Dave’s CBS-centric undervalued targets showcase Brian Thomas Jr., Rome Odunze, Ladd McConkey, J.K. Dobbins, Tucker Kraft and Dameon Pierce/Woody Marks as smart late-draft targets. Trevor Lawrence’s health and A.J. Brown’s price anchor the narrative, while Odunze could breakout in Chicago and Kraft in Green Bay. The piece leans into Round-2 WRs, deep RBs and a tight end sleeper path, guiding CBS-due value hunters through Week 1 planning.

David Njoku rises as a sleeper in 2025, buoyed by healthier health and Joe Flacco’s return to Cleveland, while the model flags C.J. Stroud’s sophomore-year volatility and Travis Kelce’s high upside with elevated variance. RJ Harvey lands as a breakout candidate for 2025, with A.J. Brown amid the mix of stars and sleepers and Ridley pegged as a bust risk given roster and QB concerns. The piece tees up a full SportsLine cheat sheet for every position, highlighting breakouts, sleepers and fades.

18 returns to Philly’s lore as Metchie picks the number, linking a fresh Eagles narrative to a storied past. The piece stacks Reagor’s setback against Maclin’s peak while noting Covey’s emergence as a returner and the crowded receiving room around Brown and Smith. Metchie’s path hinges on roster fit and health, likely keeping targets modest as the offense remains star-driven.

In fantasy terms, the headline is about opportunity versus depth: a limited target floor for the newcomer, a potentially negligible role early, and a path to value only if injuries or shifts create a clearer path to catches and red-zone chances.

Dallas swings big by adding George Pickens from Pittsburgh, pairing him with Lamb to form a potent Cowboys duo. Pickens’ quick chemistry with Dak Prescott and Lamb’s safety net could spark a high-volume aerial attack in a run-leaning offense. Fantasy managers should monitor how quickly Pickens commands targets and whether Dallas pushes Prescott into 400-yard games more consistently.

ESPN’s X-factor pick underlines Pickens as Dallas’s potential season-defining move, with Chase-Higgins and Brown-Smith-like upside. If Pickens reaches 1,000 yards and maintains weekly target leadership, Lamb’s ceiling could rise even further, setting up a fantasy-friendly Dallas passing game in 2025.

Terry McLaurin defies the aging-out trend for wide receivers, arguing durability and elite conditioning keep him fast as he nears 30. He highlights a clean injury history and peak-production years to counter analytics that warn against 30-plus production. Washington’s extension after a Metcalf-related negotiation shows teams still value proven performance over calendar age.

McLaurin’s message to doubters ties directly to market dynamics, where contract talks and the evolving WR landscape favor production and health. The discussion also spotlights Metcalf’s Steelers move and the broader reality that top-tier receivers can sustain elite play into their 30s if they stay durable and productive.
