You can analyze every draft pick from every direction. (And we do that here at Footballguys).
But a massive part of fantasy football is about having fun. And nothing is more fun than drafting a rookie that explodes and makes you look like a genius.
Currently, there is a rookie at each position that is both a fun pick and is climbing draft boards. They are the kind of players who can help you grab a title in December.
Let's look at them individually.
RB TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots
Where Footballguys Has Him
- Projections: RB21
- Expert Rankings: 65th overall
Where He's Going
| Site | Overall | Change | Pos Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESPN | 49 | ↑15 | RB18 |
| Yahoo | 66 | ↑9 | RB24 |
| NFL | 63 | ↑4 | RB23 |
| CBS | 48 | ↑4 | RB20 |
Recommendation
Preseason touchdowns have shown how explosive Henderson can be. The fantasy community is seeing it too. (Henderson's ADP has risen 15 spots in the last week.) For the last few weeks, drafting Henderson has been fun, but now, on ESPN and CBS, he is simply going too early. While taking him on Yahoo and NFL is defensible, it might not be there. A "fun" pick going too high can quickly turn unfun if they don't give you value.
