The running back who made the biggest climb in the rankings is PIttsburgh’s James Conner. Devonta Freeman, who was released by the Atlanta Falcons, suffered the biggest fall as he is unranked and unsigned for the 2020 season.
SLEEPER
Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is the “sleeper” pick. With Tom Brady out of the AFC East, this may be the year the BIlls roll into the playoffs. Singletary would need to play a major role in Buffalo’s ascension to the top of the division.
