4. Jarvis Landry, Cleveland Browns

Jarvis Landry fell in drafts this year, likely due to the return of Odell Beckham Jr. and the skepticism revolving around Baker Mayfield’s ability to deliver fantasy-relevant wideouts.

But Landry has been Mr. Consistent throughout his career. He should continue this trend right off the bat Week 1 against Kansas City.

Beckham Jr. is questionable for Sunday’s matchup against the Chiefs, meaning he’ll either miss the game, or play at what is probably less than 100% healthy.

This leaves Landry as the security blanket and top target for Mayfield come Sunday, where the Browns will have to throw relentlessly to keep up with Patrick Mahomes & Co.

3. Marquez Callaway, New Orleans Saints

Marquez Callaway just might have been the best player of the entire preseason. He firmly established himself as New Orleans’ WR1 while Michael Thomas recovers from injury.

Jameis Winston being named the starter is even better news for Callaway, as the two showed great chemistry during their time on the field. Notably during their preseason game versus Jacksonville where Callaway hung a 5-104-2 line on their first-team defense.

Callaway is instantly start-able this week in what will be a high-flying matchup versus the Packers.
