1/ Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals

 At the 2.03 in consensus draft cost, Chase Brown is unfortunately only getting more and more expensive. However, he's a phenomenal pick in the early 2nd round on a team that has one of the easiest schedules in the NFL. He finished as an RB1 the last 2 seasons (despite a rocky start with backup QBs in 2025) and has the runway to clearly own the backfield in 2026. As a pass-catching back and someone with explosive rushing upside, Brown is an easy 2nd round pick and one of my favorite selections this season.

2/ Breece Hall, New York Jets 

You're going to be hard-pressed to find an RB as talented as Breece Hall going in the back half of the 3rd round in fantasy drafts. Yes, I understand the Jets offense is going to struggle to score this year, but Breece finished as the RB4 in 2023 with only 5 rushing touchdowns. He's capable of doing it on efficiency alone, and I'm a believer that Geno Smith is going to give Hall an exuberant amount of short area targets in this offense. Count me in on Breece Hall at cost.

3/ Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans

 It may be one of the unsexiest picks in fantasy football, but Tony Pollard provides an incredibly safe floor as an RB3 with RB2 upside. Pollard has rushed for 1,000+ yards for 4 straight seasons and hasn't finished as an RB3 or worse since 2021. Yes, the Titans added Nicholas Singleton this year, but I don't expect him to be a legitimate threat to Pollard's workload and think a slightly improved Tennessee offense could lift Pollard's ceiling as well.
