Dobbins is a future top-five fantasy running back

As I head into my fourth selection of my dynasty SuperFlex mock draft, I am excited about my roster. Although I become very disappointed to see one of my favorites, wide receiver Calvin Ridley gets sniped two picks from me. I can’t let that slow me down. Fantasy owners should always plan for the unexpected. Always have a list of two or three players that you are targeting for each pick.

In this instance, I am down to two players that I am considering. Another favorite and former Buckeye running back J.K. Dobbins and wide receiver D.K. Metcalf. Considering I still only have one WR, I almost pulled the trigger on Metcalf, but eventually, I decided to take Dobbins.

Dobbins was a monster for THE Ohio State Buckeyes. He did not miss a single game at Ohio State and exploded in 2019, setting a Buckeyes record with 2,003 rushing yards during his final season in 2019, breaking the previous mark of 1,927 held by Eddie George in 1995.

Dobbins is a dangerous weapon out of the backfield, catching over 20 balls in each of his three seasons in Columbus. He displays exceptional ability to produce yards after the catch and has the makings of an ideal three-down back in the NFL.

Dobbin’s fantasy analysis

Dobbins did not land in an ideal situation in redraft leagues. However, in dynasty formats, he has the look of a top-three fantasy running back annually.

He will likely start the 2020 season as the Baltimore Ravens’ number two back behind veteran starter Mark Ingram. Ingram is in the last year of his contract, so the Dobbins breakout will happen. An Ingram injury or trade will have to occur to discover the fantasy impact this season.

Currently, Dobbins is a high-upside handcuff. In 2021, fantasy stardom will transpire in a Baltimore Ravens offense that just set a record for team rushing yards in a season.

Round 5: Tyler Boyd

Boyd going for the three-peat in 2020

With many options at wide receivers available here, I debated four receivers with this pick and decided on Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd.

Boyd has posted two straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons, despite being the only healthy and productive receiver on the field. Boyd, who has led the Bengals in receiving in each of the past two seasons, should be able to find more production with the return of A.J. Green and the addition of Tee Higgins.

Boyd’s fantasy analysis

Fantasy owners might expect Green to return as the Bengals’ WR1 immediately, but he has been injury-prone the past few seasons and is a pending free agent.

Boyd, on the other hand, is ideal for rookie quarterback Joe Burrow. At LSU, Justin Jefferson exploded from the slot, leading the nation with 109 slot receptions and 1,518 receiving yards. Boyd played the majority of his snaps in the slot and should establish an elite connection with Burrow in Cincinnati.

I project Boyd to be a high WR2 with WR1 upside. I love pairing Boyd with Golladay so far at Wr. Both are young and productive, and still possess upside.

Round 6: Robert Woods

Despite scoring just two touchdowns a season ago, Rams WR Robert Woods had a very productive fantasy year.@SI_Fantasy analyst @mattkdelima believes once fantasy owners look past the TDs, they'll see a player set to increase in value for 2020: https://t.co/i0xQwOAJq5

Robert Woods is Mr. Consistency

With my sixth pick, I went with a wide receiver who is reliable and consistent. Sound boring? Admittedly yes, but Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods produces WR2-level production consistently, and I’m getting him as my third receiver. Getting value with upside is essential in building a perennial playoff contender.

Woods is coming off consecutive thousand-yard seasons and ranked in the top ten in receiving yards per game. Woods averaged 12.6 yards per reception and totaled 90 receptions on 139 targets, which led the team.

Woods is underrated but continually outperforms his draft position. He is currently ranked as the WR28 in the Dynasty Superflex Rankings, and I believe that’s overlooking Woods.

Wood’s fantasy analysis

Woods is Jared Goff’s favorite target and will open up the 2020 season along with Cooper Kupp as the Rams’ primary wide receivers.

Woods should see a higher share of the targets in 2020. Brandin Cooks was traded to the Houston Texans, leaving 100 targets available. The Rams will look to Josh Reynolds, who has never stepped up in his three seasons in the league. The addition of rookies Van Jefferson and Cam Akers will also be looked upon to pick up the slack.

The caveat with Woods is his lack of touchdown productivity. He scored three total touchdowns last season, and if the fantasy gods were smiling on Woods more often, he would be ranked and drafted as a WR1. We should expect positive regression on Woods scoring touchdowns.

Woods is being drafted at his floor because of his poor touchdown production. Adding a few touchdowns to his stat line catapults Woods into the WR1 territory and provides excellent value here in the sixth round.
