| Name | Pos | Team | Age | Yrs Exp. |
Pos. Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tua Tagovailoa | QB | MIA | R | QB - #30 | |
| Last year Tagovailoa was on a higher path after nine games (2,840 passing yards with 33 TDs and three Ints) than Joe Burrow, but his season ended in mid-November with a significant hip injury and a broken nose. In Week 8 of the season, he passed for 418 yards with four TDs and one Int against LSU, but Burrow (393/3) won the game 46-41.
Tagovailoa had an ex... Read More | |||||
| Ryan Fitzpatrick | QB | MIA | 37 | 15 | QB - #38 |
| Over his last 23 games, Fitzpatrick has shined multiple times for the Bucs and the Dolphins while delivering elite value to some of his WRs. Last year he stole the starting job from Josh Rosen with his best play coming over the final five games (326 passing yards per game with 11 TDs). The Dolphins drafted QB Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth overall pick, which points... Read More | |||||
| James Conner | RB | PIT | 25 | 3 | RB - #24 |
| Over the first seven games, Conner scored six TDs with success in three contests (125 combined yards with one TD and eight catches, 119 combined yards with one TD and seven catches, and 150 combined yards with one TD, and three catches). Over his other four weeks, he struggled to make plays (222 yards with three TDs and 11 catches). Conner battled quad and shoulder... Read More | |||||
| Mark Ingram | RB | BAL | 30 | 9 | RB - #31 |
| In a way, Ingram overachieved his opportunity (15.2 touches per game) in fantasy points (244.50 FPPG in PPR leagues – 9th) thanks to a high volume of touchdowns (15). His catch rate (89.7) commands more chances, but age (30) isn't on his side. Last year the Ravens' RBs rushed for 2,029 yards on 399 carries with 14 TDs and reasonable value in the passing game ...

| Tyler Eifert | TE | JAX | 29 | 7 | TE - #22 |
| For the first time in his career, Eifert played a full season in 2019. Even so, his final stats ranked only 19th in TE scoring (106.60) in PPR leagues. He gained fewer than 30 yards in 11 contests with three catches or less in 14 games. The move to Jacksonville doesn't look attractive based on their TE usage (53/459/3 on 79 targets) in 2019. Eifert has tal... Read More | |||||
| Will Fuller | WR | HOU | 26 | 4 | WR - #46 |
| Fuller remains to be more of a tease than a wise investment in the fantasy market. Over his four seasons in the NFL, he's yet to play a full year while missing 22 of his possible 64 games. In 2019, Fuller did set career-highs in catches (49) and receiving yards (670) with a massive part of his value coming in two games (14/217/3 and 7/140). He missed five of his fi...
