2020 NFL Draft: 10 Prospects destined to be fantasy football studs
10. AJ Dillon, RB, Boston College
As most of us know by now, running backs reign supreme when it comes to fantasy football. They’re often off the board first, and can be the difference between a championship season and being relentlessly hounded by your family/friends/coworkers until next year.

With that in mind, there will be plenty of incoming rookie running backs on this list. We start it off with AJ Dillon, an uber-productive runner out of Boston College.
Across his three seasons with the Eagles, Dillon racked up 4,618 yards from scrimmage and 40 total touchdowns. He’s the complete package, with an impressive mixture of size, speed and vision. While he wasn’t a big threat as a receiver in college, he’s got enough skill in that department to up his production at the next level.
Dillon is the type of running back capable of crashing onto the scene and giving NFL defenses headaches. He’s a workhorse who can carry the load of an entire ground game, and figures to get plenty of touches if he lands in the right situation. The potential is certainly there with Dillon, who figures to hear his name called on Day 2.
