Tier 13 (Continued)
201. Jalen Nailor (WR73, MIN) – A potential FLEX starter while Jordan Addison is suspended for the first three weeks of the season.
202. Dyami Brown (WR74, JAC) – Dyami Brown could see more run than most WR3s with Travis Hunter‘s snaps limited by playing both sides of the ball.
203. Romeo Doubs (WR75, GB) – A solid member of the Green Bay Packers’ overcrowded receiver room. Romeo Doubs will have startable weeks. The problem is guessing which they are.
204. Keenan Allen (WR76, LAC) – The best-case scenario is that he has a similar season to last year. The worst-case scenario is the 33-year-old plays like a 33-year-old.
UPDATE: A stale McDouble
205. MarShawn Lloyd (RB71, GB) – His rookie season was over before it started, playing in just one game before succumbing to injury. Appears fully healthy and could be the handcuff to Josh Jacobs in a potent Packers offense.
UPDATE: Dealing with yet another injury and no reliable timeline for return.
206. Isaiah Davis (RB72, NYJ) – Isaiah Davis could see some run in a potential Jets committee, but would need an injury to Breece Hall or Braelon Allen to become fantasy viable.
207. Nick Chubb (RB73, HOU) – Even with the injury status of Joe Mixon, I’m not interested in Nick Chubb this season. He’s talented enough to make me eat my words, but he’d have to find the fountain of youth first.
UPDATE: Don’t draft the ghost of Nick Chubb. He’s toast.
208. Adam Thielen (WR77, MIN) – Adam Thielen will remain a threat to catch a touchdown at 78 years old. He’ll have a few good games when the volume comes his way, but Tet McMillian will steal the majority of those away.
UPDATE: The trade to Minnesota makes Theilen a volume-based low-ceiling FLEX play the first few weeks of the season.
209. Tre Tucker (WR78, LV) – The likely WR2 in Las Vegas, Tre Tucker, could be a low-end FLEX play based on volume.
210. Dont’e Thornton Jr (WR79, LV) – See below.
Geno Smith to Dont'e Thornton Jr. for the @raiders TD!

211. Alec Pierce (WR80, IND) – The guy you pick up and start in desperation when you realize your starter is on BYE. Alec Pierce will get you two or 20 points. There is no in between.
212. Marvin Mims Jr. (WR81, DEN) – A boom/bust dart throw when bye-mageddon hits. Could lose playing time if rookie Pat Bryant emerges.
213. Quentin Johnston (WR82, LAC) – A glimmer of hope remains thanks to the retirement of Mike Williams. If Quentin Johnston could solve his drop issues, he’d be a lot higher on this list.
214. DeAndre Hopkins (WR83, BAL) – Expect production similar to what we saw from DeAndre Hopkins in Kansas City.
215. Darren Waller (TE28, MIA) – From retirement straight to the PUP list. Waller could catch a few touchdowns, but he’s not fantasy relevant.
216. Andrei Iosivas (WR84, CIN) – Incredibly handsome, but would need an injury to Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins to sniff any fantasy value.
217. Malik Washington (WR85, MIA) – With Tyreek Hill‘s age and Jonnu Smith traded to the Steelers, there’s a potential opportunity behind Jaylen Waddle
218. Terrance Ferguson (TE29, LAR) – Not someone I’m drafting, but I do like the potential for Terrance Ferguson to become one of those “lightning in a bottle” tight ends if he can carve out a role in the offense. A name to remember.
Tier 14
219. Tutu Atwell (WR86, LAR) – As long as Matthew Stafford is under center, Tutu Atwell is fine as a deep high-risk, high-reward FLEX play.
220. Elijah Arroyo (TE30, SEA) – A tad more intriguing with the Seahawks’ release of Noah Fant, but he has to beat out AJ Barner first.
221. Chig Okonkwo (TE31, TEN) – The once uber hyped fantasy darling finished the 2024 season strong. There’s a chance he could still become a thing, but keep an eye on rookie Gunnar Helm.
222. Emanuel Wilson (RB74, GB) – Finished the season scoring in three straight games. In a battle with MarShawn Lloyd for the right to be Josh Jacobs’ backup.
UPDATE: With Lloyd out, he will have a chance to spell Josh Jacobs. Showed some small flashes with playing time last season. Like, OG Polaroid camera type flashes. But flashes nonetheless.
223. Denver Broncos (DST1, DEN) – The top fantasy defense from a year ago starts the season off facing Tennessee and Indianapolis. Yes please. If you’re not waiting until the last two rounds to take your defense, the Broncos are one of the few teams I’d be okay with snagging a few rounds early.
224. Will Shipley (RB75, PHI) – A handcuff to Saquon Barkley is worth watching regardless of who it is.
225. Cole Kmet (TE32, CHI) – As a former member of the Cole Kmet Club, it hurts to say that the dream is dead. He’ll have some solid games, but it wouldn’t be a shock to see him traded.
226. Houston Texans (DST2, HOU) – Gets to face the Colts, Titans, and Jags twice each.
227. Jonnu Smith (TE33, PIT) – The fact that Jonnu Smith is being drafted as the TE11 before upside plays like Colston Loveland, Tucker Kraft, and even former teammate Kyle Pitts is absurd. Yes, Jonnu set previous career highs with Arthur Smith in Atlanta the season prior, but nowhere near his breakout 2024 numbers. 50 catches, 582 yards, three touchdowns, and a TE17 finish. How did he finish while they were together in Tennessee from 2017 to 2020? TE 49, TE 35, and TE20.
228. Dontayvion Wicks (WR87, GB) – Romeo Doubs 2: Electric Boogaloo.
UPDATE: Battling a calf injury most of the preseason, on track for Week 1, but could start the season slow in an already crowded WR room.
229. Trevor Etienne (RB76, CAR) – The fourth-rounder is battling for the RB3 spot on the Panthers.
230. Jalen McMillan (WR88, TB) – Jalen McMillan will have a role in the Bucs offense, but lacks the upside of rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka. Don’t be fooled into overdrafting him after his TD onslaught to finish 2024–there is too much target competition in this offense.
UPDATE: A preseason neck injury has McMillian out until October at the earliest.
231. A.J. Dillon (RB77, PHI) – Intriguing name to watch in case the curse of 370 indeed hits Saquon Barkley.
232. Tyler Lockett (WR89, TEN) – Should start for the Titans and could be a veteran safety blanket for rookie Cameron Ward.
233. Cade Otton (TE34, TB) – Had a solid six-game stretch for the Bucs, but Cade Otton is yet another esteemed member of the tight end glob of mediocrity.
UPDATE: Battling a second preseason injury, and may not be ready for the start of the season.
234. Chris Rodriguez Jr (RB78, WAS) –A chance for a role with Brian Robinson Jr. traded to San Francisco.
235. Minnesota Vikings (DST3, MIN) – Finished in the top five in sacks and first in interceptions last season.
236. Green Bay Packers (DST4, GB) – Top 10 in sacks and interceptions in 2024. Now with Micah Parsons!
237. Sean Tucker (RB79, TB) – In line for a larger role if Rachaad White‘s injury lingers.
238. Aaron Rodgers (QB32, PIT) – Could Aaron Rodgers have some weeks he’s a viable fantasy starter? Sure. He’s a four-time MVP after all. But I’m not all that interested in a soon-to-be 42-year-old Rodgers two years removed from a ruptured Achilles in an awful Arthur Smith offense. Hard Pass.
239. Anthony Richardson Sr. (QB33, IND) – I’m unsure if Anthony Richardson Sr. can ever put it together. But he’s worth stashing just in case. He’ll have a QB1 overall ceiling until the day he retires. Hopefully, he can learn to pass.
Tier 15
240. Dillon Gabriel (QB34, CLE) – This has more to do with how poorly Shedeur Sanders looked versus anything changing with Dillon Gabriel. (deja vu?) Gabriel was the best rookie quarterback on the team, and I’d expect him to see starts first if Flacco gets benched or injured.
241. Roman Wilson (WR90, PIT) – Opportunity awaits behind DK Metcalf on the Steelers depth chart. Wilson has the talent to take advantage.
242. Amari Cooper (WR91, LV) – No. Just, no.
243. Damien Martinez (RB80, SEA) – Considering the injury history of the guys ahead of him, he’s an intriguing name to keep an eye on. Waived, but may latch on to the practice squad.
244. Noah Fant (TE35, CIN) – Limited ceiling considering his target competition. But worth watching, considering the tight end position.
245. Jaleel McLaughin (RB81, DEN) – Third on the depth chart behind Dobbins and Harvey, but potential for some passing down work if either gets hurt.
246. Kareem Hunt (RB82, KC) – Proved he still has it last season, earning another contract with the Chiefs. A viable FLEX if he winds up with a solid number of touches.
247. Taysom Hill (TE36, NO) – A true enigma of the fantasy football world, the TE/QB/RB/WR’s timetable to return is unclear after a season-ending knee injury last season. If/when he returns this season, he’s the definition of a lottery ticket. It remains to be seen how he’ll be used in a Kellen Moore offense.
248. Justice Hill (RB83, BAL) – Justice Hill is a desperation FLEX play who needs a touchdown to get over the double-digit point threshold.
249. Luke Musgrave (TE37, GB) – Another esteemed member of the tight end glob of mediocrity. This time with less upside!
250. Antonio Gibson (RB84, NE) – An injury away from being fantasy viable in New England.
251. Devin Singletary (RB85, NYG) – Could be in line for more early-season work than anticipated with rookie Cam Skattebo battling a hamstring injury.
252. Michael Mayer (TE38, LV) – The rare tight end handcuff. Would hold value if Brock Bowers missed time.
253. AJ Barner (TE39, SEA) – Lower upside than Arroyo, but holds the inside lane on the Seahawks’ starting TE spot.
254. Raheem Mostert (RB86, LV) – Nothing more than Ashton Jeanty‘s handcuff, and an old and injury-prone one at that.
255. Christian Watson (WR92, GB) – Should be back this season, but he’ll start on the PUP list. Worth a stash if your league has IR slots.
256. Detroit Lions (DST5, DET) – One of four teams to allow fewer than 20 passing touchdowns in 2024. Sack total should jump with the return of DE Aidan Hutchinson.
256. Tyler Shough (QB35, NO) – The ceiling is certainly limited with Shough; he had turnover issues in college and has a reputation for making slow reads. But considering the strong set of weapons he’ll have at his disposal (Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Alvin Kamara) and a head coach in Kellen Moore known for his elite offenses as an OC, Shough is a free lottery ticket. He’s more of a target in Superflex leagues, but there’s no risk at an ADP of QB34. He could offer some upside as a solid 1QB league backup with occasional spike weeks.
258. Ty Johnson (RB87, BUF) – A handcuff to James Cook, worth keeping an eye on considering how much the Bills run the ball.
259. Darius Slayton (WR93, NYG) – A desperation FLEX play with boom potential if Russell Wilson can hit him with a deep ball.
260. Michael Wilson (WR94, ARI) – A late-round flyer who’s shown flashes of productivity over his first two seasons.
261. LeQuint Allen Jr (RB88, JAC) – If ETN or Bigsby are traded, a sneaky name to watch. Has impressed this preseason.
262. Kenneth Gainwell (RB89, PIT) – Any running back on the roster of a team with “Awful Arthur” Smith calling plays should be watched.
263. Dameon Pierce (RB90, HOU) – With Joe Mixon and Nick Chubb already dealing with injury, Dameon Pierce could find himself in line for significant touches. Limited upside, but we’ve seen him have stretches of productivity.
264. Ty Chandler (RB91, MIN) – On the roster bubble for the Vikings. Not a fit in Minnesota, but worth keeping tabs on in case a change of scenery offers a new opportunity.
265. Devaughn Vele (WR95, NO) – Devaughn Vele quietly had seven games over 10 fantasy points in his rookie season. A low-end desperation FLEX play.
266. Parker Washington (WR96, JAC) – Scored double-digit fantasy points in three of the Jaguars’ final six games, and is an intriguing deep sleeper to keep an eye on considering the potential upside of Jacksonville’s Liam Coen-led offense.
267. Raheim Sanders (RB92, LAC) – A deep stash with talent. Worth keeping an eye on considering Harris’ injury and Ki”meh”ni Vidal.
268. Khalil Herbert (RB93, IND) – At this point, why not?
269. Spencer Rattler (QB36, NO) – Currently the favorite to open the season as the Saints’ starting quarterback, but expect an ever-changing carousel in New Orleans. Spencer Rattler (or whoever starts) is at best a desperation Superflex play.
270. Buffalo Bills (DST6, BUF) – Led the NFL in turnover differential in 2024.
271. Ray-Ray McCloud III (WR97, ATL) – Ray-Ray McCloud III stands to gain the most value while Darnell Mooney is out. He’s a low-end WR3/FLEX play while Mooney is on the shelf.
272. Kimani Vidal (RB94, LAC) – Offers upside as the likely RB3 behind Hampton and Harris, but needs to perform over the final weeks of the preseason to avoid being cut.
273. Sincere McCormick (RB95, LV) – Buried behind Raheem Mostert and Zamir White on the depth chart, but showed promise when given the opportunity in 2024.
274. Calvin Austin III (WR98, PIT) – The Steelers’ weak WR corps consists of DK Metcalf, and that’s about it. A chance to see substantial volume from day one. Metcalf can’t catch all the passes. Right?
275. Pittsburgh Steelers (DST7, PIT) – An already loaded defense led by T.J. Watt that added Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, and rookie defensive end Derrick Harmon in the first round.
276. Los Angeles Chargers (DST8, LAC) – Top 10 last season in sacks and interceptions, and a juicy schedule from Weeks 2-5.
277. Demarcus Robinson (WR99, SF) – Demarcus Robinson could miss some games with a possible suspension looming, but a sneaky early-season FLEX play for a 49ers team desperate for pass catchers.
278. Jalen Milroe (QB37, SEA) – High upside QB to watch in case Sam Darnold starts seeing ghosts again.
UPDATE: Didn’t play well this preseason and was turnover-prone. Still offers upside with his rushing ability, but barring injury, he’ll likely remain the backup in Seattle for the entire season.
279. Baltimore Ravens (DST9, BAL) – Year in and year out, one of the best defenses in fantasy and real life.
280. Philadelphia Eagles (DST10, PHI) – Gets to face the Giants and Cowboys twice, led the league in turnovers, and racks up plenty of sacks.
281. Samaje Perine (RB96, CIN) – Likely starts the season ahead of Tahj Brooks and offers mild PPR value.
282. New England Patriots (DST11, NE) – Gets to face the Jets and Dolphins twice.
283. Chris Brooks (RB97, GB) – On the roster bubble with the Packers, but even if he’s released, he’ll get picked up by a running back-needy team. A talented dart thrower in deeper leagues.
284. Kansas City Chiefs (DST12, KC) – The McDouble of fantasy defenses.
285. Jahan Dotson (WR100, PHI) – Still just 25 years old, he can provide WR2 value if he were to ever put it all together. Likely the Eagles’ WR3 to start the season, but would need to see consistent production before even considering Jahan Dotson is a name to watch on the waiver wire, but nothing more.
286. Seattle Seahawks (DST13, SEA) – A dark horse to finish as a top-five fantasy defense on the backs of their strong D-line and secondary.
287. Tyler Higbee (TE40, LAR) – #NeverHigbee.
288. Jake Bates (K1, DET) – Don’t
289. Brandon Aubrey (K2, DAL) – Draft
290. Harrison Butker (K3, KC) – Your
