The NFL season is quickly approaching, and fantasy football draft season is in full swing. As players prepare for their drafts, experts are pinpointing potential league-winners for the upcoming season. One position to keep an eye on is wide receiver.
Seattle Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf is expected to have a standout season under the team’s new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. Grubb’s system is designed to feature one primary receiver, and Metcalf has been identified as the player who will benefit from this setup. With his speed and physicality, Metcalf is poised to have a big fantasy impact this season.
Another receiver to watch is Panthers’ Diontae Johnson, who had a breakout campaign with the Steelers last year. Johnson has moved to Carolina, where the new head coach plans to utilize him in a similar way to how Mike Evans was featured in the Buccaneers’ offense. Johnson’s versatility and ability to make plays all over the field make him a valuable fantasy asset.
While many fantasy players are focused on high-profile receivers in the early rounds, experts suggest that players like Metcalf and Johnson offer significant upside at a cheaper price. Understanding the value of players in key positions is crucial to winning a fantasy football league.
