T.Y Hilton is another fantasy “whack-a-mole” player that wins a gold medal. Hilton has a knack for getting open and for long catches. However, with that comes games with 1 catch for 6 yards. Even as a Colts fan, I try to stay away from him for this problem. When it comes to fantasy football, I prefer production over name recognition. Hilton is a player that I’d put in when the opposing defense is bad and take out when they’re good. However, Andrew Luck never stops trying to win and has a cannon for an arm. He’s a third-round good pick, fourth-round home run if you can get him then.

A.J Green has all the talent in the world but has Andy Dalton for his QB. Green is someone who has great talent but limited by not only his QB but the offensive line and the division he plays in. The AFC North has great defenses and plays those teams 6 games a year limited his production and stats. He’s a third-round pick with second-round upside.

Keenan Allen has an injury problem but Phillip Rivers is consistently an underrated QB. I had Rivers and grabbed him in the 12th round last year and he was money all season. As long as Rivers does well, Allen will be a second-round talent but I’d take him in the third or even fourth for killer value due to his injury history.

Amari Cooper was shipped off to the Cowboys at the beginning of last season, helping along the downward spiral for Oakland’s 4-12 season. Cooper showed that he’s not a product of the Oakland system, but rather a good WR in any system he can play in. The Cowboys tend to run first with Elliot and their offensive line, however, he’s still a third-round pick with possible first-round talent in that system.

The Rams made it to the Super Bowl last year and would’ve played better if they had just stayed home. Jared Goff played well last year while throwing 32 touchdowns, but the Rams are clearly a run-first offense with Todd Gurley as their running back. Woods is a better PPR league pick in the third round with 86 catches but only 6 touchdowns. He’s a fourth in standard and a third in PPR leagues.
