Round 4 One-Sentence Summaries
ADP | Player | Team | Position | 10-Team | 12-Team | ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY |
37 | Amari Cooper | DAL | WR-15 | 4.07 | 4.01 | Amari Cooper’s demise has been greatly exaggerated; in games with Dak Prescott, he averages 78 yards per game on 6 catches, but those numbers sound about right for WR15. |
38 | Chris Carson | SEA | RB-18 | 4.08 | 4.02 | Carson has a reputation for being injury-prone, but he’s averaged 14 games played over the last three seasons while averaging over 90 yards per game and 10 touchdowns per sixteen games; he’s incredible value in the fourth round. |
39 | Kyler Murray | ARI | QB-3 | 4.09 | 4.03 | Kyler Murray averaged 28.4 fantasy points before injuring his shoulder against Seattle in week 12; he has the best shot at QB1 out of everyone not named Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, and I don’t hate the draft range here. |
40 | Miles Sanders | PHI | RB-19 | 4.10 | 4.04 | Touches might be a problem for Sanders under the Sirianni system, but he’s so efficient that the hate might have gone too far, here; he averages 4.9 yards per carry and 9.1 yards per reception so far in his career. |
41 | Julio Jones | TEN | WR-16 | 5.01 | 4.05 | The future Hall of Famer switched teams from Atlanta to Tennessee, and faces a system with fewer pass attempts… but Julio had a career-high yard per target in 2020 before injuries wiped away his campaign. |
42 | Lamar Jackson | BAL | QB-4 | 5.02 | 4.06 | Lamar Jackson is the one player that I’m not sure what to do with; he finished as QB1, then QB9, and now he’s going as QB4… do whatever you want, I don’t know! |
43 | Chris Godwin | TB | WR-17 | 5.03 | 4.07 | Chris Godwin as WR17 feels like a steal, but also not one… he missed four games in three different stints last year, but paced out to 80 catches for 1,122 yards and 10 touchdowns in the second half. |
44 | Kyle Pitts | ATL | TE-4 | 5.04 | 4.08 | Please do not take Kyle Pitts as TE4, even if he gets used as a WR, rookie wide receivers notoriously have a terrible time transitioning to the league (about one-in-five taken in the first three rounds returns a top-36 season their rookie year… in 2020 WR36 was about TE4). |
45 | Josh Jacobs | LV | RB-20 | 5.05 | 4.09 | Josh Jacobs is a two-down banger who saw an uptick in targets last season out of desperation; Bryan Edwards’ emergence and the Raiders signing Kenyan Drake destroys that desperation. |
46 | Mark Andrews | BAL | TE-5 | 5.06 | 4.10 | Mark Andrews is quietly one of the most efficient tight ends in the NFL, averaging half a point per route run (#5); it’s a choice between him and T.J. Hockenson if you want to dive into this tier; for my money, I’m going Hockenson. |
47 | Tyler Lockett | SEA | WR-18 | 5.07 | 4.11 | Tyler Lockett is an incredibly disrespected wide receiver who goes as Russell Wilson goes, so if you think Wilson will have a big season, then Lockett will as well; he paced out for 96 catches, 1,094 yards and 13 touchdowns in the Let Russ Cook Era (without the 200 yards, 3 TD game). |
48 | Cooper Kupp | LAR | WR-19 | 5.08 | 4.12 | Kupp is my favorite pick in this range specifically because he belongs with the round three wide receivers, not borderline in the Adam Thielen range; he averaged a very nice 69 yards on 6 catches per game over the last two years. |
Round 5 One-Sentence Summaries
ADP | Player | Team | Position | 10-Team | 12-Team | ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY |
49 | Adam Thielen | MIN | WR-20 | 5.09 | 5.01 | Please don’t do this; he posted the lowest yards per target in his career since becoming full-time last season, and he’s gone down in yards per target in each of the last two seasons. |
50 | Dak Prescott | DAL | QB-5 | 5.10 | 5.02 | Prescott was my QB3 before a persistent back issue compounded the question marks surrounding his ankle recovery; he’s dropped to QB5 for me, but he’s firmly off of my draft boards because I don’t want to get caught catching a falling knife. |
51 | D.J. Moore | CAR | WR-21 | 6.01 | 5.03 | Moore is an interesting case, because if you think he can break through from his 1,100 yard, 4-touchdown consistency, then he looks like a huge value; if you don’t think he will, then he’s just a guy you pass over… I am in the second camp. |
52 | T.J. Hockenson | DET | TE-6 | 6.02 | 5.04 | T.J. Hockenson is my TE4 this year, so getting him as TE6 feels like a boon; he’s the last of the solid tight ends before we get into the questionably-similar tight end blob territory. |
53 | Travis Etienne | JAX | RB-21 | 6.03 | 5.05 | Unfortunately, ADP has not yet corrected for Travis Etienne’s injury; do not draft him, as he is officially out for the year. |
54 | Aaron Rodgers | GB | QB-6 | 6.04 | 5.06 | I don’t really understand this ranking; he had an all-time Aaron Rodgers season in an all-time career and he was still QB3; spare me your Revenge Tour chatter, he’s always been angry, and he doesn’t run anymore, so I’ll pass on him here. |
55 | Diontae Johnson | PIT | WR-22 | 6.05 | 5.07 | Fantasy football twitter tells me drops don’t matter, but my eyeballs tell me Diontae Johnson isn’t the most dynamic receiver in Pittsburgh; I like this spot in full-PPR leagues but in half and zero-PPR, give me Chase Claypool in the sixth, instead. |
56 | Russell Wilson | SEA | QB-7 | 6.06 | 5.08 | Wilson and Herbert make up two-thirds of my second tier of quaterbacks; he’s the only QB to total at least 30 touchdowns in each of the last four seasons, and is as solid and steady as they come… but the price is a little high since Ryan Tannehill goes three rounds later. |
57 | Brandon Aiyuk | SF | WR-23 | 6.07 | 5.09 | I don’t have as much faith in his upside as a lot of people (saying he has top-12 WR upside this year), but Deebo Samuel reminding us he gets banged up this week has me looking Aiyuk’s way a bit more. |
58 | Justin Herbert | LAC | QB-8 | 6.08 | 5.10 | Herbert came just shy of holding both the passing touchdown and passing yardage rookie records last year; his upside is tremendous, but his floor is subterranean, making him a risky pick here… again, because Tannehill goes in Round 8. |
59 | Darrell Henderson | LAR | RB-22 | 6.09 | 5.11 | It’s been quite the offseason for Hendo; Cam Akers’ injury vaulted him up draft boards, then he hurt his hand and the Rams traded for Sony Michel… I’m probably going to sidestep this headache entirely given that I like running backs in this range a lot more than Henderson on a talent level. |
60 | Mike Davis | ATL | RB-23 | 6.10 | 5.12 | Mike Davis’ role in Atlanta gets more secure by the day; the Falcons cut Javian “2021 James Robinson” Hawkins and Sony Michel is a Ram; Lev Bell or David Johnson could still blow this, but Todd Gurley showed no interest in returning to Atlanta. |
Round 6 One-Sentence Summaries
ADP | Player | Team | Position | 10-Team | 12-Team | ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY |
61 | Kareem Hunt | CLE | RB-24 | 7.01 | 6.01 | I don’t think there’s anything I can say here that will dramatically change anyone’s opinion of Kareem Hunt in any direction; he is what he is: the short-end of a platoon in a run-first offense, but with the upside of a top-five back. |
62 | Ja’Marr Chase | CIN | WR-24 | 7.02 | 6.02 | Chase was the first wide receiver off the board this draft, but he’s struggled so far in preseason; his ADP is likely to dip, and I probably won’t touch him for another couple of rounds. |
63 | Myles Gaskin | MIA | RB-25 | 7.03 | 6.03 | I don’t think I will have any of the other guys in this round in a snake draft because I love Myles Gaskin that much; he led all running backs in yards per reception last year and the talks of a committee have been greatly exaggerated. |
64 | Chase Claypool | PIT | WR-25 | 7.04 | 6.04 | Chase Claypool “faded” down the stretch specifically because Mike Tomlin limited his snaps to ease his rookie year transition into the NFL; his 0.501 fantasy points per route run ranked second among rookies and between Julio Jones and Allen Robinson in 2020. |
65 | Tee Higgins | CIN | WR-26 | 7.05 | 6.05 | Higgins is my favorite Bengals’ wide receiver this season; he reminded me of Kenny Golladay last year, and from the bye week to the fantasy championships, he averaged 5 catches on 8 targets per game, giving him a good floor headed into 2021. |
66 | Odell Beckham | CLE | WR-27 | 7.06 | 6.06 | He has as many missed games as touchdowns over the last three seasons (13), and he averaged 4.4 catches for 62 yards with the Browns; that production is fine, but someone will overdraft him because of the name… just don’t be that guy. |
67 | Tom Brady | TB | QB-9 | 7.07 | 6.07 | Tom Brady had a season last year that would have finished top-three for the vast majority of Brady’s career, but since he doesn’t run, this feels like the right range for him. |
68 | Chase Edmonds | ARI | RB-26 | 7.08 | 6.08 | The news out of Arizona has gone from “Chase Edmonds is the lead back and the camp battle is one in name only” to “what even is a lead running back, really?” in a very short amount of time; I’m not interested in Edmonds outside of a full PPR league because of this situation degradation. |
69 | Kenny Golladay | NYG | WR-28 | 7.09 | 6.09 | Golladay is nursing a hamstring injury (again) after switching teams; this is a recipe for disaster, and one I’m not likely to reach into this draft season. |
70 | Javonte Williams | DEN | RB-27 | 7.10 | 6.10 | Melvin Gordon is dealing with a leg injury, which opens the door for Javonte Williams to steal the starting role in Denver, though I doubt it’s that clean cut; that having been said, he thrived in a two-back system at UNC. |
71 | James Robinson | JAX | RB-28 | 8.01 | 6.11 | James Robinson is the lead back in Jacksonville now with an oft-injured Carlos Hyde to spell him; I’m not saying 2021 will be 2020 again, but it sure will rhyme. |
72 | JuJu Smith-Schuster | PIT | WR-29 | 8.02 | 6.12 | I love this pick in a PPR league… I hate this pick in a non-PPR league; JuJu’s main draw is beaucoup targets, and the Steelers adding Najee Harris likely changes the passing game around in Pittsburgh. |
