Darrel Williams (RB – KC): RB56
One of the better insurance RBs in all of fantasy football this season is going to be Williams. With Le’Veon Bell and Damien Williams both out of town, Williams should not only see some work on his own, but he holds incredible upside if CEH were to miss time. I’m attempting to snag Williams with one of my last picks everywhere this off-season.

Larry Rountree (RB – LAC): RB94
While this No. 2 RB job in LA has yet to be decided, my best guess is that Rountree locks it down by the start of the regular season. While he’s a 6th-round pick out of Missouri, he has the skillset and talent to slide in as a perfect compliment to Ekeler. In an offense that figures to be in the red zone quite a bit, the goal line back could be very valuable for fantasy football. At a current ADP of RB79, he’s worth taking the shot on with your last pick in your draft.

Rondale Moore (WR – ARI): WR66
Moore’s an incredibly electric and dynamic athlete at the WR position that should fill a valuable role for this Cardinals offense. He has shown time and time again throughout his college career at Purdue that he can make truly jaw-dropping plays after the catch and he should have several big performances this season in Arizona. With that being said, he does come with a lengthy injury history and he’s going to have to be insanely efficient with yards after the catch in order to ever enter our starting lineups in fantasy football this season. He has the talent to be an every week factor, but will his usage and efficiency be consistent enough to break into the FLEX conversation?

Bryan Edwards (WR – LV): WR69
Edwards certainly has the talent to be a factor for fantasy football, but injuries seem to be holding him back. He should have a clear role in this offense as a starter in 2021 and he could breakout if everything goes his way. At his current ADP, he’s worth taking a shot on to see if he can emerge in this offense, but it’s certainly far from a guarantee. His stock is certainly on the upswing as we head into the regular season though.

Tre’Quan Smith (WR – NO): WR74
Smith was someone that I was keeping a close eye on and acquiring in my drafts for super cheap before the MT injury news and he’s certainly on my radar now. Smith is now the de facto WR1 in this offense and he should see as many targets as he can handle while Thomas is out of the lineup. He should get off to a hot start and could be someone worth rostering the entire season. While it’s a bit of a risk due to the fact that we haven’t seen Smith truly breakout up to this point of his NFL career, he’s worth the shot if you can get him as a WR4 on your roster. We’ll have to see where his ADP settles as we head into draft season before we fully make any strong claims. We’ll continue to monitor this as we move forward, but he’s certainly an intriguing option to snag late if your drafts are happening right now.

Gabriel Davis (WR – BUF): WR75
Davis showed his big-time playmaking ability last season on numerous occasions and he seems poised to take a big leap in his second year. It’s highly likely that he steps onto the field as a starter in 3WR sets and we know how powerful this offense can be when it’s rolling. With his talent and opportunity, Davis could easily return value on where he’s being drafted right now as a late-round pick. Additionally, he comes with incredible upside if something were to happen to one of the other receivers in this offense and they were to miss time. There’s very little downside to drafting Davis and the upside is through the roof.
