10 Rookie Draft Picks To Target & Avoid (2021 Fantasy Football ...

Which rookie draft pick outside the top-12 has the best shot at being a superstar?Trey Sermon (RB – SF) I just love the offense he is going to be playing in and a running back selected 88th in the NFL Draft is going to be expected to log snaps immediately. Sermon is a player that in three years could be one of the best fantasy producers from this draft class. Gainwell shined in the receiving game particularly, hauling in 51 receptions for 610 yards and three touchdowns during that season, showcasing elite hands with good lateral quickness to evade linebackers in tight spaces. In a new run-focused system with elite young skill position players, fantasy managers should take advantage of Gainwell’s ADP (20th overall, RB6) in 1QB rookie drafts based on his top-tier receiving ability that translates well into Sirianni’s system in 2021 and beyond. This isn’t technically the case for Stevenson, but he was drafted as the 7th running back off the board in the fourth round by the RB wasteland known as the New England Patriots. It is not often that a team built to win a Super Bowl immediately is picking as high as San Francisco did this past year, but here we are as Lance joins a team with one of the best offensive lines in the league to go along with loads of weapons and solid depth at running back and wide receiver. Brown was a first-round pick in 2019 and he has only 104 receptions for 1,353 yards receiving in his first two years in the league. I just believe he will be competing for targets with an underrated receiving corps and could become a victim of Kingsbury’s run-centric offense, as an improved offensive line anchored by the free-agent signing of C Rodney Hudson could create a lot more success with opening running lanes for Edmonds and Conner to dominate in between the hash marks. Considering the scheme and personnel, I’m fading Moore at his current ADP (11th overall, WR5) during the first round of 1QB rookie drafts.
