QUARTERBACKS

Jordan Love543.1344.93937.522.2715.4855.8181.41.67243.78
Sean Clifford34.721.5239.41.320.875.612.60.0614.74

Jordan Love: Both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers created (what many would describe as unnecessary) drama towards the tail end of their Packer tenures, but they also provided the franchise with tremendous stability at the position for three decades. Packers coach Matt LaFleur has talked up Love's "complete command" of Green Bay's offense, but growing pains should be expected as the franchise transitions to its next era. The team loaded up on several Day 2 pass catchers (Luke Musgrave, Jayden Reed, Tucker Kraft, etc.) in the draft to help support his long-term growth.

RUNNING BACKS

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Aaron Jones178.58304.9152.8409.32.8196.59
A.J. Dillon163.6703.54.9133254.81.1148.39
Emanuel Wilson33.5144.10.841.612.50.122.1

Aaron Jones: Before last season, Jones had three consecutive seasons with double-digit touchdowns. That said, he set career highs in rushing yards (1,121) and receptions (59) in 2022. Transitioning from Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love adds some uncertainty, but Jones has 47-plus receptions in four consecutive seasons and 1,459-plus YFS in three of his past four seasons. Jones is undervalued heading into the 2023 season.

A.J. Dillon: Whether fantasy managers roster Jones or not, Dillon has stand-alone fantasy value and has finished as a top-30 fantasy running back in back-to-back seasons. During that span, Dillon has 435 touches including 62 receptions on 80 targets for 2,092 yards from scrimmage and 14 total touchdowns.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Christian Watson71.1996.25.77.156.80.57178.47

Samori Toure9121.10.700020.81
Malik Heath3.339.70.20006.82

Christian Watson: Watson missed three of the team's first nine games, and he played more than one-third of the team's offensive snaps in only one game (Week 1) during that stretch. From Weeks 10-18, however, Watson racked up 31/523/7 on 52 targets over eight games and added 61 rushing yards and a score. He was fantasy's WR7 during that span.

Romeo Doubs: Doubs missed four games in 2022, but the fourth-rounder finished his rookie season with 42 catches for 425 yards and three touchdowns. As he competes with second-round rookie Jayden Reed for targets behind Watson, Doubs has the upside to outperform his current ADP.

TIGHT ENDS

Luke Musgrave36.6415.62.300073.66
Tucker Kraft23.4261.11.500046.81
Josiah Deguara10.3102.30.600018.98

Luke Musgrave: With Robert Tonyan now in Chicago, it will be a pair of rookie tight ends — Musgrave and Tucker Kraft — that top the depth chart. Musgrave is an extremely athletic tight end that can be used to create mismatches against linebackers and safeties.

Jacksonville Jaguars 2023 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 5.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2023 NFL Draft, we will update our Jacksonville Jaguars Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Jacksonville Jaguars from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Jaguars:

NFL.com - Daniel Jeremiah (2/21)

24. Bryan Bresee, IDL, Clemson

Bresee battled through adversity at Clemson. I believe the former No. 1 overall recruit's best football is still ahead of him.

USA Today - Nate Davis (2/20)

24. Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah

The Jags' top three tight ends are unsigned. Kincaid, an All-Pac-12 player (70 catches, 890 yards, 8 TDs) in 2022, might be better than all of them and would give QB Trevor Lawrence another dangerous weapon for an ascending offense.

CBS Sports - Ryan Wilson (2/20)

24. Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State

Musgrave was getting some late-first/early Day-2 buzz down in Mobile, and while he didn't have a great week, it was certainly easy to see why teams like him. He missed most of '22 with an injury but he's well built, long, and has the athleticism to consistently separate from both safeties and linebackers. His blocking is a work in progress but he'll be a contributor in the passing game from Day 1.

The Draft Network - Keith Sanchez (2/20)

25. Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina

The Jaguars were one of the surprise teams of the 2022 season. With the opportunity to continue to build, I believe that they need to simply continue to add talented players regardless of their position. Cam Smith is a versatile cover that can play man or zone and is very competitive—just the type of player that the Jaguars need to solidify this upward trend as an organization.

SI - Kevin Hanson (2/17)

24. Dalton Kincaid, TE, Utah

Evan Engram set career highs in receptions (73) and yards (766) in his first season with the Jaguars. Both sides want Engram to be back, but will they be able to make it work financially? Based on effective cap space from Over the Cap, the Jaguars are projected to be nearly $23 million over the cap. In terms of being used as a weapon in the passing game, Kincaid is as talented as any tight end in this class.

The Athletic - CFB Writers (2/17)

24. Michael Mayer, TE, Notre Dame

There's no such thing as giving Trevor Lawrence too many weapons as the Jaguars continue to build after being one of the best stories in the NFL last season. The ever-versatile Mayer is arguably the best tight end in this class and gives Jacksonville both a strong blocker and a dangerous pass catcher. If Evan Engram returns to Jacksonville, the Jags will have an elite one-two punch at the position. But if the Jaguars lose Engram to free agency, Mayer gives them a nice insurance policy.

ESPN - Todd McShay (2/15)

24. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR, Ohio State

The Jaguars' pass game took a huge step forward in Trevor Lawrence's second season. The Christian Kirk signing paid off, and Calvin Ridley -- acquired at the deadline -- should be a factor next season once he returns from suspension. But Lawrence probably still needs another pass-catcher, especially because tight end Evan Engram is a free agent and we can't be sure what Ridley will bring after missing more than a year.

Smith-Njigba is a tough evaluation. He caught 15 passes for 347 yards and three TDs in the 2021 season's Rose Bowl, capping off a 1,606-yard campaign. But he had two catches in that game that were longer than his total yardage for the entire 2022 season (43), as a nagging hamstring injury limited him to five catches over three contests. JSN displays soft hands, precise route running and good after-the-catch ability, and he could be a steal for Jacksonville if he falls here.

San Diego Union Tribune - Eddie Brown (2/15)

25. Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia

The Jaguars' defense has had its moments this season, but is still short a few pieces. As a red-shirt sophomore, Ringo's size/speed combination is still developing, but the former five-star recruit will compete to be the first cornerback selected solely based on his talent and potential.

NFL.com - Chad Reuter (2/13)

24. Cam Smith, CB, South Carolina

Smith's a tough-minded corner who does not back down from SEC receivers and makes plays on the ball, which is the type of defender the Jaguars need opposite Tyson Campbell.

Kansas City Chiefs 2023 NFL Mock Draft Roundup 3.0

Throughout the year and leading up to the 2023 NFL Draft, we will update our Kansas City Chiefs Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Kansas City Chiefs from several prominent sites and draft analysts.

The following are picks in recent mock drafts for the Chiefs:

CBS Sports - Stackpole (1/13)

31. Matthew Bergeron, OT, Syracuse

After failing to reach a long-term deal last summer, the Chiefs franchised tagged Orlando Brown Jr.. If they're not willing to make him the league's highest-paid offensive tackle, they could look to replace him with the versatile and experienced Matthew Bergeron.

San Diego Union Tribune - Brown (1/12)

30. Will McDonald IV, EDGE, Iowa State

Chris Jones is essentially the Chiefs' pass rush. McDonald has been highly productive for the Cyclones — he has at least five sacks in four straight seasons and double-digit sacks in two of the last three — despite playing out of position for most of his collegiate career. He's an explosive, instinctive pass rusher, who I anticipate will see a boost in his draft stock after the Senior Bowl.

NBC Sports Chicago - Morgan (1/12)

31. Jaelyn Duncan, OT, Maryland

Duncan is a fifth-year senior who flashes a ton of ability and athleticism, but needs to become more consistent, especially in pass protection sets. A proportionally long-limbed athlete (6-foot-6, 320 pounds), Duncan competitively establishes leverage by extending his lengthy arms and maintaining his balance with adequate knee flexibility. Duncan will get the chance to improve his draft status after receiving an invite to this year's Senior Bowl.

Yahoo! Sports - McDonald (1/11)

30. Josh Downs, WR, North Carolina

The Chiefs need another talented, cheaper contract at wide receiver. Downs can provide that along with Kadarius Toney as the Chiefs continue to figure out what their future looks like at the position.

Walter Football (1/11)

30. Jalin Hyatt, WR, Tennessee

The Chiefs could target a first-round receiver next April, given their huge need at the position.

Jalin Hyatt had a great season with lots of big plays for Tennessee.

CBS Sports - Trapasso (1/11)

31. Siaki Ika, IDL, Baylor

The Chiefs get a menacing, wide-bodied interior rusher to pair with Chris Jones.

USA Today - MMS (1/10)

30. Nolan Smith, EDGE, Georgia

First-round rookie defensive end George Karlaftis notched 5 1/2 sacks in his final seven games, but there's always room for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo to build out his pass rush. So long as Smith's recovery from a season-ending torn pectoral muscle is on track, the 6-3, 235-pounder should be an enticing option for any team willing to be creative with his deployment.

Bleacher Report (1/9)

30. Isaiah Foskey, EDGE, Notre Dame

Back-to-back first-round edge-rushers for the Kansas City Chiefs may be considered going overboard by the organization. However, the progression of the roster is dependent on finding capable pass-rushers to maximize the Chiefs' defensive effectiveness.

"The Chiefs have the opposite problem as their AFC West rival, the Las Vegas Raiders," Holder noticed. "Unlike Las Vegas that has Maxx Crosby working off the edge with little-to-no help at defensive tackle, Kansas City has a great interior pass-rusher in Chris Jones but the Chiefs have struggled to get edge pressure.

"Frank Clark has underproduced over the last few years and the Chiefs can gain $19.6 million in cap relief by cutting the defensive end. By pairing Notre Dame's Isaiah Foskey with George Karlaftis, the duo can provide great support to Jones."

Foskey leaves Notre Dame as the Fighting Irish's all-time leader in sacks. While the statistic doesn't date back to the program's glory days, it's an an impressive accomplishment nonetheless.

The added benefit of landing another quality edge presence is the fact Kansas City has the caliber of offense to consistently play with the lead, which will allows these defenders to pin back their ears and get after opposing quarterbacks.

The 33rd Team (1/9)

31. Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma

Both of the Chiefs' starting tackles are scheduled to be free agents and their play was less than elite this year. They need invest in protection for quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

PFF - Renner (1/9)

31. Luke Musgrave, TE, Oregon State

As hard as it may be to believe, Travis Kelce is going to be 34 years old next season. At some point, his play has to drop off. And athletes like Musgrave don't come along every draft class. He'll get to learn from the best to ever do it while also allowing the Chiefs to deploy a unique 12 personnel look.
