    D'Andre Swift to outplay his draft cost (the RB23)

    since 2023, he’s finished as the RB17, RB19 and RB15 in PPR, and this season he’s going as the RB23. Yes, Kyle Monangai looms, but there’s something to be said for Swift’s consistency.

    Ted Hurst to outplay his draft cost (third round)

    However, there has been another standout, this time on the offensive side of the ball, that I am buying the hype of: rookie wide receiver Ted Hurst... it's time to really slow down and imagine how big of a role Hurst will have in the Bucs' offense that is already one of the more talented in the league.
