Amari Cooper, walnut, At all new Orleans: The Saints have a new defensive leaders in Dennis Allen, Who is
arraigned with shoring up a certifiable disaster in the secondary. New Orleans
allowed many passing touchdowns (45) And yards per pass start (8.7 ypa) In the
NFL a year ago and only improved their personnel marginally. Much will be on
Allen's shoulders to make do with what he has early in the season, which often
spell trouble against an upstart Raiders passing attack. Cooper is the biggest
weapon in the group and comes off a successful rookie season (72 1,070 6) That
was held back by a loitering foot injury and a case of the drops. Cooper has a
big chance to show he's healthy and ready to climb the ladder to join the elite
at his position this season. Marvin Jones, DET, At indiana: Jones might already
be Matthew Stafford's favorite target after arriving in Detroit as a free agent
from Cincinnati. fresh and Mohamed Sanu. No similar threat exists in Detroit as
far and away the best red zone threat on the roster. Jones could have a big
debut for the Lions facing a Colts' secondary that might be without top
cornerback Vontae Davis and perhaps reserve Darius Butler as well. Lions
offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter has the ammo to spread out the depleted
group and attack through air. Jones need to a big part of that approach, Putting
100 yards and a score well within his reach. Eli Rogers, hole, At oregon: The
pittsburgh steelers play Monday night, So the timing is challenging rely on a
late call on the status of injured wide receiver Markus Wheaton. Already
positioned as the primary slot receiver in an offense that depends on the short
passing attack, Rogers could get another boost if Wheaton is forced to sit
devin mccourty jersey, A prospect that's looking very likely by the day. Martavis Bryant and Le'Veon Bell are both out serving suspensions, And tight end Ladarius
Green is on injured reserve to spread out the year. The Steelers are down to a
select few weapons, and as well Rogers, A second year player of Louisville,
Could be their best complement to Antonio Brown. Rogers is a sneaky bet for
double digit expectations. Jeremy Maclin, KC, as contrasted with. san diego: The
rechargers have a feisty
malcolm butler jersey, Underrated group of corners with the skill sets to attenuate the impact Maclin can make. kansas leans heavily on Maclin, So he'll never slip
beyond a mid range WR3 regardless of matchup, But his two contests against the
Chargers last season indicate a potential uphill climb. Maclin caught nine
passes for 97 yards and no scores in the Chiefs' two wins over the Chargers in
2015
legarrette blount jersey, A trend that should continue in his season opener. PPR leaguers can still rely on a steady flow of short and intermediate targets, But
with a far worse chance for intense plays and touchdowns. Julian Edelman
matthew slater jersey, NE, At arizona: Take Tom Brady away from the mix, And the Patriots' attack starts to look awfully jogging. The offense is built on the
talents of Brady to send out the ball and put playmakers in positions to make
plays after the catch. Can Jimmy Garoppolo do the same to start the growing
season? Add more questions on the absence of Dion Lewis with a knee injury and
the iffy status of Rob Gronkowski, And it begins to look easier and easier to
roll coverage toward Edelman. The Cardinals have the dynamic safeties to make
that option work, also. Edelman enables blanket coverage all day, and this also
like Maclin, Could limit what he does regarding his touches. Stefon Diggs,
minute, At tennessee: The Vikings have picked a starting qb, They just haven't
said can definitely veteran backup Shaun Hill or new arrival Sam Bradford. The
in between status of the career while Bradford eases into the lineup doesn't put
Diggs, The Vikings' best finding option, In a great place for the road trip to
Nashville. He is probably not in the worst place, either one, But the risk is in
fantasy owners not knowing who will start (As of Friday time of day) Or what the
offense may be like until the quarterback situation gets sorted out. for now,
It's fair to expect an even heavier dose of Adrian Peterson than usual. Keep
Diggs in the bench and WR4 mix before offense takes shape. Terrelle Pryor, CLE,
around Philadelphia: A college quarterback who began his business career at the
same position, Pryor is starting to look more natural at wide receiver, Where he
was moved prior last season. Pryor is an incredible athlete listed at 6 4 and
223 pounds, And he has possibility to be a viable deep threat in a passing game
that now looks to push the ball downfield. Preseason signs were guaranteeing
that Pryor was ready to take the next step. We won't be sure until we see live
game action. Pryor has limited time to claim a big role with Josh Gordon serving
a four game insides.
