Should You Believe the Hype? (2021 Fantasy Football) | FantasyPros

The following contains information on several players receiving the most hype and whether you should buy into it.Join our Discord to Chat with Experts and FantasyPros Subscribers >>Joe Burrow (QB – CIN)When Joe Burrow went down with an ACL tear last year, he was sitting as the QB 16 in the fantasy rankings. New offensive line coach Frank Pollack should be instrumental with that, as he allowed less than 2.5 sacks per game when he was with the team in 2018.Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB – KC)Clyde Edwards-Helaire had a disappointing rookie campaign for someone being drafted in the first round, finishing as the RB22 in fantasy. With the tight end rankings being extremely top-heavy, it’s hard to imagine a scenario where Pitts doesn’t crack the Top 5.Darnell Mooney (WR – CHI)Darnell Mooney rose out of a deep receiver class for a promising rookie campaign in 2020. He’ll easily out-produce his current ADP of WR55.Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI)Drafting Jalen Hurts as a QB1 in his first season as the starter might not be the most prudent move for fantasy. In the wake of Tarik Cohen‘s early season-ending injury, he saw a spike in snaps and passing game involvement. It’s a hybrid role that plays both wide receiver and running back. However, if Meyer has his sights on primarily using Etienne this way, it would mean fewer touches for Shenault.Elijah Moore (WR – NYJ)The Elijah Moore hype may die down a little for season-long leagues as he no longer will immediately assume the slot role with Jamison Crowder remaining with the team.
