![]() How could we have seen Michel coming? Well, he was a first-round pick in the NFL Draft who was going to be playing for an offense that’d been top-six in scoring each of the last nine years. Health was an issue and he wasn’t a must-start every single week, but he was the best value to be found in the sixth-round. The knee injury he suffered against the Bears set him back a few weeks, and that’s on top of him missing much of the preseason due to a different knee issue. He wasn’t even a great pick here but was the best of the bunch.Īnother round that wasn’t great to find value but Michel was a rock-solid RB1/2 option for good chunk of the fantasy season. We knew Ingram was serving a four-game suspension, and if he hadn’t been, he would’ve been selected in the top three rounds. This was by far the worst round to find any value in fantasy drafts, as it was either Ingram or Kerryon Johnson, who was only useful for about a month of the season. There’s a legit discussion as to which receiver of the two should be taken first next year. Despite seeing 12 fewer targets than Brown during the fantasy season (Weeks 1-16), Smith-Schuster finished with two more receptions and 92 more yards than Brown, though he wound-up on the wrong end of the touchdowns, as Brown tallied 15 to Smith-Schuster’s six. ![]() It typically takes longer for a second-year receiver to overtake his MVP-caliber teammate, but Smith-Schuster gave Antonio Brown a run for his money in 2018. ![]() Runner-Up: Travis KelceĤth Round: JuJu Smith-Schuster (WR – PIT) Some predicted he would keep up his ridiculous level of efficiency with his targets, though nobody could’ve predicted he was going to be playing with the quarterback who set the all-time record for fantasy points in a season. Hill may not have been the most consistent fantasy producer, but as our WR2, he’s a monster. This one was tough, as it’s hard to pass up Travis Kelce‘s value in the third-round, but we’ll address tight end later. The reason we should expect it to continue in 2019? Well, for starters, Aaron Rodgers‘ 4.2-percent touchdown rate was the lowest of his career (when the starter), meaning Adams may not have even reached his true ceiling. Did you know that Adams didn’t have a single game with less than 16.0 PPR points this year? That’s consistency you’d pay a high first-round pick for. This was the first tough decision but knowing that we could find some value running backs later in the draft, we snag the No. He performed as expected and should be the consensus No. He was the guy you saw in the opposing lineup and scared you the most. Let’s be real… you likely wouldn’t have been in the playoffs without his services. Let’s not overthink this one, even if he wasn’t there when you needed him the most. It’s also important to keep in mind that just because a player scored the most points, it doesn’t mean he should be the player selected in that round, as we have to keep in mind the starting requirements for each position, which includes one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, one tight end, one flex (W/R/T), and one defense. While you’re never going to nail every pick, we’ll do our best to determine how we could’ve seen each player coming.Ĭreate Optimal DraftKings lineups using our DFS Lineup Optimizer toolįor this exercise, I’ll be using the consensus ADP across multiple websites. Have you ever sat back after the fantasy season and thought to yourself, “What would the perfect draft have been?” I may be alone in this, but it’s a fun exercise to look back and see what could have been.
