Trey Benson (RB Arizona Cardinals)

Benson a rookie, will start the season behind James Conner. Conner last season saw fantasy success when on the field for the Cardinals in his age 28 season. Now that Conner is going into his age 29 season and a history of injuries, Trey Benson is knocking at the door. When Benson gets his opportunity, it will be on an improved Cardinals offense from last year. Benson is being drafted late in drafts right now and has the upside to be a top 12 running back if Conner goes down.

Zach Moss (RB Cincinnati Bengals)

Everyone can agree that Joe Mixon is not the most talented running back in the NFL but in Cincinnati he was one of the most consistent fantasy backs over his tenure. Moss is being drafted in the 24-32 range of running backs in any format and is in line to take over the majority of carries in Cincinnati. Moss had breakout weeks last year for the Colts when Jonathan Taylor was injured so we should see similar weeks in Cincinnati.

Keon Coleman (WR Buffalo Bills)

Keon Coleman’s transition from basketball to football has been remarkable, and he’s now poised to make a significant impact as a wide receiver. Standing at 6’4” with impressive athleticism, Coleman has the physical tools to dominate opposing defenses. For the last four years, Josh Allen has thrown for over 4,200 yards, and in three of those years, he threw for at least 35 touchdowns. Someone needs to occupy the vacated targets from Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davies, it should be the guy the Bills spent their #33 overall pick on.

Jayden Reed (WR Green Bay Packers)

Jayden Reed showed out at the end of the 2023 season. The Packers made it a point to game plan for Reed in the second half of the season, leading to his breakout performance. Reed finished top-12 in 33% of his games in 2023, demonstrating his ability to be a game-changer. With the Packers boasting the 2nd best WR strength of schedule he is poised to continue those top 12 finishes in 2024. Ranking 4th in fantasy points per snap, according to Andrew Erickson, Reed is a prime candidate to exceed expectations. Hope the price stays down because Reed could be a fantasy league winner.

Diontae Johnson (WR Carolina Panthers)

Diontae Johnson has consistently been a reliable option in PPR leagues, but his potential for a breakout season remains high. Johnson’s ability to create separation and his target share in the Steelers’ offense have made him a lock to be at least a WR3 every season. In Carolina he will slot in to be their number one wide receiver in an improved offense under Dave Canales. If Bryce Young takes a step forward expect Diontae Johnson to have a monster season in Carolina this year.
