The High Gamers To Goal within the Fifth Spherical
Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars
The 12 months 2 bump is actual and it’s spectacular.
Technically, final 12 months was Lawrence’s second season, however if you wish to strike the City Meyer season from the document, I wouldn’t blame you and that might make this the second actual NFL season for the prodigy that’s Lawrence.
He returns the identical solid of characters that helped him thrive final season with one minor the tweak: an alpha WR1. Calvin Ridley has an elite fantasy season on his resume and has accomplished nothing this summer season to decrease expectations for his return.

Ridley’s skill to stretch the sector ought to assist improve Lawrence’s danger tolerance (twenty second in aDOT final season) and thus his fantasy ceiling. A ceiling, by the way in which, that was fairly excessive with out him. Six of the previous seven quarterbacks to provide a 4,000-yard 5-rush TD season was a top-6 fantasy possibility within the subsequent season, with every of the previous 4 producing top-2 seasons on the place.
One enjoyable truth for the street. As if making an attempt to foretell participant efficiency wasn’t onerous sufficient, I’m making an attempt my hand at metrology. Week 10-17, common anticipated temperatures:
Lawrence: 60 levels
Jalen Hurts: 47 levels
Josh Allen: 42 levels
Patrick Mahomes: 37 levels
Darren Waller, TE, New Younger Giants
Waller has a pair of 1,100 yard seasons on his NFL resume and is the clear lower prime go catcher (WR/TE) on this Giants offense. What’s to not like?
He averages 12 yards per catch for his profession and enters an offense led by Daniel Jones, a quarterback who has seen his completion share on passes thrown 10-plus yards improve every season of his profession.
Waller’s projected goal charge makes him a straightforward decide over Kittle on the place on this spherical and, at value, there’s an honest probability he’s probably the most priceless tight finish in our recreation this season. He’s been probably the most regular risers in our PFN consensus ranks and all of us agree that his potential outweighs his present value.
Some will fear about him turning 31 previous to Week 2, however is he actually 31 years previous? I imply, technically, certain, that’s what his delivery certificates says, however he was hardly used throughout the first 4 seasons of his profession, saving him the wear-and-tear that almost all gamers at his age have gone by. This offense is a secure one that ought to be capable to transfer the ball constantly, very a lot placing Waller on the radar to complete because the TE2 in whole fantasy factors this season.
Mike Williams, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
May Kellen Moore be the important thing to unlocking a really elite Williams season? It’s properly throughout the vary of outcomes and at this worth, you’re not risking your season to search out out.
Phrase out of Los Angeles is that Moore goes to maneuver Keenan Allen and Williams across the formation, one thing that ought to elevate the ground of Williams (and, consequently, the ceiling of Allen).

Moore is understood for his discipline pushing tendencies, so that offers us the entry to top-10 WR manufacturing on any given week to go together with probably the very best flooring of his profession.
The concern throughout the fantasy neighborhood is that rookie Quentin Johnston will eat into a few of Williams’ potential and possibly that’s true. However possibly it’s not. At his present asking worth, the specter of Johnston is in-built, giving Williams extra room for draft day revenue than disappointment.
