    Jake Ferguson to finish top 5 at his position, by fantasy points

    The 27-year-old is entering the prime of his career and has all the makings of a top-five tight end for the second consecutive season.

    D'Andre Swift to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points

    He's almost a lock to finish as an RB2 this season, so if you're looking for affordable running back production, he's your guy.

    James Cook to finish top 2 at his position, by fantasy points

    If reports from training camp are true and the Bills do use Cook more in the receiving game, a top-two finish is within his range of outcomes.
