Fantasy football

 Keon Coleman

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/keon-coleman-fantasy-outlook-2024/ Could be Josh Allen's top target. Silas is high on him.

https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-breakout-quarterbacks-for-2024
Jayden Daniels - big fantasy potential for his scrambling (8.10)

Trevor Lawrence - has had good stretches - offense is improved (10.08)

RB;

TE:

https://www.pff.com/news/fantasy-football-breakout-tight-ends-for-2024
Kyle Pitts (5.11) - should be utilized better - will have better QB. Has been great last 3 years but not used well for fantasy purposes.

Jake Ferguson (7.08) - looking up

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/breakout-fantasy-players-afc-2024/

Zay Flowers - BAL WR

Khalil Shakir - BUF WR
Zack Moss - CIN RB -Mixon gone, competing with Chase Brown for touches
Jerome Ford - CLE RB
Jaleel McLaughlin - DEN WR
Tank Dell - HOU WR
Anthony Richardson - IND QB - dual threat 
Brian Thomas Jr. - JAX WR - rookie
Rashee Rice - KC WR - elite if playing 
Brock Bowers - LV TE - very positive
Ladd McConkey - LA WR - room opening up for him
Jaylen Wright - MIA RB - yes, another one
Ja'Lynn Polk- NE WR
Garrett Wilson - NYJ WR
Jaylen Warren - PIT RB - way more efficient than Najee last year - but ADP 25 back
Tyjae Spears - TEN RB - very efficient last year

https://www.rotoballer.com/fantasy-football-breakout-candidates-for-2024/1392387

Tyjae Spears - efficiency - good receiver
Rashid Shaheed - NO WR - probably WR2 - has been good in limited time - Saints got former 49ers offensive coordinator, which bodes well
