Mile-High Expectations
The fifth running back off the board, RJ Harvey handled 232 carries for 1,577 yards and 22 TDs in 2024, after posting 1,416 yards and 16 scores the year before.
Despite waiting to land him, make no mistake: The Broncos wanted Harvey. They view him as a home run hitter.
As Dave Kluge wrote for the Footballguys Rookie Draft Guide 3.0 (which will be available Wednesday), "Sean Payton offenses have typically featured a thunder-lightning approach. Think of Deuce McAllister and Mark Ingram II as the thunder. Alvin Kamara, Darren Sproles, and Reggie Bush the lightning. Harvey fits the archetype of the latter."
Among the biggest movers this week: Lamar Jackson surged 6 spots, Jayden Daniels climbed 4, and Bo Nix jumped 8. But which of these rising QBs most deserves the boost?
So today, we ask you Footballguys:
🗳️ POLL: Which rising QB most deserves their recent NFFC ADP surge?
When you vote in the Poll below, you'll see the current standings, and we'll post the final results in the next edition of the Daily Update.

We Don't Have the Information We Need: Micro Edition
I discovered fantasy football in 1986. It was terrific, and I loved it. Nonetheless, as I assessed the aftermath of my first fantasy football game, one thing became readily apparent: We didn't have the necessary information to do it right.
That realization led me to make providing that information to other fantasy managers my life’s work.
Now, more than 30 years later, there's no end to the information available to me.
That's the macro view.
Ironically, on a micro level, I now find myself drafting in the dark -- by choice.
It's early April. While most free-agent moves are behind us, some are still to come. And the NFL Draft is two weeks out.
And that's precisely why this moment matters.
Early best ball isn't about perfection. It's about identifying mispriced talent before the market adjusts. Even if you're not in the draft rooms yet, tracking current Average Draft Position (ADP) trends -- and how they shift -- helps set your baselines and sharpen your projections.
We've already done an initial assessment of the quarterback and running back values. Now it's time to get a feel for the next position on our list. Steel yourself for this one because . . .
Receiving Talent Runs Deep
In early best ball drafts, wide receivers are flying off the board -- and for good reason. Elite wideouts with week-winning upside and consistency you can build around dominate the first round.
But the real beauty of the position is its depth.
Whether you're going receiver-heavy early, anchoring with a stud running back, or leaning into a zero-WR build, value exists in every tier -- from veterans with sliding ADPs to breakout candidates in uncertain roles to second-year players on the verge of a leap.
Today, we're breaking down the best WR values across the board -- helping you stack smart without chasing ADP . . .
Chase joined an exclusive club in 2024, becoming the sixth receiver to lead the NFL in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns in a single season to win the Triple Crown. Jerry Rice, Sterling Sharpe, Steve Smith Sr., and Cooper Kupp are the only other receivers to accomplish the feat since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970.
Chase posted 127 receptions for 1,708 yards and 17 TDs, finishing with a dominant 403 PPR points -- 85.5 more than WR2 Justin Jefferson. According to SI.com's Michael Fabiano, that's the biggest gap between the first and second wideouts since 2021, when Kupp scored 95.2 more points than Davante Adams.
In addition, Chase had two of the top-three wideout scores of the season with a 45.1-point effort in Week 14 and 55.4 in Week 10, the highest total for a wideout all year.
No surprise then that Chase is generally the first player off board, ahead of running backs Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson. Naturally, that means you're not getting many shares of Chase unless you're drafting very early in the first round.
But I have good news. Round 1 is loaded with high-end talent at wide receiver that allows fantasy investors to . . .
Start Building On The Outside
Including Chase, eight wide receivers are being drafted in Round 1. Here's the list:
