Tre Tucker to outplay his draft cost (True Value : $1)
If they do, it will likely be Tucker, and his chances of fantasy relevance increase with Bowers out.

Kaelon Black to outplay his draft cost (True Value : $9)
There’s a chance for Black to provide stand-alone flex value over the next two weeks with the 49ers expected to be heavy favorites in home games against the Dolphins and Cardinals.

Devaughn Vele to outplay his draft cost (True Value : $4)
Vele is clearly going to get a lot of playing time until the Saints get first-round rookie Jordyn Tyson back from a hamstring injury. Vele is worth your attention this week if you’re looking to plug a hole at receiver.

Michael Mayer to outplay his draft cost (True Value : $1)
Mayer now gets a Week 2 matchup against the Chargers, who gave up 9-95-1 to Cardinals tight end Trey McBride in Week 1.

Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost (True Value : $5)
Still, there’s a lot to like here. Shough has shown competence early in his career. He’s an aggressive downfield thrower. He adds some rushing value.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 14, 2026 Ashton Jeanty to outplay his draft cost
Ashton Jeanty's sophomore breakout is coming in full force.
Dalton Schultz to outplay his draft cost
If you need a Week 2 streamer at tight end and Dalton Schultz is available in your league, grab him.
Geno Smith to outplay his draft cost
Smith isn't an attractive name brand, but he could provide big-time value in the coming weeks for a small FAAB bid.
Terrance Ferguson to outplay his draft cost
The Rams are rumored to have big plans for Ferguson. This is a growth stock to hold.
Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost
Running quarterbacks are a fantasy cheat code... Trust the legs and fret not that Willis has a young and inexperienced group of pass-catchers.
Devaughn Vele to outplay his draft cost
Vele is worth your attention this week if you're looking to plug a hole at receiver.
Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost
Still, there's a lot to like here. Shough has shown competence early in his career. He's an aggressive downfield thrower.
Kaelon Black to outplay his draft cost
There's a chance for Black to provide stand-alone flex value over the next two weeks with the 49ers expected to be heavy favorites in home games against the Dolphins and Cardinals.
Deebo Samuel Sr. to outplay his draft cost
Samuel is likely to play a prominent role in a very good San Francisco offense for the foreseeable future... Samuel is a worthwhile fantasy asset.
Tyjae Spears to outplay his draft cost
Still, Spears could be a worthwhile depth piece.
Adonai Mitchell to outplay his draft cost
He hasn't put it all together yet, but the former first-round pick might be worth a bet.
Dontayvion Wicks to outplay his draft cost
Wicks is a worthwhile addition with favorable matchups coming against the Titans and Bears the next two weeks.
Pat Freiermuth to outplay his draft cost
If you're planning ahead, Freiermuth is a good grab-and-stash.

Colston Loveland to outplay his draft cost (drafted as an elite tight end)
Better days are on the horizon for Loveland, especially since Chicago's well-oiled offensive machine will be pushed to score points because their defense is an unserious unit.

Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost
Johnston's route participation makes him a moderately interesting buy-low candidate or hold.

Dalton Kincaid to outplay his draft cost
It's wheels up for Kincaid, and he should be treated as a locked-in starter until further notice. In fact, Kincaid is a viable buy-high candidate based on his surge in playing time in Week 1 and history of efficiency.

Chuba Hubbard to outplay his draft cost
Hubbard should continue to reward fantasy managers who drafted him at a value this offseason. Heat Index: 4

Dalton Kincaid to outplay his draft cost
While Kincaid has shown this type of upside in the past, the tight end’s increased usage suggests it could be sustainable this time around... Heat Index: 4

Justin Jefferson to outplay his draft cost
his usage last season suggests he will be right back in the WR1 conversation if Minnesota gets better quarterback play this season

You can make a similar case for Ashton Jeanty , assuming the Raiders are better up front after their offseason additions and coaching changes
