With CB1 Jaylon Johnson likely to focus on Robert Woods, DJax could get the better of 2020 fifth-round pick Kindle Vildor, who logged a single start last year. He’ll begin his 13th campaign facing a notably thin Bears secondary. 3 duties behind Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp. That makes him the early favorite for No. Van Jefferson has dealt with a few setbacks over the summer while Jackson reportedly flashed in camp and built rapport with Stafford. From the weather (better for those aging joints) to the coaching staff to the QB, everything is sunnier in LA.Ī vertical threat whose speed compliments Stafford’s arm - and rumored to fill the Brandin Cooks role in Sean McVay’s offense - Jackson could boom out of the gate. Last year may not have started with a bang, and the 34-year-old lid-lifter isn’t the same player he was even two years ago, but a move from the Eagles to the Rams provides plenty of upgrades. That’s because Jackson has gone over 100 yards in three of his last five season openers (2016, 2018, 2019). When DeSean Jackson is healthy … you start him, particularly in Week 1. FF: 6-74-1 DeSean Jackson, WR, Los Angeles Rams (3% rostered - $12) Jones will open the season at Houston, a team that allowed 22 scores to opposing wideouts last year. That should translate into a lot of opportunities funneled to the reliable vet. In 2021, he’s reuniting with Darrell Bevel on a squad led by a generational talent and held back by a generous defense. Remember, points are points, even if they’re not pretty. Jones has posted 9 TDs in three of his last four seasons while also recording top-30 fantasy stats in each of those outings. He may have spent the better part of a decade on some of the worst teams in the league, but in that time he has produced for fantasy managers. Marvin Jones, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (59% rostered - $17) Coleman has flex appeal in his Gang Green debut. The Panthers allowed the most catches (94) to opposing RBs in 2020 and the eighth-most fantasy points to the position. It’s a weak spot for the Panthers, who are expected to roll out Myles Hartsfield while newly-added A.J. Tevin Coleman could go off - to the surprise of many - in Week 1. After an early season knee sprain limited him to eight games last year and now attached to an offense lacking in recognizable/reliable names, it’s understandable that the former 49er’s stock would plummet. Tevin Coleman, RB, New York Jets (23% rostered - $14)īetween the Michael Carter hype and Ty Johnson sleeper pub, FF gamers seem to have forgotten that Tevin Coleman is the Jets’ RB1. With a full complement of healthy pass-catchers (Garoppolo was on the field with Brandin Aiyuk, George Kittle, and Deebo Samuel for a total of two games in 2020, both of which he won while also clearing 265 passing yards in each and recording top-10 FF numbers in one) and Trey Lance nipping at his heels, Garoppolo should shine. Per BetMGM, the 49ers are heavy favorites ( -7.5) and this is shaping to be a smash spot for San Fran’s ground game (Psst… Raheem Mostert is $26 in Yahoo DFS). Newly installed DC Aaron Glenn might eventually get more out of Detroit’s young talent, but the (Ford-branded) engine won’t turn over the first time it’s fired up. In Week 1, he'll face off against a Lions defense that allowed the most fantasy points to opposing QBs last year. Let’s get to Week 1! Jimmy Garoppolo, QB, San Francisco 49ers (8% rostered - $24)
