Fantasy Football Player Notes
2019 Draft Rankings
|
51.
Phillip Lindsay
RB - (vs . OAK)
It's pretty rare to see a running back who finished top 12 his rookie season despite missing a game fall down draft boards the following year, especially when the team didn't add another running back. That's precisely the case with Lindsay, who will share some touches with Royce Freeman, but Lindsay has proven to be much more capable in the pass-game than Freeman, which gives him the nod as the starter. While there is some built-in risk, it's not enough to knock Lindsay out of solid RB2 territory

83.
Royce Freeman
RB - (vs . OAK)
There are many who've written off Freeman as just a backup, while others are expecting his talent to shine through and earn a bigger role under the new coaching staff. The issue is that Phillip Lindsay is a better pass-catcher, which means he isn't going away. Still, Freeman will have a role in the offense, even if it's in a timeshare. He can deliver low-end flex numbers with RB2 upside if something were to happen to Lindsay

104.
Courtland Sutton
WR - (vs . OAK)
Despite starting for much of the season and finishing with 84 targets, Sutton failed to capitalize on them in his rookie season. He finished with just over 700 yards, which isn't horrible, but he now has a quarterback (Joe Flacco) who hasn't supported consistency out of wide receivers his entire career. On top of that, the Broncos moved to a defense-first head coach who'll want to run the ball a bit more often. It's tough to see Sutton overcoming some of these obstacles and breaking out in 2019

159.
DaeSean Hamilton
WR - (vs . OAK)
There are some expecting a breakout season from Hamilton after he posted four straight 40-plus yard games with two touchdowns in the final month of the season, but you should have some doubts. Not only is Courtland Sutton the No. 1 option on the team, but they also brought in Noah Fant, a possession-style tight end, in the first-round of the draft. On top of that, Joe Flacco has never really supported a consistent wide receiver in fantasy for more than spurts. Hamilton is talented, but it's likely the wrong situation to expect a breakout

198.
Denver Broncos
DST - (vs . OAK)
The Broncos are nowhere near the same shutdown defense that carried an old Peyton Manning to the Super Bowl, but they still have enough left in the tank that you can draft them as your D/ST, especially to play in Week 1 as a streamer versus the Raiders.

215.
Noah Fant
TE - (vs . OAK)
It can be argued that Fant has the better opportunity than T.J. Hockenson this year, as the Broncos receiving corps is likely to be without Emmanuel Sanders to start the year, and they have Joe Flacco at the helm, who's always gravitated towards his tight ends. Fant has a ways to go in his blocking, but as a receiver, he should be able to contribute right away. However, knowing what we do about rookie tight ends, it's best to just stream Fant when he has a good matchup rather than draft him
|
|
222.
Joe Flacco
QB - (vs . OAK)
Although the Broncos drafted Drew Lock, it wasn't until the second round so it is by no means certain that he will ever overtake Flacco for the starting job. With that said, Flacco's job isn't safe if he performs poorly again, and the receiver corps certainly won't help so think of him as a QB3 in SuperFlex leagues.

274.
Theo Riddick
RB - (vs . OAK)
Is Riddick going to fall by the wayside with both Kerryon Johnson and C.J. Anderson healthy? We're talking about a guy who's averaged 72.2 targets over the last five years despite missing 10 games. If so, it probably means we're undervaluing Johnson. Riddick is still likely to be involved, but he's not someone who'll help you win a fantasy title, even if there's an injury because he wouldn't walk into a workhorse role. He's a guy to help fill bye weeks in PPR formats, but not much more

Devontae Booker
RB - (vs . OAK)

332.
Brandon McManus
K - (vs . OAK)
|
|
|
344.
Drew Lock
QB - (vs . OAK)
Joe Flacco isn't going to go down without a fight but that doesn't mean Elway and company won't turn the keys over to Lock at some point this season. This is a run-first offense and there aren't many weapons in the passing game, but any starter is worthwhile in a 2QB league.
