The RotoUnderworld Team is conducting its rookie mock draft. We will be splitting up each of the four rounds into four separate pieces outlining the advanced stats and metrics that justify each selection.

Despite his satellite back build, Justice Hill could be the best all-around back on the Baltimore Ravens. As such, he makes for a great pick in both dynasty and redraft leagues.

Carlos Hyde is not a threat to Damien Williams. Julian Edelman is being selected way too late in dynasty start-ups.

Josh Adams and Mike Davis were the biggest losers from the NFL Draft. How much will A.J. Brown presence throttle Corey Davis in fantasy football?

Todd Gurley’s knee is officially a real problem. How high will Darrell Henderson’s ADP soar in seasonal formats?

Better Rams RB stash: Malcolm Brown or John Kelly? Breshad Perriman is in rhythm with Jameis Winston early in camp!

There is still room for Tarik Cohen to improve upon his 86 targets and RB11 finish. Chicago’s +3.50 Game Script in 2018 indicates that the Bears played with a lead at a league high rate and passed the ball on first down just 48% of the time.

The Bears have made a concerted effort to get the ball in Cohen’s hands. Among running backs with an average of 50 targets over the last 2 seasons, Tarik Cohen was second behind only Alvin Kamara in targets per pass route over the last 2 years.

Dexter Williams vs. Ryquell Armstead: Which late round running back has maximum potential in dynasty leagues? A Dwayne Haskins breakout would propel Jordan Reed, Trey Quinn, Derrius Guice, Paul Richardson, and even Josh Doctson.

Jameis Winston letting a golf ball get hit off his head was a bad decision. Matt Ryan won the draft, because the Falcons drafted maximum offensive line protection.

Is Mike Evans a compiler? Does is matter? Can a running back like Ronald Jones who busted that hard actually be good?

O.J. Howard is a slam dunk value pick. How good can an elite grinder like Derrius Guice be in that Washington offense?

The RotoUnderworld Team is conducting its rookie mock draft. We will be splitting up each of the four rounds into four separate pieces outlining the advanced stats and metrics that justify each selection.

Mecole Hardman was one of the biggest post-draft risers given his landing spot and similarities to the player he’ll presumably be replacing in Kansas City, Tyreek Hill.

Oakland’s drafting of Josh Jacobs in the 1st round was a damaging blow to whatever remained of the dynasty value of Jalen Richard. According to Rotoviz’s ADP Dynasty App, Richard has been the RB67 over the last 30 days. His advanced stats and metrics profile paint a much more optimistic picture.

Ito Smith operates in an efficient and high-scoring offense and is the direct backup to a physical runner that will demand a significant workload and that has already suffered three documented concussions and multiple leg injuries. Atlanta saves 3.5 million dollars if Devonta Freeman is cut before June 1 of next year and $6.3 million dollars the following year.

Irv Smith landed in the ideal situation in Minnesota as soon as Kyle Rudolph is traded. In Noah Fant, Joe Flacco has the best tight end since the Dennis Pitta era.

Was Todd Gurley ironically Tre Mason’d? Benny Snell was just a depth add.

Tyler Lockett is an excellent slot-flanker with speed (most comparable to John Brown on PlayerProfiler.com) that is serviceable from the slot; he played in the slot on 34.7 percent of his snaps last year. He lead the league in yards per target (13.6) last year and had 7.8 touchdowns over expectation per PlayerProfiler.com.

Russell Wilson should remain a top fantasy option in 2019 even with the departure of Baldwin. Many people think that Wilson will suffer from an efficiency regression. This makes sense given his extraordinarily high efficiency numbers accompanied by low attempts in 2018. However, this also should marginally reverse as well, effectively canceling out the expected regression.
