Fantasy Football Draft Values: Best Ball ADP
Round 1 – Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)
Despite playing with a miserable set of quarterbacks and a horrible offensive line, not to mention coming off an ACL injury, Breece Hall led all running backs with 93 targets and was second in receptions with 74. Due to the ineptness of the Jets’ offense, however, Hall finished with only eight touchdowns, tied for 17th among the position. Even with an aged Aaron Rodgers, that should be better this year. Hall has RB1 overall potential in his outlook.
Round 2 – Deebo Samuel (WR – SF)
Deebo Samuel is being drafted behind Brandon Aiyuk, even though Aiyuk managed only four top-20 weekly finishes in 2023, was held below 80 receiving yards on eight occasions, didn’t score a touchdown in 60% of his games and finished as the WR30 or worse on six occasions. Meanwhile, Samuel had eight top-20 finishes, matched Aiyuk with eight games below 80 yards and only failed to score in 43% of his games. Samuel is more productive, more diverse and wins in ways integral to the Niners’ scheme.
Round 3 – Cooper Kupp (WR – LAR)
Prolific rookie Puka Nacua stole all the headlines as he broke records but Cooper Kupp still looked good in 2023 with his 25.6% target share very close to Nacua’s 28.8% and his route participation outdoing Nacua’s 92.8% to 91.2%. Nacua is firmly entrenched in the first round, but is it crazy to imagine Kupp outproduces him this year?
