|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tyler Allgeier | ATL | RB1 |
| 2 | Nyheim Hynes | IND | RB2 |
| 3 | Raheem Mostert | MIA | RB3 |
| 4 | Isaiah McKenzie | BUF | WR1 |
| 5 | Jakobi Meyers | NE | WR2 |
| 6 | Michael Gallup | DAL | WR3 |
| 7 | George Pickens | PIT | WR4 |
| 8 | Tyler Conklin | NYJ | TE1 |
| 9 | Brain Robinson Jr. | WAS | RB4 |
| 10 | Mike Boone | DEN | RB5 |
| 11 | Rachaad White | TB | RB6 |

| 22 | Latavius Murray | DEN | RB7 |
| 23 | Jameson Williams | DET | WR8 |
| 24 | Joshua Palmer | LAC | WR9 |
| 25 | Gus Edwards | BAL | RB8 |
| 26 | Alec Pierce | IND | WR10 |
| 27 | Rondale Moore | ARI | WR11 |
| 28 | Mo Alie-Cox | IND | TE5 |
| 29 | Caleb Huntley | ATL | RB9 |
| 30 | Phillip Lindsay | IND | RB10 |
Some players (that seem to be more available) that really stand out to me are Isaiah McKenzie, Jared Goff, George Pickens, Zay Jones, and Josh Reynolds. I'm seeing these guys available in a lot of leagues, so they are targets of mine. Hopefully some of these other players are available to you. Good luck!
