    I think Jameson Williams has a huge year... I think we've been knocking on the door of a Jameson Williams breakout.

    Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost

    Johnston has to be in the argument for a breakout season with the Chargers bringing in Mike McDaniel as their offensive coordinator.

    D.J. Moore to outplay his draft cost

    advice for round five and six RB and wide receiver options... I am really targeting JMO pretty hard in this tier. Also Parker.

    Colston Loveland to outplay his draft cost

    the guys that could be or are in that elite tier that are values compared to these onesie positions are Jalen Hurts and Colston Loveland. So I would prioritize them.

    Rashid Shaheed to outplay his draft cost (late-round)

    Now fully immersed in the organization, he provides late-round value as a deep threat with spike-week potential. There's opportunity for targets next to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, making Shaheed an intriguing bench stash.

    Kyler Murray to outplay his draft cost (QB17)

    heading into this season as the Vikings' quarterback, he's being drafted as QB17, but he is in a far better situation.

    Patrick Mahomes to outplay his draft cost (QB14)

    Right now, Mahomes is being drafted as the QB14, even though he was the overall fantasy QB2 before his injury last season. There's way too much value here to pass up.

    Joe Burrow to outplay his draft cost (QB4 (57 overall))

    Joe Burrow is currently going as the QB4 (57 overall), per FantasyPros' ADP. While that's quite high, he's a quarterback I'm extremely bullish on.

    Xavier Worthy to outplay his draft cost (the end of your drafts)

    You're probably better off drafting Xavier Worthy at the end of your drafts, and leaving someone else choose to grab Rashee Rice inside the top 20 receivers.

    Ashton Jeanty to outplay his draft cost (outside of the first round)

    Personally, I'm still rolling the dice on Jeanty, who has overall RB1 upside as the bell-cow back behind an improved Raiders offensive line.

    TreVeyon Henderson to outplay his draft cost

    I'm buying the dip. Henderson is a talented player who put up some impressive spike weeks last season... Fade the consensus and grab this falling stud.

    Dontayvion Wicks to outplay his draft cost (a great late round flyer)

    So he could be a guy that really pops this year... Yeah, so just keep drafting Dontavion Wicks instead of taking a kicker or defense in your final round.

    Jonah Coleman just seems like the perfect Sean Payton back... It's just kind of possible that Coleman is just better than Dobbins and Harvey at everything and winds up as sort of the lead guy.
