Outlook De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling at LAR — High-upside rookie ready for an expanded role in season opener
After an eye-catching preseason where he generated immense buzz, the rookie wideout enters Week 1 fully cleared from late-August shoulder soreness. With veteran slot receiver Christian Kirk placed on injured reserve, Stribling has a golden opportunity to step directly into meaningful three-receiver sets alongside Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. in Melbourne against the Rams.
Rostered in 86% of leagues but started in just 4%, fantasy managers are appropriately taking a wait-and-see approach. Our weekly projection models him for roughly 2.4 receptions and 33 receiving yards on 4 targets (6.8 fantasy points). While the high-total game environment brings sneaky scoring upside, keep him stashed on your bench until his regular-season snap share is confirmed.

Chris Rodriguez vs. Browns — Complementary Role in Week 1 Opener
Chris Rodriguez enters Week 1 fully healthy and operating as Jacksonville's top backup behind starter Bhayshul Tuten, having moved past an offseason foot injury. With third-string running back LeQuint Allen sidelined at practice with a hip injury, Rodriguez is slated for secondary touches in a home matchup where game script could favor the ground game.
However, a secondary role without passing-game involvement leaves him with a minimal floor. Our weekly projection forecasts about 33 rushing yards on roughly eight carries and 5.9 fantasy points, aligning with his modest 3% start rate. Fantasy managers should keep him stashed on the bench as an insurance option.
