Joseph Randle, whose ADP has climbed substantially over the summer, was selected at 4.01. If you're willing to accept the risk, the potential upside could be a home run if he can capitalize behind the Cowboys' highly touted offensive line.
numberFire's top-ranked quarterback -- Aaron Rodgers -- was taken in the fourth round but will likely go earlier in most leagues. Our scoring system was set up at four-points per passing touchdown, but even if your league goes with six-points per passing touchdown, your quarterback drafting strategy shouldn't change, and you should still take Rodgers where you think he's the best value.
Jimmy Graham was picked up by Ryan Ward 41st overall. Graham's fantasy value has taken a big hit since going to Seattle. While his targets are expected to decline, Graham should still see a good number of red zone looks, as Seattle had 3.7 red zone attempts per game (seventh-most).
Keith Black took Rashad Jennings as the RB21, right where our projections have him ranked. Despite the addition of Shane Vereen, Jennings looks like the play in New York and can be a valuable fantasy running back if he remains healthy.
