My only focus on NFL fantasy anymore is my Dynasty IDP league. Tons of work involved with that, but it's very fun. It's basically fantasy all-year round. So I don't really follow re-draft rankings as closely anymore. But of course, I'm still in tune with it all.
My #1 overall would be David Johnson, no doubt. That's for PPR or standard. Seems to have less question marks than Bell. Also, for Keeper, you have to factor in Bell being in a contract year. Will he be with the Steelers next year? And if not, will his new team use him the same as the Steelers? To me, Johnson feels safer. Bell would be my #2 overall, though.
I wouldn't even have Zeke in the top-5 RBs, and he'd probably be a 2nd round pick for me. Second year RBs historically do not fare well in the NFL. I wrote an article on that on this website a few years back. The most recent example is Todd Gurley from last year. I think defensive coaches get film on these guys and pick up on their tendencies and kinds of blocking schemes these guys like. Also, Dallas has lost some pieces on the O-line. I expect a regression for Elliot this year. I like Ajayi more than him.
After the first 2 RBs come off the board, I would draft a bunch of safer, WRs in round 1 until the top 7 or 8 dry up. If I picked towards the end of round 1, I'd take Ajayi in Rd 1 and come back with a TE in rd 2 (Gronk or Kelce). You can actually make an argument for Kelce over Gronk given injury concerns. Kelce is in line for a HUGE year, and whether or not KC makes a QB change will not have a difference in his usage.
This year, I really don't think there's a big difference between the #10-#35 WRs. Good example is Willie Snead. He's a top-20 WR for me, but he's being drafted in the 30s among WRs. Another guy is Garcon. I think he's a rock solid WR2, but being drafted as a WR4. Pretty crazy. Crowder could catch 100 passes this year, but I saw one website where he is the #30 ranked WR.
