Who are the players who had a slow first half of the season that you expect to become major difference makers for the second half?
Diontae Johnson- Slow start and the injury left people feeling like whatever magic this guy had with Big Ben was officially history. I think we've seen since his return that he still can get open at will and is going to demand a ton of targets. Him not scoring TDs was a fluke and I actually think he scores several more times this year to fully end that bizarre anomaly. I predict he finishes the year with 6 TDs.
Jayden Reed- He hasn't been bad but he hasn't really been playable either. I think he is about to establish himself as the WR1 for Green Bay and their most reliable target. Now I don't think this translates to rookie OBJ or anything. The offense isn't good enough to create a special fantasy player at any position. However, I think Reed moves into a guy managers can feel comfortable starting regularly.
Vice versa, who are the players who had hot starts that we expect to come back to Earth?
Puka- I spent a lot on him in FAAB and it's been worth it but I think Puka's magical run might be over. Not to say he is useless or anything but I think he probably falls into more of the WR2/3 range than the top 10 WR he has played as.
Ken Walker- Charbs is going to make this either a 50/50 backfield or one where game to game, usage is unpredictable. I think Carroll wants to keep both guys fresh and ready for a playoff run. He is thinking big picture and wants to make sure he has 2 guys who he can lean on.
