Sam Bradford, Quarterback, Minnesota Vikings

With Andrew Luck out this week and Tyrod Taylor questionable after suffering a concussion during the preseason, those who developed a mid-to-late round draft strategy at quarterback could very well find themselves behind the proverbial eight-ball this week. That's where Bradford comes into play. 

Sure Bradford finished as just the 24th-best fantasy quarterback, throwing 20 touchdowns last season. He's not someone we're going to be relying on throughout the season for fantasy production. But we're talking about an early-season streaming option against a Saints defense that yielded the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks last season. You could do a lot worst this week. 

Wendell Smallwood, Running Back, Philadelphia Eagles

At this point, it's becoming readily apparent that the Eagles are going to employ a committee approach at running back. Free agent siging LeGarrette Blount did next to nothing to prove himself during the preseason. It was even at the point that speculation led to the idea of Philadelphia releasing him altogether. While that didn't happen, the Eagles are going to be relying on other running backs to take the burden off Blount. 

It's in this that Smallwood becomes a solid Week 1 play and potential early-season waiver wire add. The second-year back averaged a solid 4.1 yards per rush as a rookie last season. He's also going up against a Redskins defense in Week 1 that gave up the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs last season. 

Matt Breida, Running Back, San Francisco 49ers

An undrafted free agent out of Georgia Southern, Breida didn't just earn a roster spot with San Francisco during the summer. Instead, he's now the team's primary backup to the injury-plagued Carlos Hyde. That's potential waiver-wire gold right there, especially considering Hyde has never proven himself to be able to stay healthy. We also have to take into account just how running back-friendly Kyle Shanahan's offense has been. Just ask Alfred Morris, Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. And even if Hyde were to stay healthy, Shanny likes to employ a two running back system. 

For his part, Breida is coming off a preseason performance that saw him put up 87 yards on 21 touches. He should see plenty of action Sunday against a Panthers squad that surprisingly ranked outside of the top 10 against fantasy running backs last season. Though, any addition of Breida to your roster would be about long-term insurance should Hyde go down. Technically, a streaming option in San Francisco. 

Ted Ginn, Wide Receiver, New Orleans Saints

With Willie Snead suspended the first three games of the season, Ginn jumps up a notch on the Saints' depth chart. He also provides some tremendous big-play ability and has been more consistent in recent seasons compared to what we saw earlier in his career. Ginn put up 54 receptions for 752 yards in Carolina last season. That came on the heels of him tallying 10 touchdowns the previous season. 

Now with Drew Brees tossing him the rock, Ginn becomes a valuable FLEX option in standard 12-team leagues. Interestingly enough, he has not been picked up a great deal in preseason drafts. That leaves Ginn available on the waiver wire in nearly half of the leagues. It might be tough sledding this week against a Vikings team that yielded the third-fewest fantasy points to receivers in 2016, but Ginn himself will be a viable fantasy option moving forward this season. 

Robby Anderson, Wide Receiver, New York Jets

Anderson is legitmately the only returning Jets receiver that did anything of substance for the team last season. He recorded 42 receptions for 587 yards as a rookie. He did so with the likes of Bryce Petty, Christian Hackenberg and Ryan Fitzpatrick tossing him the rock. Despite having to deal with Josh McCown being under center this season, we're looking for a strong performance when it comes to Anderson's fantasy production. 

Simply put, Anderson's usage rate will definitely increase with a lack of other options on the field. It should start this week against a Bills team that's without last year's starting corners — Ronald Darby and Stephon Gilmore. 

Evan Engram, Tight End, New York Giants

We absolutely love this fit for both the rookie from Mississippi and the Giants. Engram is going to be a dynamic receiving threat between the hashes to go with Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall. He has the "it" factor and earned the Giants' starting tight end job in camp. It definitely doesn't that Engram is also going up against a Cowboys defense that gave up an absurd 78 percent catch rate to tight ends last season. Whew.
