For running backs, volume is king in fantasy football, and D'Andre Swift has a clear path to significant volume, partly due to his big contract.

Hollywood Brown's ADP is WR35. He offers a higher risk and higher reward than other receivers in his ADP range. If you draft him, it's advisable to prioritize a strong backup option.

A.J. Brown has an ADP of WR6 as a late first-round pick, which is fair. He has ranked higher than that in total points and slightly lower in points per game, and he is likely to finish around that area again.

Cooper Kupp is capable of a top-10 season if last season's performance is attributed to injuries and if Puka Nacua experiences a sophomore slump. However, it's also possible that Kupp doesn't rebound this season, which could make him a bench candidate more often than not.

Kenneth Walker III is a good runner with a lot working against him, including a new pass-happy offense, the potential of Zach Charbonnet cutting into his workload, and the loss of his top few run blockers. He seems like a relatively safe pick, thanks to his ability to make big plays, but a lot could go wrong.
