Players switch teams, teams adjust schemes, some schemes just make for a better fit. Change is inevitable. And in fantasy football, change can provide an opportunity for managers to gain an edge.

Every year, around this time, we try to give a little extra love to leagues that are thinking of making changes to keep things fresh and exciting.

A difference-maker with home run ability and elite contact balance, Jeanty steps into the lead role in the Raiders' backfield under offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. In his final season at Boise State, Jeanty's 2,601 rushing yards and 126 forced missed tackles led the country, and he should see consistent usage as a receiver on backfield releases.
