| Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | From the time Drake joined the Cardinals last year, he was the No. 4 running back in fantasy football. One thing from that stretch that is unsustainable is his touchdown production, as he scored eight rushing touchdowns on just 123 carries. He still averaged 101.8 total yards per game, but there were three games where he totaled less than 70 total yards. It was a mixed bag against this 49ers defense, as he absolutely demolished them in their first game, racking up 162 total yards and a touchdown. That was one of just two games where the 49ers allowed a running back to crack the 20-point barrier in PPR formats (the other was Christian McCaffrey). In fact, there were just three backs who reached 100-plus total yards against them. The next meeting between the two, Drake finished with 80 total yards and no touchdown. The 49ers did trade away DeForest Buckner, who was a a big reason for their success up the middle of the field, even if he was a better pass rusher than anything. They drafted his replacement in Javon Kinlaw, but he's a rookie with no experience. But again, knowing there were just eight running backs who finished better than the RB24 against the 49ers, we know it's not a great matchup. Drake should still net 15-plus touches in this game and be treated as a decent RB2. | Hunt should be an interesting play this week, as the Browns are heavy underdogs in this game. His splits in wins/losses weren't nearly as bad as Chubb's. Still, you worry about the potential lack of plays for the Browns offense this week, as Stefanski averaged just 60.4 plays per game in Minnesota last year, combined with the Ravens opponents averaging just 57.6 plays per game. It seems somewhat unlikely that Hunt winds up with more than 10-12 touches this week, and it's not a great matchup against a defense that allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points in 2019. Because of that, Hunt should be considered a somewhat low-upside RB3/flex play. |
| Isaiah Sirois FantasyPros | The BettingPros consensus odds have the Ravens favored by 7.5 points, and that means we can expect the Browns to pass frequently on Sunday. Hunt should be a prime beneficiary of Cleveland's negative game script, and I'd look for him to get plenty of volume out of the backfield and the slot. He should reward his drafters with a low-end RB2 performance this weekend. | |
| Jacob Wayne Lineups | Kenyan Drake has been one of my favorite late first-round running back targets all offseason, but the 49ers' defense is going to make life very difficult for him in Week 1. Despite losing DeForest Buckner, the Niners still feature Nick Bosa, Arik Armstead, Dee Ford, and Javon Kinlaw on the D-line. The Cardinals' offensive line should be improved but still projects to be pretty average. This could end up Drake's lowest scoring week on the season, but he's still a fine RB2 for your lineup. | In what should be a matchup that forces the Browns to throw the ball more than they might like, I love Kareem Hunt as a high-upside flex option. He is a superstar athlete and can produce big numbers with a limited workload. He's also the better pass-catcher than Chubb, and if the Browns fall behind in this game Hunt should see a ton of playing time. Hunt may even play out of the slot at times this season, a role that would offer tremendous fantasy value. |
| Kyle Yates FantasyPros | Drake exploded onto the scene last season after the trade to Arizona and he seems poised to have another solid year. However, we might have to wait a week to see him finish within the top-10 at the RB position. This 49ers run defense is no joke and they're going to be able to overpower this average offensive line, which is going to make things difficult on Drake all game long. If Drake manages to score, you'll be happy you started him. Otherwise, it's important to temper your expectations with the elusive RB. Drake's a fine RB2 for your lineup this week. | |
| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Drake had 31rushing attempts for 177 yards and 1 touchdown in 2 games against the 49ers last year. He also added 11 receptions for 65 yards. Even against a tough 49ers D, Drake should be a low-end RB1. | |
