After a slow first couple of days, it’s turned into a wild week in the NFL.
- Davante Adams is heading to the Raiders after a trade for a first- and second-round pick. With a suddenly impressive group of targets, can Derek Carr deliver an elite fantasy season?
- Allen Robinson finally has an elite QB and receiver opposite him. Is that enough to rehab his value after being a zero in 2021?
- Is Russell Gage the new Antonio Brown, or will he be buried behind better options?
- Evan Engram and C.J. Uzomah found new homes this week — will they be worth drafting in 2022?
- D.J. Chark escapes Jacksonville, but can Jared Goff help revitalize his career?
- What about a WR going to Jacksonville? Does a mega-contract make Christian Kirk a star?
- And how about those Cardinals backs? James Conner re-signs in Arizona and flies up boards, while Chase Edmonds will have to compete for touches in Miami.
- The Deshaun Watson quasi free agency saga finally came to an end after waiving his no trade clause for the Cleveland Browns. Will the Browns now shift to a pass-heavy offense with plenty of fantasy points to go around?
- Cordarrelle Patterson returns to Atlanta, but is he returning to the same role?
- Rashaad Penny is back with the Seahawks, but can the run game survive without Russell Wilson.
- After a trade, Matt Ryan looks to re-establish competence and professionalism in Indianapolis.
The ripple effect from the Robinson signing was that Robert Woods was traded to the Titans. Woods is currently recovering from a torn ACL and entering his age 30 season. Can Woods’ fantasy value survive going from a creative pass-heavy offense to an offense built around a running back? Before his injury in 2021 was Woods showing any sign of decline? We can answer these questions using the NFL Stat Explorer, Advanced Stat Explorer, and Stealing Signals tools.
