2016 Fantasy Football Stock Report – Week of June 6


June 13

Ryan Mathews, RB, Eagles
The Eagles are expected to have a running back by committee, per Dave Zangaro, CSN Philly. That’s obviously not good news for Ryan Mathews, though it could potentially help keep him healthy for the end of the regular season.

Steve Smith, WR, Ravens
Steve Smith told the media he doesn’t know when he’s returning from his torn Achilles, according to Jamison Hensley, ESPN. Many believe Smith will be back soon just because he’s Steve Smith, but the fact of that matter is, he’s a guy in his late 30s returning from a brutal injury he sustained seven months ago. He might not be ready for Week 1.





June 12

Victor Cruz, WR, Giants
Victor Cruz isn’t expected to be cleared by minicamp, according to Dan Graziano, ESPN. As I suggested last year, stay away from Cruz entirely. Players simply don’t return from torn patellar tendons.

Breshad Perriman, WR, Ravens
Breshad Perriman sustained a partially torn ACL at practice. It’s possible Perriman could be out for the year, though that’s unclear at the moment.


June 11

Nelson Agholor, WR, Eagles
Nelson Agholor is being investigated for sexual assault. Agholor was already having a poor offseason, and this just makes matters worse. There’s no reason to own Agholor this year.


June 10

C.J. Anderson, RB, Broncos
Gary Kubiak said that C.J. Anderson is ready to be a three-down back. This is obviously significant, as Anderson had just 177 touches in 2015. A greater workload is expected, though that may not be the case if Anderson gets off to another slow start.

Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE, Buccaneers
Austin Seferian-Jenkins was asked to leave practice Wednesday because he “did not know what he was doing.” This is definitely a bad omen for Seferian-Jenkins going forward, who was already rumored to be losing a job to Cameron Brate. Seferian-Jenkins is not draftable right now.





June 9

Nelson Agholor, WR, Eagles
Nelson Agholor hasn’t looked special in practices, per Jeff McLane, Philadelphia Inquirer. Agholor was considered a reach when Chip Kelly took him in the first round, so it’s not a surprise that Agholor hasn’t shown any signs of being a quality starter. Don’t have him on your fantasy radar.

LeSean McCoy, RB, Bills
LeSean McCoy’s not having the best offseason. He got into trouble with the law earlier, and now he’s dealing with a hamstring injury. That may not sound serious, but soft-tissue injuries tend to linger, and it’ll allow Karlos Williams to impress the coaches even more.

Karlos Williams, RB, Bills
Karlos Williams gets an up arrow today because LeSean McCoy is dealing with a hamstring injury. Those sorts of injuries are slow to go away, so Williams now has a golden opportunity to shine.





June 8

Devin Funchess, WR, Panthers
Ron Rivera said that Devin Funchess is “light years” ahead of where he was last season. Chet Gresham commented on this in the Fantasy Football News Report page, “After converting from tight end to wide receiver in college, Funchess had a steep learning curve once entering the NFL, but it appears he is on the right track. We saw this last year as he played well toward the end of the season. With Kelvin Benjamin returning, targets will be tougher to come by, but he may deserve them.”

Vance McDonald, TE, 49ers
Blaine Gabbert and the 49ers’ tight ends coach spent lots of time talking up Vance McDonald. Gabbert won’t have any sort of weapons to throw to, so he figures to target McDonald quite frequently. Gabbert is too scared to go downfield often, so McDonald could become a solid PPR TE2 option.

Julius Thomas, TE, Jaguars
Gus Bradley told the media that Julius Thomas is having a great offseason. Thomas was horrible last year, but it sounds like he’s ready to bounce back. Unfortunately, he’s not undervalued enough at his 9.09 ADP.




June 6

T.J. Yeldon, RB, Jaguars
T.J. Yeldon has been working extra hard on his physique this offseason, per Ryan O’Halloran, Florida Times-Union. He said that he’s now a “good 225.” Perhaps the signing of Chris Ivory motivated Yeldon, who appears to be ready for a great 2016 season.
