The more I’ve thought about how much Jefferson has rightly been steamed up the board given the offensive philosophy shift in Minnesota, the more I’ve realized Cook needs a similar bump. I’ve bumped Cook up to my RB4 over the last few weeks and therefore his overall slot in this mock needs to reflect that. 1.06 - Dalvin Cook, RB, Minnesota Vikings That gives us comfort when chasing that ceiling for another season. The current Chargers coaching staff didn’t put any weird sized-based limitations on his role in the scoring area. 1.05 - Austin Ekeler, RB, Los Angeles ChargersĮkeler has gone over 1,500 yards from scrimmage twice in the last three years and is coming off a career-best 20 total scores. A growing talent on a rocketship-upward trajectory, Jefferson has a similar outlook to Kupp this season, and he's already a special player. I would be zero-percent shocked if Jefferson takes another leap and becomes the WR1 overall this season. 1.04 - Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings Didn’t bump him down for some of the weird Matthew Stafford elbow headlines over the last month. Unlikely to repeat his Triple Crown performance from last year, Kupp is still in a position to dominate high-leverage targets for a great offense. You also know how this can easily go wrong - just revisit each of the last two seasons - but the reward is so well worth the risk when injuries are largely unpredictable. His usage will not change, and we know his combination of rushing work and high-equity receiving duties is truly rare in fantasy football. Since publishing the June 1 edition of this mock draft, I’ve had the second overall selection in multiple managed league drafts and I took McCaffrey over my top two wide receivers. 1.02 - Christian McCaffrey, RB, Carolina Panthers Injuries can hit anyone at this position but no player at the top of the running back board inspires this much comfort. The combination of Taylor’s age, dominant 2021 season and a potential upgrade at quarterback make him my clear first overall selection. 1.01 - Jonathan Taylor, RB, Indianapolis Colts
