Los Angeles Chargers 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 Los Angeles Chargers.

 

QUARTERBACKS

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Philip Rivers546.8366.44456.430.0713.1216.718.40.08274.62
Rivers has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in nine of the past 11 seasons. On the other hand, he has finished outside the top 10 in four of the past five. While I currently have Rivers projected to finish top 10 in the league in both passing yards and passing touchdowns, his virtual non-existent rushing production (five scoreless yards in his past 32 games) means that he's outside my top 15 fantasy quarterbacks for the 2019 NFL season.

RUNNING BACKS

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Melvin Gordon243.81048.310.3658527.82.9237.17
Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Gordon has now missed multiple games in three of his four NFL seasons. MG3's YPC average spiked to 5.1 in 2018 and he set a career high in touchdowns (14). After a scoreless rookie campaign, Gordon has finished with 12-plus touchdowns in three consecutive seasons. Only Todd Gurley averaged more fantasy points per game than Gordon last season (standard scoring) so there is plenty of upside from his current rankings, projections and ADP if he's able to stay healthy for a full season.
Austin Ekeler101494.93.2836.8360.62.94122.87
Once again, Ekeler averaged more than five yards per carry and 10 yards per reception. But as he nearly doubled his workload (74 to 145 touches), MG3's complementary back finished as the RB27 (RB25 in PPR) last season. Given Gordon's injury history, there is a better chance than not that Ekeler will get an opportunity to make a start or two, but he has stand-alone value even if Gordon stays healthy.
Justin Jackson31.3131.51.16.449.90.1925.88
Derek Watt5.216.60.051.211.60.013.18

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Keenan Allen98.61212.86.666.347.90.06166.39
Playing full 16-game slates in back-to-back years, Allen saw his numbers dip year-over-year, but he still put up a healthy 97/1,196/6 stat line (WR14, WR12 in PPR). A top-15 fantasy wide receiver in any format, Allen is about as steady and consistent as it gets.
Mike Williams54.7804.16.564.218.90.08122.14
Williams had a breakout second season as he hauled in 10 touchdowns in 2018. While I expect a drop in his red zone production with the return of a healthy Hunter Henry, the departure of Tyrell Williams to the Raiders should lead to a bump in targets, receptions and yards for the third-year receiver.
Travis Benjamin28.3435.82.265.231.20.0560.56
Losing Williams in free agency will open up a few more looks for Benjamin, but it's difficult to trust his week-to-week consistency. Benjamin is better as a late-round flier in best-ball formats as it would be nearly impossible to know which weeks to start him in season-long formats.
Dylan Cantrell13.5153.90.7400019.83

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Hunter Henry57.17286.85000113.9
Before missing the 2018 regular season with an ACL injury, Henry ranked sixth (eighth in PPR) in fantasy points per game among tight ends in 2017. Returning for limited action in the playoffs, Henry will be fully healthy for the start of the 2019 season and only Travis Kelce, Zach Ertz, George Kittle and O.J. Howard are ahead of him in my early 2019 rankings.

Los Angeles Rams 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 Los Angeles Rams.


QUARTERBACKS

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Jared Goff573.6372.84732.232.1212.6241.8104.51.25310.48
Outperforming his ADP in each of his first two seasons in Sean McVay's offense, Goff currently sits as fantasy's QB11 in terms of Fantasy Football ADP. Last year, he entered the season with an ADP of QB16 and finished as fantasy's QB7. The year before that, Goff was outside the top-24 fantasy QBs in ADP yet finished as a top-12 quarterback. With such a talented trio of wide receivers, it wouldn't be a surprise if Goff finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback and outperformed his ADP once again.
Blake Bortles5.83.643.50.230.161.25.40.023

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Todd Gurley247.4113812.3745.5432.32.28244.93
Last year, Gurley was the no-brainer No. 1 pick in fantasy drafts and he delivered. Even though he missed two games, no running back scored more fantasy points than Gurley, who has 3,924 scrimmage yards and 40 total touchdowns over the past two seasons combined.

Going into 2019, however, there is concern (perhaps less by Gurley himself) over his knee and specifically what it means to the workload he will get (or not get).
Darrell Henderson92.9418.12.7922.3187.3183.28
Les Snead talked about Henderson giving the Rams a "Kamara element." While expecting an Alvin Kamara-type rookie season from Henderson is perhaps too lofty of an expectation, the team obviously likes Henderson a lot to make him a top-70 pick and make that comparison. Given the uncertainty around Gurley's knee, could Henderson have a couple C.J. Anderson-like games down the stretch?

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Brandin Cooks82.312185.7610.560.90.63166.23
Arguably, no team has a better trio of wide receivers than the Rams and their presence helps and perhaps hurts each other in terms of fantasy production. Even if they would individually see a larger share of targets in a different situation, the trio maximizes their opportunities in L.A.'s high-octane offense. No longer with Drew Brees (2017) or Tom Brady (2018), Cooks didn't miss a beat in 2019 with Jared Goff as he had 80 catches for a career-high 1,204 yards and five touchdowns in his first season with the Rams.
Robert Woods82.91119.25.813.9105.60.7161.48
Woods led the Rams in targets (130), receptions (86), receiving yards (1,219) and receiving touchdowns (six) last season. Whether he leads the team in those categories or not again in 2019, Woods, Cooks and Cooper Kupp are all excellent options as a fantasy team's WR2.
Cooper Kupp65890.56.510.5630.21135.61
Off to a great start, Kupp (knee) had 30 catches for 438 yards and five touchdowns in his first five games of the season. He suffered a knee injury the following week, only to eventually return for a couple more weeks before tearing his ACL. Kupp appears to be on track for a Week 1 return from his ACL injury, but the second-year wide receiver had the second-most fantasy points behind Minnesota's Adam Thielen over the five-week healthy span last season.
Josh Reynolds20.6271.92.471.25.40.0142.61
KhaDarel Hodge1.110.10.040001.25

TIGHT ENDS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Gerald Everett37.4426.43.3700062.86
The problem with Everett (or Tyler Higbee) is that the team has four weapons -- Todd Gurley and their trio of wide receivers -- ahead of the tight ends in the team's offensive pecking order. So, at best, Everett is the team's No. 5 option in most weeks. ESPN's Lindsay Thiry recently wrote that "Everett was a clear standout as a target" for Goff and McVay said "[t]he game is slowing down for him."

Dallas Cowboys 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 Dallas Cowboys.

 

QUARTERBACKS

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Dak Prescott546.8363.64155.724.889.8468.9320.45308.11
The next time that Prescott finishes outside the top-12 fantasy quarterbacks will be his first. Through his first three NFL seasons, Prescott has finished as fantasy's QB6, QB11 and QB10, respectively. In the team's run-first offense, Prescott threw it 526 times in 2018 for 3,885 yards, both of which were career highs, and the presence of Amari Cooper gives Prescott a legitimate weapon in the passing game. Consistent with 22 or 23 passing touchdowns each season, Prescott has rushed for exactly six scores each season and 944 rushing yards over his three seasons.

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Ezekiel Elliott306.51394.69.274.4580.32.98270.57
Elliott has two rushing titles in his three NFL seasons, but he has actually led the NFL in rushing yards per game every year since he's been in the league. His role in the passing game expanded greatly in 2018 as he converted his 95 targets into 77 receptions for 567 yards and three touchdowns, all of which were career highs. Double-digit touchdowns and 2,000 scrimmage yards are within reach for the Cowboys workhorse with the assumption that he'll avoid league discipline for his incident in Vegas.
Tony Pollard47.5213.80.7115.4146.30.7744.89
Mike Weber30.9129.80.620.96.30.0317.51

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Amari Cooper8311338.31.26.60163.76
The midseason trade for Cooper was mutually beneficial for the team and player. In his 11 games (counting the postseason) with the Cowboys, Cooper racked up 66 catches for 896 yards and seven touchdowns. Cooper enters his age-25 season with three 1,000-yard campaigns already under his belt.
Michael Gallup45.1687.83.2700088.4
Making some big plays down the stretch, Gallup's best game came in the team's playoff loss to the Rams with six catches for 119 yards. While the offense most likely won't support two fantasy-viable wide receivers in standard-sized leagues, Gallup should build upon his late-season rookie success for a year-over-year improvement in production.
Randall Cobb47.1475.72.362.412062.93
Over the past three seasons, Cobb has missed a total of 10 games and averaged 54.7/548.7/3.3 per year. As the WR3 on such a run-heavy team, Cobb would do well to exceed his three-year average.
Tavon Austin7.4770.639.566.50.2919.87
Allen Hurns10.1140.40.8600019.2

TIGHT ENDS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Jason Witten41.3359.33.100054.53
Coming out of retirement in large part to help mentor the team's young tight ends, Witten is a low-upside safety blanket for Prescott, who says that Witten has "gotten better, stronger and faster." In his season before retiring, Witten had 63 catches for 560 yards and five touchdowns, which could be a best-case (and perhaps unlikely) scenario for the 37-year-old tight end.
Blake Jarwin27.7310.22.4900045.96
The majority of Jarwin's production came in his final four games (20/228/3) with seven-plus targets in three of those games. Witten's unretirement limits Jarwin's likehilood to continue his late-season momentum into 2019.

Cincinnati Bengals 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 Cincinnati Bengals.

 

QUARTERBACKS

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Andy Dalton550.2343.93906.426.9614.8632.5107.30.65249.01
Going into the 2018 season, Dalton had been fantasy's QB18 (or better) every season. While he failed to extend that streak in his injury-shortened 2018 season, Dalton was fantasy's QB16 through Week 12 (his last game played). Of course, he's not someone that you'd want as your starter, but he should outperform his 2019 ADP and be a viable streamer in favorable matchups.

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Joe Mixon272.41280.38.8546340.40.92220.69
Missing two games last season, Mixon averaged 20.0 touches per game and 4.9 yards per carry as he finished fourth in the NFL in rushing (1,168 yards). Even if their offensive line remains in the bottom half of the league, the Bengals used their first-round pick on Alabama's Jonah Williams and their second-round pick on blocking tight end Drew Sample.
Giovani Bernard59241.91.7743.7340.91.3176.76
With 36 of his touches coming in the two games that Mixon missed, Bernard had just 55 in his other 10 games played. Outside of deep PPR leagues, Bernard won't have much fantasy relevance barring an injury to Mixon.

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
A.J. Green80.61200.98.46000170.85
Before missing (almost all of) the second of the season, Green was off to a fantastic start with a 45/687/6 line through Week 8. On a per-game basis, he was fantasy's WR8 (WR11 in PPR) through Week 8. The only concern is durability as Green has now missed three-plus games in three of the past five years.
Tyler Boyd70.8913.34.96140.01121.55
Despite missing two games last season, Boyd posted his first-ever 1,000-yard season with a 76/1,028/7 line as he finished with a WR17 performance in both PPR and standard-scoring formats. Assuming good health for Green, Boyd may fall short of the 1,000-yard mark this season, but he's a viable WR3 with some upside.
John Ross23.4280.82.81313.50.0246.41
Long on speed, short on production, Ross has 210 receiving yards over just 16 games since being drafted with a top-10 pick in 2017. As disappointing as he's been, he's worth a late-round dart throw in best-ball formats.

Productive on the field (12.08 Y/R with a TD per 9.9 targets over his career), Eifert has played just 28 games over the past five seasons. Eifert (ankle) has been "doing pretty much everything" this offseason. Eifert has plenty of upside from his current ADP if (a big if) he's able to stay healthy.

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Baker Mayfield584385.44613.633.5814.0240.3145.11.01311.39
In the final eight games of his rookie season, Mayfield threw 19 touchdowns and averaged 8.57 Y/A. Among quarterbacks with a minimum of 100 pass attempts, the only quarterback that performed better over his team's final eight games was Patrick Mahomes (24 TDs, 8.72 Y/A). Going into 2019, Mayfield benefits from both the status quo (Freddie Kitchens) and changes (trade for Odell Beckham) from his rookie to second season.

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Nick Chubb248.21141.78.6923.9179.31.67194.26
A partial-year starter, Chubb ranked third in the NFL in carries (176) and fourth in rushing yards (823) from Weeks 7 to 17. Even though the team signed suspended free-agent Kareem Hunt, Chubb is expected to retain his lead-back role once Hunt is eligible to return. With the addition of Odell Beckham Jr. to the receiving corps, the ascending Cleveland offense should give Chubb plenty of scoring opportunities.
Kareem Hunt68.9320.42.4123.4216.52.1180.81
Leading the NFL in rushing as a rookie in 2017, Hunt will serve an eight-game suspension and is expected to cede the lead-back role to Chubb all season.

Odell Beckham78.71164.89.442.110.90.02174.33
Missing four games last season, Beckham hauled in 77 receptions for 1,052 yards and six scores. Even though OBJ has missed 21 games over his five-year career, he ranks third in receiving touchdowns (44) over that span behind Antonio Brown (59) and DeAndre Hopkins (45). In a better offense with a better quarterback, Beckham is always a threat for the league lead in touchdowns.
Jarvis Landry72.9823.84.193.220.80.06109.96
With the addition of his former LSU teammate, it's unlikely that Landry gets the 149 targets he had in 2018. Parlaying those touches into 81 catches for 876 yards and four touchdowns, Landry finished as fantasy's WR22 (PPR's WR18) in his first season in Cleveland. Before that, he was the WR14 (2017, WR5 in PPR), WR16 (2016, WR13 in PPR) and WR15 (2015, WR9 in PPR), respectively.

Baltimore Ravens 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 Baltimore Ravens.

 

QUARTERBACKS

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Lamar Jackson497.7293.63434.117.9211.2129.2633.14.52277.07
Starting just seven (regular-season) games last season, Jackson led the team in rush attempts (147) and was second in rushing yards (695) to Gus Edwards (718). Even though he threw for more than 200 yards only once (204 in Week 16), Jackson scored the eighth-most fantasy points per contest during his seven-week stretch as starter.

The goal may be for Jackson to run less (for durability's sake) in 2019, but offensive coordinator Greg Roman has had plenty of success orchestrating offenses led by mobile quarterbacks. Here are the fantasy QB finishes in Roman's last four seasons as OC: QB8, QB14 (Tyrod Taylor in Buffalo) and QB16, QB11 (Colin Kaepernick in San Francisco).

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Mark Ingram219996.58.7631.1223.90.93180.18
Suspended the first four games of the season, Ingram had a down year as Alvin Kamara took over as lead back in New Orleans. In the two seasons before that, however, Ingram rushed for 2,167 yards, added 104 catches for 735 yards and scored a total of 22 touchdowns. No team ran the ball as much as Baltimore in 2018 and that trend should continue in 2019 with Ingram as their lead back and my projection of 250 touches could prove too conservative.
Gus Edwards98.3501.32.953.124.80.0370.49
A key waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues last season, Edwards had only 62 rushing yards before the team's Week 10 bye, but he ended up leading the team in rushing (718 yards) on the year. Edwards rushed for a minimum of 67 yards from Weeks 11 to 17 and three 100-yard games over that seven-week span. The addition of Ingram puts a significant dent into Edwards' workload and outlook for 2019.

Marquise Brown41.5684.83.53740.60.1494.56
The first wide receiver off the board in the 2019 NFL Draft, Brown has drawn comparisons to DeSean Jackson and is the cousin of Raiders receiver Antonio Brown. From a fantasy perspective, the run-heavy Baltimore offense is far from an ideal landing spot for "Hollywood."

Matt Ryan634.2423.34946.831.0811.7334.61090.78314.31
Over the past four seasons, Ryan has finished as a top-two fantasy quarterback twice (2018, 2016) and as the QB15 or worse twice (2017, 2015). Reunited with his offensive coordinator from the three years prior to that four-year stretch, Dirk Koetter's offense in Tampa last season led the league in passing (5,125 yards) and was second to only Kansas City in yards per attempt (8.6). Given the talented group of pass-catchers at his disposal, it wouldn't surprise me if Ryan outperformed my current projections for him.

Devonta Freeman224.9967.18.4351.1413.91.66198.64
Missing almost all of last season, Freeman is poised for a bounce-back with good health (of course). Not only is Tevin Coleman now in San Francisco, but the Falcons used a pair of first-rounders on the offensive line. I have Freeman projected for a conservative 276 touches and 1,034 yards from scrimmage and perhaps a less-modest 10 touchdowns. Then again, Freeman had a total of 35 touchdowns in the previous three seasons and my projections assume a lower touchdown rate on his rush attempts than his career average (3.91%).

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Julio Jones116.51759.28.7416.50229.01
Over the past six seasons, Jones has averaged more than 100 receiving yards per game five times. Turning his 113 receptions into a league-high 1,677 yards, Jones is a lock for 1,400-plus yards as long as he stays healthy. Even though he was scoreless through seven games (53 receptions on 81 targets), he managed to score eight touchdowns over the final nine games of the season. Will his second-half red-zone production spill over into 2019?
Calvin Ridley72.8939.17.645.825.50.01142.36
Ridley put up excellent rookie numbers overall (64/821/10). Off to a hot start with six touchdowns in the first four games, Ridley was inconsistent over the final three quarters of the season. Exceeding the 50-yard mark in three of his first four games, he did so in only three of his final 12 games. Given the amount of attention that Jones commands, the former first-rounder from Alabama should be able to put together a more consistent sophomore campaign. Ridley is a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 heading into the 2019 season.
Mohamed Sanu69.5861.84.873.818.60.02117.38
Sanu set a career high in receiving yards (838) in 2018 and just missed one in receptions (66, career high: 67). Even with Jones and Ridley ahead of him in the pecking order for targets, Sanu could once again finish as a top-36 wide receiver in 2019.

TIGHT ENDS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Austin Hooper68.6679.14.4600094.67
At such a shallow position, Hooper ranked fourth among tight ends in receptions (71), seventh in targets (88) and yards (660) and ninth in touchdowns (four). Certainly not a tight end that I will target, but someone that could very well outperform his current ADP (TE16 via FFC).

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

 

PlayerAtt.Comp.YardsTDINTRushYardsTDPoints
Josh Allen526.5289.63553.918.6917.6495.9517.95.51266.49
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 and threw seven interceptions. Given his rushing production (54/576/5), which included four 95-yard rushing games over his final six, however, the rookie was fantasy's QB1 from Week 12 on. In fact, he scored 12.93 fantasy points per game during that stretch from his rushing stats alone.

Inconsistency may detract from his appeal in season-long formats, but he's an ideal QB2 in best-ball formats or starter in DFS tournaments due to his upside.

RUNNING BACKS

 

PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
LeSean McCoy147.4560.14.0526.3189.40.53102.43
After the NFL Draft, GM Brandon Beane said that McCoy is "still here" and "the starter," but few would be surprised if he was released before the start of the season. 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.

McCoy tied his career low in touches (195), which he set as a rookie in 2009. If he's still on the roster in September, a new career low in touches is likely for Shady.
Frank Gore105.3400.12.1110.183.80.5164.11
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. Yeldon48196.80.631.5236.31.8958.25
With a pair of 30-somethings ahead of him 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 Singletary52.7210.81.0515.1113.30.4541.41
The Bills used a top-75 pick on Singletary, the RB5 in the 2019 NFL Draft, but the highly-productive former Owl should make a much larger fantasy impact in 2020 than this year.

WIDE RECEIVERS

 

PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
Robert Foster46.1806.84.61000108.34
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 Brown37.7599.43.967420.2889.58
Brown played a full season in 2018 and finished with 42/715/5 (17.0 Y/R) with the Ravens. Pairing his speed with Josh Allen's strong arm means a huge week could happen any week, but he's likely to be consistently inconsistent on a week-to-week basis that it will be difficult to know when to capitalize on those potential boom weeks.
Cole Beasley61.3631.43.6800085.22
Exceeding 675 receiving yards only once (2016) in his career, Beasley will once again fall short of that mark based on my current projections. Unless you're in a deep PPR league, Beasley has limited fantasy appeal in Buffalo's run-first offense.
Zay Jones43.8503.73.500071.37
Isaiah McKenzie4.746.10.194.725.90.249.78
