Cooper Kupp | LAR | WR | 6 | 4 | |
3 | 3 | 2 | ![]() |
Austin Ekeler | LAC | RB | 3 | 0 | 5/2: Line beefed up, but Spiller is also most legit RB he's ever had to share a backfield with. Still should be a monster in receiving & Red Zone |

Justin Jefferson | MIN | WR | 7 | 3 | |

Christian McCaffrey | CAR | RB | 2 | -3 | |

Ja'Marr Chase | CIN | WR | 10 | 2 | |
9 | 9 | 3 | ![]() |
Joe Mixon | CIN | RB | 9 | 0 | Line improvement should not be understated. His line has improved from a Bottom-10 Unit to a potential Top-5 unit with an entirely new right side featuring La'El Collins, Alex Cappa, and Ted Karras. This improvement cannot be understated - it's so huge. |
