Sam Bradford, Minnesota Vikings

ESPN Ownership: 10.7%

Right off the bat, we get to talk about two things you'll probably see fairly often in this year's streamers series: Sam Bradford and the New Orleans Saints' defense.

Bradford will be a popular streamer play in 2017 thanks to the Minnesota Vikings' favorable schedule. Per our numbers, Bradford has the easiest schedule in the league, and he starts with a doozie in Week 1 as he gets a home date with the Saints.

New Orleans, as has been the case for a while now, shouldn't be very good defensively. A year ago, the Saints ranked 30th in schedule-adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back, and they had the 30th overall defense by our metrics.

There's a very good chance you can snag Bradford off your waiver wire, and he's Week 1's 10th-ranked quarterback, according to our projections, with the Vikes' owning the week's seventh-highest implied total (25.75).
