Round 3

21. player. 28. . TE. Las Vegas Raiders. Darren Waller

21. Team 1

The second tight end off the board likely could be different in every draft this year as the debate of Darren Waller or George Kittle is real. That being said, we believe that Waller is the benefactor of better quarterback play and a team where he will definitely be the top option on his team this year.

. RB. Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Mixon. 22. player. 56

22. Team 2

It’s time we accept that Joe Mixon is not worthy of a pick that signals him as an RB1. That sounds harsh, but he has been a tough player to truly grasp and while he is a part of a Cincinnati Bengals team that should be good this year, we recommend waiting until the third. Mixon should prove his value here.

. RB. Detroit Lions. D'Andre Swift. 23. player. 50

23. Team 3

D’Andre Swift is a special talent that should be the clear lead back for the Detroit Lions after showing that he can handle the workload in his rookie season. Whether it is as a pass-catcher or runner, Swift is a stud who should be able to play up to his draft stock due to his abilities to make players miss. He should be Jared Goff’s security blanket this year.

24. player. 35. . WR. Tennessee Titans. A.J. Brown

24. Team 4

It’s quite possible that we have A.J. Brown too low on our list. Sounds crazy seeing that the addition of Julio Jones makes fantasy owners expect less number for Brown, but we think that should be more in the case of Jones than anyone else.

With the addition of the future Hall of Fame wide receiver, we’re confident Brown could see more one-on-one coverage than this past season. If so, he has the potential to reach epic numbers in his third season with the Titans.

25. player. 58. . WR. Washington Commanders. Terry McLaurin

25. Team 5

Terry McLaurin can be one of the best receivers in the league no matter who is throwing to him. That being said, the signing of Ryan Fitzpatrick to the Washington Football Team has us confident that McLaurin goes from high-WR2 to WR1 this season.

San Francisco 49ers. George Kittle. 26. player. 42. . TE

26. Team 6

Pound for pound, George Kittle might be the best overall tight end in football. His ability to both block and be a receiver puts him ahead of even Kelce in that respect. That being said, he has the lesser quarterback out of the “Big 3” for the fantasy tight end position, which forces us to have him be the third one off the board.

. RB. Kansas City Chiefs. Clyde Edwards-Helaire. 27. player. 124

27. Team 7

Clyde Edwards-Helaire has dramatically dropped down draft boards after a rookie season that saw him not live up to the hype of being a first-round selection. That being said, there’s no player with more potential of becoming a first-round pick that isn’t going in the first two rounds. Edwards-Helaire might be a league winner this season.

player. 57. . WR. Chicago Bears. Allen Robinson. 28

28. Team 8

It does not matter who is throwing to Allen Robinson anymore. As we take a look at the Chicago Bears, either Andy Dalton or Justin Fields will be the one giving him the ball this season. Expect him to go off in this contract year.

RB. Baltimore Ravens. J.K. Dobbins. 29. player. 26.

29. Team 9

J.K. Dobbins should be the guy in the Baltimore Ravens offense moving forward. While Gus Edwards is still there and should get a good amount of carries, we have seen what Dobbins can do with 15 touches a game. If he averages 15-20 like we are expecting, Dobbins could be a league winner in that dynamic offense.

. WR. Los Angeles Chargers. Keenan Allen. 30. player. 13

30. Team 10

Heading into last season, Keenan Allen was getting drafted later than he had in years with Philip Rivers gone and Tyrod Taylor expected to start the majority of the season. Then Taylor was injured before a game and the rest, as they say, was history.

Allen and then-rookie Justin Herbert showed instant chemistry together and with one year behind them, it could prove to be even better. As WR12 last year, we expect that to be where he finishes once again while the possibility of sneaking into the top 10 is also possible.
