Kirk Cousins ​​(QA, Minnesota Vikings): Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson… Kirk Cousins’ passing options against the poor Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be plentiful.
Lamar Jackson (QA, Baltimore Ravens): Mobile quarterbacks always pay the most. Plus, Jackson has new targets and the Houston Texans defense will pay the price.
James Conner (DO, Arizona Cardinals): A lot of people turn their noses up at Conner because he plays in Arizona. But since the Cardinals’ offense is anemic, the running back will often have the ball in his hands.
Josh Jacobs (DO, Las Vegas Raiders): The Denver Broncos defense will be tenacious, but Jacobs is mighty as a bear. The running back will still be used extensively in Josh McDaniels’ attacking scheme.
D.K. Metcalf (R, Seattle Seahawks): It will be a long season for the Los Angeles Rams and their first game will be tough, as they will be unable to counter the imposing D.K. Metcalf. Quarterback Geno Smith will look to him in all situations.
Deebo Samuel (R, San Francisco 49ers): The Niners’ biggest threat remains running back Christian McCaffrey, but watch out for Samuel. The receiver can catch and run, and even if he’s playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, he’ll find a way to put up points.
Dallas Goedert (AR, Philadelphia Eagles): While the New England Patriots defense will have their hands full with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, the tight end could be left behind. Quarterback Jalen Hurts will find it.
Kyle Pitts (AR, Atlanta Falcons): He missed his team’s final six games last season, but healthy, Kyle Pitts remains a prime target for the Falcons. Against the porous Carolina Panthers defense, he could have fun.
Russell Wilson (QA, Denver Broncos): In the long run, the magic of coach Sean Payton could pay off for Russell Wilson. But not early in the season, especially against the Las Vegas Raiders defensive line.
Anthony Richardson (QA, Indianapolis Colts): Anthony Richardson will be very good. In a few years, he will be unmissable in the different pools, but for his first career match, expectations will have to be lowered.
Joe Mixon (DO, Cincinnati Bengals): The Bengals’ offensive identity is defined by aerial play. Facing the fierce Cleveland Browns defensive line, Mixon’s use could be reduced.
Cam Akers (DO, Los Angeles Rams): Akers’ final season was extremely frustrating. There is little chance of that changing this season.
DeAndre Hopkins (R, Tennessee Titans): DeAndre Hopkins arrives in Tennessee thinking of saving the Titans. However, he will quickly realize that Ryan Tannehill has some limitations.
Juju Smith-Schuster (R, New England Patriots): Smith-Schuster will be playing his first game in a Pats uniform. Making his debut against the Philadelphia Eagles will not give him the desired baptism.
Cole Kmet (AR, Chicago Bears): Justin Fields will run wild again this year. He will also want to familiarize himself with his new receiver D.J. Moore, leaving Kmet aside for the opening game.
Logan Thomas (AR, Washington Commanders): If the Commanders produce anything this season, it will be through the run. Thomas will find the time long against the Atlanta Falcons.
