There have been years when taking a running back in the first round seems like a necessity because of the drop-off in quality, but that's not the case in 2021. And unless you have a top-four pick (when you should take one of Christian McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Derrick Henry or Alvin Kamara), it's OK to use your top pick on a wide receiver or even tight end Travis Kelce. Strategy Tip: It's OK to Not Draft an RB in the 1st RoundĪ lot of running backs will come off the board in the opening round of your draft. If Johnson and Ingram continue to underperform, Lindsay could end up earning a large share of the touches, making him an intriguing fantasy option. The Texans have a crowded backfield picture, with David Johnson, Lindsay, Mark Ingram II and Rex Burkhead all on their roster. He's also a great handcuff in case Jones gets injured. He's already been working with the first-team offense early in training camp, per Connor Hughes of The Athletic, which is a good indication of what the team thinks of its 2021 fourth-round draft pick.ĪJ Dillon will be the primary backup to Aaron Jones in the Packers backfield this year, which should give him more opportunities than in 2020, when he had only 48 touches as a rookie. Michael Carter could end up taking over as the Jets' lead running back during his rookie season. If any of them remain on the board at that point in your draft, try your best to scoop one of them up. These three running backs all have an average draft position in the eighth round or later.
Draft one of them and pair him with a late-round sleeper. While your leaguemates reach on these QBs, others such as Justin Herbert, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady will be among those likely waiting for you from the fifth round on. Mahomes, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson are the quarterbacks with an average draft position in the first four rounds. Other fantasy managers in your league will likely take Patrick Mahomes before the end of the second round. Strategy Tip: Don't Draft a QB in First 4 Rounds None of these three quarterbacks are players you should count on in Week 1, but they're strong options to consider for your bench in the second half of your draft.
He's reunited with wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who the Dolphins drafted out of Alabama, and Miami's offense has the potential to take off with Tagovailoa at the helm. Tua Tagovailoa still has a ton of potential even after he struggled in 10 games as a rookie in 2020. Maybe another year in the system and having better players around him will lead to a bounce-back season. He threw only eight touchdown passes, three of which came in Week 17 after most fantasy leagues had ended. The Giants added Kenny Golladay to their receiving corps and running back Saquon Barkley will return from injury, so Jones will have better playmakers around him and could put up bigger numbers as a result.Ĭam Newton disappointed fantasy managers with his first season in New England. Daniel Jones could take a big step forward in 2021, after struggling a bit during his first two NFL seasons.
