BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for FLEX Upside in PPR
CURRENT ADP: 140 STD, 126 PPR
ANALYSIS: With John Fox taking over the helm in Chicago, can Eddie Royal be last season’s Emmanuel Sanders? Of coursePeyton Manning is at quarterback, but Fox is going to bring some components of the Denver offense to Chicago, where secondary wide receivers were effective.
With Kevin White missing extended time, and no one having a clue about Alshon Jeffrey’s readiness for Week 1, the Bears have to throw someone the ball. Enter Eddie Royal, who’s coming off the second-best season of his professional career in San Diego (62 catches, 778 yards, seven touchdowns).
If some things break the right way for the Bears offense, Royal can reach the 80-catch territory, which is a welcomed surprise for a wide receiver barely inside the top-50. Based on his current ADP, he can be targeted in the later rounds of PPR drafts, as he may return a very nice value on his draft day cost.
