Fantasy Favourites

With a new NFL season comes a fresh year of fantasy football and another chance to win your league! 

Here are my top three favourite players to have on your fantasy team for the upcoming season: 

1. Breece Hall, RB, NYJ - Number 1 Overall Fantasy Player Upside 

- CMC is going to usually be the first player taken off the board, however, Breece Hall should most certainly be the next RB 

- improved offensive line and QB play - going from some of the worst QB play in the NFL to a healthy Aaron Rodgers will certainly increase Hall’s success 

- Breece has minimal competition - the Jets used two of their draft picks this year on the RB position, with that said, neither of them are a threat to Breece’s impact if he remains healthy 

- pass-catching abilities - Breece led all running backs in receptions (76) and receiving yards (591), in PPR formats especially this is very valuable from the running back position, and with Aaron Rodgers under centre, these numbers could increase 

1. Tee Higgins, WR, CIN - WR top 8 upside  

- One of my favourite things about Tee Higgins is value - with an ADP of 61, you would have been able to draft Tee as late as the fifth round, which is tremendous value for a potential number 1 option for Joe Burrow 

- Tee is in a contract season, playing under the franchise tag for the Bengals - a motivated man looking to get  himself paid can make for a dangerous fantasy player

- Tyler Boyd gone - Boyd was the third receiver for the Bengals, however he took a lot of reps in the slot away from Tee, and Jamar as well. In his absence, Tee will have the opportunity to take advantage of this through more work this season from the slot, and in different areras pf the field as well

- With question marks surrounding Jamar Chase and a healthy Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins is certainly one of my favourite payers to draft this season  

1. Tank Dell, WR, HOU - WR top 10 upside  

- Another very valuable pick as you can get Tank later in your fantasy drafts - with an ADP of 63, which would be around the fifth round - Dell is often the third Texan receiver taken in the draft 

- As CJ’s favourite deep ball threat the rookie duo was very impressive last season

- 15 FPG last season, 45 recs and 709 yards, Tank was a top 12 receiver four times as a rookie before a leg injury put him out for the rest of the season 

- Stefon Diggs addition - in a loaded WR room, Tank will find himself in situations where he is guarded by a teams third DB, and he will certainly take advantage of that
