Dead Zone RBs Deliver Value
- The running back dead zone (rounds 4-6) previously was a trap with poor hit rates, but recent years showed strong production there.
- Players like Kenneth Walker and Brees Hall demonstrate league-winning upside late in drafts in this zone.
Target Kenneth Walker Early
- Draft Kenneth Walker aggressively in round four or earlier due to his proven efficiency and expected volume upgrade.
- Seattle's improved offensive line and scheme changes should boost his production significantly.
Believe In Brees Hall Touches
- Trust Brees Hall as a bell cow with 200+ carries and 75+ targets despite offensive uncertainties.
- New Jets offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand may unlock Hall's full creative potential for fantasy success.
