• Mid-round running backs often are traps in fantasy football, but a handful present outstanding value this season and have the key attribute of receiving upside.
• Especially important is leveraging the differences between where players are going in sharper best-ball leagues versus their stagnant ADPs in the rankings at major fantasy football platforms.

RB A.J. DILLON, GREEN BAY PACKERS
Dillon’s ADP has been steadily rising in the sharper FFPC best-ball leagues over the summer, but he’s still going a few rounds after teammate Aaron Jones.
Dillon is a bet on talent and the strongest handcuff in fantasy football. The Boston College product is guaranteed a strong workload if Jones is injured, and he could get there even without an injury. Dillon was RB23 in half-PPR formats in 2021 after flashing his ability to take on a passing game workload.
There’s a better-than-expected chance that the Packers turn over the majority of the rushing attempts to Dillon, and then, he can still gather 50-plus targets. Dillon has all the talent in the world, posting the second-highest rushing grade the past two years and 1.6 yards per route run.
