With Maclin now in Kansas City, opposing defenses will adjust.</p> <p>Even if they don’t, the Eagles swapped out quarterback Nick Foles for oft-injured Sam Bradford, putting Matthews’ fantasy value even more in flux.</p> <p>Bradford missed the entire 2014 season with a torn ACL and played just seven games the year before that.

Hilton on the roster, at least.</p> <p>Hilton was Luck’s most sought-out receiver, hauling in 82 of his 131 targets for 1,345 yards and seven touchdowns. Reggie Wayne, now with New England, was second on the team with 116 targets, followed by tight end Coby Fleener (92). So Johnson will have less opportunities with the ball than he is used to.</p> <p>And he has been less effective with those possessions in each of the past four seasons, going from 14.9 yards per reception in 2011 to 11.0 in 2014.</p> <p>Fewer targets and declining production make for a high-risk third-round pick.</p> <p><strong>Rob Gronkowski, TE, New England Patriots</strong></p> <p>Gronkowski is being selected among the top 15 players in most 12-team fantasy drafts because he is widely accepted as the best player at the position, enjoying more than a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150906085644/http://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/projections/te.php" target="_blank">projected 30-point lead over the next best tight end</a>, Jimmy Graham.</p> <p>But that’s with Tom Brady under center. Instead, it could be Jimmy Garoppolo throwing the passes during the first four games. If so, those extra points can vanish in a hurry, especially if teams decide to test Garoppolo early and often with pressure.</p> <p>So far this preseason, Garoppolo has seen his passer rating decline from 93.6 to 68.9 when blitzed. Granted, it is a small sample size of just 23 attempts, but with Rex Ryan and the Buffalo Bills on the schedule for Week 2, it could be a rough start for any of the Patriots’ receivers.</p> <p
