I almost made it three rookies in a row by taking DeVonta Smith, a player I love. While tight end is a tough position to transition to from college, Pitts might be able to break through that rookie wall. And he joins a good offense in Atlanta led by Matt Ryan. By now, you probably know about Pitts’ talent. At the end of Round 8, I think it’s worth a shot. This is the first time I’ve taken Pitts in a mock or real draft all year. I’m a believer in Williams and think he’ll surge later in the year, perhaps similarly to Jonathan Taylor‘s 2020 finish. While Williams will likely start the year in a timeshare with Melvin Gordon, I have a good feeling he could take over the starting job as the season goes on. Positional scarcity wound up breaking the tie between Williams and receiver Tee Higgins. But Aiyuk offers more upside as a vertical threat and could be the WR1 in San Fran this season.
Aiyuk’s skillset is similar to his teammate’s, Deebo Samuel, in that he’s a beast with the ball in his hands. I add even more upside to my receiving group with Aiyuk, who also posted a solid rookie season despite rocky quarterback play. The Oklahoma product almost put up 1,000 yards as a rookie and did so without Dak Prescott for the majority of the year. There were a ton of good receivers on the board with this pick, but I’m going with the guy who has the highest upside in Lamb. Receiver is deep, I’m not going with a tight end, and I’ve got my quarterbacks. When healthy, he’ll own the majority of the touches and should be a solid RB2.
And at the end of Round 4, I think Carson’s a value. I think he’s an ordinary talent, but he’s made the most of his opportunity in Seattle. I suspect Herbert will take another leap in 2021, and I’m confident I’ve secured two top five quarterbacks. However, the Oregon product showed he has legit NFL talent, and the Chargers have surrounded him with a very good supporting cast and solid protection. Yes, Herbert will be with a new offensive coaching staff. I love it when a plan works out! Herbert was indeed available with my third-round pick, and it was a no-brainer. With just two picks separating me from my next selection, I’m banking on Herbert still being on the board, as that team has Mahomes and may opt to address other positions. That’s why I chose him over Austin Ekeler too. Gibson offers three-down ability and could finish as a top 6 running back if things go his way. I went back and forth on this pick a couple of times, deciding between Gibson and Justin Herbert. But from a fantasy perspective, he feels like a slam dunk and a great start to my roster. Now, Allen has to prove his breakout season was real. The addition of Stefon Diggs took his production to the next level, as Allen put up 4,544 yards and 37 touchdowns with just 10 interceptions. The Buffalo gunslinger took enormous strides from an accuracy standpoint, completing nearly 70% of his passes. In this case, Mahomes was off the board, so I happily grabbed Allen. Picking at the top of a Superflex draft offers the opportunity to take either Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen. Note: I was randomly assigned the second pick in this draft. Whether you’re an experienced Superflex player or interested in trying the format for the first time, I’ll break down my strategy for success in this unique format. With that being said, I sat down and conducted a 12-team Superflex mock draft using the outstanding DraftWizard. But it’s a fun change-up from the traditional formats that still put too much emphasis on running backs and receivers. Sure, there are flaws, as it props up all quarterbacks, not just the elite ones like the real NFL. Superflex is one of my favorite formats to play in fantasy football because it’s one of the easiest ways to make quarterbacks more valuable.
