Cam Newton (-2) – Even if the Panthers bring in a veteran
WR (Reggie Wayne?) the loss of Benjamin is going to sting.
EJ Manuel (-8) – Manuel appears to have fallen to third
string behind Cassel and Tyrod Taylor. Ouch.
Running Backs
DeMarco Murray (-4) – The Eagles will run the ball plenty
and Murray will certainly be the lead back, but Chip Kelly’s
comments earlier this week about using more of a RBBC approach
are enough to drop Murray into Tier2.
LeSean McCoy (-3) – McCoy’s ADP will likely dip a
few points after he injured his hamstring earlier this week but
he is expected to be ready for Week 1.
Jonathan Stewart (+2) – The Panthers will lean on the running
game even more with Benjamin (ACL) out for the year.
Ameer Abdullah (+7) – Abdullah’s ADP has skyrocketed
now that the general public is starting to see him in action.
Bell will still be a part of the mix but the talent difference
is obvious.
Chris Johnson (New) – The Cardinals are looking for answers
in the backfield. I still think Ellington is the back to own.
Wide Receivers
Kelvin Benjamin (dropped) – Benjamin will miss the 2015
season with an ACL injury.
Devin
Funchess (+35) – Funchess becomes the de facto No.1 wideout
even though he’s not ready for the gig. Philly Brown’s stock is
also on the rise.
Brandon Coleman (+25) – Coleman is climbing in the depth
chart in New Orleans. He’s third in line behind Cooks and
Colston.
Kevin White (-30) – The Bears’ rookie wideout needs
surgery to repair a stress fracture. He’ll miss at least
the first six games.
Tight Ends
Martellus Bennett (+1) – Losing White (see above) cements
Bennett’s target opportunity in 2015.
