JZ Mazlish grabbed Lamar Miller who I expect to meet and exceed his current ADP. Miller had 12 weeks of top-24 production providing a safe, consistent floor as someone you can trust this season.
Dan Pizzuta took Alfred Morris, who has the 13th most rushing yards in NFL history during a player's first three seasons after ripping off three consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns. We project Morris to finish as the 12th-best running back and secure another 1,000-yard season.
One of my favorite debates this offseason was one debating between drafting Jordan Matthews and Brandin Cooks. Sam Hauss leaned towards Brandin Cooks as the potential for both volume and high-quality targets -- two important factors for fantasy receivers -- should be numerous in a vacated New Orleans passing attack that's still orchestrated by Drew Brees.
Jim Sannes got a nice deal on Jonathan Stewart, who finally gets the opportunity to show if he can be a top running back in fantasy football this year.
The first quarterback was taken off the board at 3.12 as the winner of the Andrew Luck or Aaron Rodgers debate was settled. Featured in a heavy passing attack with upgraded weapons, Andrew Luck could have an even better year in 2015 if he can improve his efficiency numbers.
