With the development of the NFL offenses towards a more pass heavy emphasis, the time has come for a completely new fantasy football draft strategy. When it comes to the running back position, don’t draft individual players: draft entire team backfields.

When they are both healthy, Devonta Freeman is a solid fantasy RB1 and Tevin Coleman is a volatile fantasy RB2 with week-winning explosiveness. If either Devonta Freeman or Tevin Coleman goes down, whoever is left standing will be a top-3 RB in fantasy football.

Is Josh Doctson an upside play or an insurance policy for other receivers on his team? Earlier this offseason Doctson looked set to gain a significant role in a high volume offense.

Josh Doctson’s ability to ascend will depend on the health and efficiency Washington’s other receivers, and how much volume Kirk Cousins, in a contract year, generates after the team invested in the running game this offseason.

Last year Minnesota’s Kyle Rudolph averaged 13.1 fantasy points per game (no. 3) despite carrying a late-round ADP in 2017. The tight end position is one that has plummeted in value, in part due to the number of late round tight ends who have turned into top players in a given season.

Jesse James has the opportunity to absorb nearly 80-plus targets and take over in the Heath Miller role, which was a reliable position for Ben Roethlisberger for 10 seasons. As a more explosive version of Heath Miller, James is a fringe fantasy TE1 in 2017.

The NFL talent and scouting establishment isn’t perfect. The Rams overdrafted Cooper Kupp based on Senior Bowl hype and counting stats. Kupp finished his collegiate career with an all-time NCAA-high 6,666,666 receiving yards and 73 receiving touchdowns.

Meanwhile small school Kenny Golladay is getting lost by a majority of fantasy football enthusiasts. Golladay is the better athlete, on a more productive offense, with the talent to become a WR2 and more for your fantasy squad.

There’s no denying the Steelers have talent, and boy do they have talent. From a dynasty perspective though, they scare the living you-know-what out of me.

Martavis Bryant wields 115.1 (94th percentile) Speed Score in the 94th percentile and a 128.3 (83rd percentile) Burst Score making him one of the most impressive size-adjusted athletes in the National Football League.

Behind Marshawn Lynch a second-year fantasy football sleeper hides in plain sight. Don’t let yourself fall victim to another hype train that could easily derail. Draft DeAndre Washington. Steal the Skittles. Taste the rainbow.

DeAndre Washington averaged greater-than 5.6 yards per carry in situations with seven or more defenders in the box. That accounted for over 62-percent of all of Washington’s rushing attempts.

Carlos Henderson possesses uncommon speed and burst to explode upfield after securing passes over the middle of the field. Henderson has the tools to be the effective slot receiver the Denver Broncos need to avoid negative plays and extend drives.

Interestingly, many of the NFL’s top yards after the catch receivers, from Golden Tate to Jarvis Landry, also posted below average Agility Scores at the NFL Scouting Combine.

This is a great year for finding value in the later rounds of your fantasy football dynasty drafts. Taywan Taylor checks the right boxes to be a perfect late round selection, particularly his exceptional agility that compares closely to elite NFL wide receivers.

Just as Doug Baldwin’s developed immeasurable rapport with a young, mobile Russell Wilson, Taylor is poised to become a trusted possession receiver-plus for Marcus Mariota. As Mariota matures, Taylor should get more looks as a key member of the Titans’ highly efficient offense.

Since the release of Jeremy Maclin, Tyreek Hill’s value has exploded after he flashed a successful rookie season and Andy Reid has declared Tyreek Hill will be the Chiefs’ No. 1 wide receiver heading into 2017.

This is the Peter Principle in action in the NFL. Kansas City is pushing Tyreek Hill out of his depth and setting him up to fail spectacularly. Hill is a low floor, low ceiling player primed for sophomore slump.

The hype surrounding Detroit’s rookie wide receiver Kenny Golladay is growing to be a very real thing, and at a rapid pace. Word out of OTA’s already has Golladay looking like the third receiver in the Lions receiving corps, which is good news for Anquan Boldin enthusiasts looking for a replacement level player in Detroit’s offense.

Standing at 6-foot-4, Kenny Golladay holds a significant three inch height advantage over Matthew Stafford’s favorite red zone target, while also boasting an athletic profile that any quarterback would want in his wide receiver.
