5 Fantasy Football Players to Target on Draft Day: Kupp, Samuel, Love & More

Quarterback to Watch: Jordan Love

• 🏈 Jordan Love is a strong fantasy target, especially if the Packers increase their pass volume, potentially making him a top 12 quarterback again.
• 💡 Despite injury last year, he still averaged 8 yards per attempt and a 5.9% touchdown rate, showing his potential.
• 🌱 The addition of a first-round wide receiver in the draft and strong training camp performance from Matthew Golden could further boost his numbers.

Running Back Considerations: Tony Pollard

• 🏃 Tony Pollard has consistently delivered over 1,000 rushing yards and around 45 receptions in each of the last three seasons.
• 🎯 With a more functional offense expected under Cam Akers, he could surpass last year's five touchdowns.
• 📈 His efficiency, with a career average of over 4 yards per carry, could return to over 5 yards per carry if the passing game becomes a true threat.

Consistent Wide Receiver: Jakobi Meyers

• 🎯 Jakobi Meyers is a reliable wide receiver who often falls too late in full PPR drafts, typically finishing as a top 30 player when healthy.
• 🌟 He's a solid choice for a consistent wide receiver three, projected to see 110-120 targets and catch two-thirds of them.
• ✅ An upgrade at quarterback and offensive coordinator, coupled with his role as the clear WR1 for the Raiders, solidifies his value.

Veteran Wide Receiver Value: Cooper Kupp

• 🌟 Cooper Kupp, despite being 32, showed significant potential in the first nine games last season, projecting for 171 targets, 119 catches, 1,241 yards, and 11 touchdowns.
• 🏥 He appears healthy and is settling into a slot-heavy role in Clint Kubiak's offense, making him a potential low-end number two receiver in full PPR.
• 🎯 His target volume in that stretch was high, even with Puka Nacua also performing well, indicating a strong role if Stafford stays healthy.

Bounce-Back Candidate: Deebo Samuel

• 🤕 Deebo Samuel may be easy to forget after an injury-plagued season, but he was not healthy and battled pneumonia.
• 🎯 His role in the offense and target distribution were affected, but new offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury admired him previously.
• 🚀 With potential for 25-35 rushing attempts and a strong rapport with Jaden Daniels, he is positioned to be a high-end wide receiver three.
