Fantasy Football: Best and worst value picks by round (1-8)
By Ben Grivas
Round 3
Best: Allen Robinson – ADP 29 (3.05)
If your draft matched ADP perfectly, you could draft Alvin Kamara, Chris Godwin and Allen Robinson from the 5 spot. That’s nuts. Nick Foles should surpass the incredibly low bar Mitch Trubisky set last year and finally feed the starving A-Rob with some quality passes. With a whopping 154 targets last year and no threats to those targets on the roster, Allen Robinson should be a lock to finish as a WR1 this year, especially in PPR. He may not have top-5 upside in that offense, but he’s not going to bust, which is what you should be looking for in your early round picks.
Other Contenders: JuJu Smith-Schuster (3.09)
Worst: Le’Veon Bell – ADP 36 (3.12)
There’s no justifying taking a shot on Le’Veon Bell in the third round. There’s so much wide receiver value on the board in this spot that you shouldn’t pass on unless you already have three receivers. Even if you go wide receiver heavy early on, there’s better running back options then Le’Veon Bell, who is on a terrible offense and that will hardly give him the chance to improve too much on his grand total of 4 touchdowns last year.
Other Contenders: Odell Beckham Jr. (3.08)
