He has the statistical floor of a high-end fantasy TE2, yet he could also perform at a Top 10 level. Fant is being drafted as TE16, which is a very fair ADP for him. Metcalf should still be drafted in the Top 20 at WR, while Lockett is a potential value as the 38th WR off the board in early drafts. We may have not seen his best season yet. Both QBs will benefit from having DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett as their top wideouts, and tight end Noah Fant, who came over from Denver with Lock, is a possible future star. Smith is obviously very familiar with the playbook, and Lock has promise as a deep passer with some mobility. Fantasy players will keep a close watch on the situation to see how it impacts the most significant pass-catchers on the team. The New Offensive Outlook For The Seahawks: Geno Smith and Drew Lock are positioned to compete for the starting quarterback job this season. Any three of those aforementioned WRs could finish as the top fantasy scorer at the position this year and they all should be among the elite performers at WR again. The best ones are safer selections to provide an excellent fantasy return for the high draft position used to land them.

It is no longer considered a questionable move to take a WR with your first fantasy draft choice. Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase, two of the biggest young upside fantasy targets, have ADPs of sixth and ninth overall, respectively. After coming off a historic season, Cooper Kupp has an Average Draft Position of fourth overall. That's a nearly even split of the two positions. According to, seven running backs are being taken in the first 12 picks, and five wide receivers are going off the board. WRs Have A Larger Footprint In Round One: Running backs continue to be the most sought-after players in fantasy football, but now wide receivers have a larger presence in the first round of early drafts, and it should remain that way through the summer.
