Cantrell played receiver under Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech, where he totaled 158 receptions for 1,873 yards and 18 touchdowns over the course of his five-year career there. Cantrell entered the league as a sixth-round pick of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018, but failed to catch on. He'll get a new chance with his former coach, who prominently featured four-receiver sets at the college level.

Cantrell profiled as an uber-athlete at the 2018 NFL Combine, testing in the 99th-percentile athlete at the event. Unfortunately, neither his collegiate nor NFL production ever lived up to that athleticism. He will probably have to make a name for himself on special teams before he can become a contributor as a receiver.

Ruggs fortunately appears to have missed suffering any serious injuries, and is reportedly using the crutches as a precaution according to his father. Ruggs apparently suffered the injury when he was pinned between a trailer and a wall. Certainly a close call for the first wide receiver selected in this year's NFL Draft.

Assuming Ruggs is healthy to start the season, numberFire projects him to finish as the WR50 in fantasy leagues this season, with 83 targets, 53 receptions, 661 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns. Ruggs was a hyper-efficient player close to the line of scrimmage at Alabama, and could easily become Derek Carr's favorite option as early as his rookie season.

Scarnecchia was retired for the 2014 and 2015 seasons, but returned to the Patriots for each of the previous four seasons. He believes this retirement will stick, and was quoted in the interview saying '...I was pretty much done with at all,' by the time of the draft.

Scarnecchia will likely go down as one of the greatest assistant coaches of all time. It's worth noting that, in the interview, he claimed to have contributed heavily in the scouting process leading into the 2020 NFL Draft. The Patriots selected three offensive linemen this year, as well as two tight ends with blocking experience. The Patriots offensive line improved as the 2019 season progressed, and figures to be one of the strong points of their offense this year.

Ferrell weighed 262 pounds as a rookie and he lost an additional 15 in Week 5 due to a bout of food poisoning. “He’s lean and mean and running pretty good,” said Mark Hall, Ferrell's personal defensive line coach. “We had a really good offseason and I know he can’t wait to get to Las Vegas and put that product on the field.” Ferrell finished his rookie season with 4.5 sacks, 8 tackles for loss, and 5 pass deflections. He seems poised for a large leap forward in 2020.

numberFire's models project Ferrell for 46.8 tackles, 6.2 sacks, 4.0 pass deflections, and 1.4 forced fumbles this season. The Raiders D/ST is 27th in our preseason fantasy rankings.

“There’s definitely inherent respect for the starter returning," Reich stated. The incumbent typically gets the opportunity to retain the job, so Mack likely will see the first snaps in the Colts' committee to open the year. However, the rookie remains the favorite to take over by season's end. Reich and the coaching staff have repeatedly mentioned all three of Mack, Taylor, and Nyheim Hines when discussing the backfield blueprint for 2020. The Colts executed the fifth-most rushing plays in the NFL last season (471).

numberFire's models project Mack for 164.0 carries, 714.0 rushing yards, 13.0 receptions (17.4 targets), 108.1 receiving yards, and 6.9 touchdowns. He's the RB34 in our preseason fantasy rankings. Taylor is the RB20 and projected for 244.7 touches.

"Terry McLaurin's been a treat," Rivera said. "He's been a treat to get to know. I ran into him several times before the lockdown when he would come around and I'd have a conversation with him. And then listening in on his conversations with [wide receivers] coach [Jim] Hostler has been really, really good. I mean, he's a young man I think that had a solid year last year as a rookie, a third-round pick — he's a guy that could be on the verge (of stardom), he really is. He reminds me so much of a D.J. Moore that we had in Carolina. Just an outstanding young man." McLaurin caught 58 passes for 919 yards and 7 touchdowns on 93 targets last season. In Moore's second season last year, he turned 135 targets into 87 catches, 1,175 yards, and 4 touchdowns. A boost in targets plus improvement from quarterback Dwayne Haskins should translate to even better fantasy production from McLaurin in Year 2.

McLaurin is the WR27 in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Our models project him for 116.7 targets, 71.4 receptions, 1,020.7 yards, and 5.2 touchdowns. Among wideouts who saw at least 50 targets last year, McLaurin ranked 6th overall in Target Net Expected Points per target, 10th in Reception NEP per target, and 13th in Reception Success Rate.
