Fantasy Football: Best and worst value picks by round (1-8)
By Ben Grivas
Round 6
Best: Kareem Hunt – ADP 65 (6.05)
There aren’t a ton of values in the 7th round, but Hunt shouldn’t be in a tier with D’Andre Swift, Raheem Mostert, and Cam Akers. Hunt was the RB23 in PPG during his half season (Nick Chubb was RB22). With new head coach Kevin Stefanski’s commitment to the running game and Hunt’s 88 target pace, he’s lined up for an RB2 season in PPR leagues. If Chubb gets injured or can’t play for any other reason, Hunt becomes a top-6 running back for fantasy purposes. You could argue that he has the highest floor and the highest ceiling out of anyone in this round.
Other Contenders: Marquise Brown (6.10)
Worst: Raheem Mostert – ADP 66 (6.06)
Raheem Mostert was incredible during his stint as the starter toward the end of last season, but it was about as sustainable as Nick Foles’ 7 touchdown game. Kyle Shanahan rides the hot hand when it comes to his running backs, giving Mostert no guarantee to even start after a few mediocre games. Mostert’s reliance on touchdowns, positive game scripts, complete lack of receiving work and iffy job security make him an easy fade at his ADP.
Other Contenders: D’Andre Swift (6.04)
