INSIGHT

De'Von Achane's RB1 Upside & Risk

  • De'Von Achane has RB1 potential if Tua plays the entire season but carries injury risk due to Tua's history.
  • His usage profile resembles early-career Alvin Kamara with strong receiving and touchdown upside.
ADVICE

Draft Kyren Williams at Turn

  • Draft Kyren Williams if you're picking at the two-three turn despite the risk of losing his job.
  • His volume and touchdown production make him a worthwhile pick given current ADP.
ADVICE

Avoid Breece Hall in Third Round

  • Pass on Breece Hall at his current third-round price due to committee risk and uncertain pass-catching usage.
  • Consider targeting him in the early fourth round if you miss him earlier.
