During the preseason, I promised to deliver updated projections each quarter in an effort to help fantasy owners plan for the immediate and near future. Because I’m covering all 32 teams this week and there is a lot to cover, I’m going to get right to it.

At least this time around, I’ve chosen to identify a “buy” or “sell” candidate as well as a potential breakout player for each team over the next month. Depending on the feedback I receive on this piece, I may do the same when I attempt to project the third and fourth quarters of the season following Weeks 8 and 12.

Here’s a quick refresher of what each of the colors mean in each team’s projection chart below:

Red – A very difficult matchup. For lower-level players, a red matchup means they should not be used in fantasy that week. For a second- or third-tier player, drop your expectations for them at least one grade that week (i.e. from WR2 to WR3). For elite players, expect them to perform one level lower than their usual status (i.e. RB1 performs like a RB2).

Yellow – Keep expectations fairly low in this matchup. For lower-level players, a yellow matchup is a borderline start at best. For a second- or third-tier player, they can probably overcome the matchup if things fall right. For the elite players, expect slightly better than average production.

White – Basically, this is a neutral matchup. In some cases, I just don’t feel like I have a good feel yet for the defense. Generally speaking, these matchups are winnable matchups for all levels of players.

Green – It doesn’t get much better than this. For non-elite players, the stage is basically set for said player to exploit the matchup. For the elite player, this matchup should produce special numbers.

One final note: The gray highlight in each team’s schedule reflects a road game and the numbers above them correspond to the weeks of the season. The age you see by each player will be that player’s age as of September 1, 2015.

Key to the table below:

Sell: None.

Breakout player: Eventually, my answer will be Strong, but he’s been a healthy inactive most of the season. It’s quite likely with the pathetic quarterback situation in Houston, no receiver will be overly useful in fantasy this season other than Hopkins.

Sell: Luck. Anyone who followed my PMA series this preseason knew that Luck was in for a rough start to the season, but there is obviously no way anyone could predict he would be tied with Jameis Winston for the league lead in interceptions and have the NFL’s worst quarterback rating. However, my concern is not with a slow start so much as it is my concern over his shoulder. I suffered a shoulder subluxation during my athletic career and it affected me the rest of that season. Combine that experience with the knowledge that Luck operates behind one of the worst offensive lines in the league and you have a recipe for potential disaster.

Breakout player: Dorsett. I’m not going to pretend to understand how Luck’s connection with Johnson was the story of the summer in Indianapolis, but that’s another story for another day. As long as it remains the case, there’s an opportunity for a third receiver to step up and be fantasy-relevant – a job that should go to a player that reminds many of Hilton. If Luck is able to get his shoulder right at some point in the next month, it seems reasonable he’ll be able to start taking some deep shots. If that is in fact the case, Dorsett would have some value as an end-of-bench option.

Sell: None.

Breakout player: Hurns has already emerged and I don’t believe in Bortles yet the season, so the two most likely candidates do not qualify for this honor, in my opinion.

Sell: Mariota. This is yet another one that pains me, because I believe in the talent. With that said, the coaches are torn on letting the No. 2 overall pick use his natural athleticism to accentuate his passing skills, thereby limiting the fantasy quarterback he could be. Given that we are talking about HC Ken Whisenhunt, I don’t think we can just assume he’s going to make the right call here (or at least the one that fantasy owners want).

Breakout player: Green-Beckham. Including the criticism that I just gave Whisenhunt, I have reservations about DGB having any kind of substantial impact in 2015. At some point, however, it makes too much sense to use the rookie’s size and incredible athleticism much in the same way Pittsburgh used Martavis Bryant last year. Green-Beckham needs to be owned in every league, but there’s no way of telling at this moment if that’s going to be a wasted bench spot or not.

NFC South

Sell: Freeman. Can we realistically expect Freeman to continue producing the level (or anywhere close to it) he has over the last two weeks? Of course not. The good news is that given where he was selected in most drafts, most of his owners can simply enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts. The reality of the situation is that he wasn’t able to win the job in camp with nearly identical rushing numbers (minus his seven touchdowns) to the ones he posted as a rookie last season. It’s obvious he’s a fit in OC Kyle Shanahan’s offense, but I doubt Coleman is relegated to bench duty the rest of the season either.

Breakout player: Hankerson has already made his presence known, pretty much stealing the one candidate for this honor. If injuries should strike Freeman and Coleman, then Terron Ward would be my selection here.

Sell: Newton. The Panthers’ quarterback is on pace for 172 carries, which would shatter his previous career high by 45. Moreover, Newton is the only quarterback (two instances) since 1972 with more than 125 rushing attempts in a season. While there’s always the chance that a player built as well as Newton can withstand the punishment, I’m not going to be the one that bets on him playing all 16 games AND remain a semi-effective passer at the same time.

Breakout player: Artis-Payne. Why I have serious doubts about Newton’s ability to continue running at the rate he has, I think it’s even more likely Stewart will miss some time due to injury once again. The Auburn product is nothing special in terms of talent, but should be able to come reasonably close to matching the meager production Stewart has managed in limited action so far this season.

Sell: Ingram. Congratulations if you knew that Ingram leads the Saints in receptions (22). Now consider if he maintains that pace, he will finish with 88 – 59 more than his previous career high. While Ingram has improved as a runner, he’s only averaging 3.6 YPC. He’s also generating a ton of his value as a result of his work in the passing game, which we can only hope is the result of the Saints working Spiller in slowly. While I think he will still contribute somewhat heavily in the passing game, I think his value is about to take a tumble. Last but not least, Ingram has played more than 13 games only once in his career.

Breakout player: Snead. This one’s been happening for a couple weeks already. While Snead cannot be expected to score many touchdowns, he appears to be getting open at will and has become a trusted option for Brees.

Sell: Martin. It’s good to see Martin running like he did as a rookie again, so this recommendation is all about my belief that the offensive line just doesn’t have the manpower to get it done consistently this year.

Breakout player: Seferian-Jenkins. We already saw what ASJ could do in Week 1 and his return is certain to help Winston. Considering defenses will be spending the majority of their time trying to figure out how to deal with the size Tampa Bay has at receiver, it only makes sense that Seferian-Jenkins will get plenty of work underneath and in the red zone.
