Fantasy Football: NFL rookies to target plus big-boy comparisons

When it comes to drafting rookies in fantasy football this specific year, I have just one piece of advice: draft only running backs.

Rookie running backs have helped owners win their leagues for over the last couple decades or so (Clinton Portis, Adrian Peterson, Alfred Morris, Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott). Quarterbacks and wide receivers have always suffered through a steeper learning curve getting into the NFL and running backs are more of a plug and play.

There is some elite talent in this year’s rookie running back draft class and I would do whatever it takes to get at least one of them on my roster this year.
