There are 10 players currently flying up the fantasy football rankings right now.

0:03.7

Because either their role or situation has improved or maybe there's been some positive coach speak coming out about them during OTAs and minicam.

0:10.7

So let's break down who these players are, but more importantly, what you need to do about it for your fantasy football drafts.

0:16.1

And let's start with the first and maybe most obvious player who's rising up the rankings, and that's J.K. Dobbins because he finally signed with a team somewhat recently, and it couldn't have been probably a

0:24.5

better fit, because he lands with the Denver Broncos who had a pretty thin depth chart behind

0:28.3

their rookie RJ Harvey. Dobbins will be attached to Sean Payton, a top five offensive line,

0:32.7

and he steps into a backfield with over 300 touches up for grabs. And on this channel, you already know we love

0:37.6

RJ Harvey, and right now, though, he is slipping into the fifth rounds of drafts. And we said

0:41.4

earlier during the draft season that there's probably a pretty good chance that RJ Harvey

0:45.0

becomes a fourth or a fifth round pick if no serious competition is added. The fact that J.K. Dobbins

0:49.5

gets added, hopefully will keep RJ Harvey as a fifth, maybe even bump him back down into the sixth or seventh

0:54.9

rounds of drafts, but you can't really say that Harvey was going to see all 300 plus of those touches.

0:59.5

He's not really built to be doing that.

1:01.1

And when you see the other competition here of Audrey Gestimae and Jaliel McLaughlin,

1:04.4

it makes sense that Denver wanted to go out and get a veteran back in J.K. Dobbins.

1:08.0

I think these are going to be the two guys to split the backfield. I still do believe that R.J. Harvey is the more explosive. He is the younger back. I think he's the

1:15.0

more versatile back. I think if you look at last year what J.K. Dobbins was doing. I think

1:18.9

Harvey has a good chance to be more efficient as well. But that doesn't mean J.K. Dobbins plus touches per game and upside if the rookie Harvey, who again is a rookie, does not actually pan

1:27.7

out in the NFL. Last year, Dobbins was top 20 and fantasy points per game very quietly.

1:31.7

After a hot start to the season, he ended up getting banged up later on in the season,

1:35.2

and he kind of sputtered out a little bit. But that was behind a worse offensive line,

1:39.4

a worse efficient overall unit in terms of run blocking, and he wasn't as far removed from his Achilles
