    Rising Fantasy Football Pass-Catchers Set To Gain Targets In 2020

    Fantasy expert Jody Smith spotlights key players who are set to see more targets because of NFL offseason changes.

    The NFL has become a passing league, as evidenced by the fact that 28 of 32 teams threw the ball over 51 percent of the time last season. When players change uniforms during the offseason, it's important to track the moves to determine who can take advantage of new opportunities.

    No one has tracked it more closely than Jody Smith. Having worked in the Fantasy industry for many years, Smith has contributed to virtually every meaningful Fantasy publication and website. FantasyPros named him the Most Accurate Expert for the 2012 NFL season, and he continues to finish high in their rankings year after year. If there's anyone who knows what it takes to win a league, it's him.

    Now Smith has broken down the 10 teams with the most available targets and identified which players should claim them.

    The Atlanta Falcons have the highest percentage of available targets, as they lost TE Austin Hooper and RB Devonta Freeman. Smith expects newcomers Hayden Hurst and Todd Gurley to take over a large chunk of those targets.

    "Hurst has an excellent shot at putting up TE1 numbers right away," Smith said in his vacated target breakdown for Atlanta. "Todd Gurley looked slow last season but is probably still an upgrade over Freeman and quite capable of posting top-10 numbers in this offense."   

    Smith analyzed the nine other teams with the most available targets and pinpointed a tight end who is a sneaky bet to post top-10 fantasy numbers at his position. This TE could see his snap share double from last year. You cannot effectively prepare for a 2020 Fantasy football draft without consulting Jody Smith's target analysis.
