The Yahoo Fantasy analysts will preview all 32 NFL teams between now and the end of July as training camps open. We’ll tackle pressing season-long fantasy questions, Best Ball tips (new on Yahoo for 2019) and team win totals. Next up, the New York Jets.

The New York Jets are making a conscious effort to maximize the maturation and production of young quarterback Sam Darnold. Darnold flashed moments of greatness in 2018, especially late in the season and when he received solid protection by the line in front of him.

Now, paired with former fantasy darling Le’Veon Bell at running back and offensive coach Adam Gase, the team is hoping Darnold can take the next step — but what does it mean for fantasy football?

Le’Veon in Gotham

After a year off spent riding jet skis, recording crappy rap songs and packing on the pounds, Le’Veon Bell is recharged and ready to refocus on football in his first season with the Jets. BUY or SELL the notion he’s a top-eight fantasy RB this fall?

Brad: BUY. Last year’s hiatus should be viewed positively. The time off likely preserved Bell’s overworked body. Those who believe the former fantasy king has a wrapped leg in the sarcophagus are misinformed. He’s hardly mummified.

Refreshed, refocused and hopefully trimmed down, Bell will shine again for those who draft him. There’s little doubt about his projected volume. He should easily secure 300 touches, many coming in the pass game. Behind an improved offensive line and with Sam Darnold’s ascension, it’s entirely plausible he finishes between 1500-1700 combined yards with 9-12 touchdowns. It’s why he’s my RB4 in .5 PPR. At his early 10.6 (RB8) ADP, he’s a spectacular near-turn investment.

Andy: Sure, I’ll BUY. Bell landed in a spot in which he remains a foundational back, a no-doubt full-workload player in line for 300-plus touches. At his best, he’s one of the most inventive runners in the game. New York upgraded the O-line in the offseason, which certainly helps Bell’s outlook. Sam Darnold was a fun watch last year, particularly in the closing weeks, so I’m generally bullish on this team in 2019. No one should be surprised if Le’Veon delivers 1600-plus scrimmage yards and 9-10 touchdowns.

Can Sam Darnold shine under Adam Gase?

Sam Darnold was the youngest starting QB in Week 1 of the 2018-19 NFL season. A year older, after a strong finish to his rookie campaign and under the tutelage of Adam Gase, OVER or UNDER 25.5 Darnold passing touchdowns this fall?

Andy: Twelve different quarterbacks reached this number last season, so I don’t think it’s at all unreasonable. Gimme the OVER. After the additions of Bell and Jamison Crowder, this receiving corps can stress opposing defenses at every level. Darnold was dealing in his four games last December (6 TDs, INT), making him a clear breakout candidate in his second pro season. Assuming good health, I think he can deliver, say, 3800 yards and 28 scores.

Liz: OVER. Darnold managed 17 scores in 13 games last season, averaging 1.3 TDs per contest. Noting that pace, had he played a full 16 game season, the former Trojan would have fallen short of the aforementioned line by just four TDs. Additionally, over the last four weeks of the season, Darnold’s completion percentage shot to 64 percent and he tossed six scores (with just 1 INT). With Quincy Enunwa back to health and recognizing the additions of Jamison Crowder as well as Le’Veon Bell, I’m buying on his ability to flirt with 30 TDs in 2019.
