Matthew Berry advised taking David Njoku wherever the elite tight ends are gone, noting the numbers back it up. Njoku drew a target on 25% of his routes last season, fifth-highest at the position, and Kevin Stefanski’s play-action heavy attack keeps him on the field because he is such a dominant run blocker. In five 2023 starts with Joe Flacco, Njoku owned a 22% target share and averaged 18.2 PPR points per game – production that would have been TE1 overall by two full points. Current markets still price him at TE9 even though his main competition is Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman. Berry believes the Browns offense will be at least competent, and any QB change will come only if the replacement can match or exceed Flacco’s level. Given locked-in snaps, red-zone usage (led all TEs in end-zone looks) and thin target competition, Berry sees Njoku as the best mid-round tight-end swing in both guillotine and standard redraft formats.

Matthew Berry said Caleb Williams is a glaring buy in season-long drafts, explaining that Chicago has gone out of its way to remove every excuse. The Bears spent resources on the offensive line and added Colston Loveland plus Luther Burden to a pass–catching corps that already features DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet. Berry emphasized new coach Ben Johnson’s promise to build the scheme around what Williams likes, not force him into an ill-fitting system. Despite last year’s chaos, Williams still flashed “semi-special” throws whenever he had time. Rushing production is being slept on: he averaged more ground yards per game than Bo Nix, yet because Nix scored four rushing TDs while Williams had none, the cheat-code narrative has tilted the wrong way. Consensus ADP sits around 114 overall (often 124-125 on Sleeper), while Berry has him 109 and sees clear profit potential. He urged drafters to scoop Williams as a QB2 with top-10 upside once the supporting cast and designed offense kick in.

Matthew Berry expressed guarded optimism that Caleb Williams can rebound into fantasy relevance after Chicago overhauled its offensive line and hired play-caller Ben Johnson. Williams posted a 35% off-target rate (third worst) when pressured last year but owned the fourth-best TD-to-INT ratio when kept clean. Berry believes better protection plus new weapons Colston Loveland and Luther Burden alongside DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet will allow the former No.1 pick to showcase the flashes he displayed in 2024. Add roughly 30 rushing yards per game and Williams profiles as a high-end QB2 with upside in season-long leagues if the line indeed gives him time.

Matthew Berry called Calvin Ridley a "screaming value" after sliding him up to WR51 while consensus keeps him around WR69 and sportsbooks set his yardage prop at only 924. Last season Ridley led all 21 receivers with 120-plus targets in off-target throw rate thanks to Will Levis, yet in the four games he received at least seven catchable targets he averaged 18.3 PPR points. Berry projects No.1 overall pick Cam Ward to bring league-average accuracy in a Brian Callahan pass-first offense where Ridley’s main competition is Tyler Lockett and Chig Okonkwo, paving the way for a 30-35% share. With an upgraded offensive line and likely negative game scripts, Berry expects Tennessee to throw early and often; he is drafting Ridley everywhere and taking the over on his receiving-yards prop.

Matthew Berry said he is out on DK Metcalf at his WR20 consensus price because Arthur Smith offenses simply do not feed a true fantasy WR1. In Smith’s four years as a head coach or coordinator, no receiver has finished inside the top-30 in total or per-game fantasy points except for half a season of AJ Brown’s rookie year. The most targets any Smith wideout has ever seen is 117 (Drake London 2022); Metcalf has fallen below that number twice and finished outside the top-30 both times. Berry added that Aaron Rodgers signed in July, missing OTAs and shrinking the window to build chemistry, and that Rodgers’ current talent level playing cold outdoor games versus the Browns, Ravens and Bengals is a question mark. Mike Tomlin’s preferred formula of defense, a heavy rushing attack and winning 20-17 further caps volume, making Metcalf touchdown-dependent with limited ceiling. Berry recommends fading him in season-long and best-ball drafts at current ADP.

Matthew Berry explained why he has DK Metcalf ranked WR27—seven spots below the Fantasy Life consensus of WR20—after the receiver’s trade to Pittsburgh. Berry reminded listeners that Metcalf has "finished as a top-20 wide receiver once in his career" and cautioned against assuming a massive target spike simply because he is "the only game in town." He believes drafters are overestimating new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith’s willingness to lean pass-heavy and overrating the idea that Aaron Rodgers will automatically pepper Metcalf with volume. Without a clear history of elite fantasy production and in an offense Berry expects to be more balanced than projected, Metcalf’s ADP bakes in ceiling without accounting for his limited top-end finishes. Berry advised passing on Metcalf at current prices in favor of receivers with clearer volume floors.

Matthew Berry argued that drafters are still "undervaluing" Justin Fields, who sits at QB13 in Fantasy Life consensus rankings despite averaging over 50 rushing yards per game for his career—a mark only Lamar Jackson and Jaden Daniels have matched. Berry noted Fields has never finished outside the weekly top-10 in fantasy points per game when given a full starting opportunity (QB5 in 2022 with Chicago, QB9 in 2023, QB7 over six starts with Pittsburgh last season). Now in New York he gains Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson and no longer has to look over his shoulder, giving him the best supporting cast of his career. Berry ranks Fields ninth and sees a weekly floor of ~175 passing yards, one passing touchdown and 50 rushing yards, with top-five upside whenever he adds a rushing or second passing score. He recommended drafting Fields ahead of pocket passers like Jared Goff whose ceilings are lower without the rushing production.

Matthew Berry noted that Daniel Jones starting over Anthony Richardson is a "slight plus" for Jonathan Taylor because Richardson was a significant goal-line touchdown vulture. With the less mobile Jones under center, Berry expects more red-zone touches to flow back to Taylor, increasing his touchdown equity and raising both his weekly floor and overall ceiling in season-long formats.
