Michael
Pittman Jr. Transitioning from Carson Wentz to Matt
Ryan means the Colts' pass-catchers are in for a big upgrade under
center. Ryan has a long history of peppering his top receiver
with targets (Roddy White, Julio Jones, Harry Douglas, Calvin
Ridley), so Pittman should be in great shape to see a career high
in targets AND get more accurate balls thrown his way than he
did last year. – Doug Orth
Deebo
Samuel. when you look at combined
numbers, there wasn’t a huge gap between Kupp (1,965 combined
yards, 16 TDs) and Samuel (1,770, 14) last year, and that was
with game manager extraordinaire Jimmy G at the helm. Trey Lance’s
athleticism adds another gear to that offense, and Samuel should
be the focal point. – HC Green
Allen
Robinson. Robinson was missing in
action last season through no fault of his own (horrible quarterback
play), but with all defensive eyes on the record-setting Kupp,
the Matthew Stafford-to-Robinson connection could be a 1,200-yard,
10-TD fantasy play. – Steve Schwarz
Keenan
Allen. It would have to be someone
who could command nearly 200 targets, as Kupp did last year. The
Chargers great was targeted nearly 10 times per game and is the
most reliable wideout for one of the league’s most talented
young slingers. – Joseph Hutchins
JuJu
Smith-Schuster. Look, the chances
of someone actually being "this season's Cooper Kupp" and finishing
as one of the top-scoring wide receivers of all-time after being
drafted in Round 4 are minuscule. But Smith-Schuster is a player
who could significantly outproduce his ADP due to similar circumstances,
including a massive quarterback upgrade, and he's been a WR1 for
fantasy before. – Nick Caron
Justin
Jefferson. He's already produced
two elite seasons so far in his short NFL career, and he'll be
practically cosplaying as Kupp in a new offense brought in from
former Rams offensive coach Kevin O'Connell. Plenty of negative
game scripts and a quarterback not afraid to cut loose also helps.
– Colby Cavaliere
Allen
Robinson. The 29-year-old is physical,
fast, smart, and durable and has averaged over 900 yards per season
and nearly 6 TD’s per year in his seven full seasons on very bad
teams without a legitimate QB. Now he joins a prolific passer
in QB Matthew Stafford, in a wide-open offense where Cooper Kupp
will likely draw coverage, leaving Robinson with favorable matchups
and a big role as a red zone target. – Ken Ilchuk
Rashod
Bateman has a chance to be a Tier 1 fantasy WR this
season. I don’t think he’ll get in the statistical stratosphere
as Kupp since the Rams WR was already so good and his breakout
campaign was more of a coronation, but he could be looking at
125+ targets if things go as well. He may be a raw and largely
unproven asset but 90-plus catches, 1,200-plus yards and 8-10
TDs are within reach. – Antonio D’Arcangelis
CeeDee
Lamb. It's not so much that Lamb
will in any way equal what Kupp produced last year, but I think
he is set for a leap forward that is at least reminiscent of what
Kupp did in 2021. With Cooper and Wilson no longer in Dallas,
he'll be targeted early and often. – Kirk Hollis
CeeDee
Lamb. No Cooper and no Gallup (to
start) and this offense will throw a lot. Look for 10 targets
per game with Lamb moving all over the formation. – Bill Anderson
Courtland
Sutton. The AFC West is loaded with
offense giving the Broncos six potential shootout contests included
in their relatively soft schedule (Seahawks, Texans, Jets, Jaguars,
Panthers). Can Nathaniel Hackett and OC Justin Outten orchestrate
an offense to make this happen? – Mike Krueger
