Elephant in the room, yes I’m coming out of this fantasy football mock draft a little worried about running back. I’m fully confident in Ezekiel Elliott as my first-round pick but Javonte Williams as my second-best option is a little disconcerting.

With that being said, the strategy after I went wide receiver in Rounds 2-4 — other than having three wide receivers with top-15 upside at minimum — was taking quality dart throws at running back whenever possible. Javonte Williams, Moss, Jamaal Williams and Stevenson all offer that for me as their roles could be bigger either as the season goes on or in a given week.

All told, this lineup has some volatility but, in a PPR league, having three target-happy wide receivers who are going to be in prolific offenses is going to be nice. Throw in the safe floors of Dak and Zeke and this team has league-winning potential.
