Last week, head coach Sean McDermott highlighted Cook as a standout at practice. He’ll attempt to carve out a role with Devin Singletary and Zack Moss in the mix. In the second round of this year’s draft, they added James Cook. The Buffalo Bills’ backfield may frustrate fantasy managers. Fantasy managers may want to get ahead of the curve and pick him up late in the draft while he has an 11.02 ADP. With a solid preseason showing, he can claim the top spot on the Falcons' running back depth chart and handle a sizeable portion of the carries every week. Over his last two years at BYU, Allgeier rushed for 2,736 yards and 36 touchdowns. Compared to Henry, who’s 6’3”, 247 pounds, Allgeier (5’10”, 224 lbs) has a smaller, stockier frame, but Atlanta could adopt a similar offensive philosophy if the rookie can handle the load. Most teams employ a two-man ground attack or use a committee with three or four backs, so Wyche’s use of the word bell cow should catch your attention.Īs the offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans between 20, Falcons head coach Arthur Smith featured Derrick Henry in a run-first offense. Per NFL Network’s Steve Wyche, the Falcons believe Tyler Allgeier can “be the bell cow” out of the backfield.

In 2021, Cordarrelle Patterson led the club in rushing with 618 yards and six touchdowns on the ground, but The Athletic’s Josh Kendall thinks it’s “overly optimistic” to believe the hybrid wide receiver-running back carries a full workload in the run game this year. In terms of the pecking order, the Atlanta Falcons have a wide-open backfield.Ītlanta released running back Mike Davis, who registered 138 carries for 503 yards and three touchdowns last season. Because he’s paired with one of the league’s best play-callers in head coach Kyle Shanahan, a lot of fantasy football managers will give him the benefit of the doubt and roll the dice on his potential. If Lance knocks off some rust and looks sharp in the preseason, expect him to move up draft boards by a round or two before September. Right now, in 12-team leagues, he’s a QB2 with a 9.09 average draft position (ADP). Last year, he appeared in six games, started in two, throwing for 603 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions with a 57.7 percent completion rate.Īs a rookie, Lance also rushed for 168 yards and a touchdown on 38 carries, which makes him a high-upside fantasy option at quarterback. Lance hasn’t played a full season of football since his collegiate 2019 term at North Dakota State. “The 49ers believe Lance can be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but they’re entering this season with a degree of uncertainty about how he’ll play,” Kyed wrote.

According to Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed, the San Francisco 49ers don’t even know what to expect from him. Keep a close eye on how the new coaching staff uses Fields, and his rapport with Jones, whom NBC Sports’ Peter King believes the Bears have big intentions for this year.Īrguably the most talked about young quarterback this offseason, Trey Lance goes into his second year as an unknown fantasy commodity. Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters that he wants his starters to “get a good amount” of snaps in the preseason. He recorded 72 carries for 420 yards and two touchdowns last season. In those outings, he played against the San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings (three playoff teams) and scored no fewer than 16.9 points in all those contests, per FantasyPros.įields’ ability to run the ball can balance his struggles in the passing game, which puts him on the QB2 radar with a 12.12 ADP. N’Keal Harry, whom the team acquired from the New England Patriots a few weeks ago, suffered a high ankle sprain over the last weekend.ĭespite all of that, Fields has some sleeper appeal.Īccording to Pro Football Focus’ Nathan Jahnke, Fields finished top 12 in fantasy points among quarterbacks in the last four games that he started and finished in 2021. Brown have a lot to prove without 50 catches or 600 receiving yards in a single season on their resumes. No matter what Fields says about the wideout group, Byron Pringle and Equanimeous St. and castoffs who served as backups on other teams last season. Aside from Darnell Mooney, the group features a rookie third-rounder in Velus Jones Jr. The Chicago Bears wide receiver corps isn’t going to attract you to Justin Fields.
