I've had almost no time to research this year and my draft is coming up Saturday.
I'm hoping some of you no-lifers can provide me with some of your high-value targets through the early to late rounds, especially who you're keeping an eye on in those always pivotal middle rounds.
Sleepers, rookies, comebacks, etc... whatever you got, lmk.
I like RB's early, position gets thin pretty fast. Miles Sanders a nice target in 2nd round that can easily return first round value given what he did as the lead back for the Eagles in the last 5 weeks of last year. Project that over a full season and he's a top 6-8 RB. The coach has said numerous time he's the guy this year also. He isn't practicing right now, small thing, but it is not considered major. Clyde Edwards Hilaire another guy you could look at if you don't have a top 5 pick but he's shot up draft boards as well.
If you have a top pick, I'd rank the backs as follows - 1. Mccaffrey, 2. Barkley, 3. Zeke , 4. Kamara
Early round WR's I like (if WR is your flavor), Davante Adams, Godwin. I think Godwin is the WR to own in Tampa if picking between the two, think he explodes with Brady as this type of player usually thrives w/ Tom and should be a favorite target of his. How Edelman was a favorite target for him in NE, it will be like that with Godwin, as he is a similar style player but just way better. Can't go wrong with Dhop/Thomas/Jones but those two stand out to me as well if the others aren't available.
I think DJ moore is poised for a nice year, and Adam Thielan with Diggs being gone.. the vikings #2 WR is very average, and justin jefferson who is expected to be their #3, apparently has been struggling to beat the 2nd string defense (this could in turn hurt theilan with the D focusing on him, but he is very clearly their best receiving option, and should see a lot of targets).
More names I like in the more mid rounds are AJ brown (expect him to build off stellar rookie year) / Robert Woods. Other backs like Melvin Gordon / and Chris Carson if still need a RB in 3-4th rounds. Ekeler could be nice as well around these rounds, if PPR league. If willing to take a risk on David Johnson I've seen him going in 5th round and he could return nice value, if healthy.
Tight End's - Love Mark Andrews this year if you are willing to use a somewhat earlier pick on a TE. Darren Waller also big on. I'd stay away from Zach Ertz, with Dallas Goedert being a big factor in the Eagles offense. Late round flyer I like TJ Hockenson, before his injury he was killing it.
General Sleepers (imo) you could get in later roundsWR's
Jalen Reagor
Diontae Johnson
Sterling Shepard
Michael Pittman Jr
RB's
JK Dobbins
Zack Moss
Jordan Howard (Brieda often injured and they cut kallen Ballage)
or Brieda , either have sleeper potential as they are going pretty late
