Fantasy Football Draft Values
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 the RB1 overall potential in his outlook.
Round 2 – Deebo Samuel (WR – SF)
For some reason, Deebo Samuel is being drafted behind Brandon Aiyuk, even though in 2023 Aiyuk managed only four top-20 weekly finishes, was held below 80 receiving yards on eight occasions, didn’t score touchdowns in 60% of his games and finished as 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 touchdowns in 43% of his games. Samuel is more productive, more diverse and wins in ways integral to the Niners’ scheme.
Round 3 – DK Metcalf (WR – SEA)
The Seahawks brought in new offensive coordinator, Ryan Grubb from Washington, hot off turning them into one of the most exciting offenses in college football. Grubb has reportedly told Geno Smith he sees this offense running through him as a drop-back passer and they’ll lean heavily on play-action, which will enable DK Metcalf more time to get open downfield and open up the field more. Metcalf has gone over 1,000 yards in three of the last four seasons seeing over 100 targets in each of his five years in the NFL. Metcalf has week-winning upside if this Seahawks offense can get back to their winning ways.
