Three Players Who Are Being Taken Too Low In Fantasy Football Drafts

This week is the most popular for Fantasy Football drafts, as the preseason injury bug will no longer show its head.

And while many are strictly focused on who to take with their first few picks, what they choose to do in the middle rounds is just as important. And this year, there are a handful of players with massive upside who are simply falling too far in the middle of the draft.

Isaiah Crowell, RB, Cleveland Browns (ESPN Average Draft Position: 36.2)

This offseason, the Cleveland Browns put together an offensive line only rivaled by that of the Dallas Cowboys. They have four extremely good offense linemen in Joe Thomas, Kevin Zeitler, JC Tretter, and Joel Bitonio. And there will be no bigger beneficiary of this than Isaiah Crowell, a very talented Running Back who gets to run behind this powerhouse of an O-line. He is worthy of being picked in the second round of drafts because of his talent and surroundings, but is going at the end of the third and sometimes even falling to the fourth or fifth in most drafts.

Danny Woodhead, RB, Baltimore Ravens (ESPN ADP: 59.3)

When we look back at the past year of Fantasy Football in nine months, everyone will be kicking themselves for not thinking to grab Danny Woodhead. All of the circumstances of his situation bolster his fantasy value- he’s playing in a system where Running Backs are heavily featured in the pass game, with a Quarterback who loves throwing to Running Backs, and there aren’t any great proven threats on the team aside from him. Expect him to have a big role for Baltimore, and put up big numbers.

Pierre Garcon, WR, San Francisco 49ers (ESPN ADP: 77.2)

Garcon left Washington to reunite with Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco and become a top option for an offense. And for a player who is going in the seventh and eighth rounds in drafts, he has a tremendously high floor- there’s no conceivable scenario where he stays healthy and doesn’t put up good enough numbers to start on a week-to-week basis. He’s especially great in PPR leagues, due to the massive target share he will receive. If Garcon starts to slip, snag him immediately.
