I thought it might be a useful exercise to see exactly who I own on all 5 of my fantasy teams (2 keeper leagues and 3 dynasty). The number of teams each player is on is in parentheses. The players are in no particular order, other than most teams to least:
QB Matt Corral (3): I drafted Corral once last year, because I think the kid has an arm like nobody I’ve seen since Marino. He got hurt in preseason, so he never saw the field. The Panthers got impatient and took Bryce Young this year, and then lost Corral to the Patriots on waivers. HUGE mistake! Regardless, Corral is a cheap add and stash this year, and I did in my deeper leagues.
QB Derek Carr (2): As a Raider fan, I had Carr in two leagues last year. I never got rid of him. I still think he’s a good QB, although the QB market is moving away from his style of play. He could still do well with New Orleans.
QB Aidan O’Connell (2): A dirt cheap pickup in leagues this year. This Raiders backup just looked sharp in preseason. A stash pickup/late draft pick.
QB Daniel Jones (2): This year’s Jalen Hurts, maybe. If WR Jalin Hyatt can give Jones the deep threat he needs, the rest of the offense is there. Regardless, Danny’s 700+ rushing yards last year bode well for fantasy this year.
QB Malik Willis (1)
QB Tyson Bagent (1)
QB Tyler Huntley (1)
QB Tyrod Taylor (1)
QB Cooper Rush (1)
QB Jake Browning (1)
QB Davis Mills (1)
QB Max Duggan (1)
QB Stetson Bennett (1)
QB Jimmy Garoppolo (1)
QB Joshua Dobbs (1)
QB Trey Lance (1)
QB Jalen Hurts (1)
QB Jordan Love (1)
QB Trevor Lawrence (1)
RB Rhamondre Stevenson (3): I drafted him last year, I drafted him this year. He’s just a darned good RB who doesn’t cost too much.
RB Rashaad Penny (3): Penny is a bit of a gamble on my part. When he plays, he’s gold. Yes, injury history assumed, but he’s just so dirt cheap for the best RB on a team with the Eagles offensive line, and he’s likely the early down back. If he stays healthy, this becomes a league winner.
RB Tyler Allgeier (3): A guy I drafted a couple of times last year, and picked up cheap this year in a deep league to backup Bijan. If the Falcons rest Bijan a lot, Allgeier could pay off anyway.
RB James Conner (2): It seems every time I assume somebody else’s abandoned fantasy team, there’s Conner! He’s not the worst guy to have on a team, but I’d never add him. On the other hand, I can’t trade him for anything either.
RB Deon Jackson (2): I tease an Indy fan I work with about the “Deon Jackson era starting in Indy!” Seriously though, he’s cheap, and…he’s starting! He’s also a better receiving back than Nyheim Hines.
RB D’Onta Foreman (2): Foreman surprised me last year by looking good with Carolina. Now he’s with Chicago, and I expect more of the same, although Herbert is the starter. If the Bears offense can get going, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Foreman vulture the goal line td’s. Did I mention he’s cheap?
RB Antonio Gibson (1)
RB Zamir White (1)
RB Jamaal Williams (1)
RB Brian Robinson (1)
RB AJ Dillon (1)
RB Kendre Miller (1)
RB Cordarelle Patterson (1)
RB Snoop Conner (1)
RB Cam Akers (1)
RB Bijan Robinson (1)
RB Travis Etienne (1)
RB Nyheim Hines (1)
RB Breece Hall (1)
RB Tank Bigsby (1)
RB Christian McCaffrey (1)
RB Jahmyr Gibbs (1)
RB Zach Charbonnet (1)
RB Chuba Hubbard (1)
WR Davante Adams (2): This shouldn’t require any explanation. Even in a Josh McDummie offense, Davante balls out.
WR Rashid Shaheed (2): A surprisingly good WR2 for New Orleans flies under the radar. Cheap pickup.
WR Hunter Renfrow (2): I still love this kid. I hope he can get healthy and start producing again.
WR Jalin Hyatt (2): Hyatt is the key to the Giants becoming an offensive juggernaut this year and in coming years.
WR Mike Williams (1)
WR Parris Campbell (1)
WR Mack Hollins (1)
WR Laviska Shenault (1)
WR Chase Claypool (1)

WR Garrett Wilson (1)
WR Quentin Johnston (1)
WR Jerry Jeudy (1)
WR Romeo Doubs (1)
WR Jameson Williams (1)

TE Luke Musgrave (4): A 6’6", 253 lb starting TE for the Packers, quarterbacked by a new QB? One of the top TE prospects in the draft this year? And dirt cheap in nearly any kind of draft? Why not take this chance? The upside is amazing!
TE Isaiah Likely (3): Likely is more WR than TE. With the Ravens allegedly going to be passing more, Likely could be a beneficiary. Plus the kid has stickem hands.
TE Kyle Pitts (2): Pitts is a generational talent. Own him where you can.
TE Chig Okonkwo (1)
TE C.J. Uzomah (1)
TE Peyton Hendershot (1)
TE Jeremy Ruckert (1)
TE Sam LaPorta (1)
TE Robert Tonyan (1)
TE Austin Hooper (1)
K Younghoe Koo (2): This is almost a sentimental pick for me. My dad, who died in December, loved the Falcons. I remember watching Falcons games with him, and him teasingly saying, “KOOOOOO!” whenever Koo came on for a kick (which was often). But seriously, Koo is a darned good kicker.
K Daniel Carlson (1)
K Jake Elliott (1)
DEF New Orleans (3): Just look at the Saints first 6 weeks: TEN, CAR, GB, TB, NE, and HOU. That defense should feast to start the season.
DEF Baltimore (1)
DEF Houston (1)
