Round 4

31. Team 10 — WR Mike Evans, TB
32. Team 9 — RB Chris Carson, SEA
33. Team 8 — RB Miles Sanders, PHI
34. Team 7 — RB David Montgomery, CHI
35. Team 6 — WR Amari Cooper, DAL
36. Team 5 — QB Patrick Mahomes, KC
37. Team 4 — WR Robert Woods, LAR
38. Team 3 — WR CeeDee Lamb, DAL
39. Team 2 — WR Diontae Johnson, PIT
40. Team 1 — RB Darrell Henderson Jr., LAR

Thoughts: A few selections really jump off the page here. First up is Chris Carson, who has continuously shown that when healthy, few are better on the field week-to-weekt. It has felt for a few seasons now he could show to be an RB1 more than an RB2 but with injuries not going away anytime soon, it’s difficult to give him any consideration until the fourth.

As you can see, the first quarterback is off the board here as well in Patrick Mahomes. While he may not finish as first every season, Mahomes continues to be the dominant player at the position every year. He’s worth the high price.

Finally, the trio of wide receivers at the end of Round 4 all have opportunities to explode this season. Robert Woods will experience life with a better quarterback this season as Matthew Stafford will be at the helm of the Los Angeles Rams. CeeDee Lamb may establish himself as the number one receiver on the Dallas Cowboys this season and would likely be a WR1 if so.

Diontae Johnson ate up targets last year from Ben Roethlisberger and we expect it to be the same this year — but he will actually catch them. If that’s the case as expected, he could have a special season.

Round 5

41. Team 1 — WR Chris Godwin, TB
42. Team 2 — WR Ja’Marr Chase, CIN
43. Team 3 — WR Adam Thielen, MIN
44. Team 4 — WR Tyler Lockett, SEA
45. Team 5 — RB Travis Etienne, JAX
46. Team 6 — WR Cooper Kupp, LAR
47. Team 7 — WR Julio Jones, TEN
48. Team 8 — TE Mark Andrews, BAL
49. Team 9 — QB Josh Allen, BUF
50. Team 10 — WR D.J. Moore, CAR

Thoughts: Never thought we would see the day where Julio Jones would go any later than the second round, but here we are. Jones could be a solid selection for anyone this season as he could play above his average draft position.

Josh Allen has established himself as the clear second quarterback in fantasy and another fantastic season could make him the number one moving forward.
