Six offenses are pegged as potential busts this fantasy season in a brand-new Yahoo Fantasy Forecast, with the discussion centering on ADP versus Wisdom of Crowd projections and what that means for the top fantasy names on those teams. The Raiders, Cardinals, Vikings, Falcons, Seahawks, Dolphins, and Jets loom as high-draft risks, while the conversation zeroes in on the plausible paths these units could take to underperform and how that shapes decisions for Week 1 and beyond. The chat keeps a critical eye on efficiency, pace, and matchup turbulence that could mute expected ceilings for star skill players.

Raiders, Cardinals, and the Vikings plus Falcons come into focus as the clearest risk clusters, where coaching decisions, quarterback health, or architectural shifts could curb big-play upside. Seattle and Miami are questioned for tempo and play-calling, while the Jets are scrutinized for how quickly their upgraded offense might gel. Fantasy managers are reminded not to chase ADP blindly and to consider safer pivots and smarter rostering moves as the season unfolds.

Arizona Cardinals waived Kelly Akharaiyi after signing him just last week, signaling another shuffle as they pare the roster ahead of the final preseason game. With 53-man cuts looming, the team is poised to address depth questions, particularly after Akharaiyi didn’t see action in the Broncos game. The move underscores the Cards’ focus on tight competition at receiver while also keeping an eye on fortifying the interior line as Hayden Conner deals with a knee injury.

Two interior offensive linemen reportedly auditioned for the Cardinals, a clear sign they’ll be adding protection and depth up front if Conner’s knee limits his availability. The WR depth is sufficient for preseason reps, so Akharaiyi’s exit doesn’t immediately sting the rotation. The 53-man decision timeline looms large, and Cards coverage via Rise Up, See Red will continue to track who survives and who lands elsewhere after Tuesday’s roster finalization.

New Orleans is slicing the quarterback competition down to the wire, with Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler splitting first-team reps as a Denver preseason clash looms. Both have flashed at different angles in camp, leaving the Week 1 decision as a true coin flip and giving fantasy managers plenty to monitor in the final days of camp.

Rattler has delivered 71.4% accuracy for 252 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception, while Shough has gone 70.6% for 231 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception; sacks have highlighted offensive-line and schematic questions. The tight gap in reps and results keeps the outcome fluid and the Saints' passing volume uncertain early in the season.

Moore indicated the decision will come after three days of practice and a game, joking about a deadline tied to facing the Cardinals. The winner’s control over cadence, play-action and shot plays will shape the Saints’ fantasy upside in September, with targets and volume swinging based on who wins the job.

Week 1 stacks the NFC West and a marquee Kickoff matchup: 49ers at Seahawks headline the division duel, Rams sit as +200 NFC West odds, and Cardinals at +380 sit further down the pecking order. Cincinnati meets Cleveland in a season-opening clash, while Dallas hosts Philadelphia in the Kickoff Game. Those matchups shape early futures and fantasy angles, especially with Burrow leading CIN and a Browns club still evaluating QB options. The promo and schedule together set up a useful early-season bankroll-angle for savvy bettors and fantasy players alike.

Denver inventories an ACL setback for Nick Gargiulo after a preseason collision, sidelining a seventh-round rookie who had been pushing for a swing guard/center role. Sean Payton confirmed the season-ending injury to Gargiulo, compounding Denver’s alignment questions along the interior line. Gargiulo’s absence tightens the Broncos’ path to roster decisions and creates immediate depth concerns as cuts loom.

Meanwhile, the injury report also notes others not practicing, with Mathis listed as undisclosed but deemed fine by Payton. On the brighter side, Bonitto, Greenlaw, Perry, and Pickett returned to practice. Adkins’ ankle loss signals a potential waiver-wire search for a blocking tight end/fullback, and the Broncos may lean on depth pieces or a short-term add as they finalize roster plans.
