TE

Travis Etienne Jr.

RB · NO

Winks sees Etienne as roughly a full round undervalued, with a clear path to goal-line work, receiving involvement and a significantly improved offensive environment under Kellen Moore.

PN

Puka Nacua

WR · LAR

Winks sees Nacua as an elite first-round target with historic receiving production and the potential for an even bigger fantasy season if his red-zone involvement increases.

KW

Kenneth Walker III

RB · KC

Winks loves Walker's move to Kansas City, where a strong offensive line, limited backfield competition and Andy Reid's history of featuring running backs give him true bellcow upside.

MN

Malik Nabers

WR · NYG

Winks is buying the injury discount on Nabers, pointing to his elite pre-injury production, improved quarterback and offensive-line situation and a receiving corps that should continue funneling targets his way.

TE

Travis Etienne Jr.

RB · NO

Winks likes Etienne's falling draft cost after years of strong total-yardage production, with an improved Saints offensive line, fast-paced offense and valuable early-down and goal-line work creating upside.

DS

D'Andre Swift

RB · CHI

Winks sees Swift as a high-floor Round 5 back after another productive season, with superior burst and receiving ability helping him maintain value even while sharing touches.

KP

Kyle Pitts

TE · ATL

Winks believes Pitts finally looked healthy again last season and likes his chances for steadier volume in Kevin Stefanski's offense, with elite TE1 upside if Atlanta's target tree narrows further.

JW

Jaylen Warren

RB · PIT

Winks believes Warren has his best opportunity yet to separate from the backfield competition, with a strong offensive line plus goal-line and receiving usage fitting his skill set well.

PW

Parker Washington

WR · MIA

Winks thinks Washington's ADP is far too low after he emerged as Jacksonville's target leader, and he expects the short and intermediate passing game to continue running heavily through him.

BN

Bo Nix

QB · DEN

Winks likes Nix as a cheap quarterback target after consecutive QB9 finishes, with Jaylen Waddle adding another playmaker to a pass-heavy Sean Payton offense.

JD

Josh Downs

WR · IND

Winks expects Downs to benefit from a full-time role after Indianapolis lost receiving competition, creating additional routes and targets for a player who previously spent too much time limited to slot packages.

JL

Jordan Love

QB · GB

Winks is betting on Love's excellent passing efficiency and the possibility of a career-high in attempts, making him a low-cost quarterback with legitimate QB1 upside.

XW

Xavier Worthy

WR · KC

Winks acknowledges the risk with Worthy but sees significant upside if Kansas City returns him to more screens, crossers and yards-after-catch opportunities that better suit his skill set.

MG

Matthew Golden

WR · GB

Winks believes Golden is being written off too quickly after a part-time rookie season, with Green Bay's offseason departures creating an opportunity for the former first-rounder to grow into an explosive starting receiver.

CR

Chris Rodriguez

RB · JAG

Winks expects Rodriguez to have a meaningful short-yardage role in Jacksonville's committee and sees additional upside if Bhayshul Tuten struggles or misses time.

TH

Travis Hunter

WR · JAG

Winks sees Hunter as an almost free upside swing whose expanding offensive role and downfield usage could make him fantasy relevant, with even greater upside if Jacksonville loses another receiver.

KM

Keaton Mitchell

RB · LAC

Winks loves Mitchell's elite efficiency and explosive running profile in Mike McDaniel's offense, with even modest weekly touches potentially creating fantasy value and additional upside if his receiving role grows.
