Kyle Williams Trending Up After Big Preseason

Saturday, September 5, 3:00 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams is trending up in fantasy football after stringing together three impressive preseason games. The Washington State product scored a touchdown in all three contests, and he totaled six catches for 166 yards despite playing limited snaps. The Patriots have A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs firmly entrenched as their top two wide receivers, but Williams could push for the No. 3 receiver role, especially after Kayshon Boutte was traded to Houston last month. The 23-year-old is looking to build off his three-touchdown season as a rookie last year. He ranks as the WR119 in RotoBaller's redraft rankings, but he could get onto the fantasy radar by midseason, especially if either Brown or Doubs miss any time.

Cyrus Allen Earning Plenty of Trust From Quarterback

Wednesday, September 2, 6:42 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver has quickly earned the trust of his quarterbacks, including Patrick Mahomes. "Even when there were a couple routes he ran the wrong thing and lined up the wrong way in the game, the quarterback still threw the ball to him," head coach Andy Reid told Jesse Newell of The Athletic. "You go, 'All right. There's a certain trust there.' And he'll work through all the other stuff." Mahomes recently dubbed Allen one of the team's biggest camp standouts, and Newell noted that the team's quarterbacks have all been very comfortable throwing him the ball even when he's covered. That level of trust should go a long way in the regular season. Even though Allen is set to open the year behind Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy on the depth chart, he could work his way onto the fantasy radar by midseason, especially if Rice or Worthy get injured. Having Mahomes throwing him the football should only boost his stock in redraft and dynasty formats. Allen currently has an ADP of 186.5, which corresponds to the 16th round of drafts and makes him the 68th receiver off the board.
