are running backs,[url=http://www.ramsfootballauthentic.com/samson-ebukam-jersey-authentic]Womens Samson Ebukam Jersey[/url], even more than usual,A quick scan of our fantasy football rankings shows that there are plenty of rookies who could produce immediately in 2017. Most of them, which means there will be a bunch of first-year sleepers drafted in the middle and late rounds of redraft leagues and early on in keeper/dynasty leagues. which are the ones you should avoid? Here are the updated rankings for the top rookies, and, perhaps just as important,But who are the best rookies to target across all fantasy positions in '17, followed by the sleepers and busts to note on your cheat sheets:
RB,1. Leonard Fournette, Jaguars
indicating he will see a high volume to go with his immense talent. With the Jaguars being precautionary with his minor foot injury,Fournette had a strong preseason debut against the Patriots, he should be good to go for his big role come Week 1.Target: RB1
RB,2. Dalvin Cook, Vikings
who also has been banged up..Cook is headed for a heavy workload, as free-agent power back Latavius Murray (ankle) has been on the mend. Cook has also proved he can handle being on the field for three downs with his receiving prowess, diminishing how much the team needs Jerick McKinnon,Cook has cruised to the top of Minnesota's depth chart, too. Target: RB2
RB,3. Joe Mixon, Bengals
but Cincinnati can't deny Mixon's explosive upside,Jeremy Hill is still ahead of Mixon on the depth chart, especially with Giovani Bernard still not totally recovered from last season's torn ACL.It's just a matter of time before the touches lean big time toward Mixon in every situation.Target: RB2
RB,4. Christian McCaffrey, Panthers
but there's nothing he can't do on the field. He'll probably have a cap on his touches,It's still difficult to know exactly what McCaffrey's role will be in relation to Jonathan Stewart, but he's likely to get them where they count -- in the passing game and more than you think in the red zone. Target: RB2
RB,5. Kareem Hunt, Chiefs
but Hunt already has unofficially displaced Charcandrick West in the pecking order. Kansas City will be wary of overloading Ware,Spencer Ware has responded well to the challenge of Hunt byhaving a strong camp, and that will put Hunt in the hunt for a chunk of work.Target: RB3
RB,6. Jamaal Williams, Packers
There are doubts about how much Green Bay wants to trust converted wide receiver Ty Montgomery as a lead back, and Williams has quickly risen to No. 2 right behind him. Williams offers some power and finish that the quicker Montgomery doesn't have. He's fighting for some key situational touches.Target: RB4
WR,7. Corey Davis, Titans
landing him here. The problem is Davis is dealing with a hamstring injury, with Eric Decker arriving and Rishard Matthews still there -- not to mention tight end Delanie Walker still plugging away as a Marcus Mariota favorite target. Davis looked the part of a No. 1 outside receiver early, and that's bound to be his starting role,There's suddenly a wideout crowd in Tennessee, slowing his momentum in camp. Just keep in mind that's proved problematic for rookies in the past. Target: WR4
RB,8. Samaje Perine, Redskins
Robert Kelley has become Less-Fat Rob and looked like more a complete back than just an early-down pounder in Year 2. Kelley still has a limited ceiling as the power option, as he's made Jay Gruden angrier than usual with his ball-security and pass-protection issues. Meanwhile,Perine has had a rough training camp and preseason so far, and Perine is built to successful in the scheme in time. That makes him a strong stash. Target: RB4
WR,9. Zay Jones, Bills
with Anquan Boldin and Jordan Matthews in, too. Target: WR4, Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods out. Watkins' trade re-pens the door on the outside for Jones, as both Boldin and Matthews do better work in the slot. He can do some damage with some big plays and short TDs, but production will tend to be more sporadic in what figures to still be a Bills low-volume passing game. Without Watkins,Buffalo has had a big shakup with veteran wideouts, Jones will draw consistent top coverage
RB,10. D'Onta Foreman,[url=http://www.ramsfootballauthentic.com/josh-reynolds-jersey-authentic]Womens Josh Reynolds Jersey[/url],[url=http://www.dolphinsfootballauthentic.com/dan-marino-jersey-authentic]Womens Dan Marino Jersey[/url], Texans
who showed in his preseason debut why he was such a productive runner in Austin. From Texas to the Texans,[url=http://www.dolphinsfootballauthentic.com/jay-ajayi-jersey-authentic]Authentic Jay Ajayi Jersey[/url], many consider Miller to be the last "RB1" on the board, but beware of the surging Foreman, but this is a later lottery-ticket upside pick. Target: RB5,Lamar Miller was overwhelmed a little in coming over from Miami and seeing monstrous volume for the first time in Houston. Because of that,[url=http://www.dolphinsfootballauthentic.com/jarvis-landry-jersey-authentic]Womens Jarvis Landry Jersey[/url], he's currently the No. 3 back behind Miller and Alfred Blue
DRAFT STRATEGY AND TIERS:
Quarterback
Running back
Wide receiver
Tight end
D/ST
RB,11. Marlon Mack, Colts
remains a mediocre producer. The Colts' coaches have loved Mack and his big-play ability for their rushing attack, and Robert Turbin, even with all the praise he's gotten as a reliable backup who scored eight times season, he needs to first get back healthy (shoulder) and a break. Target: RB5,Frank Gore can avoid the geriatric track for so long at 34, but to push for significant touches
RB,12. James Conner, Steelers
but he did nothing to show he should be the No. 2 over Conner,Fitzgerald Toussaint started the preseason opener with Conner (shoulder) sidelined and Le'Veon Bell still holding out, the Pittsburgh product turned inspirational fan favorite. Conner is a must-have handcuff for Bell given the latter's injury history. Target: RB5
RB,13. Joe Williams, 49ers
as Carlos Hyde has taken control of No. 1 and Tim Hightower is better suited to be Hyde's direct backup. Pump the breaks a little on Williams, Williams lit up in his preseason debut, but he's no higher than No. 3, he can't be ruled out for a key role at some point in '17. Target: RB6,Williams was hand-picked for Kyle Shanahan's offense with the some qualities that made Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman successful within it. After some camp struggles, but given Hyde's durability and Hightower's age on a young team
RB,14. Alvin Kamara, Saints
pass-heavy offense, but Adrian Peterson's role is a little a more ambigious on his new team, leaning toward a swing supplement to Ingram. Kamara is more defined as the pure pass-catching complement in the Travaris Cadet mode. [url=http://www.ramsfootballauthentic.com/samson-ebukam-jersey-authentic]Authentic Samson Ebukam Jersey[/url],He's worth a late flyer thanks to his role in a prolific,Mark Ingram easily looks like the leader in touches again for New Orleans' backfield, especially in PPR leagues. Target: RB6
WR,15. Kenny Golladay, Lions
as it's clear Golladay, Golladay's TD potential is worth a shot alone. Target: WR5/6, who's had a terrific offseason, has the size, hands and big-play ability to be a bigger factor in the passing game. Ideally,[url=http://www.dolphinsfootballauthentic.com/dan-marino-jersey-authentic]Authentic Dan Marino Jersey[/url],Golladay exploded with two touchdowns in his preseason debut. T.J Jones' position as Detroit's No. 3 is veteran based, Golladay will work outside opposite Marvin Jones so the Lions can slide Golden Tate into the slot in frequent three-wide sets for Matthew Stafford. Although he has competition for extra targets with Theo Riddick and Eric Ebron
WR,16. Cooper Kupp, Rams
meanwhile, but they are lesser versions of DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon for head coach Sean McVay. Kupp, [url=http://www.ramsfootballauthentic.com/josh-reynolds-jersey-authentic]Authentic Josh Reynolds Jersey[/url],a la Dak Prescott to Cole Beasley in Dallas. Target: WR5/6, can be a better version of Jamison Crowder in the slot because of his size,The Rams have Watkins and Woods as their new starters, route-running, and natural separation ability. Los Angeles plans to go three wide often, and Jared Goff may need to connect with Kupp most
QB,17. Deshaun Watson, Texans
he's a later bye-week fill for a top QB1. At best,[url=http://www.dolphinsfootballauthentic.com/jay-ajayi-jersey-authentic]Womens Jay Ajayi Jersey[/url], and his running is a boost to his initial fantasy upside. At worst,Watson rounds out of the most draftable rookies as the lone quarterback — even if he doesn't ascend to start over Tom Savage right away for Week 1. He has some of the Prescott rookie qualities for another Lone Star State playoff team,[url=http://www.dolphinsfootballauthentic.com/jarvis-landry-jersey-authentic]Authentic Jarvis Landry Jersey[/url], he becomes a strong streamer or platoon option by midseason. Target: QB2
