Justin Fields (QB) Age 24 – Chicago Bears

Fields is a “Konami Code” because of his incredible rushing ability which played a major role in his finishing as the QB6 in 2022. In his second season, he recorded the second most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single season, with an impressive 1,143 yards. Fields also had three games with over 130 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns, demonstrating his exceptional running skills. However, he struggled in the passing game, finishing 31st in completion percentage and 26th in passing yards.

Several factors contributed to Fields’ lack of production as a passer. Firstly, the Chicago Bears started the season with one the worst wide receiver groups in the NFL. Darnell Mooney who was their No. 1 wide receiver missed five games. Mid-season the team traded for Chase Claypool, who only played seven games for Chicago. As the season progressed Fields improved his completion percentage. with only one game in the second half of the season having an under 60% completion percentage, compared to four games in the first half.

During the off-season, Chicago added DJ Moore via trade, adding another weapon in the passing game. Moore is a huge addition to this offense. Now entering his third season Fields will have a full off-season to build a connection with Moore and Claypool. Look for him to take a major step forward in his passing game.

Breece Hall (RB) Age: 21 – New York Jets

Hall is a promising young running back who displayed his talent during his rookie season before suffering a major setback. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in Week 7 and was forced to sit out for the remainder of the season. However, he has been making a strong recovery and is expected to be ready for Week 1.

While Hall’s return is eagerly anticipated, it’s important to note that some players may take time to regain their pre-injury form. As such, it’s possible that he may not immediately hit the ground running and may require a few weeks to get back to his best.

Despite his limited playing time, Hall impressed during his rookie season, averaging almost 5.8 YPC on 80 attempts. He also demonstrated his versatility as a pass-catcher, with three games in which he recorded at least six targets. In fact, in Week 5, he racked up an impressive 100 receiving yards.

Overall, Hall has shown great potential and it will be exciting to see him back on the field. While there may be some uncertainty about his immediate impact, his ability as a runner and a receiver make him a valuable asset to any team.

Javonte Williams (RB) Age: 23 – Denver Broncos

Williams possesses a ton of talent with great size and is loved by many in the fantasy community. However, like Breece Hall, his season was cut short because of an injury. Regrettably, he sustained tears not only in his ACL but also in his LCL. Although there have been some positive reports regarding his recovery, it cannot be guaranteed that he will be prepared to participate in Week 1. It has even been suggested that he may not be ready until mid-season.

I am lower on Williams than many people which is why he barely made it on this list. There is a lot of uncertainty going into this season with him. Not only is he coming off of a major injury, but he has a new head coach in Sean Payton, who prefers to utilize multiple running backs. During Payton’s time in New Orleans, only four times did a running back have more than 210 carries. Furthermore, never did a running back reach 250 carries in a season.

Denver has signed Samaje Perine who I expect to have a significant role beyond being just a backup running back. Perine’s usage last season, especially on third downs, was a source of frustration for managers of Joe Mixon. I am not convinced Denver is finished at the running back position and could look to add another one in the draft.

Chris Olave (WR) Age: 22 – New Orleans Saints

Olave’s skill set is incredible, as he possesses excellent speed, agility, and route-running ability, making it a challenge for defenders to stop. With unbelievably reliable hands he routinely makes difficult catches look easy. Olave demonstrated remarkable talent in his rookie season amassing 1,042 receiving yards over fifteen games. He recorded an impressive 14.47 yards per catch which ranked 15th among all receivers.

A popular debate among the fantasy community is Chris Olave vs. Garrett Wilson. While there are arguments to be made for each side you really can’t go wrong with either one. However, personally, I would place Olave slightly ahead of Wilson.

Although Olave and Wilson had impressive rookie seasons, upon analyzing the statistics and game logs, certain factors seemed to favor Olave over Wilson. Specifically, Olave never had a game where he recorded fewer than 40 receiving yards, whereas Wilson had six such games. Additionally, Olave ranked 16th in yards per reception, while Wilson finished 32nd.

As of now, Olave’s quarterback situation seems more favorable than that of Wilson’s. There is a strong chance though that this may change if the Jets manage to strike a deal for Aaron Rodgers. However, given Rodgers’s age and thoughts on retirement, I hold the opinion that Olave has a more stable long-term situation at quarterback.

 Kyle Pitts (TE) Age: 22 – Atlanta Falcons

Pitts has exceptional size, speed, and athleticism, allowing him to create mismatches against defenders. In his rookie season, he had an immediate impact, catching 68 passes for 1,026 yards with three games of 100 or more receiving yards. He finished just 50 yards shy of Mike Ditka’s record for most receiving yards by a rookie tight end.

Since entering the league Pitts has been one of the more frequently targeted tight ends. In his rookie season, he ranked fifth among tight ends in targets with 110. Last season he was on pace to finish with over 100 targets before suffering an MCL tear which would have also ranked him fifth among tight ends. According to reports, his recovery is progressing smoothly and is expected to be ready for training camp.

When Pitts entered the league, there were insanely high expectations surrounding him and doubts emerged about his ability to meet them. However, based on his brief time in the NFL, I am convinced that he possesses the skills to be among the top, if not the very best, fantasy football tight end. Last season’s struggles were due to the team’s poor quarterback situation and finishing 31st in pass percentage, not Pitts’ capabilities.

Over the past five years, there have been only five additional tight ends who have achieved 1,000 receiving yards in a single season, namely Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, Darren Waller, George Kittle, and Zach Ertz. Out of these five players, Kelce is the only one who has accomplished this feat more than twice, while Andrews is the only one under the age of 29. With Pitts just 22 years old he has the potential of being a top-three tight end for the next 10-12 years.
