Fantasy football success hinges on understanding how players perform in new environments, and this season offers no shortage of stars in fresh uniforms. Our deep dive into quarterbacks, running backs, and tight ends changing teams reveals several draft-day steals hiding in plain sight.

Sam Darnold's move to Seattle has him criminally undervalued at QB27 despite finishing as QB8 last season with Minnesota. While he loses Kevin O'Connell's quarterback-friendly system, he gains Cooper Kupp, JSN, and a potentially stronger rushing attack than he had with the Vikings. The floor remains concerning, but the ceiling makes him worth consideration in superflex formats.

The most exciting quarterback move might be Justin Fields joining the Jets. Through his first six games last season, Fields ranked as QB6 thanks to his rushing prowess (289 yards and five TDs in that span). Now paired with college teammate Garrett Wilson, Fields has the potential to massively outperform his QB18 ADP when his rushing ability combines with improved weapons.

Running back movement creates similar opportunities, with J.K. Dobbins (RB43) potentially starting in Denver ahead of rookie RJ Harvey, and Najee Harris joining Jim Harbaugh's run-heavy Chargers offense. Nick Chubb behind Joe Mixon in Houston might be the ultimate high-upside handcuff for managers willing to stash talent.

At tight end, Evan Ingram's arrival in Denver could be fantasy gold, slotting into Sean Payton's coveted "Joker" role with limited target competition beyond Courtland Sutton. Meanwhile, Jonu Smith joins Pittsburgh where Aaron Rodgers' affinity for tight ends could maintain his TE4 production from last season.
