QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Zach Wilson	521.3	331	3779.4	19.81	13.03	51.1	217.2	1.79	236.82
Mike White	36.2	22.4	253.4	1.3	0.94	3.3	6.9	0.07	14.57

Zach Wilson: Selected second overall in the 2021 draft, Wilson may be off the redraft radar outside of two-QB leagues, but his arm talent, mobility and improvisational skills could lead to some streaming potential as a rookie. In addition, Wilson may often find himself in a game script-positive situation for his weekly fantasy outlook. Meanwhile, Robert Saleh has described his preparation and study habits as being "light years ahead of normal rookies."

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Michael Carter	160	680	3.68	26.5	213.7	1.2	131.9
Tevin Coleman	133.3	553.2	2.87	19.4	153.2	0.8	102.36
Ty Johnson	57.8	251.4	1.27	9.4	72.6	0.3	46.52
La'Mical Perine	35.5	143.8	0.83	7.4	52.4	0.3	30.1

Michael Carter: The Jets figure to employ a running back by committee approach and that could frustrate fantasy managers that roster Carter, who should be the 1(a) of that RBBC. The rookie out of UNC averaged 8.0 YPC as a senior and finished his collegiate career with 82 receptions.

Tevin Coleman: Injuries have limited Coleman during his two seasons with the 49ers as he has played only 36% and 6% of the offensive snaps in 2019 and 2020, respectively. That said, he brings with him knowledge of the system and familiarity with the coaches that Robert Saleh brought with him from San Francisco.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Corey Davis	65.4	871.1	4.6	0	0	0	147.41
Elijah Moore	63.6	774.3	3.8	2.2	10.6	0.03	133.27
Jamison Crowder	47.7	536.4	2.6	1.1	5.1	0.01	93.66
Keelan Cole	37.6	473.9	2.4	0	0	0	80.59
Denzel Mims	16.6	242	1.6	0	0	0	42.1
Braxton Berrios	2.3	26.2	0.1	0	0	0	4.37

Corey Davis: Davis had a career-best season in 2020 (65/984/5, 15.1 Y/R). Transitioning to a new offense with a new coaching staff and a rookie quarterback, Davis may be the team's WR1, but it will likely be difficult to improve upon last year's success.

Elijah Moore: Mostly aligning in the slot at Mississippi, Moore, the 34th-overall pick this year, broke A.J. Brown's single-season reception record last season. It would make sense for the Jets to part ways with Jamison Crowder, but Moore has the potential to excel both inside and out.

Jamison Crowder: With the Jets drafting Moore, many expected to the Jets to part ways with Crowder, who has since taken a massive pay cut. In his two seasons with the Jets, Crowder has averaged a receiving line of 4.9/54.7/0.43 on 7.54 targets per game.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Chris Herndon	27.4	302.5	1.7	54.15
Tyler Kroft	23	242	1.3	43.5
Ryan Griffin	4.4	44.4	0.2	7.84
Trevon Wesco	2.7	28.2	0.2	5.37

Chris Herndon: On a positive note, Herndon played a full 16-game season in 2020 after missing virtually all of 2019. That said, he was mostly a non-factor with an average receiving line of 1.9/17.9 and a total of three touchdowns.

Ty Johnson	33.3	144.9	0.73	8.8	70.6	0.3	32.13

Michael Carter: Opening camp with the first-team offense, Carter is the 1(a) option in the backfield even if the offense deploys a committee approach this season. The rookie out of UNC averaged 8.0 YPC as a senior and finished his collegiate career with 82 receptions.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Braxton Berrios	2.3	26.2	0.1	0	0	0	4.37

Jamison Crowder: Crowder took a massive pay cut and perhaps that eventually leads to a trade given that the Jets used an early second-round pick on Elijah Moore. In his two seasons with the Jets, Crowder has averaged 4.9/54.7/0.43 on 7.54 targets per game.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Jimmy Garoppolo	441.7	302.6	3511.5	22.53	12.15	48.3	72.5	0.97	219.35
As productive as they are running the ball, it's no surprise that only the Titans (26.9/G) threw it less often than the 49ers (28.2/G) in 2019. While Garoppolo finished 14th in fantasy points (in large part to his 16-game durability), he was only 22nd on a per-game basis last season.
Nick Mullens	30.7	19.6	230.3	1.44	1.01	5.1	-4.6	0	12.49

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Raheem Mostert	177.8	835.7	7.11	20.6	189.5	1.65	155.08
Mostert was terrific down the stretch, scoring in all but one of his final nine games counting the postseason including a 29/220/4 rushing performance in the NFC Championship Game. Even so, Kyle Shanahan prefers a hot-hand approach at running back and the team still has a crowded backfield room even without Matt Breida, who is now in Miami.
Tevin Coleman	137.2	603.7	4.8	19.5	167.7	1.46	114.7
Since the calendar flipped to December, Coleman had just one game (in eight) with more than six carries -- 22/105/2 rushing against the Vikings in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. While Mostert may be the team's most-productive running back in 2020, Coleman will have his share of big outings with the potential to vastly outperform his current ADP.
Jerick McKinnon	71.1	295.1	1.78	19.2	136.3	0.77	58.44
Expectations are that McKinnon will be third, at best, among the team's running backs in terms of fantasy production. Given the fluid nature of the running back depth chart throughout the season and the production that Kyle Shanahan coaches out of the backfield, McKinnon is worthy of a late-round dart throw in 2020 fantasy drafts.
Kyle Juszczyk	20.3	75.1	0.2	17.1	167.6	0.68	29.55
Jeff Wilson	26.7	105.5	1.07	0.9	7.4	0.04	17.95

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Deebo Samuel	57.7	761.6	4.62	14	123.2	0.77	120.82
Samuel exceeded 100 scrimmage yards in four of his final eight regular-season games and only 12 wide receivers scored more fantasy points per game than he did from Weeks 10-17. Even though the team used a first-round pick on Brandon Aiyuk, Samuel was poised for a major step forward in year two before suffering a Jones fracture in his foot in June. While he has been ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation, it's likely that he's on a snap count early in the season if he's ready for the opener.
Brandon Aiyuk	42.6	549.5	3.2	7.6	51.7	0.23	80.7
Aiyuk averaged nearly double-digit yards after the catch over his career, per PFF. With the league's most creative offensive mind scheming him open, Aiyuk has a chance to surpass rookie expectations similar to how Samuel did last year.
Trent Taylor	27.3	279.8	1.5	0	0	0	36.98
Kendrick Bourne	19.8	233.6	1.98	0	0	0	35.24
Dante Pettis	1.9	20.5	0.11	0	0	0	2.71

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
George Kittle	72.4	977.4	5.79	0	0	0	132.48
Kittle missed a couple of games and his 2019 numbers (85/1,053/5) took a small dip compared to 2018 (88/1,377/5), but it's a two-player tier at the top of the TE position with Kittle and Travis Kelce.
Jordan Reed	25.2	262.1	1.89	0	0	0	37.55
Reed is clearly second fiddle to Kittle and durability is a major concern, especially given his well-documented concussion history. When he's healthy, however, he has difference-making abilities and few coaches will get the most out of him the way his former coach (Shanahan) will.
Ross Dwelley	3.3	27.1	0.3	0	0	0	4.51

Week 2 Fantasy Football: Running Backs Start'em, Sit'em

Ultimately, the decision of which player to start is largely determined by the composition of your roster (as well as your league's settings).

As an example, Dion Lewis is listed below as a "start" for Week 2. And I'd feel comfortable going into Week 2 with him as one of my starting running backs.

That said, he may be a sit for your team.

In other words, if you owned both Todd Gurley, Dalvin Cook and Lewis, you should start Gurley and Cook -- and in turn, bench Lewis.

So while you won't find absolute start-sit recommendations below (use my Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings for that instead), the goal here is to highlight some players that I like (and would feel comfortable starting) as well as some players that I dislike for this week (and would prefer to keep on my bench).

Week 2 Fantasy Football RB Start'em

RB - Adrian Peterson, Washington Redskins (vs. IND)

Turning back the clock, Peterson rushed 26 times for 96 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for 70 yards in the team's Week 1 victory over the Cardinals. Handling two-thirds of the team's running back touches (42) in Week 1, favorable game script could set up Peterson for lots of work in Week 2 as well. Favored by nearly a touchdown at home, Washington is projected to be a top-five scoring team in Week 2 based on implied totals from Vegas odds.

RB - James Conner, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. KC)

Fantasy owners that handcuffed Le'Veon Bell with Conner didn't miss a beat in Week 1. Handling 100 percent of the team's running back touches (36), Conner nearly racked up 200 yards from scrimmage (192) and a pair of touchdowns. With Bell still unsigned, Conner's in line for another massive workload and big day.

It would be unrealistic to expect 200 yards from Conner again, but the Chiefs allowed the duo of Melvin Gordon (166) and Austin Ekeler (126) to rack up 292 YFS last week. In addition, this game has the week's highest over-under and the Steelers are projected to score the most points based in Week 2 Vegas odds.

RB - Tevin Coleman, Atlanta Falcons (vs. CAR)

With Devonta Freeman (knee) ruled out for Week 2, Coleman will assume the lead-back role against the Panthers. In the three games that he has played with Freeman sidelined, Coleman has a total of 57 carries for 250 yards and three touchdowns plus a 15-yard reception. The matchup isn't great as the Panthers ranked third in rushing defense in 2017, but Coleman should approach 20 touches, which makes him a borderline RB1/RB2.

RB - Dion Lewis, Tennessee Titans (vs. HOU)

The duo of Lewis and Derrick Henry handled 100 percent of the team's running back touches in Week 1 and that will be the case most/all weeks. How the opportunities will be allocated to the two backs is less clear, but there could certainly be a hot-hand approach many weeks.

Last week's game against the Dolphins was a little unusual given multiple lengthy in-game delays, but the Titans tried to establish Henry as he handled the first eight opportunities. After that point, however, it was (almost) all Lewis as he handled 21 of the final 24 touches. Lewis finished the game with 110 YFS and a touchdown. This week, I have Lewis ranked as a back-end RB2 and ...

Week 2 Fantasy Football RB Sit'em

RB - Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans (vs. HOU)

... Henry ranked more as a flex option against the Texans. As noted above, Henry managed just 11 touches -- 10 carries for 26 yards and one reception for five yards. It's certainly possible that the Titans try to establish their running game with Henry again, but the team will be without both starting tackles (Taylor Lewan and Jack Conklin). As home underdogs against a tough Texans defense, the Titans are projected to be one of the lowest-scoring teams on this week's slate.

RB - Royce Freeman, Denver Broncos (vs. OAK)

Going into the season, there was some expectation of a committee backfield with Devontae Booker. After Week 1, the committee has grown. Granted, Booker had just four touches, but Phillip Lindsay's workload (a team-high 17 touches) is a concern. Freeman had 15 carries and will likely lead the backfield in touches most weeks, but the team is high on Lindsay and Booker will likely see more than four touches each week. As my RB25 for the week, you can do worse than Freeman, but he's more of a flex option than a must-start this week.

RB - Chris Carson, Seattle Seahawks (at CHI)

On a per-touch basis, Carson had a productive Week 1 -- 7.3 YPC and 9.3 Y/R. That said, Carson got only 10 opportunities -- seven carries for 51 yards and three catches for 28 yards. Even though Pete Carroll said that Carson "really took the lead at that position," first-round rookie Rashaad Penny had more touches (11) than Carson (10). If Carson continues to be more effective than Penny, it's very possible that he is rewarded with a (much) larger workload. But for now, I view Carson more as a flex option heading into Week 2 against the Bears.

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Atlanta Falcons

In addition to viewing our 2018 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2018 fantasy football projections for the Atlanta Falcons.

Quarterbacks

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Matt Ryan	543.8	356.7	4296	25	12	33.2	119.5	0.2	1.5	257.99
Over the past six seasons, Ryan has finished as fantasy's QB7, QB15, QB7, QB17, QB2 and QB15, respectively. (So, perhaps he's due to finish as a top-seven fantasy QB this year?) In the first season with Steve Sarkisian calling the plays, Ryan threw for 4,095 yards, a seven-year low, and 20 touchdowns, a nine-year low. On a positive note, the addition of Calvin Ridley in the first round gives a boost to an already talented group of pass-catchers and I expect better year-over-year numbers.

Devonta Freeman	245.8	1106.1	10.8	45.5	395.9	2.3	1.2	226.4
Missing two-plus games last season, Freeman still managed to finish as the RB13 after much better seasons in 2015 (RB1) and 2016 (RB6). Over the past three seasons, only Todd Gurley (4,599), Le'Veon Bell (4,522) and LeSean McCoy (4,396) have more yards from scrimmage than Freeman (4,357) and his 35 touchdowns are tied with Gurley for the most over that stretch.
Tevin Coleman	141.4	608	5.7	32.3	384.4	3.2	0.8	151.04
Even if he's the 2 to Devonta Freeman in the team's 1-2 rushing attack, Coleman has finished as a top-24 running back and exceeded 900 yards from scrimmage in each of the past two seasons with 19 total touchdowns since 2016.
Ito Smith	17.7	77.9	0.4	1.6	12.8	0	0.1	11.27

Wide Receivers

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Julio Jones	90.2	1470.3	6.9	0	0	0	0.1	188.23
With 1,400-plus yards in each of the past four seasons, Jones has a total of 6,317 receiving yards during that four-year span. Only Antonio Brown (6,349) has more and both have more than 1,200 yards more than DeAndre Hopkins (5,063, third). Only Brown has more catches than Jones over that span. Of course, the problem is that Jones has just 23 touchdowns, tied for 21st in the NFL since 2014, but it's highly unlikely that he scores only three times like last season.
Mohamed Sanu	58.9	636.1	4.7	2.2	8.4	0	0.1	92.45
In his first two seasons with the Falcons, Sanu posted 59/653/4 and 67/703/5 statistical lines in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Barring an injury to Julio Jones, the first-round selection of Calvin Ridley limits the upside above Sanu's recent level of production.
Calvin Ridley	46.2	568.3	3.3	0	0	0	0.2	76.23
Old'ish for a rookie (turns 24 in December), Ridley is neither the biggest (6-1, 189) nor most-explosive athlete (31-inch vertical and 9-foot-2 broad jump), but he's an excellent route-runner with a chance to be the best rookie wideout in re-draft formats.
Justin Hardy	24.5	257.3	2.2	0	0	0	0.1	38.73
Marvin Hall	2.7	40.5	0.3	0	0	0	0	5.85

Over the past six seasons, Ryan has finished as fantasy's QB7, QB15, QB7, QB17, QB2 and QB15, respectively. So, perhaps he's due to finish as a top-seven fantasy QB this year?

Even though I expect better year-over-year numbers, Ryan is unlikely to bounce back to his 2016 MVP-level production.

Running Backs

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Devonta Freeman	245.3	1116.1	10.8	44.5	387.2	2.2	1.2	225.93
Missing two-plus games last season, Freeman still managed to finish as the RB13 after much better seasons in 2015 (RB1) and 2016 (RB6). Over the past three seasons, only Todd Gurley (4,599), Le'Veon Bell (4,522) and LeSean McCoy (4,396) have more yards from scrimmage than Freeman (4,357) and his 35 touchdowns are tied with Gurley for the most over that stretch.
Tevin Coleman	140.2	602.9	5.6	32	380.8	3.2	0.8	149.57
Even if he's the 2 to Freeman in the team's 1-2 rushing attack, Coleman has finished as a top-24 running back and exceeded 900 yards from scrimmage in each of the past two seasons. The contract-year back has scored 19 total touchdowns since 2016.
Ito Smith	11	48.4	0.3	1.6	12.8	0	0.1	7.72

Wide Receivers

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Julio Jones	89.8	1472.7	6.8	0	0	0	0.1	187.87
With 1,400-plus yards in each of the past four seasons, Jones has a total of 6,317 receiving yards during that four-year span. Only Antonio Brown (6,349) has more and both have more than 1,200 yards more than DeAndre Hopkins (5,063, third). Only Brown has more catches than Jones over that span. Of course, the problem is that Jones has just 23 touchdowns, tied for 21st in the NFL since 2014.
Mohamed Sanu	59.4	641.5	4.7	2.2	8.4	0	0.1	92.99
In his first two seasons with the Falcons, Sanu posted 59/653/4 and 67/703/5 statistical lines in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Barring an injury to Julio Jones, the first-round selection of Calvin Ridley limits upside above Sanu's recent level of production.
Calvin Ridley	43.2	527	3	0	0	0	0.2	70.3
Old'ish for a rookie (turns 24 in December), Ridley is neither the biggest (6-1, 189) or most-explosive athlete (31-inch vertical and 9-foot-2 broad jump), but he's an excellent route-runner with a chance to be the best rookie wideout in re-draft formats.
Justin Hardy	24.2	254.1	2.2	0	0	0	0.1	38.41
Marvin Hall	2.8	42	0.3	0	0	0	0	6

In his second season, Hooper posted a 49/526/3 stat line and finished as fantasy's TE18 (TE17 in PPR), but it was all downhill after a 2/128/1 start to the season. Hooper exceeded 40 yards only once in his final nine games.
Logan Paulsen	9.7	81.5	0.5	0	0	0	0.1	10.95

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Atlanta Falcons

Quarterbacks

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Matt Ryan	530	344.5	4108	22.3	11.7	32.3	67.8	0.2	1.5	235.1
Over the past six seasons, Ryan has finished as fantasy's QB7, QB15, QB7, QB17, QB2 and QB15, respectively. So, perhaps he's due to finish as a top-seven fantasy QB this year? In the first season with Steve Sarkisian calling the plays, Ryan threw for 4,095 yards, a seven-year low, and 20 touchdowns, a nine-year low. On a positive note, the addition of Calvin Ridley in the first round gives a boost to an already talented group of pass-catchers. Even though I expect better year-over-year numbers, Ryan is unlikely to bounce back to his 2016 MVP-level production.

Devonta Freeman	240.8	1095.6	10.8	43.7	380.2	2.2	1.2	223.18
Based on current ADP from Fantasy Football Calculator, Freeman is the 13th running back off the board in early fantasy drafts. Missing two-plus games last season, Freeman still managed to finish as the RB13 after much better seasons in 2015 (RB1) and 2016 (RB6). Over the past three seasons, only Todd Gurley (4,599), Le'Veon Bell (4,522) and LeSean McCoy (4,396) have more yards from scrimmage than Freeman (4,357) and his 35 touchdowns are tied with Gurley for the most over that stretch.
