[You Pick The Player at 1.02: Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, Patrick Mahomes](=) It's the 1.02 pick in a 12-team, PPR, superflex draft. Christian McCaffrey is off the board. Would you take Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, or Patrick Mahomes II? Or would you pass on all three? We asked the Footballguys Staff plus the awesome folks following us on [Twitter]( , [Instagram](=) and [Facebook]() . Here's what they said. [] INSIDE THIS ISSUE 1.

[NYJ - WR Corey Davis made big leap](=) Source: Pro Football Focus - Ben Linsey New York Jets WR Corey Davis averaged 2.58 receiving yards per route run in 2020, improving on his 2019 mark by more than a yard. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Davis flourished with the Titans last year, and that's why the Jets were so excited to sign him in free agency. He is coming off a career high of 984 yards and five touchdowns, along with his second-highest target total (92). With a rookie quarterback Zach Wilson, Davis should be considered a WR4/flex for Fantasy GMs in 2021. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [CLE - Anthony Schwartz update]() Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot Cleveland Browns WR Anthony Schwartz (hamstring) should be ready to practice during training camp, but the Browns want to make sure his hamstring is fully healed before turning him loose. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Schwartz, a 2021 third-round pick out of Auburn, has a game that is all about speed, speed and more speed. Hamstring injuries are especially concerning for speedy players like him. The team is likely to test him out at the beginning of camp to see how much he can handle early on. A big play waiting to happen (six plays from Schwartz went over 50 yards in 2020), Schwartz is competing for no.4 on the depth chart behind Odell Beckham Jr, Jarvis Landry and Rashard Higgins. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [CLE - WR Odell Beckham recovering well]() Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot Cleveland Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) has looked like a freak of nature in the way that he has recovered from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, in the opinion of beat writer Mary Kay Cabot. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's a make-or-break year for Beckham. Injuries and inconsistencies have plagued his game ever since he signed in Cleveland. The Browns will probably be cautious with him in the early part of training camp. He's more of a WR3/Flex play for Fantasy GMs in 2021. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 4. [JAX - Trevor Lawrence signs rookie deal]() Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter Jacksonville Jaguars No. 1 overall pick QB Trevor Lawrence signed his four-year, $36.8 million rookie deal that includes $24.1 million in guaranteed money Monday, July 5. All rookie, first-round deals include fifth-year options. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Lawrence has the tools to be a franchise quarterback in the NFL. He's a rare "can't miss" prospect in the same way guys like Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning or John Elway were thought of. Lawrence is smart, accurate, has the arm strength to make all the throws required in the NFL and he's capable of picking up yards with his legs if need be. He'll start from day one, likely have some rookie struggles but pick up on things quickly.

[CLE - RB Nick Chubb may be paced early on]() Source: The Cleveland Plain Dealer - Mary Kay Cabot Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb could be paced early on in order to attempt to get him through 24 games through the preseason, regular season and playoffs, in the opinion of beat writer Mary Kay Cabot. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] It's a 17-game regular season schedule. Add on the preseason and a potential deep postseason run, and you can see how Chubb could be managed. Keep this in mind early in the season if Kareem Hunt is getting a bit more work. Chubb missed four games last year due to a knee injury and will have his workload monitored. He's a top-5 fantasy running back who is going off the board in the middle of the first round of most drafts. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 6. [NYJ - WR Keelan Cole sees time with starters]( Source: JetsWire - Tyler Calvaruso New York Jets WR Keelan Cole received snaps with the first-team offense during offseason workouts and could compete for a starting job during training camp. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] There has been a steady drumbeat this offseason about Cole. The Jets wide receiver situation is one to watch in training camp and the preseason. They have Corey Davis and rookie Elijah Moore as potential starters on the outside with Jamison Crowder working the slot. Cole is going to battle with Moore for that outside spot and will get work as a reserve if he's not a starter. They also could use 3-WR sets with Davis and Cole on the outside and Moore in the slot. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [TEN - TE Delanie Walker expects to sign soon]( Source: ESPN.com - Turron Davenport Free-agent TE Delanie Walker (Titans) expects to sign with a team before training camp. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Walker has been getting a bit of interest on the open market. He opted out of the 2020 season due to COVID concerns but is back in action for the 2021 season. The 49ers could be his landing spot. Walker played for the 49ers from 2006 to 2012.
