4 | 1 | Lamar Jackson, BAL | If he somehow slips to the 5th, you MUST take him. His production can make up for a weak flex option. | 1 | Christian McCaffrey, CAR | No brainer. You don't need me to tell you how good he is. | 1 | Michael Thomas, NO | My number four overall pick. No brainer. You don't need me to tell you how good he is. | 1 | Travis Kelce, KC | He's still the boss. Will have similar yards as Kelce but more receptions as he's not the field stretcher that Kittle is but he has Andy Reid and he has Pat Mahomes who can put up 5,000 yards and 40 TDs. Take him anytime after the top 2 tiers at RB and WR have dried up, or before in 1-2-2-1 leagues. If your league requires a flex or 3rd WR, wait until the 2 tiers are exhausted. | |||||||||||||
5 | 2 | Patrick Mahomes, KC | If I'm paying for either of the top two, it will be Larmar, not Mahomes. | 2 | Saquon Barkley, NYG | No brainer. You don't need me to tell you how good he is. | 2 | Davante Adams, GB | 2 | George Kittle, SF | 1, 1a. I tried to rank him one, but I couldn't come up with any reason other than age to rank ahead of Kelce, and 26 > 30 shouldn't be an issue. He's locked in at #2 and should enjoy a 90 catch 1,000 and this year, even a chance at double digit TDs. I'm fine with you taking him anytime after the first 2 tiers at RB and WR are dried up. | ||||||||||||||
6 | 3 | Russell Wilson, SEA | I'm okay with any of these next four, but they usually go in a one or two round run, so if it starts right after you pick, you're out of luck. Incredible stat: Hawks w Wilson are 57-0 when leading by 4 or more at halftime. | 3 | Ezekiel Elliott, DAL | These are the ONLY three backs I'd take before Michael Thomas. | 3 | DeAndre Hopkins, ARI | A former number one ranked fantasy player in the world told me that in Arizona, Hopkins will challenge Thomas for the receptions title in 2020. Good enough for me. | 3 | Zach Ertz, PHI | In PPR leagues its hard to not have him ranked top 3. He could catch another 90 receptions, however I think Goedert will continue to eat into his targets. | |||||||||||||
7 | 4 | Deshaun Watson, HOU | 4 | Dalvin Cook, MIN | I'm perfectly okay with you reversing this tier, but when Cook is on the field, I think he justifies this draft capital. | 4 | Chris Godwin, TB | Shawn Childs has as his number two receiver overall. I have decided that Evans will have the bigger fantasy season, but both will be extremely good for fantasy drafters. | 4 | Mark Andrews, BAL | I don't have him ranked higher because of his lower reception count. (64) last season and that felt like they relied on him too much. | ||||||||||||||
8 | 5 | Dak Prescott, DAL | WRs are better but his offensive line is worse. I'm okay if you have him ranked 3. | 5 | Alvin Kamara, NO | 5 | Julio Jones, ATL | 5 | Darren Waller, LV | Hard to argue with 90 receptions. A season total of 3 TDs in a 2 week span last year are the anomaly here, not the norm, in my opinion. | |||||||||||||||
9 | 6 | Kyler Murray, ARI | 6 | Joe Mixon, CIN | With an improved offensive line, Joe Mixon is primed for a big season. He's went over 1,100 yards each of the last two seasons and he might see increased use in the passing game. This is the final year of his rookie deal, so look for him to play lights out as he seeks to improve the 1.2 million this season to somewhere north of 8 million per year in the next contract. UPDATE: He received his contract. He deserved it, but I was hoping he'd play with a chip on his shoulder. | 6 | Tyreek Hill, KC | 6 | Evan Engram, NYG | Top 4 TE prior to his foot injury last season. He has 90 reception upside as well. | |||||||||||||||
10 | 7 | Tom Brady, TB | Any of these next five are going to put up extremely similar numbers, so if you can wait a little longer, keep gobbling up RBs and WRs. | 7 | Derrick Henry, TEN | I won't fault you if you decide Henry isn't for you at 7, as 6 through 9 are interchangable. I just always lean towards the receptions rather than the Touchdown variance, although I don't see much stopping Henry from a repeat performance. | 7 | Mike Evans, TB | Soft tissue injury and questionable for week one. Not good! I've been thinking about bumping Evans for a long time and this morning I finally decided to rip the cord. The Brady to Evans connection is going to be fun to watch. Evans loves the deep ball. Brady's arm is questionable, hence the reason for this ranking. | 7 | Tyler Higbee, LAR | Well, you saw the breakout. Why don't you believe your eyes? It's here, it's happening. Higpiece to the rescue. | |||||||||||||
11 | 8 | Matt Ryan, ATL | 8 | Miles Sanders, PHI | Update: He's expected to be ready week one. A lower body injury, (hamstring) now considered week to week and could miss some time. This drops him at least 5 spots. No competition. Was the #6 RB from weeks 9-16 last season and his usage will likely go up this season, not down. | 8 | Kenny Golladay, DET | 8 | Mike Gesicki, MIA | You're noticing there are several targets at tight end and that's because I see genuine breakouts from several of these players this season. Gesicki has all the physical tools and skills to be a Top 5 TE in this league with a 10th round ADP. | |||||||||||||||
12 | 9 | Josh Allen, BUF | Added Diggs, but the accuracy on deep balls isn't there yet. Scrambling (which we fantasy players love) makes up for a lot of weaknesses in his game. | 9 | Clyde Edwards-Helaire, KC | Has everything you look for except the pass protection, which apparently isn't a big deal in KC's shotgun offense. I'm not so sure, which is why I have him here. | 9 | Allen Robinson, CHI | 8 and 9 are interchangable for me. I went with the more stable QB situation. Robinson is an elite WR who excels in contested situations and is fully recovered from any past injuries, but this Foles/Trubisky thing is problematic. | 9 | Hunter Henry, LAC | ||||||||||||||
13 | 10 | Drew Brees, NO | 10 | Josh Jacobs, LV | 10 | D.J. Moore, CAR | 10 | T.J. Hockenson, DET | |||||||||||||||||
14 | 11 | Matthew Stafford, DET | This is an extremely large tier, so if you didn't grab a top 10 QB, any of these QBs will do, but you'll obviously need two from this tier to play the matchups. | 11 | Nick Chubb, CLE | Kareem hunt looks really good. Being evaluated for a concussion after a first pads day hit from LB Mack Wilson. C'mon man, this is supposed to be practice! Chubb should get 20 carries+ a game w 40ish recepts. Late last season, we saw his usage tail off I think due in part to no chance for the playoffs. This could happen again. | 11 | A.J. Brown, TEN | Very explosive rookie season who almost led the league in yards after catch. This should obviously come down in 2020, but he's still proven to be a force to be reckoned with. Brown could easily finish with 80+ receptions, 1,200-1,400 yards and 8-10 TDs. | 11 | Hayden Hurst, ATL | ||||||||||||||
15 | 12 | Carson Wentz, PHI | Already with a soft tissue injury. Apparently nothing serious, but I can already see the camera switching to Jalen Hurts warming up on the sideline. The offense is improving from the dumpster fire of injuries that was 2019. Even then, it was a Top 7 fantasy season for Wentz. | 12 | Kenyan Drake, ARI | I will be honest with you. I'm succumbing to group think on this one. I've never been a big fan, but his top 24ppg fantasy performance over last season's second half was certainly impressive. Hate seeing him in a boot late August. Kingsbury said it was just precautionary, but I'll admit I'm worried. | 12 | JuJu Smith-Schuster, PIT | 12 | Noah Fant, DEN | This is aggressive but many claimed he was the Iowa tight end to select in the 2019 draft. He looks primed for an incredible breakout season. | ||||||||||||||
16 | 13 | Jared Goff, LAR | 13 | Aaron Jones, GB | Arguably the best back not named McCaffrey last season. Only 3 20 carry games all season and less than 50 recepts is a concern and the TDs have to come way down from 2019. Having said that, even with a 10 TD regression, he's still a RB1. | 13 | Calvin Ridley, ATL | Ready to take a big leap up. | 13 | Dallas Goedert, PHI | An absolute fantasy stud when on the field and the Eagles are reportedly looking to keep the 2 TE sets on the field. There are also rumors of shopping Ertz for defensive help. He's top 5 if that happens, but if not, he's still a startable option on some weeks. | ||||||||||||||
17 | 14 | Aaron Rodgers, GB | This offense has changed a lot and is no longer dependent on his 2nd half comeback fury. | 14 | Austin Ekeler, LAC | I love his upside, but I worry that the offense will take a step back under Tyrod. Still, Ekeler is a PPR machine and should safely be considered in the turn area of the first round. | 14 | Adam Thielen, MIN | 14 | Chris Herndon IV, NYJ | His ADP is 176, so you can wait until very late to take your backup TE. A suspension followed by an unfortunate season ending hamstring injury are the only reasons we're not talking about Herndon being this year's Tyler Higbee. | ||||||||||||||
18 | 15 | Daniel Jones, NYG | 15 | James Conner, PIT | 15 | Cooper Kupp, LAR | I love everything about his game. 94 recepts last season, 10 TDs and they lose a top WR (Cooks) and replace him with a Reynolds promotion. Nothing should change here. Another great season is on tap for the name I love to say. | 15 | Jared Cook, NO | 33yo and only 43 catches last season. Too Touchdown dependent for me. I believe Trautman is the future and that we see it in his rookie season. | |||||||||||||||
19 | 16 | Ben Roethlisberger, PIT | If he stays healthy, and that's a big if, he will be a Top 10 QB. Book it. The only reason he's this low is his age and injury risk. | 16 | Jonathan Taylor, IND | We all know that fantasy playoffs are won in weeks 14-16. By that time, Taylor will be ready to carry you to a fantasy title. The only question is how long it will take for him to supplant Marlon Mack as the lead back. Most assume a timeshare is in the works for this season with Mack, but I don't think it will take the fans very long to see there is a big reason why Taylor was selected with the 41st overall pick in this year's NFL draft. Taylor is 5-10 and 226 lbs, (shorter and heavier than Mack) and ran a 4.39 40 at the combine (so faster too). According to PFF, Taylor forced the most missed tackles of any B1G running back (75, next highest was J.K. Dobbins 52). He recorded a whopping 1,909 yards with over twenty touchdowns (21) but also was used as a pass-catcher with 26 receptions for 252 yards and another five scores. He is my clear No. 1 rookie in this class and it should show right away as he gets to face the second-easiest schedule against running backs in 2020. Make sure you read the recent feature by All Colts Editor Phillip B. Wilson to find out what he predicts Taylor to do in the latter part of the season. I have the 1.01 pick coming up in an industry expert draft and depending on who’s there, I’m seriously contemplating taking the Colts rookie at the 2/3 turn, but under no circumstances should you allow him to slip past you in the 4th round. ADP in the 6th is completely absurd. | 16 | Amari Cooper, DAL | 16 | Blake Jarwin, DAL | He's likely the 5th option in the passing game this season behind the wideouts and Zeke, but the opportunity for a breakout is certainly here. | ||||||||||||||
20 | 17 | Cam Newton, NE | He keeps climbing up my board as we get closer to the season. I know he's motivated, and he'll probably start fast, but I think there's a good chance that he'll fade fast too. Upside is definitely there. | 17 | David Johnson, HOU | 17 | Terry McLaurin, WAS | Ready to take a big leap up. He has just scratched the surface. Don't let the 2nd half split last year detract you from this draft spot. | 17 | Austin Hooper, CLE | |||||||||||||||
21 | 18 | Baker Mayfield, CLE | Was enamored with his upside, but it hasn't translated to consistency, which you need in fantasy. | 18 | Le'Veon Bell, NYJ | 18 | Robert Woods, LAR | 18 | Irv Smith Jr., MIN | He's already lining up outside in camp. They're going to utilize him more in 2020. The former 2nd round pick has high expectations and will easily surpass Kyle Rudolph in 2020. | |||||||||||||||
22 | 19 | Jimmy Garoppolo, SF | Another underrated QB. Perfectly fine with him as my QB2. | 19 | Todd Gurley, ATL | 19 | D.K. Metcalf, SEA | He's been on absolute fire to start camp, continuing where he left off in the playoffs. Don't worry about his lack of targets last season. That's coming way up in 2020. | 19 | Rob Gronkowski, TB | I can't put him much lower because I think he'll find a way to make some things happen with Tom teriffic. | ||||||||||||||
23 | 20 | Kirk Cousins, MIN | Obviously this jumps into the Top 15 if Dalvin Cook holds out. | 20 | Chris Carson, SEA | 20 | Odell Beckham Jr., CLE | Read my pre-season pro. | 20 | Eric Ebron, PIT | Big Ben always utilizes his tight ends. I think we're all sleeping on this offense thinking Ben won't last, but are we in the business of predicting injuries now? | ||||||||||||||
24 | 21 | Joe Burrow, CIN | I don't think he's ready to win in the NFL. Year one will probably be rough. His upside is Top 15 however. | 21 | Melvin Gordon, DEN | Remains to be seen what kind of carry workload the two backs will have. I'm guessing 50/50 with receptions leaning to Gordon. | 21 | D.J. Chark, JAC | 21 | Jonnu Smith, TEN | The talent is there but it just doesn't seem to equate to a lot of activity in the passing game. The volume should uptick a bit this year, but 45 receptions feels like the ballpark. | ||||||||||||||
25 | 22 | Sam Darnold, NYJ | I think he's going to be a solid QB2. They'll be playing from behind that's for sure. | 22 | Raheem Mostert, SF | 22 | Courtland Sutton, DEN | 22 | Jack Doyle, IND | ||||||||||||||||
26 | 23 | Ryan Tannehill, TEN | Mr. Underrated. The problem for him is the defense and running game is so good. | 23 | J.K. Dobbins, BAL | I think we'll see him used alot this season. 150 carries with upside for more. | 23 | Keenan Allen, LAC | 23 | Dawson Knox, BUF | Former 3rd round pick in 2019, Knox had a mediocre start. While he had the highest drop rate of any TE (12%) he's a red zone threat for Allen. Should improve in 2020. | ||||||||||||||
27 | 24 | Drew Lock, DEN | Lots of weapons at his disposal, but is he ready to take the next step? Top 15 upside. | 24 | Cam Akers, LAR | Explosive. Can't wait to see him play. It's a bit crowded to start the season, but my mid season, it should be his job to lose. | 24 | Tyler Lockett, SEA | You have to come away with at least two of these top 24 WRs. 5-10, 182 lbs. Lockett can run all the routes that Metcalf can't, and has a great shot at outperforming this draft position. | 24 | Ian Thomas, CAR | 6-4 260 lbs. Former 4th round pick. He's a young and dangerous down the field threat. He wasn't supported by great QB play last season, so we can't blame him for that. The Panthers have a bottom five defense so he'll have plenty of come from behind games. If he can take the next step, we could be sitting on a Top 15 season. | |||||||||||||
28 | 25 | Gardner Minshew II, JAC | He's going to be slinging it a lot with the loss of Fournette. | 25 | Devin Singletary, BUF | Singletary belongs in this tier. While both Allen and Moss take his TD value away, he should prove to be heavily involved in this offense. | 25 | Marquise Brown, BAL | WR1 upside with the blazing speed, but injuries have derailed some. | 25 | O.J. Howard, TB | A lack of consistency has been his downfall, but the presence of Gronk might actually help motivate him. | |||||||||||||
29 | 26 | Teddy Bridgewater, CAR | Game manager Teddy. Capable of startable games but should lean on the runnin game. | 26 | Kareem Hunt, CLE | Licking his chops. Would instantly become a RB1 with injury to Chubb. Without, he should still be involved as a time share back and in fourth quarters where the Browns are trailing as he's the better receiver. | 26 | Stefon Diggs, BUF | 26 | Greg Olsen, SEA | 14th season trying to overcome two injury plagued seasons. Not the speed he once had, but he's worth a flier this late. | ||||||||||||||
30 | 27 | Philip Rivers, IND | He's not done, and he has a great team around him. | 27 | Leonard Fournette, TB | And just like that, problem solved. He's a Buc and should likely see a good workload of carries in a split backfield with Ronald Jones. 55-30-5 carries split likely between the top 3 backs on the roster. | 27 | Tyler Boyd, CIN | 27 | Will Dissly, SEA | Two injuries two years in a row, (torn patellar in 2018, achilles 2019) but Dissly was the top tight end prior to his injury last season. In five games he produced 23-262 and 4 TDs. There's a lot to like about him. | ||||||||||||||
31 | 28 | Dwayne Haskins, WAS | He'll hold off the Alex Smith competition and over perform expectations. | 28 | Antonio Gibson, WAS | Good chance to impress with the Guice release. Some scouts say his upside is "The Next Jamaal Charles". | 28 | Will Fuller, HOU | 28 | Devin Asiasi, NE | Very talented rookie that we may see emerge as one of Cam's favorite targets. | ||||||||||||||
32 | 29 | Tua Tagovailoa, MIA | He'll be handed the reigns at mid-season with the brutal schedule the Dolphins face in the first half. | 29 | David Montgomery, CHI | I like him a lot, but as long as Cohen is vulturing his PPR game, he's dependent on big plays and touchdowns. | 29 | DeVante Parker, MIA | 29 | Tyler Eifert, JAC | Nagging injuries have derailed a promising career. He's an accomplished route runner who the Jaguars are planning to split out wide. If he's healthy he's a top 15 TE. Streamable value. | ||||||||||||||
33 | 30 | Justin Herbert, LAC | He's better than Taylor, almost immediately. The wide receivers should enjoy the bullets he can fire their way. | 30 | Tarik Cohen, CHI | Underrated and under utilized. Outscored Montgomery 9 times last season in PPR leagues. If this offense can figure out what it wants to be, both backs could be startable on a weekly basis. | 30 | Jarvis Landry, CLE | 30 | Jace Sternberger, GB | News that Robert Tonyan is expected to open the season as the Packers' top pass-catching tight end. SPending time on the reserve / COVID19 list isn't helping. I still think Sternberger is more talented and will eventually win the job, but it might take a month or two to happen. | ||||||||||||||
34 | 31 | Marcus Mariota, LV | I think he takes this job early on and doesn't look back. | 31 | D'Andre Swift, DET | Dealing with an injury. Keep an eye on. He might be slow out of the gate, but once he gets going, look out. I think he immediately steps in as the best back on the roster. Kerryon will deserve touches but by mid-season it will be a 60-40 split favoring Swift. He's a target. | 31 | Michael Gallup, DAL | 31 | Adam Trautman, NO | 70 916 and 14 TDs as a senior, the Saints made him a day two priority. He can do it all but HC Sean Payton made sure to mention his incredible 3 cone time to showcase his athleticism. You'll need to be patient as Jared Cook is still there as well as Taysom Hill who is also being utilized as a tight end. Might turn it on late. | ||||||||||||||
35 | 32 | Nick Foles, CHI | So Trubisky won the job, only so he can lose the job. Now Mariota is on IR. Will probably last 3 weeks. | 32 | Mark Ingram II, BAL | 200 carries, 5 yards per carry, 10 rushing TDs, including 5 receiving TDs. What more could you ask for in 2019. Now he's 30 so expect this to pull back some as the rookie gets acclimated. | 32 | Diontae Johnson, PIT | 32 | Gerald Everett, LAR | We're probably too hard on Everett. Injuries have been his biggest setback and with the departure of Cooks there'll be some targets (72 in 14 games) to go around. Just an injury away from a very productive season. | ||||||||||||||
36 | 33 | Derek Carr, LV | I don't thik he'll make it past Week 5 as the starter. | 33 | Zack Moss, BUF | I think its Singletary's job to lose, but in non PPR leagues I'd bump him ten spots. He's a downhill thumper and should be in the goal line and short yardage packages. Allen is always a threat to vulture as well. | 33 | T.Y. Hilton, IND | WIsh we could have seen some chemistry between he and Rivers. Plus he seems to get banged up rather frequently. Let others take a shot. | 33 | Cameron Brate, TB | We're probably sleeping on him and who knows, he may end up Brady's favorite TE if there's an injury to Gronk. | |||||||||||||
37 | 34 | Tyrod Taylor, LAC | 34 | Boston Scott, PHI | Scott is a nice roster addition to your fantasy team. He will be useful more than we think and with an injury to Sanders becomes an every week starter. | 34 | Julian Edelman, NE | 34 | Kyle Rudolph, MIN | 39-367-6 was his worst year since 2014. | |||||||||||||||
38 | 35 | Jalen Hurts, PHI | He's bound to see some action considering how hard it is for Wentz to stay on the field. | 35 | Phillip Lindsay, DEN | Our insiders in Denver feel he has enough talent to hold off a furious full court press from Gordon. We could see a dreaded time share situation. | 35 | Preston Williams, MIA | Might be the best WR on the team, and I'm a big Parker guy. | 35 | Jimmy Graham, CHI | A change of scenery should help, even though he no longer has the speed to beat teams down the field. | |||||||||||||
39 | 36 | Mitch Trubisky, CHI | 36 | Marlon Mack, IND | Solid handcuff to Taylor with potential for more if Taylor struggles. | 36 | Deebo Samuel, SF | May be ready week one. Underwent surgery in June to repair a Jones fracture in his left foot. Never good, but Shanahan now hopes he'll be ready for the season opener. I'm not buying it, but I love his potential when healthy. He's a buy and hold. | 36 | Vance McDonald, PIT | |||||||||||||||
40 | 37 | Jameis Winston, NO | 37 | Matt Breida, MIA | 37 | Jamison Crowder, NYJ | Darnold's favorite target. One of my fellow drafters reminded me how often he's going to get peppered with targets. | 37 | Robert Tonyan, GB | News that Robert Tonyan is expected to open the season as the Packers' top pass-catching tight end. SPending time on the reserve / COVID19 list isn't helping. I still think Sternberger is more talented and will eventually win the job, but it might take a month or two to happen. | |||||||||||||||
41 | 38 | Ryan Fitzpatrick, MIA | 38 | Latavius Murray, NO | Kamara holdout rumors continue so he's rising up my board. | 38 | Darius Slayton, NYG | One high stakes player I was speaking to called him “the next Steve Smith”. While I won’t go there, Slayton is a talented deep threat ready to emerge. He is NOT the fourth of fifth option as people are suggesting. Let’s recap why I’m so excited about his potential in 2020. In 2019, he caught 48 receptions for 740 yards and eight touchdowns despite starting in only nine games all season. While some are quick to point out his production came due to injuries at other positions, this just opened the door for him to emerge as Daniel Jones’ favorite (yes I said favorite) and most potent aerial weapon in the offense. Sterling Shepard is unreliable having unfortunately sustained multiple head injuries, including two last season, (both coming within three weeks of each other). Golden Tate is 32 years of age and has reached the elder mentor role. He’ll be the number one receiver in this emerging offense which is switching to more of a vertical passing game this season. His release and route running are tremendous and he showed exceptional ability in contested catch situations. He has to work on run blocking to complete the package but the chemistry is already there with Jones and Slayton represents tremendous value in drafts as a WR4 ready to provide WR2 production. 7th round to 10th round ADP. Target the 8th. | 38 | Dan Arnold, ARI | |||||||||||||||
42 | 39 | Andy Dalton, DAL | 39 | Chase Edmonds, ARI | With Drake dinged up, we might see an Edmonds opportunity arise. Very interesting flier. | 39 | Jerry Jeudy, DEN | After Taylor, I think he's the second best rookie in this class. Lock now has a ton of weapons. | 39 | David Njoku, CLE | |||||||||||||||
43 | 40 | Jarrett Stidham, NE | 40 | Jordan Howard, MIA | 40 | Marvin Jones, DET | 40 | Logan Thomas, WAS | Named the starter in Washington, for what it's worth. | ||||||||||||||||
44 | 41 | Taysom Hill, NO | 41 | Ronald Jones II, TB | He's rising rapidly. The Vaughn hype has slowed way down. | 41 | A.J. Green, CIN | Nobody knows if he can stay on the field, so he's down here. If he plays 16 games and has most of his speed back, he could obviously be a WR2. | 41 | Cole Kmet, CHI | |||||||||||||||
45 | 42 | Case Keenum, CLE | 42 | Alexander Mattison, MIN | 43 | CeeDee Lamb, DAL | Explosive potential, but he's in a crowded situation. Can still produce, but may not be reliable week to week without an injury | 42 | Ryan Griffin, NYJ | If anything happens to Herndon, I have no problem putting Griffin in my lineup. | |||||||||||||||
46 | 43 | Jacoby Brissett, IND | 43 | Tony Pollard, DAL | Apparently he's trusted by the coaching staff and may end up splitting carries with the rookie. Wow wow wow. | 42 | Emmanuel Sanders, NO | This is just a sweet setup for Sanders. Look out. | 43 | Jeremy Sprinkle, WAS | |||||||||||||||
47 | 44 | Kyle Allen, WAS | 44 | Joshua Kelley, LAC | Excellent option that should be more involved this season. Very exciting player. | 44 | Christian Kirk, ARI | 44 | Darren Fells, HOU | ||||||||||||||||
48 | 45 | Joe Flacco, NYJ | 45 | Kerryon Johnson, DET | Looks to have passed Justin Jackson on the depth chart already. He and Ekeler will be fun to watch. | 45 | Jalen Reagor, PHI | Shoulder injury has him missing the first month of the season, however he has the goods to be a number one wide receiver, but will probably see some special teams early on. I'm willing to wait for him. | 45 | Trey Burton, IND | |||||||||||||||
49 | 46 | Brian Hoyer, NE | 46 | Sony Michel, NE | His knee injury put an end to an unimpresive sophomore season (3.6ypc) and he missed 8 games. Swift is better in every way but does represent handcuff potential. | 46 | Brandin Cooks, HOU | Already an injury. Does this sound familiar to you? | 46 | Jordan Akins, HOU | |||||||||||||||
50 | 47 | Jeff Driskel, DEN | 47 | James Robinson, JAC | Another back on the depleted Jacksonville roster that has a chance to contribute on early downs. Undrafted from Illinois State with 4,400 rushing yards and 44 TDs but the film looks solid. Looking more and more like a Robinson/Ozigbo backfield with Thompson the 3rd down back. | 47 | Sterling Shepard, NYG | Sterling Shepard is unreliable having unfortunately sustained multiple head injuries, including two last season, (both coming within three weeks of each other). | 47 | C.J. Uzomah, CIN | |||||||||||||||
51 | 48 | Robert Griffin, BAL | 48 | James White, NE | Without Brady, I'm just not seeing it. | 48 | Henry Ruggs III, LV | Explosive and the top receiver taken in the draft to the surprise of many. | 48 | Jacob Hollister, SEA | |||||||||||||||
52 | 49 | Chris Thompson, JAC | A PPR dream, but hasn't been healthy since 2017. | 49 | Parris Campbell, IND | His ADP is WR60, so you can wait, but don't sleep on him because he didn't perform his rookie season. He's set to start every snap from the slot in year 2. He has WR1 upside and TY will likely miss time. | 49 | Jason Witten, LV | |||||||||||||||||
53 | 50 | Benny Snell Jr., PIT | TARGET. His ADP is 206 RB79, so as you can see, I'm much higher on him than others. If Conner misses time, its Snell's job to lose. | 50 | Anthony Miller, CHI | 50 | Nick Boyle, BAL | ||||||||||||||||||
54 | 51 | Tevin Coleman, SF | 51 | Bryan Edwards, LV | The star of training so far. Keep an eye on. I have a Ju Ju vibe about him. Was the top rated devy WR after his sophomore and junior seasons and then suffered a knee injury and later broke his foot before the combine. He was on his way to a 1st round grade. | 51 | Josh Oliver, JAC | ||||||||||||||||||
55 | 52 | Darrel Williams, KC | Represents tremendous value considering the fact remains that Mostert has never been the starter. | 52 | Brandon Aiyuk, SF | It's clear Shanahan has Aiyuk rated as the #2 WR on his board behind Lamb. Huge opportunity to produce right out of the gate with the injuries to Samuel and Hurd. Explosive on sweeps and screens but will have to learn the offense. I'm a big fan. Has a 12th Round ADP so grab others first. | 52 | Delanie Walker, FA | |||||||||||||||||
56 | 53 | A.J. Dillon, GB | Oh my. This pick screams of potential. They will find a way to get him in the fold and this will be detrimental to Jones RB1 status. He's that good. He's a downhill runner who should really get going in the cold month of December at Lambeau. | 53 | N'Keal Harry, NE | Loads of potential here. Let's see if he has the routes down this year. | |||||||||||||||||||
57 | 54 | Damien Harris, NE | Just landed on IR with a hand injury. He'll be out at least 3 weeks, but this just makes him more of a value on draft day. Don't be surprised if Bilichick pulls a fast one and names Harris the day one starter and he never looks back. | 54 | Mecole Hardman, KC | ||||||||||||||||||||
58 | 55 | J.D. McKissic, WAS | Just named the starter in Washington. Surprise surprise. | 55 | Justin Jefferson, MIN | He's one Thielen injury away from being a WR1 right out of the gate. Early reports have Olabisi Johnson in front of him but that shouldn't last long. | |||||||||||||||||||
59 | 56 | Darrell Henderson, LAR | 56 | Breshad Perriman, NYJ | Don't sleep on him! Really like what I saw late last season and he was rewarded with a nice contract to a team who will be playing from behind a lot this season. I'm real close to adding him in the tier above. | ||||||||||||||||||||
60 | 57 | Jerick McKinnon, SF | Keep hearing rumors that he might be immediately better than Tevin Coleman on day one now that he's fully healthy. Keep an eye on. | 57 | Laviska Shenault Jr., JAC | Flashing really well. The coaches can't stop talking about him. Keep an eye on and snag late in your draft. You don't have to take him this early, but this is where I have him ranked. You can probably snag him in your last round. | |||||||||||||||||||
61 | 58 | Bryce Love, WAS | He might just be the most well rounded back on the roster. Gibson is still my preference, but Love had something special in his early college years. | 58 | Mike Williams, LAC | ||||||||||||||||||||
62 | 59 | Malcolm Brown, LAR | Don't be surprised if he leads in touches through the first few weeks. | 59 | Allen Lazard, GB | When talent meets opportunity. He gets a shot to contribute right away. | |||||||||||||||||||
63 | 60 | Lynn Bowden Jr., MIA | Was traded probably due to off the field conduct and may be switched to WR in Miami. A big playmaker with the ball in his hands. | 60 | Golden Tate, NYG | ||||||||||||||||||||
64 | 61 | Duke Johnson, HOU | 61 | John Brown, BUF | |||||||||||||||||||||
65 | 62 | Darrynton Evans, TEN | There's a lot to like about Evans but he hasn't flashed well in camp. Talent usually rises to the top, so I think by mid season he is a servicable PPR lightning to Derrick Henry's thunder. | 62 | DeSean Jackson, PHI | You're twisting my arm. Fine. He'll start for the first month of the season and then who knows. | |||||||||||||||||||
66 | 63 | Adrian Peterson, DET | Now a Lion, may contribute until Swift returns from injury and maybe longer. 4 years of familiarity with the coaching staff. | 63 | Hunter Renfrow, LV | ||||||||||||||||||||
67 | 64 | Anthony McFarland Jr., PIT | You have to watch his video highlights to appreciate how special this kid might be. He's rising up my board. | 64 | Sammy Watkins, KC | His on the field percentage was higher than Hardman's, and I'm not convinced that will change this year. We're probably all too low on Watkins. | |||||||||||||||||||
68 | 65 | Brian Hill, ATL | 65 | Robby Anderson, CAR | Teddy briefly practiced with him when he was a Jet, so maybe there's some familiarity. | ||||||||||||||||||||
69 | 66 | Nyheim Hines, IND | 66 | Steven Sims, WAS | |||||||||||||||||||||
70 | 67 | Darwin Thompson, KC | The KC backfield has potential if the rookie doesn't hit right out of the gate. | 67 | Denzel Mims, NYJ | The rookie has been banged up a few times in camp. He should become Darnold's favorite deep threat. | |||||||||||||||||||
71 | 67 | Ke'Shawn Vaughn, TB | Has missed time on the COVID list and the other backs have shined. Has long term upside and if RoJo falters in any way (injury, fumbling, COVID etc) Vaughn could pounce and steal the job. | 68 | Curtis Samuel, CAR | ||||||||||||||||||||
72 | 68 | Carlos Hyde, SEA | 69 | Michael Pittman Jr., IND | |||||||||||||||||||||
73 | 69 | Dare Ogunbowale, JAC | Picked up by the Jags. Cut by the Bucs after the Fournette signing. | 70 | Van Jefferson, LAR | Has a great opportunity to seize the number 3 job, but has a talented Josh Reynolds in front of him. WIth an injury however, he's in 3 WR sets. | |||||||||||||||||||
74 | 70 | Jamaal Williams, GB | 71 | Tee Higgins, CIN | Great upside, especially if Green is not 100%. | ||||||||||||||||||||
75 | 71 | Lamical Perine, NYJ | 72 | Russell Gage, ATL | The number 3 Wide Receiver in Atlanta has value. | ||||||||||||||||||||
76 | 73 | Eno Benjamin, ARI | With Drake already dinged up, Eno might get called up. Don't be surprised if its Edmonds/Eno week one. | 73 | Corey Davis, TEN | The "I was wrong" about player of 2018 and 2019. I still believe he can be good, but he has to believe it first. | |||||||||||||||||||
77 | 74 | Justin Jackson, LAC | 74 | Marquez Valdes-Scantling, GB | Trending up this pre-season. Maybe he turns the corner. | ||||||||||||||||||||
78 | 75 | Peyton Barber, WAS | One of the few backs remaining on the roster. Don't be surprised when he has more carries than anyone else. | 75 | Alshon Jeffery, PHI | Working back from foot surgery, with no timetable to return. Will start the season on PUP. | |||||||||||||||||||
79 | 76 | Frank Gore, NYJ | 76 | Tre'Quan Smith, NO | Drew Brees expects a breakout. I'm going to listen! | ||||||||||||||||||||
80 | 77 | Patrick Laird, MIA | 77 | Olabisi Johnson, MIN | Running as the WR2 currently. Jefferson is clearly the superior receiver but we might see a few quality starts out of the gate. | ||||||||||||||||||||
81 | 78 | Mike Davis, CAR | Now the handcuff to McCaffrey. | 78 | Larry Fitzgerald, ARI | ||||||||||||||||||||
82 | 79 | Rashaad Penny, SEA | May take him some time to return from last year's injury but should contribute when he does. | 79 | J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, PHI | Looks like he's lining up as a starter until Reagor and Jeffery come back. While his rookie campaign was a bust, his potential coming into the league was there. | |||||||||||||||||||
83 | 80 | Giovani Bernard, CIN | 80 | James Washington, PIT | |||||||||||||||||||||
84 | 81 | Mike Boone, MIN | Looked good in limited action last year. | 81 | Dede Westbrook, JAC | ||||||||||||||||||||
85 | 82 | DeeJay Dallas, SEA | 82 | Randall Cobb, HOU | |||||||||||||||||||||
86 | 83 | Gus Edwards, BAL | 83 | Cole Beasley, BUF | With the addition of Diggs, he's now the #3 in Buffalo. Played very well last season | ||||||||||||||||||||
87 | 84 | LeSean McCoy, TB | I think he'll be cut or traded at the first sign of injury on the roster. | 84 | John Ross, CIN | Touchdown machine last season. Let's see if he can keep it up. | |||||||||||||||||||
88 | 85 | Ryquell Armstead, JAC | Just landed on the reserve/COVID list, the second such time he has landed on the list. He may have just been exposed but he should be out for a few weeks. Chris Thompson will see more work while Devine Ozigbo and James Robinson will also get a shot to contribute now. Big, quick feet, impossible to bring down with an arm tackle. Hits the hole extremely hard. Has a great opportunity to seize the job for the time being. | 85 | Kenny Stills, HOU | ||||||||||||||||||||
89 | 85 | Justice Hill, BAL | 86 | Chase Claypool, PIT | An explosive red zone threat from Notre Dame scoring 13 TDs last season. With the Steelers playing 70% of their snaps from a 3-WR set, Claypool has a chance to see some action. | ||||||||||||||||||||
90 | 85 | Dion Lewis, NYG | 87 | Kendrick Bourne, SF | The Fantasy Exec's Pre-Season Pro explains this ranking. He should be involved early on. It will be up to him to hold on to the job after Deebo comes back. | ||||||||||||||||||||
91 | 87 | Ito Smith, ATL | 88 | Tyler Johnson, TB | Save for your last pick, but he has immense upside. Unfortunately for him, he has been injured and missed all of camp so far, so Watson and Miller are getting all the reps with Brady. We've seen other players excel in this situation, but it makes it more difficult. I have faith he wil be roaring by mid-season. | ||||||||||||||||||||
92 | 88 | Jalen Richard, LV | 89 | Devin Duvernay, BAL | The coaching staff moved up to get him in the third round. A 4.39 40 and a thick 5-10 200 pound frame makes for an intriguing situation. | ||||||||||||||||||||
93 | 90 | Devine Ozigbo, JAC | Just landed on IR with a hamstring. This paves the way for Dare. Gets an opportunity. 5-11, 222 lbs 4.7 40. Played at Nebraska where he produced an impressive 7.1 yards per carry. | 90 | Jakobi Meyers, NE | Perhaps a nod of confidence when Sanu was cut. | |||||||||||||||||||
94 | 91 | Rex Burkhead, NE | 91 | Antonio Gandy-Golden, WAS | Rookie has upside. | ||||||||||||||||||||
95 | 92 | Devonta Freeman, FA | May get signed, but some report he's not in game ready shape so would need time before contributing. | 92 | Miles Boykin, BAL | ||||||||||||||||||||
96 | 93 | Royce Freeman, DEN | 93 | Andy Isabella, ARI | It's hard when you're playing behind one of the greatest receivers of all time. His time will come. | ||||||||||||||||||||
97 | 94 | Jaylen Samuels, PIT | 94 | Demarcus Robinson, KC | The #5 target for KC has value in bestball leagues, but week to week will be hard to start. | ||||||||||||||||||||
98 | 95 | Kyle Juszczyk, SF | 95 | Phillip Dorsett, SEA | Fastest player on the roster apparently. | ||||||||||||||||||||
99 | 96 | DeAndre Washington, KC | Cut by the Chiefs. | 96 | Chris Conley, JAC | ||||||||||||||||||||
100 | 97 | Lamar Miller, FA | Cut by the Patriots. | 97 | Danny Amendola, DET | ||||||||||||||||||||
101 | 98 | Reggie Bonnafon, FA | Cut by the Panthers. Mike Davis is now the CMC handcuff | 98 | KJ Hamler, DEN | ||||||||||||||||||||
102 | 99 | Derrius Guice, FA | Cut and released for alleged crimes. | 99 | Ted Ginn, CHI | ||||||||||||||||||||
103 | 100 | Taysom Hill, NO | Probably a TE or QB in your league. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
104 | 101 | Josh Reynolds, LAR | Looks like Van Jefferson may be passing him on the depth chart. I'm mildly surprised by this. I didn't think it would be that quick. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
105 | 102 | Zach Pascal, IND | |||||||||||||||||||||||
106 | 103 | Auden Tate, CIN | |||||||||||||||||||||||
107 | 104 | Willie Snead, BAL | |||||||||||||||||||||||
108 | 105 | Adam Humphries, TEN | |||||||||||||||||||||||
109 | 106 | Nelson Agholor, LV | |||||||||||||||||||||||
110 | 107 | Keke Coutee, HOU | |||||||||||||||||||||||
111 | 108 | David Moore, SEA | |||||||||||||||||||||||
112 | 109 | Mohamed Sanu, FA | |||||||||||||||||||||||
113 | 110 | Antonio Brown, FA | At some point, it's worth a flier, but be prepared to hold him for a looong time. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
114 | 111 | Tyrell Williams, LV | Season-ending IR. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
115 | 112 | Jalen Hurd, SF | Torn ACL. Sad situation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
