Dynasty Startup Mock Draft: 1QB, Half-PPR
Pick 1.06 – Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)
The concern with Breece Hall last season was his health. Thankfully, he got taken off a pitch count in Week 5, totaling 177 rushing yards and 26.9 fantasy points in an impressive performance against the Denver Broncos. Hall ended the year on fire, averaging 22.6 fantasy points per game over the final five weeks, totaling 22+ points in all but one contest. He should be the second running back picked in startup dynasty drafts behind Bijan Robinson.
Pick 2.07 – Kyren Williams (RB – LAR)
Kyren Williams came out of nowhere last year, totaling two rushing touchdowns and 17.4 fantasy points in the 2023 season opener. He finished the year as the RB6, averaging 19.9 fantasy points per game despite missing five games. Christian McCaffrey was the only running back to average more fantasy points per game than Williams last season. Unless the Rams take a running back on Day 2 of the NFL Draft he will have a featured role again in 2024.
Pick 9.06 – James Conner (RB – ARI)
The knock against James Conner is his injury history, having missed four games in back-to-back seasons. However, the veteran is one of my favorite running backs to draft despite turning 29 in May. Arizona could pick a running back on Day 2 of the NFL Draft but didn’t do it last year when they had the backfield. More importantly, Conner has finished as a top-10 running back on a points-per-game basis in back-to-back years.
