Next up is the *consensus* WR1, Ja’Marr Chase. You may think I am crazy to have Bateman as my WR1 but I’m here for it. In 2019, he brought in 60 receptions for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns – good for over a third of his teams’ yards and touchdowns through the air. He has elite potential at the next level. For Bateman, he decided to opt out of the season for COVID reasons (or maybe QB play) then came back, then opted out again after a few games for a final time. Is having Rashod Bateman at 7 th ahead of Chase and Smith a “hot take?” Bateman had a strange 2020, as did all of us. Plus, according to Player Profiler, Pitts' “best comparable” is LeBron. It will be interesting to see his measurables and other combine times. We may never get another Travis Kelce, but Pitts may be the next closest thing and there is no advantage like having a TE putting up WR1 numbers week in and week out. I’ve been of the mindset that drafting Travis Kelce in the first round is a huge advantage, and the people of Twitter have convinced me Pitts is the next big thing in the thinnest of all positions. In non-superflex leagues, Pitts is a top 3 fantasy prospect. It feels bold enough having Pitts at number six, but I am tempted to move him up the list even more. Lance’s ceiling is sky-high, and he is worth the risk in your 2-QB/SuperFlex leagues. When it comes to passing + rushing upside, 2020 Josh Allen is who comes to mind. Again, the rushing upside in fantasy is always something to be considered when selecting your (fantasy) franchise quarterback. In his lone game in 2020 he had a subpar passing performance (15/30 149 YDS 2 TD 1 INT) but added 15 carries for 143 yards and 2 touchdowns. He had an excellent 2019 campaign, albeit not the SEC, he threw for 28 touchdowns and zero interceptions. Trey Lance has been my QB3 since last year and that’s where he stays as of now. ETN will be an RB1 someday, but for now, he’s my RB2 in this class.Īnother North Dakota State quarterback with all the physical tools - 6'4" 226 pounds, and can make every throw - Lance has all the potential to be one of the next elite quarterbacks of the NFL. He likely won’t get the rushing workload in the NFL that we want to see, similar to Kamara’s situation, but whoever drafts him will definitely utilize him in the passing game. One of the biggest issues for Etienne going into the season was his comfortability in the receiving game, but he sure looks comfortable now. Etienne is a smaller back, at least compared to Harris (5’9” 210lbs to 6’2” 230lbs) but he is absolutely electric on the field and is made for the modern NFL. He surprised many by opting to return to Clemson for one final season rather than entering the 2020 NFL Draft. Fields has also shown his upside running the ball as well with 19 rushing touchdowns in 31 career collegiate games which is something that simply can’t be forgotten in the fantasy realm.Įtienne has been another hot name for quite some time. Throwing for 41 touchdowns to just three interceptions in his junior season, Fields has shown just what he can do with the ball in his hands. Odds are Lawrence will be selected before you blink, but Fields is a fantastic prospect with the physical traits to take over in today’s NFL. Not to mention Najee has entered the conversation for biggest quads.įields could easily be #2 on this list, and if you have the second overall pick in your draft it will be difficult to pass on the Ohio State QB when you are on the clock. Najee jumps off the screen, almost literally, when you watch him play. While it’s a small sample size, I have seen enough to know it’s there. As a junior at Alabama, Harris had (only) 27 receptions but he went for over 300 yards and 7 touchdowns. That is some high praise, but the scariest part is Harris has serious receiving potential at the next level which is what sets him apart from the guys below him on this list. When he runs, he looks like a combination of Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry. Najee Harris has all the physical tools to dominate at the next level. Let’s just hope the Jags don’t leave Lawrence for the wolves like the Colts did with Luck. Lawrence is as sure-fire of a prospect as we have ever seen, at least since Andrew Luck. 2021 Top 12 Dynasty Super Flex Rookie Rankings (Pre-Draft)
