Fantasy football managers are preparing for another season and looking for players who can deliver high value for their rosters. This year, several names are standing out as top selections with the potential to make a significant impact.
Puka Nacua, wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, is coming off a strong season where he posted one of the highest points-per-game averages among receivers in PPR formats despite missing over six games due to injuries. With Cooper Kupp out and Davante Adams in, Nacua is expected to remain a major target for quarterback Matthew Stafford. Last season, among receivers with at least 75 catches, Nacua ranked second in yards after catch per reception.
Ashton Jeanty, rookie running back for the Las Vegas Raiders, also draws attention despite questions about his draft price. Jeanty demonstrated versatility as a dual-threat back at Boise State and enters an environment with little competition for touches and leadership from head coach Pete Carroll.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen remains a popular choice for fantasy players. After earning MVP honors last season and leading the league in fantasy points per rush, Allen’s consistency is noted by projections placing him among the top quarterbacks again this year.
Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals running back, finishes last season as RB10 according to PFSN rankings. Brown averaged nearly 24 touches over his last eight games and projects to continue as an every-down back.
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels showed promise as last year’s rookie of the year. With new additions on offense such as Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel Sr., Daniels aims for another high finish among quarterbacks.
Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints remains consistent as a dual-threat option in PPR leagues. Despite missing three games last season, his involvement should not decrease given current team depth.
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers had a record-setting rookie campaign and benefits from team upgrades including rookie Ashton Jeanty and veteran quarterback Geno Smith.
Finally, Marvin Harrison Jr., wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, is highlighted after his rookie season fell short of some expectations but included respectable numbers: 62 catches for 885 yards and eight touchdowns. Harrison saw only a 22.2 percent target share but made offseason adjustments to improve performance. Projections place him at 74 receptions for 1,056 yards and nine touchdowns this coming season.
These athletes are regarded by many experts as having potential “league-winning” upside heading into fantasy drafts this year.
