QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Zach Wilson	521.3	331	3779.4	19.55	13.03	51.1	217.2	1.79	235.78
James Morgan	36.2	22.4	257	1.3	0.94	3.3	6.9	0.07	14.71

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 fantasy outlook.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Michael Carter	177.7	755.2	4.09	26.5	232.1	1.2	143.72
Tevin Coleman	131.1	544.1	2.82	19.4	161.5	0.8	101.98
La'Mical Perine	44.4	179.8	1	8	60.5	0.3	35.83
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.

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	62.7	839.6	4.4	0	0	0	141.71
Elijah Moore	63.6	768.9	3.8	2.2	10.6	0.03	132.73
Jamison Crowder	49.5	544.9	2.7	1.1	5.1	0.01	96.01
Keelan Cole	37.6	464.2	2.3	0	0	0	79.02
Denzel Mims	17.5	252.3	1.6	0	0	0	43.58
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 build 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: 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.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Chris Herndon	27.4	302.7	1.7	0	0	0	54.17
Tyler Kroft	22.1	232.1	1.3	0	0	0	42.06
Ryan Griffin	5.3	50.5	0.2	0	0	0	8.9
Trevon Wesco	2.7	30.3	0.2	0	0	0	5.58

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.

Buffalo Bills 2019 Fantasy Football Projections

In addition to viewing our 2019 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2019 fantasy football projections for the Buffalo Bills.

 

QUARTERBACKS

 

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Josh Allen	494.2	282.9	3484.1	19.03	15.81	96.2	519.5	5.39	268.15
Returning from injury after Buffalo's Week 11 bye, Allen failed to exceed 231 passing yards in the final six games of the season, completed just 51.9 percent of his pass attempts during that span while throwing seven interceptions. That said, no quarterback scored more fantasy points than Allen (24.2/G) from Week 12 on although Houston's Deshaun Watson (24.1/G) was close. The rookie quarterback averaged 12.93 fantasy points per game from his rushing stats alone -- 54/576/5 and four 95-yard games - over that six-week stretch. A high-upside QB2 in season-long formats, Allen will have even more appeal in best-ball leagues and DFS tournaments.
Matt Barkley	12.7	7.6	91.4	0.43	0.38	1.2	-0.6	0	4.56

RUNNING BACKS

 

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
LeSean McCoy	147.3	559.7	4.05	23.8	171.4	0.48	100.29
After the NFL Draft, GM Brandon Beane said that McCoy is "still here" and "the starter." Inefficient with a career-low 3.2 yards per carry, the 31-year-old (in July) finished second on the team in rushing behind rookie quarterback Josh Allen and tied his career low in touches (195, 2009). Even if he's still there in Week 1, the Bills seem ready to employ a committee approach with McCoy, Frank Gore and rookie Devin Singletary. I currently project Shady to get 10-12 touches per game.
Frank Gore	106.9	406.2	2.14	9.5	78.9	0.48	64.23
Playing for his third team in three years and now 36 years old, the next time that Gore averages single-digit touches per game will be his first. Perhaps that first time is this year, but he's likely to be involved enough to limit the upside of the team's other (rather uninspiring) backfield options.
T.J. Yeldon	48.7	199.7	0.61	31.5	236.3	1.89	58.6
With a pair of 30-somethings ahead of him (and a rookie) on the depth chart, it's certainly possible that Yeldon has a few weeks where he becomes very fantasy-relevant. Better in full PPR formats, Yeldon set a career high with 55 catches last season and now has at least 30 in all four of his NFL seasons.
Devin Singletary	57	228	1.14	15.1	113.3	0.45	43.67
The Bills used a top-75 pick on Singletary, the RB5 in the 2019 NFL Draft, but the highly-productive former Owl could make more of a fantasy impact in 2020 than this year.
Patrick DiMarco	1.2	4.2	0.06	2.9	29	0.15	4.58
Marcus Murphy	3.6	16.2	0.04	0.8	5.2	0	2.38

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Robert Foster	40.9	691.2	4.09	0	0	0	93.66
A big play waiting to happen, Foster had at least 50 receiving yards and/or a touchdown in six of his final seven games last season. In fact, he had three 100-yard games over that stretch and was one of just nine players to do during that span. Even with the free-agent additions of Cole Beasley and John Brown, I like Foster as much as any Bills receiver (especially in non-PPR formats) heading into 2019.
John Brown	36.5	576.7	3.56	7.1	42.6	0.28	84.97
Playing a full 2018 season, Brown finished with 42/715/5 (17.0 Y/R) in Baltimore. Going from one run-first attack to another, however, Brown is likely to be consistently inconsistent. The pairing of his speed with Josh Allen's cannon of an arm could lead to the occasional monster week, but knowing when to take advantage of those boom outings while avoiding bust weeks will be difficult to do with any confidence.
Cole Beasley	57.6	593.3	3.46	0	0	0	80.09
The good news is I have Beasley projected to lead the Bills in receptions. The bad news is he has limited fantasy usefulness outside of deep(ish) PPR leagues. Exceeding 675 receiving yards only once (2016) in his career, Beasley may once again fall short of that threshold in Buffalo's run-first offense.
Zay Jones	39.7	456.6	3.18	0	0	0	64.74
By a wide margin, Jones led the Bills in targets (102, next closest: 62) and receptions (56, next closest: 34) in addition to leading the team in receiving yards (652) and touchdowns (seven). Going into his third season, however, Jones has little to no chance to repeat that level of production as I have him projected to finish fourth on the team in receiving yards.
Isaiah McKenzie	3.7	36.3	0.15	4.8	26.4	0.24	8.61
David Sills	2.2	23.8	0.17	0	0	0	3.4
Andre Roberts	1.3	15	0.07	0	0	0	1.92

TIGHT ENDS

 

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tyler Kroft	19	174.8	1.9	0	0	0	28.88
The Bills gave Kroft a three-year, $18.75 million deal in March, but the free-agent addition broke his foot on the first day of OTAs. At this point, it's possible that he's not ready for the start of the season.
Dawson Knox	14.6	182.5	1.17	0	0	0	25.27
It's difficult for rookie tight ends to make significant fantasy contributions, but Knox is a plus athlete that could turn out to be a much better pro than he was a college player. Perhaps it's not until 2020 (or beyond) that Knox becomes fantasy-relevant, but he has elicited plenty of praise in the offseason and built good rapport with Josh Allen.
Jason Croom	12.8	147.2	0.9	0	0	0	20.12
Lee Smith	7.6	53.2	0.91	0	0	0	10.78

Quarterbacks

 

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Andy Dalton	511.8	314.2	3634	24.1	12.8	41.5	120.4	1.9	3.5	232.6
Many of Dalton's 2017 numbers were the lowest of his career or since his rookie season -- completion percentage (59.9), Y/A (6.7), YPG (207.5) and number of 300-yard games (one). If Tyler Eifert and John Ross are healthy, however, Dalton could perform as a high-end QB2 with Bill Lazor having a full offseason to install his offense. (In fact, Dalton has finished as the QB18 -- or better -- every season of his career.)

Running Backs

Joe Mixon	244.9	1077.6	9.6	35.8	340.1	0.9	2.2	200.37
Down to 218 pounds, Mixon is poised for bigger things in his sophomore campaign. The versatile back averaged just 3.5 yards per carry last season behind one of the league's worst offensive lines, but offseason upgrades at left tackle and center should help.
Giovani Bernard	85.3	366.8	2.4	45.6	410.4	1.8	0.2	102.52
Mixon missed a couple of December games, but Bernard was highly productive down the stretch. Gio had 507 YFS, averaged 4.75 YPC with 24 receptions and two scores across five December games. Still drafted outside the top-50 running backs (via FFC), Gio offers late-round value as a back that could return flex value.
Mark Walton	20.5	91.2	0.5	8.9	75.7	0.3	0.1	21.29

Wide Receivers

 

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
A.J. Green	80.8	1183.7	8.3	0	0	0	1.3	165.57
After missing three-plus games in two of the previous three seasons, Green played a full 16-game slate and posted a 75/1,078/8 stat line in 2017. Aside from 2016 (career-high 96.4 YPG but six missed games), Green has exceeded the 1,000-yard mark in his other six NFL seasons.
John Ross	33.6	554.4	3.4	0	0	0	0.1	75.64
Held without a catch in his three NFL games, Ross had one carry for 12 yards and a lost fumble as a rookie. Injuries played a major part to his disappointing season, but he says that he feels the healthiest he's been since college. Especially considering the team released Brandon LaFell, there is the opportunity for Ross to make a meaningful second-year impact.
Tyler Boyd	45.3	489.2	2	0	0	0	0.2	60.52
A sprained MCL cost Boyd more than a month last season, but he had 10 of his 22 catches in the final two weeks of the season. At a minimum, Boyd will start in the slot for three-WR sets.
Josh Malone	25.7	287.8	2.6	0	0	0	0	44.38
Alex Erickson	5	63.5	0.2	2.8	9.8	0	0.5	8.73

Andy Dalton	511.8	314.2	3634	24.1	12.8	41.5	120.4	1.9	3.5	232.6
The Bengals fired OC Ken Zampese after a pair of shutouts and Dalton expects a more "aggressive" offense from Bill Lazor, now that he has a chance to install his offense this offseason. Many of Dalton's numbers were the lowest of his career or since his rookie season -- completion percentage (59.9), Y/A (6.7), YPG (207.5) and number of 300-yard games (one). If Tyler Eifert and John Ross can stay healthy, Dalton could be a high-end QB2. (In fact, Dalton has finished as the QB18 (or better) every season of his career.)

Joe Mixon	229.1	1008	8.9	34.5	327.8	0.7	2.2	186.78
Now a "svelte" 225 pounds (compared to 238 last rookie minicamp), Mixon is poised for bigger things in his sophomore campaign. The versatile back averaged just 3.5 yards per carry last season behind one of the league's worst offensive lines, but the trade for Cordy Glenn and first-round selection of Billy Price give the line two big upgrades.
Giovani Bernard	94.8	402.9	2.4	45.6	410.4	1.6	0.2	104.93
Mixon missed some time, but Bernard was highly productive down the stretch. In five December games, Bernard had 507 YFS, averaged 4.75 YPC with 24 receptions and two scores. Currently drafted outside the top-50 running backs (via FFC), Gio offers late-round value as a back that could return flex value.

A.J. Green	82	1201.3	8.4	0	0	0	1.3	167.93
After missing three-plus games in two of the previous three seasons, Green played a full 16-game slate and posted a 75/1,078/8 stat line in 2017. Aside from 2016 (career-high 96.4 YPG but six missed games), Green has exceeded the 1,000-yard mark in his other six NFL seasons.
Brandon LaFell	42.7	516.7	3.2	0	0	0	0.1	70.67
LaFell had 52 catches for 548 yards and three touchdowns in 2017, but that's probably best-case scenario for 2018. After top-10 pick John Ross did nothing (zero catches) as a rookie, more has to be expected from him in 2018.
John Ross	22.8	376.2	2.3	0	0	0	0.1	51.22
Held without a catch in his three NFL games, Ross had one carry for 12 yards and a lost fumble as a rookie. Injuries played a major part to his disappointing season, but he says that he feels the healthiest he's been since college.
Tyler Boyd	33.9	366.1	1.5	0	0	0	0.2	45.21
A sprained MCL cost Boyd more than a month last season, but he had 10 of his 22 catches in the final two weeks of the season. That said, the only Bengals wide receiver I'd want to own outside of deep(er) leagues is Green.

Over the past four seasons, Eifert has nearly as many touchdowns (18) as games played (24). Durability has been (and still is) the obvious concern, but upside for double-digit scores is a legitimate possibility if he can stay/get healthy.
Tyler Kroft	14.8	145	1.8	0	0	0	0	25.3
C.J. Uzomah	4.7	42.8	0.3	0	0	0	0	6.08

2018 Fantasy Football Projections: Cincinnati Bengals

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 Cincinnati Bengals.

Quarterbacks

 

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Andy Dalton	511.8	313.2	3531	24.1	12.8	43.5	126.2	2	3.5	229.66
The Bengals fired OC Ken Zampese after a pair of shutouts and Dalton expects a more "aggressive" offense from Bill Lazor, now that he has a chance to install his offense this offseason. Many of Dalton's numbers were the lowest of his career or since his rookie season -- completion percentage (59.9), Y/A (6.7), YPG (207.5) and number of 300-yard games (one). If Tyler Eifert and John Ross can stay healthy, Dalton could be a high-end QB2. (In fact, Dalton has finished as the QB18 (or better) every season of his career.)
Matt Barkley	5.2	3.1	34	0.2	0.4	0	0	0	0	1.36

Running Backs

 

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Joe Mixon	223.2	982.1	8.7	34.9	331.6	0.7	2.2	183.37
Now a "svelte" 225 pounds (compared to 238 last rookie minicamp), Mixon is poised for bigger things in his sophomore campaign. The versatile back averaged just 3.5 yards per carry last season behind one of the league's worst offensive lines, but the trade for Cordy Glenn and first-round selection of Billy Price give the line two big upgrades.
Giovani Bernard	98.8	419.9	2.5	45.6	410.4	1.6	0.2	107.23
Mixon missed some time, but Bernard was highly productive down the stretch. In five December games, Bernard had 507 YFS, averaged 4.75 YPC with 24 receptions and two scores. Currently drafted outside the top-50 running backs (via FFC), Gio offers late-round value as a back that could return flex value.
Mark Walton	23.7	101.9	0.6	7.7	65.5	0.2	0.1	21.34
Brian Hill	4	14	0.1	2.2	19.8	0	0	3.98
Ryan Hewitt	0	0	0	1.9	14.3	0.1	0	2.03

Wide Receivers

 

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
A.J. Green	76.6	1122.2	7.8	0	0	0	1.3	156.42
After missing three-plus games in two of the previous three seasons, Green played a full 16-game slate and posted a 75/1,078/8 stat line in 2017. Aside from 2016 (career-high 96.4 YPG but six missed games), Green has exceeded the 1,000-yard mark in his other six NFL seasons.
Brandon LaFell	42.7	516.7	3.2	0	0	0	0.1	70.67
LaFell had 52 catches for 548 yards and three touchdowns in 2017, but that's probably best-case scenario for 2018. After top-10 pick John Ross did nothing (zero catches) as a rookie, more has to be expected from him in 2018.
John Ross	22.8	376.2	2.3	0	0	0	0.1	51.22
Held without a catch in his three NFL games, Ross had one carry for 12 yards and a lost fumble as a rookie. Injuries played a major part to his disappointing season, but he says that he feels the healthiest he's been since college.
Tyler Boyd	33.9	366.1	1.5	0	0	0	0.2	45.21
A sprained MCL cost Boyd more than a month last season, but he had 10 of his 22 catches in the final two weeks of the season. That said, the only Bengals wide receiver I'd want to own outside of deep leagues is Green.
Alex Erickson	7	88.9	0.3	2.8	9.8	0	0.5	11.87
Josh Malone	6.2	69.4	0.6	0	0	0	0	10.54
Auden Tate	1.9	23.2	0.2	0	0	0	0	3.52
Cody Core	1.6	19	0.1	0	0	0	0	2.5

Tight Ends

 

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	FL	Points
Tyler Eifert	41	492	5.7	0	0	0	0.1	83.2
Over the past four seasons, Eifert has nearly as many touchdowns (18) as games played (24). Durability is the obvious concern, but if (a massive if) he can stay healthy, upside for double-digit scores is a legitimate possibility.
Tyler Kroft	14.5	142.1	1.7	0	0	0	0	24.41
C.J. Uzomah	3.6	32.8	0.2	0	0	0	0	4.48
