You always have to think about the incoming rookie class, so we’ll ignore these guys for the purposes of this article. We analyzed players that either under performed, had limited exposure or suffered injuries during last season. We combined that info with “New Situations” to highlight players that Fantasy Team Owners may not be paying attention to, and here is what we found.

Quarterbacks

Drew Lock – Denver Broncos

Drew Lock played in 5 games in 2019 season which is just under 33% of all games. During these games he competed 64% of his passes with a 7/3 TD/INT ratio and over 1,000 yards. Lock has some new weapons including First Round Draft Pick Jerry Jeudy. Not to mention second year tight end Noah Fant. The addition of the pass catching Back Melvin Gordon who averaged over 4 targets a game in Los Angeles.

Teddy Bridgewater – Carolina Panthers

If you recall Teddy stepped in nicely for the injured Drew Brees and played in 9 games last season. Albeit his yardage numbers were not staggering, he did put up some interesting statistics such as a near 68% completion percentage with a 9/2 TD/INT ratio. His weapons for 2020 are astounding. Christian McCaffrey, DJ Moore, Curtis Samuel, and Robby Andersen, and his proven ability to manage a game could prove to be just what the Panthers needed.

Running Backs

Devin Singletary – Buffalo Bills

Devin Singletary played in 12 games and it was obvious in the early part of last season the Bills didn’t know what to do with him. In his last 8 games he averaged 16.3 rushing attempts per game complimented by 3.6 targets per game. If he picks up where he left off, he could have a surprising year, but there are 2 factors at play here. 1) Josh Allen steals carries 2) Zach Moss joins the backfield.

Kenyan Drake – Arizona Cardinals

We’re just going to forget about his days with Miami. Since being acquired by Arizona, Kenyan Drake averaged 15 rush attempts per game and 4.3 targets per game. He played 8 games with Arizona and based on his Arizona numbers, he would be a 1300 yd rusher averaging 5.3 yards per carry.

Wide Receivers

Allen Robinson II – Chicago Bears

So this one may be obvious. Allen Robinson ticks all the boxes. Let’s see what the new QB can offer up for AROB.

• aDOT (Average Depth of Target) -11.4
• WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rank) – .67
• RACR (Receiving Air Conversion Ratio) – .66
• MS Air (Market Share of Air Yards) – 39%
• MS Tgts (Market Share of Targets) – 27%

Tyler Boyd – Cincinnati Bengals

Lots of new life in Cincy. Will Tyler Boyd be a beneficiary? 1,000 yards receiving with a RACR of .88 and the bulk of the targets on a dismal offense that couldn’t sustain drives due to poor QB play in my opinion. This could be a break out season with the rookie QB at the helm.

Tight Ends

Dallas Goedert- Philadelphia Eagles

Despite having Zach Ertz on the squad, Goedert hauled in 58 receptions and his reception to air conversion ratio was a whopping 1.22. Goedert had 1 less TD (5) than Ertz on a significantly lower target market share.

Evan Engram- NY Giants

This comes down to health and the upgrade at Offensive line.Engram had 68 targets in 8 games, which puts him on par with Kittle and Kelce had he remained healthy for an entire season.
