Phase Two Playersĭerrick Henry: Proj Points - 256 ADP - 1.03Īlvin Kamara: Proj Points - 253 ADP - 1.04Įzekiel Elliott: Proj Points - 225 ADP - 1.05 All three have been elite fantasy running backs in the past, but there’s just a little bit of hesitancy with them that makes them less appealing than McCaffrey and Cook. This tier consists of Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara, and Ezekiel Elliott. Other players to consider: None Phase Two: Almost There (Picks 2 through 5)Īfter the “big two” players, there’s a tier of three running backs who are all excellent fantasy options but aren’t in the tier above due to some nagging issue. Don’t overthink it if you have a top-2 pick. The incredibly high floor and ceiling for both of these players make them fantasy gold.
He’s also likely to see more passing work - 4for4 has him projected for a whopping 83 receptions, compared to 58 for Dalvin.

Additionally, both of these players are the bell-cow running backs for their teams and are locked into a large number of touches. They offer abilities as both pass-catchers and rushers, something that is extremely valuable in fantasy. The clear-cut top-two options in 2021 - running backs Christian McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook - both have very few question marks surrounding their situation. Phase One PlayersĬhristian McCaffrey: Proj Points - 306 ADP - 1.01ĭalvin Cook: Proj Points - 262 ADP - 1.02 Historically, these most elite players have been excellent for fantasy teams, and there’s no reason to believe that won’t change this season. If you have either the first or the second pick in your fantasy draft this year, you’re in luck.
Phase One: The Top of the Top (Picks 1 and 2) Note: Half-PPR scoring was used for all projections and data.

With that said, making the right pick could mean many different things based on which first-round pick you get.
