As any reader of the Morning Huddle knows, we are longtime fans of Fantasy Points. Why? Here’s what the life of a Fantasy Points subscriber looks like: 

In 2019, Scott Barrett convinced you to draft Lamar Jackson as a sophomore, when his ADP is lower than Jared Goff’s. In Amon-Ra St. Brown’s rookie year, you snagged him in the third-round of your dynasty rookie draft after reading St. Brown’s pre-draft profile. 

Last offseason? You added Puka Nacua in the preseason after listening to Brett Whitfield praise the then-unknown rookie. Yes, Fantasy Points is an investment in your fantasy football season that you’ll wish you made sooner.

Over the past few months, they’ve published Graham Barfield’s Underdog BestBall Rankings, League Winners and Targets and the Fantasy Impact of New Playcallers. Cheat sheets, rankings and more. We’re huge fans, and partnered with them because they’ll help you win your leagues.

RISERS

Goff the Charts

Dome Goff // USA Today

Lions QB Jared Goff. Per Ryan Weisse of FootballGuys: “When looking at only his indoor games, Goff has a 17-game pace of 4650 yards and 36 TDs. Those statistics would have led the league last season, and "Dome Goff" would have been the best quarterback in fantasy. Goff throws more than double the touchdowns per game indoors.”

Why this matters: In 2024, the Lions play 14 of their 17 games inside a dome or retractable roof. Buy Goff.

Bills RB James Cook. Per the staff at Fantasy Points, Cook averaged 17 carries for 15.6 fantasy points per game in his nine contests under new offensive coordinator Joe Brady (postseason included). While Cook has scored just 4 rushing TDs on 326 carries (thanks, Josh Allen), he has underrated upside if he can squeeze in a few more goal-line opportunities in one of the NFL’s best offenses.

Bengals RB Chase Brown has taken the majority of first team reps at RB. Yes, you read that right. 🚨 Per Jeff Bell of FootballGuys, “Brown, as the clear starter in a strong Bengals offense, will instantly push into the Top 20 of dynasty rankings.” Brown is also fast - “he hit a top speed of 22.05, the second fastest ball carrier speed of the season behind DK Metcalf’s 22.23 in Week 13 and narrowly edging Tyreek Hill’s 22.01 in Week 5.”

Lions WR Jameson Williams has league-winning upside, but consistency and playing time have always held him back. The latest word from Lions camp, though, is that he’s pushing to be a full-time starter and making big strides this offseason:

Packers WR Christian Watson is the true alpha in Green Bay.👇
