#Yahoo fantasy football mock draft upgrade

Lamar Jackson's carries can't go away, either, because he's the league's most efficient runner.ĭalton: Davante Adams is the most interesting dilemma, having the argument to be the No. We can't just wish away Gus Edwards he'll continue to share the rushing workload. He saw only two targets in his final five games. Even when he surged last year in the second half of the season, he was averaging just a dozen carries per game and he had almost no role as a receiver. (I'm shaking my head in disapproval as I type.) Dobbins is plenty fun, a huge talent, but the workload is an obvious concern. Another classic look-at-me pick from Dalton. That landscape is gross (New England certainly didn't help improve things by signing Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith, limiting both their upsides) and I'm willing to reach on a player that's been the TE1 for five consecutive seasons.Īndy: J.K. Given my draft position, however, I didn't want to wait. Liz: Considering Andy was able to scoop Kittle (natch) and Matt got Waller in the third, it could be argued that I reached for Kelce at the end of Round 1. That said, I very well may have taken the wrong 49ers back, as Harmon grabbed Trey Sermon a round after I took the brittle Raheem Mostert. Then again, my pick of Chase Edmonds might well count at RB23.ĭalton: I didn’t see any picks as obvious reaches, but I would’ve gone with AJ Dillon or a rookie back ahead of Ronald Jones early in Round 9. I'll pass on guys like that in the third round. Matt: I'm sure DeAndre Swift will have a decent season, I'm just always going to be bearish about a running back who will likely split time while playing for an offense that has a real shot at scoring fewer than 23 touchdowns this year. I can’t wait to watch Pitts’s debut season (and I understand Arthur Smith is a wizard when it comes to tight-end scheming), but Pitts probably won’t be on my fantasy rosters.

Still, the Falcons have at least one receiver ahead of Pitts on the pecking order (two if Julio Jones stays), and Matt Ryan is merely a capable quarterback these days, not a kingmaker. Okay, I get it, Pitts is really a hybrid receiver and on some level, it’s unfair to lump him in with hand-on-ground tight ends who have been ordinary rookies. Scott: I recognize Kyle Pitts (pick 68 overall) is viewed as a once-a-generation tight end, but it’s difficult for me to ignore the lukewarm history rookie tight ends generally have. (AP Photo/Mark Zaleski) Biggest reach of the mock Brown has overall fantasy WR1 upside thanks to the set up in Tennessee. Generally, I am a value drafter, someone who plays off the room, but McLaurin is the type of player I will elbow others out of the way for.Ī.J. Ryan Fitzpatrick isn’t a long-term answer for WFT at quarterback, but compared to last year’s mishmash, this qualifies as a major upgrade. Scott: I wanted to weep when Terry McLaurin went in the fourth round I considered him as early as 2.09. Brown legitimately has WR1 overall in his range of outcomes due to projectable targets and his elite-level skill. Dalton took Brown ahead of all those guys. There are going to be many drafters in August who will look at Brown's production the last two years (without the proper context) and opt for more 'proven' upside names like Calvin Ridley, DK Metcalf, or DeAndre Hopkins. Dak Prescott also went way too late (60th overall), but I had already drafted QBs for each of my teams.

As the unquestioned feature back in a Rams offense that got a major upgrade at quarterback, Akers won’t be falling out of many first rounds come August. 5 player on my board right now, so he’s a steal to Andy in the middle of Round 2. Dobbins in the third round at RB15) but then also achieved balance by taking Mike Davis as his RB3 in Round 6.ĭalton: Cam Akers is the No. I love that he went after Jonathan Taylor at the third overall spot (and J.K.

Liz: I am regularly impressed with Dalton's 'get my guy' approach to passionate drafting.

I'll happily take that outside the top-30. CEH is still a versatile 22-year-old back tied to the league's best offense and he's the team's clear featured runner. In fact, he was actually sneaky-good last year - 1,100 scrimmage yards, 4.4 YPC, 8.3 yards per catch - but he was stonewalled at the goal-line a few times too many. CEH certainly wouldn't be the first running back to breakout in his sophomore season. He has a shot to turn a massive fantasy profit if that's really where he's gonna go when we're drafting for keeps.

Andy: Clyde Edwards-Helaire fell to Liz in the fourth round (pick 32 overall) in our mock, roughly 25 picks later than he was going by the end of the 2020 draft season.
