That’s going to be a crowded backfield next year with Ingram, Edwards and Hill. But once he gets that job, that will be a hell of spot for him.

Vaughn in a dream spot, second best back in pass pro grade in this draft, he will be in the field

Akers landed in a good spot. Only competition is Henderson

It’s worth noting these rookies could miss some key practice time due to the Coronavirus shut down. They may not pick up as quickly as last year’s rookies

Vaughn got a great landing spot in Tampa
Raymond Calais is interesting in deep leagues late for the same reason

Denzel Mims could end up being the Jets number 1 WR this year

I also agree with rookies in redraft/ one year leagues value will be hurt by the Coronavirus.

Later long shots I like are

Gandy-Golden in Washington could easily be the number 2 to McLaurin

McFarland in Pitt with the injury plagued Conner

DeeJay Dallas in Seattle with the injury questions to Carson and Penny

More long term Proche in Baltimore and Hightower in Philly

Got Akers at 1.09 in a SF TD dynasty league. Pretty happy about it

this was the first year it seems (HS and college) CEH made it out relatively unscathed (until right before the playoffs at least)so I'm still skeptical of going super high on in him in fantasy, especially by the time drafts roll around and the hype has gotten crazy.

Akers and Taylor could provide similar booms at cheaper prices IMO

Dobbins is in a sick spot if Ingram misses any time, Baltimore RBs average over 5 a carry with Lamar in the backfield.

Second round capital spent by Ravens, if Ingram misses time could be like Chubb of 2018 or Sanders of 2019

Averaged over 6 per carry at Ohio State, he just joined the best rushing team of all time statistically in the Ravens.

#3 on a Dynasty redfraft behind Taylor and Clyde for me.

Lotterry ticket in a redraft for 2020.

gibson will be the one all of the fantasy "experts" fall in love with and hype the shite out of it all preseason....and then never mention his name again

Remember darrel henderson? They sure don't. Tony Pollard ringing any bells? Ah nah?

Tony Pollard is good to be fair. He is just stuck behind a monster.

but everyone knew that

they hyped him for a role in an offense that doesn't have that role (kamara's)

I'm more mocking how gibson will be a guy they never saw play (like Pollard), check his combine numbers, and then fall in love with how amazing he is. One person says it, then they all parrot.

4th most among draft-eligible RBs


I love Clyde, but Akers is bigger, stronger and faster.

LA's line is obviously a concern, but there is a lot of potential there.

Shenault should be drafted over nearly all of those receivers.
