Tennessee Titans

Opportunity is a big chunk of any running back’s fantasy value, and it’s possible Tony Pollard’s role might make him an underrated pick this summer. He’s proven to be more durable and effective than Tyjae Spears, and although rookie Nicholas Singleton has his supporters, he was merely a fifth-round pick. Brian Daboll built top-five rushing offenses in two of his four years with the Giants, and he’ll look to work that magic again here. It would be a stretch to call Pollard a likely bell-cow, but he has a reasonable chance at 300 touches, which would provide a nifty fantasy backboard.

Indianapolis Colts

Bears TE Colston Loveland is getting a ton of fantasy buzz this summer and it’s justified. But if you can’t get Loveland at his expectant price, maybe you can pivot to Tyler Warren. Indy’s rookie ranked third in targets, sixth in receptions and fifth in yards among tight ends last year, and that was despite QB Daniel Jones missing the final four games. Warren’s case isn’t that different from Loveland’s, but he’s going a full round later in early Yahoo drafts. 

Jacksonville Jaguars

It’s common to see receivers struggle with a new team after a midseason trade. But Jakobi Meyers didn’t read that memo, posting a solid 42-483-3 line after joining the Jaguars in early November. If you prorate Meyers’s stats to a full season, we’re looking at 79-912-6, which would make him a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 in most leagues. He’s priced for profit in early Yahoo drafts, slotted as the WR42.  

Houston Texans

Nico Collins at his best is an awesome sight, a dominant receiver who can win on the entire route tree. But he’s had trouble staying healthy as a pro (19 missed games in five seasons) and he’s tied to a limited quarterback in C.J. Stroud. The Texans have an unmistakable identity — they aim to win with dominant defense and controlled offense. Collins still commands a top-20 pick in Yahoo leagues, which means you have to draft him at his ceiling. I’ll enjoy the show, but eschew that draft cost.
