Key Insights

Why did the Colts bench Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco?

Flacco gives the Colts the best chance to win and allows them to compete for the division.

Why is Travis Etienne expected to bounce back for fantasy players?

Injuries at wide receiver and his capability in the passing game increase his potential.

Why is Ladd McConkie's fantasy relevance increasing?

The Chargers are passing more, and McConkie is becoming a go-to guy on third down and in the red zone.

Why is Josh Downs a top 15 receiver rest of season?

He's among league leaders in targets per route run and has a high fantasy points per game with Joe Flacco.

Why is Jalen McMillan worth keeping an eye on?

He had multiple potential touchdown opportunities and Baker Mayfield looks competent despite lack of elite weapons.

Why might Kareem Hunt's fantasy value decrease?

Isaiah Pacheco could return and split time with Hunt, potentially disrupting his touches.

Why is George Pickens a potential breakout candidate?

He's on pace for over 1,500 receiving yards and has been good on film despite penalties negating some big plays.

Why is Mark Andrews' fantasy outlook cautionary?

His route participation is lower than last year's elite level, and Deontay Johnson's addition could affect his targets.

Why might Joe Mixon's fantasy performance drop?

He's been touchdown dependent and his efficiency metrics suggest regression.

Why is Tank Dell expected to have a good second half of the season?

Without Stephon Diggs, Dell should see more targets and the schedule opens up.
