Arizona Cardinals

This should be the season where we get closer to a verdict on Marvin Harrison Jr. He’s been a relative disappointment with respect to his NFL draft slot, and it’s telling that Michael Wilson dramatically outplayed Harrison last year. Everything is new in Arizona this fall — new head coach, new quarterbacks (aside from the returning Jacoby Brissett), new offensive designer. Harrison’s early ADP is about two rounds earlier than Wilson’s, and I won’t blame anyone who prefers to wait for a Wilson pick — or avoids this WR room altogether.

San Francisco 49ers

Brock Purdy was headed for a monster year last season, screened by injury. If you map out his nine games to a full season, we’re looking at 4,093 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes. He was fifth in QB points per start, and this offense looks loaded again this year, especially if WR Mike Evans has something left in the tank. The depth of the QB pool makes a lot of later picks look appealing, but put a star next to Purdy’s current QB14 price. It’s a great year to be patient at this position.

Seattle Seahawks

Most of the Seattle pass-catchers get ignored after Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and that might be a mistake. Rashid Shaheed should be vastly improved in his first full Seattle season, and tight end AJ Barner also offers sleeper value. Barner scored six times on a modest 68 targets last year, and he also picked up nine first downs (and one touchdown) on a surprising 10 rushing attempts. Perhaps Barner is still a wait-and-see option in standard leagues, but I’ve been targeting him in deeper formats and in leagues where scoring is slanted to tight ends. You can land him around Pick 130 in Yahoo.

Los Angeles Rams

Kyren Williams remains the featured back in Los Angeles, no changes there. But make room for Blake Corum in the Circle of Trust. Corum averaged double-digit carries for the final 11 games of 2025, producing at a pace that maps to 179-911-7.7 for a full season. The Rams could turn this backfield into a 60-40 split for the fresh season, which would give Corum stand-alone value from the jump. And if Williams gets hurt or hits any kind of slump, Corum looms as a possible ADP smash. The summer market seems split on Corum’s fantasy value, which is why he’s still available outside Pick 90 in most leagues.
