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver John Brown played just nine games in Buffalo last season due to injury, but he still caught 33 passes for 458 yards and three touchdowns with 50.9 yards per game, the third-highest mark of his career.

Chris Conley Among Veteran Receivers Who Could Earn Snaps
While the Houston Texans know that Brandin Cooks will be starting at outside receiver and one of Randall Cobb or Keke Coutee will get slot snaps, the competition for the other outside receiver role is a huge toss-up heading into camp. Rookie Nico Collins might be the long-term solution, but after not playing last season,... Read More
Randall Cobb, Keke Coutee Will Compete For Slot Snaps
The Houston Texans have a lot of new faces at wide receiver this season, but the battle for slot snaps is expected to be between two players who were on last year's team, with Randall Cobb and Keke Coutee competing for those minutes. Cobb was limited to 10 games last season because of injury, catching... Read More
Brandin Cooks Role As Starting Receiver Is Safe
Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks is set to start for the Texans this season, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. McClain believes that Cooks is the only Texans receiver who enters training camp with a starting role in 2021 locked in. His fantasy ADP has reflected that all offseason, with Cooks being...

Tyrod Taylor Enters Camp As Starting Quarterback
With Deshaun Watson still away from the team, the Houston Texans will enter 2021's training camp with Tyrod Taylor as the team's starting quarterback. In fact, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle says that Taylor's role as the starting passer in Houston is one of the few things that team knows right now about their... Read More
Derrick Henry Isn't Necessarily a Safe Pick
"Standard" isn't the actual standard scoring method for fantasy football anymore. That means running backs who don't add much in the receiving game need to be especially dominant on the ground to still have high value in PPR and half-PPR. For the past few years, Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has done that, leading... Read More

Kahale Warring Will Likely Be On Roster Bubble
Houston Texans tight end Kahale Warring is a promising young player, but Aaron Reiss of The Athletic expects that Warring will be right on the roster bubble this preseason, with three tight ends -- Jordan Akins, Pharaoh Brown, and Brevin Jordan -- likely ahead of him on the depth chart. Hamstring issues have impaired Warring's... Read More
Nico Collins Could See Early Snaps For Texans
Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Nico Collins -- a third-round selection in the 2021 NFL Draft -- could see some early snaps this season, says Aaron Reiss of The Athletic.

Late-Round QBs That Could Be League Winners
