“The DFS industry won’t scale to it’s full potential unless the average skill level of players increases.

We are the gold standard in the third party tools market that seeks to catalyze this change.”

Player Reasoning

Aaron Rodgers

● The most talented quarterback in the league should have much better support from his receivers and gets Jordy Nelson back

Tyrod Taylor

● Great deep ball thrower with Sammy Watkins to throw to. One of the most consistent QBs last year thanks to his rushing ability and expect him to continue to put up 30 - 40 yards a game

Dak Prescott

● Gifted the best possible situation for a QB: the best offensive line, a top-flight WR, and a stud RB. His big arm and great scrambling ability should turn him into a fantasy beast.

Marcus Mariota

● When he has time in the pocket, he can be an elite fantasy player. The Titan’s offense is still questionable. However, his rushing numbers should improve this year and Derrick Henry will help.

WRs to Watch

4

Player Reasoning

DeAndre Hopkins

● Improves year over year consistently and has a complete game. Brock Osweiler will be a huge upgrade over Brian Hoyer and a little more WR depth should open up some coverage for him.

Jordy Nelson

● Health and explosiveness still in doubt after ACL tear. Having the Top QB and a solid offensive line, though, I expect him to catch over 1200 yards and 8+ TDs.

Tajae Sharpe

● One of the top WRs in college football that no one has really heard of. He is being thrust into a starting role in what should be a much improved offense.

Sammy Watkins

● One of the top 5 most talented receivers gets force fed the ball from Tyrod Taylor. Should be healthier this year after some foot issues.

RBs to Watch

5

Player Reasoning

Le’Veon Bell

● No one in the league combines being a true 3-down back with his top end talent. In one of the league’s best offenses, he should catch around 50 balls even with the suspension.

Ezekiel Elliott

● Another true 3-down back with sky high expectations, he should deliver playing behind the best offensive line in the NFL. His receiving usage is the only major question mark.

James White

● With Dion Lewis out he will be a huge part of their passing game but don’t expect any rushing yards from him. 50 - 60 catches is very reasonable.

Eddie Lacy

● After being fat and out of shape, he seems to have slimmed down this season. With a great offensive line and what will be a much improved unit, I am bullish on most of the Packers offense.

TEs to Watch

6

Player Reasoning

Rob Gronkowski

● No question who will be the top TE this year, really no explanation needed. The man is a beast

Delanie Walker

● After leading the league in TE targets last year, I don’t expect much to change

Austin Seferian-Jenkins

● With amazing size, speed, and athleticism I think he can really break through this year. Questions about his focus, work ethic, and usage still linger but TE is a very weak position

Julius Thomas

● Bortles is improving every year and after he returned from injury last year he was one of the top TEs in the league

DEFs to Watch

7

Team Reasoning

Denver Broncos

● This defense boasts the top front seven in the league paired with with arguably the top secondary. Hard to imagine them not being the top defense at the end of the year.

New England Patriots

● One of the best pass rushing teams, which drives the most fantasy points. They will give up some big plays but also create some big plays.

Oakland Raiders

● Khalil Mack is an absolute stud. This unit is a year older and now more consistent in the secondary and the front seven.

Buffalo Bills

● A Rex Ryan defense with a very good secondary. I think their defensive line play will be much improved this year.

Teams to Stack

8

Team Reasoning

Arizona Cardinals

● Bruce Arians doesn’t ever take his foot of the pedal which will be important for the games they are blowing out teams

● Three top WRs and one of the most talented RBs in football

Oakland Raiders

● Derek Carr improving consistently, offensive line one of the best in the league

● Cooper, Crabtree, and Murray will have some monster games this year

Green Bay Packers

● Jordy Nelson coming back puts this offense in an elite level ● A middle of the road defense that is prone to give up big plays should

lead to some shootouts

Pittsburgh Steelers

● Elite QB, WRs, and RB with a terrible defense is a recipe for monster fantasy games
