During the preseason, I promised to deliver updated projections each quarter in an effort to help fantasy owners plan for the immediate and near future. Because I’m covering all 32 teams this week and there is a lot to cover, I’m going to get right to it.

At least this time around, I’ve chosen to identify a “buy” or “sell” candidate as well as a potential breakout player for each team over the next month. Depending on the feedback I receive on this piece, I may do the same when I attempt to project the third and fourth quarters of the season following Weeks 8 and 12.

Here’s a quick refresher of what each of the colors mean in each team’s projection chart below:

Red – A very difficult matchup. For lower-level players, a red matchup means they should not be used in fantasy that week. For a second- or third-tier player, drop your expectations for them at least one grade that week (i.e. from WR2 to WR3). For elite players, expect them to perform one level lower than their usual status (i.e. RB1 performs like a RB2).

Yellow – Keep expectations fairly low in this matchup. For lower-level players, a yellow matchup is a borderline start at best. For a second- or third-tier player, they can probably overcome the matchup if things fall right. For the elite players, expect slightly better than average production.

White – Basically, this is a neutral matchup. In some cases, I just don’t feel like I have a good feel yet for the defense. Generally speaking, these matchups are winnable matchups for all levels of players.

Green – It doesn’t get much better than this. For non-elite players, the stage is basically set for said player to exploit the matchup. For the elite player, this matchup should produce special numbers.

One final note: The gray highlight in each team’s schedule reflects a road game and the numbers above them correspond to the weeks of the season. The age you see by each player will be that player’s age as of September 1, 2015.

Key to the table below:

Sell: Smith. Perhaps last year’s second-half fade is still on the mind, but I’d be tempted to deal the 36-year-old once he returns from his back injury. Time usually does not favor older receivers, so given how physical Smith is, it may be worth it to get ahead of the curve.

Breakout player: Givens. The Ravens drafted Breshad Perriman with the idea that he was going to stretch the field, but he is out indefinitely. Don’t be surprised if the deep ball that Givens was so proficient at tracking down as a rookie for the Rams in 2012 becomes his thing in Baltimore while the team waits on Perriman. Flacco has one of the biggest arms in the league.

Sell: Bernard. Just like I wouldn’t go out and try to pursue Hill this week, I wouldn’t necessarily rush to deal away Bernard any quicker than I have to. The point to be made is that I don’t think his value is going to get much higher. As long as he can stay healthy, Bernard’s going to be a big drain for those owners that were hoping that Hill could replicate 2014. Having said that, the upcoming three games may be a trying time for all those happy Bernard owners in the first quarter of the season.

Breakout player: None.

Sell: Crowell. There’s a fairly decent chance that Crowell isn’t going to bring much back in a trade, but I’d recommend dealing him now if you can get something decent in return. Johnson already showed what he was capable of last week and Robert Turbin is on his way, likely to steal early-down duties.

Breakout player: Turbin. Benjamin has already “broken out”, especially considering he has back-to-back games of 10 targets. I also hesitate to say Barnidge as well since he faces a brutal stretch of defenses over the second quarter of the schedule that can defend the tight end. Cleveland dropped pet project Terrelle Pryor at the end of the preseason in order to pick up Turbin off waivers, which should provide some sense of what the team feels like he can bring. He’s been practicing in limited fashion recently, so he should be able to make his debut in the next week or two.

Sell: Miller. “Old Reliable” is about the only Steeler I would consider selling, but that assumes he has enough value to move in a trade with Bryant back and Roethlisberger hurt. I think Miller will land safely among the top TE2s when all said and done. However, I tend to believe his first two games will be the best he has to offer until Roethlisberger returns and, even then, he’ll probably be just as much hit as miss.

Breakout player: Bryant. This is kind of an easy call since he’s missed the first four games due to suspension. Owners need to keep in mind that he is a touchdown-dependent receiver that will probably have to play up to four games with Vick before he can start generating the value that owners hoped he would when they used a middle-round selection on him this summer. When Big Ben returns, however, he should be a high-end WR3 most weeks.

NFC North

Sell: Bennett. This is a bit of a cautious “sell” simply because there are so few tight ends that produce anywhere close to the level that Bennett does. However, “The Black Unicorn” has long been a strong producer in September and seen his numbers fall off dramatically thereafter. But there’s more to it than that: at some point, Jeffrey should get healthy and Royal will be around to take away a lot of the short targets, possibly leaving Bennett as a touchdown-dependent player.

Breakout player: None.

Sell: I would say Tate here, but most owners have already benched him and some are probably on the verge of cutting him if they haven’t done so already.

Breakout player: Riddick. Still flying under the radar somewhat in PPR leagues, if there is one player that’s going to benefit from the Lions’ lack of running game, it will be their speedy third-down back. I’d argue that his role needs to be scaled back because Abdullah can do the same thing he does, but the Lions obviously do not see things the same way I do.

Sell: Jones. This is another one of those delayed “sells”. As long as Adams is healing from his high-ankle sprain, I suspect Jones will continue producing at the high-end WR2 he has been up to now. However, the lack of targets concern me, even in an offense as efficient as this one. I think he’ll be a solid WR3 all season long, but fantasy is about maximizing value and knowing when to get in as well is when to get out.

Breakout player: Montgomery. As long as Aaron Rodgers has been the quarterback in Green Bay, he’s generally been able to make at least three receivers viable in fantasy. Just because Adams is out, that doesn’t mean the passing game is all about Cobb and Jones. The Packers are creating ways to get the ball in the rookie’s hands and it is entirely possible that he ends up overtaking (or at least sharing time with) Adams by the time he gets back.

Sell: Johnson. Read Tate above.

Breakout player: Diggs. It’s not uncommon for a player to complement another player at the same position he plays at, but Wallace went above and beyond the call in Week 4. Diggs was wildly impressive against Denver, likely fast-tracking Cordarrelle Patterson’s exit out of Minnesota and possibly stealing Wright’s job in the slot. The main reason Diggs wasn’t a first- or second-day pick this spring was his inability to stay healthy in college at Maryland. At the very least, dynasty leaguers should take note.
