Tua - Probably improved, still a back end fantasy QB at best

Swift - Being over drafted a bit and injury prone. Like him a round later than his current ADP
Etienne - Talented player, think he has a bigger year but still Jrob there to dig into his workload
Akers - Do not like at all
Kamara - Like a lot around his ADP if not suspended

M. Thomas - Lots sleeping on him, could have a nice comeback year
JuJu - A less talented WR1 for Mahomes, Skyy Moore here now and Tkelce of course.. I'm so-so on Juju. Dont love him, dont hate him
Cooper - Like when Watson comes back. But I think he will be too inconsistent for majority of the fantasy regular season to select around his ADP. Would consider in later pick ranges than his ADP

Kittle - Stay away


Tua might be a good sneaky QB2 in a 2QB league.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that's not in love with Swift. Even when he was eating last year, Jamaal Williams was sniping TDs
Why don't you like Akers? I find myself avoiding him in mocks drafts by picking a WR instead in the 3rd/4th round. Based on snap % when he returned last year, he could easily be a 20+ carry a game RB

Tua - Won't be drafting, I will be watching the first couple weeks as a potential back up
Etienne - Safe floor with his passing work
Akers - Likely lead back, if he can get back to rookie form huge steal
Kamara - All in on Kamara.
Mike T - The disrespect of this man being draft late 5 sometimes 6 is crazy to me.
Cooper - Never been a fan unless playing best ball + the QB looks to be Brissett.... Pass
Kittle - Not worth the draft capitol in my opinion


Agreed with Etienne, only worth his ADP if ppr.
Yeah Thomas at that round has insane upside. If he ends up being a top 5, or even 10 WR the people that avoiding him are going to be sick.

On Akers, it's really the piled up injuries for me. Miles Sanders wasn't mentioned but it's the same with him

At the RB position, I want to limit as much risk as possible (especially with earlier round picks) which is where Akers seems to get picked

If he's healthy you're right though

edit: in a 2QB league I would like Tua a lot more yes

You must be avoiding CMC too then ;) I'm willing to draft any RB, just have to be sure to handcuff guys the injury prone ones.
Akers to me isn't as scary as many others when it comes to getting injured. Based on recent history these guys I'd be more worried/expected to get injured:
CMC/Henry/Ekeler/Mixon/Cook/Barkley/Conner/Swift/Etienne/Dobbins/Kamara/Any Seattle RB/few other lower tier ones. Most of these have been injured more than Akers has & older
Akers is on a high scoring offense, Stafford has a bum elbow rn that may lead to more carries for the RB's, Michel is gone. Henderson has had many opportunities to take the starting role and always loses it
It may be simple enough that a lot of people are sleeping a 1st round production from Akers, including myself. The more I think about it, the more I don't see how he doesn't get 20+ touches a game & consistent touchdowns.

Lol unless you have a top 2-3 pick it seems CMC doesn't make it very far anyway..but yeah I mean there is no denying the risk with him plus the team around him isn't great

I'd be more willing to take certain guys depending on league settings as well. Ekeler in a PPR, Kamara PPR, Henry in a standard, etc. League settings would influence my RB risk tolerance

And that's a fair projection for Akers given the other RB's in that room, but there just isn't much history to go off of for him. Had 4.3 y/a in 2020 on 11 touches a game. Then just always hurt.. I'm sure he can handle 20+ a game and would be successful, but the fact is he has never actually done that. So injury risk plus unproven prior history is why I wouldn't select him around his ADP, but not saying he can't do that if healthy
