Pianowski backs Flowers, Brown in AFC North fantasy outlook

Fannin carries a mid-60s Yahoo ADP into camp

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 291 min read

What happened: DK Metcalf draws caution as Aaron Rodgers returns for his age-43 season. Harold Fannin Jr. faces a wider passing tree after David Njoku's departure.

Why it matters: Chase Brown's receiving work supports a steady role despite Joe Burrow's availability. Zay Flowers could outperform his draft slot if Lamar Jackson stays healthy and adjusts to Declan Doyle's offense.

By the numbers: Brown finished as RB8 with 69 catches, 437 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns while Burrow missed nine games. Flowers ranked WR7 with six touchdowns despite Jackson missing four games, yet enters early Yahoo drafts at WR14. Fannin finished as TE6 and now carries an ADP in the mid-60s.

What to watch: Watch camp usage for Brown, Flowers, Fannin and Metcalf as their target shares and offensive roles take shape.
