Fantasy Football Rankings: 41–60
Fantasy Football Big Board 2017 21–40
41. Isaiah Crowell, RB, Browns
With the confusing situation at quarterback in Cleveland this season, Crowell will be the workhorse. He should receive a lot of touches and should amass at least 1,000 yards and 7–8 TDs. Crowell is a borderline RB1 in my eyes.
42. Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Broncos
Sanders is the number two option for the Broncos, but he is still a quality receiver option this early in the draft.
43. Ty Montgomery, RB/WR, Packers
Getting touches in the backfield and out wide drastically increases his chance to rack up big fantasy points. Montgomery could be selected even higher than this in a PPR format.
44. Stefon Diggs, WR, Vikings
Diggs has been a big time player for the Vikings for the last couple seasons, and with the vikings embracing Sam Bradford as the signal caller, look for that to continue.
45. Bilal Powell, RB, Jets
With Matt Forte aging, Powell is the next player in line to get the touches he would have. Powell is a major sleeper.
46. Mark Ingram, RB, Saints
Ingram is still the number one guy as of now, even with Adrian Peterson and rookie Alvin Kamara in town. Ingram should emerge as the week one starter and get the goal line carries, but will have his numbers decline from the past two years.
47. Greg Olsen, TE, Panthers
Olsen is Cam Newton’s most reliable and consistent target, and will be the guy he goes to on third downs and in big moments. Olsen is always a good pickup in fantasy.
48. Spencer Ware, RB, Chiefs
With Jamaal Charles in Denver, Ware will be the signature back for the Chiefs. Ware is a shifty back who is also a threat to catch a pass out of the backfield. Ware is a very safe, solid option in rounds 4–6.
49. Eddie Lacy, RB, Seahawks
Lacy looks to return to his 2014 pro bowl form, and I believe that he can to just that in Seattle. The Seahawks love to run the football,(unless they’re on the one yard line in the super bowl) and Eddie Lacy is just the workhorse they need. He should be a solid successor to beast mode.
50. Christian McCaffrey, RB/WR, Panthers
McCaffrey is already one of the most dynamic offensive players in the league, and a threat to get points in a myriad of ways, such as running, receiving, and returning. The top ten rookie spent most of the pre draft process working as a wide receiver, and that should show up on the field. Jonathan Stewart is aging, and many of his touches will go to McCaffrey.
51. Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Cardinals
At age 33, Larry Fitzgerald is still going strong. Until the day he retires, he will be the main target for Carson Palmer.
52. Terrelle Pryor Sr.,WR, Redskins
Pryor has been praised by his teammates in Washington, and should be a major component in an explosive Washington offense. Pryor could be one of the top receivers in the NFL this season if everything goes according to plan.
53. Jamison Crowder, WR, Redskins
Crowder is a speedy receiver who is a touchdown threat at all times. He should be a consistent option on your team.
54. Davante Adams, WR, Packers
Adams had some big games last season. He is the type of player who gets points in bunches, which is a value asset to stash on your bench until the week is right to unleash him.
55. Dalvin Cook, RB, Vikings
Cook was incredibly productive in college, but fell to the Vikings due off of the field issues and shoulder concerns. Dalvin Cook will compete with Latavius Murray for the starting spot in the backfield.
56. Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs
Kelce has been one of the most consistent players in football throughout his career, and this trend looks to continue.
57. C.J. Anderson, RB, Broncos
There will be competition in camp at the running back position in Denver, with free agent signing Jamaal Charles and second year player Devontae Booker also looking to start. Anderson should be the week one starter.
58. Joe Mixon, RB, Bengals
Mixon is in a very intriguing situation. Joe Mixon is incredibly talented, but fell far in the draft due to off the field issued. Mixon could easily become the starter in Cincinnati, and have a Jordan Howard-type season.
59. Delanie Walker, TE, Titans
The Titans drafted Corey Davis to be the number one target for Marcus Mariota, but for now, Walker still has that distinction. Walker is the top pass catcher in a talented Titans offense.
60. Donte Moncrief, WR, Colts
Moncrief is entering his contract season, and should be motivated to perform. Moncrief is the second receiver in an elite Colts offense.
