п»їNFL DFS for 2021 Super Bowl: Best DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy football picks, stacks, strategy.
TAMPA, FLORIDA - OCTOBER 04: Justin Herbert #10 of the Los Angeles Chargers looks to pass during the third quarter of a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium on October 04, 2020 in Tampa, Florida.
The 2021 Super Bowl will feature two of the most exciting offenses in the league. That star-power means plenty of options for your NFL DFS picks on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings. Not every decision is simple, however. For example, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Le'Veon Bell, and Darrel Williams could all receive touches in the Chiefs' backfield, while Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournette could share time in the Buccaneers' backfield. Who should you target as part of your 2021 Super Bowl DFS strategy?
Stars like Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Tyreek Hill, Mike Evans, Travis Kelce and Chris Godwin are among the most expensive options in the NFL DFS player pool for Super Bowl LV, but who can you trust? Before making any NFL DFS picks and NFL DFS stacks for the 2021 Super Bowl, be sure to see the latest NFL DFS advice, player rankings, stacks and top daily Fantasy football picks from SportsLine's Mike McClure, a DFS pro who has won almost $2 million.
McClure crushed his NFL DFS picks in 2019, finishing as high as the top 1 percent of tournaments on DraftKings and returning as much as 40x return in some higher-stakes tournaments. He then continued his roll in the postseason, cashing on every single lineup he posted for the divisional round. Anyone who followed him saw some huge returns.
In Championship Weekend, McClure had Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill as one of his top NFL DFS picks on DraftKings. The result: Hill caught nine passes for 172 yards, returning over 26 Fantasy points on both sites! Anybody who had him in their lineups was well on the way to a profitable day.
Now, McClure has turned his attention to Super Bowl 55 and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Super Bowl 55.
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Super Bowl 55 is Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 25-year-old has gone head-to-head with Tom Brady-led teams four times already in his career.
Mahomes has thrown for 1,276 yards and nine touchdowns in his four previous starts against Brady, highlighted by a 462-yard performance in which he threw three touchdowns and no interceptions in Raymond James Stadium in Week 12.
Mahomes went for 325 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the Bills in the AFC Championship Game and produced 315 yards of total offense and three total touchdowns in Super Bowl 54. All trends point to him putting up big numbers at Super Bowl LV.
Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin. He went off on Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game, catching five passes for 110 yards. He has 14 receptions for 223 yards and a touchdown in the 2021 NFL Playoffs to help send Tampa Bay back to the Super Bowl.
The fourth-year pro from Penn State caught 65 passes for 840 yards and seven touchdowns during the regular season despite missing four games due to a concussion and broken finger. Although that was a step down from Godwin's 86-catch, 1,333-yard effort from 2019, he still proved to be one of quarterback Tom Brady's primary targets. McClure believes that trend will continue in Super Bowl LV.
How to set NFL DFS lineups for Super Bowl 55.
McClure is also targeting a player who could go off for massive numbers on Super Bowl Sunday because of a dream matchup. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing. You can only see who it is here.
NFL DFS for 2021 Super Bowl: Top DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy football picks, stacks, strategy.
SportsLine's Mike McClure, a DFS pro with almost $2M in winnings, gives optimal lineup advice.
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes have been among the most popular NFL DFS picks all season, leading their respective teams through the playoffs to face each other in the 2021 Super Bowl. Should you invest in the 43-year-old Brady, who is trying to win a record seventh Super Bowl ring, or should you build your NFL DFS stacks around Mahomes, the defending Super Bowl MVP?
Choosing between Brady and Mahomes is just one of many parts of your NFL DFS strategy to address on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel. So, how should you formulate winning Super Bowl DFS lineups? Before making any NFL DFS picks and NFL DFS stacks for the 2021 Super Bowl, be sure to see the latest NFL DFS advice, player rankings, stacks and top daily Fantasy football picks from SportsLine's Mike McClure, a DFS pro who has won almost $2 million.

Top NFL DFS picks for Super Bowl 55.
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Super Bowl 55 is Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. He is quickly becoming one of the most dominant tight ends of all time, becoming a unanimous All-Pro selection. He set career-highs with 105 receptions, 1,416 receiving yards, and 11 touchdowns this season despite sitting out Week 17 to rest up for the playoff run.
Kelce's exceptional play has continued into the Chiefs' run back to the Super Bowl. He hauled in eight passes for 109 yards and a touchdown against the Browns and then erupted for 13 catches for 118 yards and two more TDs against the Bills in the AFC Championship Game. Kelce's play against Buffalo generated almost 40 points on DraftKings and signaled that he will be a 60-minute problem for Tampa Bay in Super Bowl LV.
Part of McClure's optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin. He went off on Green Bay in the NFC Championship Game, catching five passes for 110 yards. He has 14 receptions for 223 yards and a touchdown in the 2021 NFL Playoffs to help send Tampa Bay back to the Super Bowl.

2021 Fantasy Football Way-Too-Early Mock Draft: Shocking First-Round Pick Might Make Perfect Sense.
The 2020 fantasy football season was a wild ride of injuries, pandemic-related player absences, schedule changes and so much more. How wild was it? The Broncos had to start a practice squad wide receiver at quarterback when their top signal-callers were deemed unavailable due to COVID-19.
Luckily, the NFL and fantasy footballers alike could navigate a full season, and fantasy leaguers crowned a champion. While the NFL has three more games to crown a champion of its own, it's never a bad time to start to look ahead to the 2021 NFL campaign. Assuming we’re back to (somewhat) normal, what can we all expect from fantasy football drafts? Well, the Sports Illustrated fantasy team got together for a mock draft that might reveal some insights.
This mock draft is 10 rounds and based on a 12-team, full PPR format. Each of our fantasy managers was required to draft at least one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a flex starter (RB/WR/TE), and a tight end. Incoming rookies were eligible, though their value remains in question until they're drafted.
So without further ado, here’s our initial look at the 2021 fantasy campaign!
Note: * denotes a player entering a contract year and slated to be a free agent.
ROUND 1.
1.1. Michael Fabiano: Christian McCaffrey, RB, Panthers 1.2. Frankie Taddeo: Dalvin Cook, RB, Vikings 1.3. Corey Parson: Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints 1.4. Steve Renner: Derrick Henry, RB, Titans 1.5. Matthew De Lima: Saquon Barkley, RB, Giants 1.6. Casey Olson: Aaron Jones, RB, Packers* 1.7. Shawn Childs: Davante Adams, WR, Packers 1.8. Scott Atkins: Jonathan Taylor, RB, Colts 1.9. Ian Ritchie: Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings 1.10. Ben Heisler: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Cowboys 1.11. Bill Enright: Tyreek Hill, WR, Chiefs 1.12. Roy Larking: Stefon Diggs, WR, Bills.
Notes: Six running backs came off the board to kick it off, with McCaffrey leading the way. While he missed most of the season due to injuries, CMC averaged more than 30 fantasy points in his three games. To the surprise of no one, Adams was the first wideout selected, but Jefferson's being picked as the second receiver opened eyes. The question, though, is should it be a surprise? From Week 3 on, Jefferson was the fourth-highest scoring wide receiver in fantasy football. Elliott dropped down to No. 10, where he could be a steal. Remember, he averaged more than 22 fantasy points a game before Dak Prescott was lost for the year.
ROUND 2.
2.13. Roy Larking: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Cardinals 2.14. Bill Enright: Nick Chubb, RB, Browns 2.15. Ben Heisler: Travis Kelce, TE, Chiefs 2.16. Ian Ritchie: Calvin Ridley, WR, Falcons 2.17. Scott Atkins: David Montgomery, RB, Bears 2.18. Shawn Childs: Michael Thomas, WR, Saints 2.19. Casey Olson: DK Metcalf, WR, Seahawks 2.20. Matthew De Lima: Josh Jacobs, RB, Raiders 2.21. Steve Renner: Miles Sanders, RB, Eagles 2.22. Corey Parson: James Robinson, RB, Jaguars 2.23. Frankie Taddeo: J.K. Dobbins, RB, Ravens 2.24. Michael Fabiano: Austin Ekeler, RB, Chargers.
Notes: There were no big surprises in this round, although Kelce's NOT being a first-round selection might come as somewhat of a shock. I didn't expect Thomas to go ahead of Metcalf considering the Saints' questions at quarterback, and the fact that Montgomery went as high as he did was notable. I'm not saying he wasn't a true league winner this past season, but I do wonder whether he'll be able to duplicate his high level of production when the schedule is tougher and with Tarik Cohen back. The fact that Robinson, Dobbins and Ekeler lasted until the end of the round proves the depth at running back will be much better in 2021.
ROUND 3.
3.25. Michael Fabiano: Allen Robinson, WR, Bears* 3.26. Frankie Taddeo: Keenan Allen, WR, Chargers 3.27. Corey Parson: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Chiefs 3.28. Steve Renner: Terry McLaurin, WR, Football Team 3.29. Matthew De Lima: Antonio Gibson, RB, Football Team 3.30. Casey Olson: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Chiefs 3.31. Shawn Childs: A.J. Brown, WR, Titans 3.32. Scott Atkins: D’Andre Swift, RB, Lions 3.33. Ian Ritchie: Joe Mixon, RB, Bengals 3.34. Ben Heisler: Cam Akers, RB, Rams 3.35. Bill Enright: Darren Waller, TE, Raiders 3.36. Roy Larking: Chris Carson, RB, Seahawks*
Notes: This round had a few potential bargains at running back, with Edwards-Helaire, Gibson, Swift, Mixon and Akers coming off the board. Akers's stock certainly rose due to his late-season rookie success, and I can see him being picked higher in future drafts. Mahomes was the first quarterback off the board, and Waller went as the No. 2 tight end behind Kelce and ahead of George Kittle. The slide that Kittle saw in this draft was surprising. Stay tuned for that.
ROUND 4.
4.37. Roy Larking: Myles Gaskin, RB, Dolphins 4.38. Bill Enright: Ronald Jones, RB, Buccaneers 4.39. Ben Heisler: Mike Evans, WR, Buccaneers 4.40. Ian Ritchie: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys 4.41. Scott Atkins: Josh Allen, QB, Bills 4.42. Shawn Childs: Kareem Hunt, RB, Browns 4.43. Casey Olson: Kenyan Drake, RB, Cardinals 4.44. Matthew De Lima: Adam Thielen, WR, Vikings 4.45. Steve Renner: Diontae Johnson, WR, Steelers 4.46. Corey Parson: Will Fuller, WR, Texans* 4.47. Frankie Taddeo: Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks 4.48. Michael Fabiano: Amari Cooper, WR, Cowboys.
Notes: Seven of the 12 picks in this round were wide receivers, with Lamb being the most notable as he went ahead of his teammate, Cooper. Lamb was the WR11 and averaged more than 17 fantasy points in games played with Dak Prescott under center, so it's certainly not a reach. The fact that wideouts like Thielen, Johnson, Fuller, Lockett and Cooper were available in the fourth round isn't a shock but more a look into how deep this position will be in 2021 drafts. Allen, this past season's No. 1 quarterback, was the second signal-caller selected.
ROUND 5.
5.49. Michael Fabiano: James Conner, RB, Steelers* 5.50. Frankie Taddeo: Tee Higgins, WR, Bengals 5.51. Corey Parson: Julio Jones, WR, Falcons 5.52. Steve Renner: Chris Godwin, WR, Buccaneers* 5.53. Matthew De Lima: Kyler Murray, QB, Cardinals 5.54. Casey Olson: Robert Woods, WR, Rams 5.55. Shawn Childs: JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Steelers* 5.56. Scott Atkins: Cooper Kupp, WR, Rams 5.57. Ian Ritchie: Brandon Aiyuk, WR, 49ers 5.58. Ben Heisler: Kenny Golladay, WR, Lions* 5.59. Bill Enright: Tyler Boyd, WR, Bengals 5.60. Roy Larking: Lamar Jackson, QB, Ravens.
Notes: This was another heavy round for wideouts, and the names still on the board at this point should be noted. Jones, Woods, Smith-Schuster, Kupp and Golladay were all drafted much higher in 2019, but injuries or inconsistent totals have hurt their appeal. All could be steals in the draft, but all come with risk. Aiyuk going this high could be seen as a surprise, especially since he went ahead of Golladay, Tyler Boyd and other "big-name" players. He did average 18.4 fantasy points in Weeks 7 to 17, ranking fourth among wideouts in that category. Jackson, who was the top quarterback in many 2019 drafts, went third at the position.
ROUND 6.
6.61. Roy Larking: Robert Tonyan, TE, Packers* 6.62. Bill Enright: Odell Beckham Jr., WR, Browns 6.63. Ben Heisler: Melvin Gordon, RB, Broncos 6.64. Ian Ritchie: Justin Herbert, QB, Chargers 6.65. Scott Atkins: Marquise Brown, WR, Ravens 6.66. Shawn Childs: George Kittle, TE, 49ers 6.67. Casey Olson: Robby Anderson, WR, Panthers 6.68. Matthew De Lima: D.J. Moore, WR, Panthers 6.69. Steve Renner: Deshaun Watson, QB, Texans 6.70. Corey Parson: Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks 6.71. Frankie Taddeo: Aaron Rodgers, QB, Packers 6.72. Michael Fabiano: Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos.
Notes: The shocker in this round is that Kittle fell this far down the line and was chosen behind Tonyan. Honestly, I have to chalk this up to either a mistake in the rankings or simply not realizing he was still on the board at the time. Regardless, Kittle is not going to fall this far in most drafts. Herbert, the rookie phenom, went as the fifth quarterback, ahead of Watson, Wilson and Rodgers, who were all selected later in the round. Former superstar Beckham was drafted as a No. 3 wideout for Heisler, and that’s what he is (at best) heading into 2021.
ROUND 7.
7.73. Michael Fabiano: Dak Prescott, QB, Cowboys* 7.74. Frankie Taddeo: Chase Claypool, WR, Steelers 7.75. Corey Parson: Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers 7.76. Steve Renner: Ja’Marr Chase, WR, LSU 7.77. Matthew De Lima: Devonta Smith, WR, Alabama 7.78. Casey Olson: Marvin Jones, Jr., WR, Lions* 7.79. Shawn Childs: Travis Etienne, RB, Clemson 7.80. Scott Atkins: Mark Andrews, TE, Ravens 7.81. Ian Ritchie: Najee Harris, RB, Alabama 7.82. Ben Heisler: Laviska Shenault, WR, Jaguars 7.83. Bill Enright: Raheem Mostert, RB, 49ers 7.84. Roy Larking: Brandin Cooks, WR, Texans.
Notes: This is the part of the draft when the rookies started to come flying off the board, led by Chase and Smith. Etienne and Harris followed quickly thereafter, and I'd guess both would be drafted much higher depending on where they might land in the actual NFL draft. For example, Etienne or Harris landing in Atlanta would push them into a potential top-30 selection. Prescott's falling to Round 7 could be a steal, depending on his rehab from a gruesome leg injury, and Claypool could be a great bargain too, if Smith-Schuster leaves the Steelers.
Who is Pick 1.01 in Dynasty Rookie Drafts? (2021 Fantasy Football)
Former LSU wideout Ja’Marr Chase has a compelling case to be taken as the 1.01 in upcoming dynasty rookie drafts.
The 2020 NFL season officially wraps up this weekend with the Chiefs and Buccaneers set to square off in this year’s Super Bowl. That means it’s time for fantasy football managers to begin looking ahead to the NFL Draft, and more specifically, who we might be targeting in upcoming dynasty league rookie drafts.
Of course, landing spot is a crucial part of this equation, yet it’s never too early to start thinking things through. We asked our writers who they would take with the No. 1 pick as of right now.
Q: Who should be Pick 1.01 in Dynasty Rookie Drafts?
It’s hard not to like Harris as the 1.01 in non-superflex leagues this year. Harris appears to be the next up-and-coming star running back out of Alabama, and he looks poised to have success in the NFL. His blend of power, speed, and elusiveness at his size is what makes him stand out from other running backs. However, it’s his improved receiving ability that separates him from the rest of the pack. After totaling a mere 10 receptions for 52 yards in his first two collegiate seasons, Harris proved his receiving acumen in his final two seasons as he hauled in a combined 70 catches for 729 yards and 11 touchdowns. If Harris lands in the right situation, his floor will be an RB2 as a rookie, with a chance to become an RB1 for years to come. – Skyler Carlin (@skyler_carlin)
Running backs are still king in fantasy football. Rarely could I put a top wide receiver over a top running back, and this year is no different. Harris is huge at 6-foot-2 and 230-pounds, but his lateral movement for a man his size is nothing short of extraordinary. Yet he is more than just a big bruising back as he can also catch. He is coming off his senior season that saw him haul in 43 receptions for 425 yards and four TDs. He is a true every-down running back and will quickly become a fantasy asset for anyone who drafts him. – Geoff Lambert (@geofflambert77)
Ja’Marr Chase (WR – LSU) As a disclaimer, I believe Najee Harris will have the strongest rookie season from a positional variance standpoint. For dynasty purposes, however, the long-term investment of an elite wide receiver gets my pick at the 1.01. Let me ask the reader a simple question: did you like what Justin Jefferson did in 2020? Rhetorical question aside, Chase was the 1A to Jefferson’s 1B during LSU’s magical 2019 season. He had 84 receptions for 1,780 yards and 20 touchdowns in his elite sophomore season. Jefferson had 111 receptions for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns. We can’t simply say “Chase was better than Jefferson in college, so he’ll be a better NFL player”. However, Chase does show elite qualities. His bread and butter is his physicality. Chase is a 6-foot-0, 208-pound physical alpha receiver. That is more typical of a running back build, but Chase is that size as an X receiver. Put him one-on-one on an island, and most corners are going to lose that matchup. He is an excellent route runner with fluid cuts in in out of his breaks, while also showing enough athleticism to separate from more athletic corners. Despite opting out in 2020, Chase will be ready to out-muscle the opposition. He will have an A.J. Brown-like affect on the NFL, and we should see a dominant rookie season from the emerging superstar that is Ja’Marr Chase. – Justin Johnson (@JJ_JetFlyin)
While it was amazing to see DeVonta Smith with the Heisman this year, fantasy players shouldn’t forget about Chase’s historic 2019 campaign (before opting out of 2020). The 1A to Justin Jefferson’s 1B, Chase totaled 1,780 yards and 20 scores in just 14 games en route to a National Championship. He might’ve been the first wideout taken in last year’s historic receiver class, but he wasn’t yet draft eligible. The LSU product has been described as someone who runs “angry”, a savvy route runner with plenty burst to shed would-be tacklers after the catch. Add in Chase’s ability to dominate at the catch0point, and his profile looks like a receiver who was put together in a lab. While there are questions over Smith’s size, Chase’s physical traits aren’t in question. Najee Harris is the only rookie I’d consider over Chase right now. – Brendan Tuma (@toomuchtuma)
DeVonta Smith (WR – Alabama) Smith had an incredible 2020 season, finishing the year with 117 receptions, 1,856 receiving yards, and 23 touchdowns. While we will not have the NFL Combine this year and will need to wait to see what Smith will run at his Pro Day, my guess from reports that I have read is that he’ll clock somewhere in the 4.4 range, which would be fine for his 6′ 1″ and 175-pound frame. My only concern is landing spot. Rookie receivers need a quarterback to throw them the ball and if he goes to a team with a dreadful quarterback situation, that could change my mind after the NFL Draft. I think Smith is a special talent at a school that has produced some great wide receivers over the years. Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, and Calvin Ridley are established NFL players that came from Alabama. Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III are also from Alabama, but it is too early to call them established NFL receivers just yet. Still, Smith should be an instant success in the league, provided he is with a good quarterback. If that box is checked, he will be the first rookie I select in upcoming drafts. – Derek Lofland (@DerekLofland)

Who Is the #1 Pick in 2021 Fantasy Football?
The 2020 fantasy football season may be over, but it’s never too early to look ahead. The draft season for 2021 will be here before you know it, and one of the biggest questions will be who should be the number one pick?
Here are my top-five choices (in order) and why they should or should not be the number one overall pick.
So without further ado, let’s get right into it.

5. Davante Adams (WR, GB)
Adams was unquestionably the best wide receiver in football, both real life and fantasy. If not for missing two games, he realistically could have been the number one overall scorer. Adams finished with 109 receptions (third), 1,328 yards (fourth), and 17 touchdowns (first). Had he not missed two games, he likely would have finished first in each category. In terms of fantasy football (PPR scoring), he finished number two overall and was only 36 points away from number one overall, Alvin Kamara.
Adams has a legitimate case for the number one overall pick, but outside of leagues that strongly favor wide receivers, it is hard to put him ahead of the top-four running backs. Still, he should absolutely be the first wide receiver off the board in 2021 fantasy football drafts.
4. Saquon Barkley (RB, NYG)
Remember him? It’s easy to forget just how good Barkley has been in his young career. In Barkley’s first two seasons in the league, he amassed 3,469 total scrimmage yards and 23 total touchdowns. Prior to 2020, he had yet to finish outside the top-12 running backs in PPR formats and had averaged 21.3 points per game. And let’s not forget he has been a consensus top-two pick each of the last two years.
Yes, there are concerns. He’s coming off of an ACL surgery and the Giants' offense regressed in 2020 (of course that could have been in part to losing Barkley). Still, he can’t be dropped out of the top-five and his upside is a top-three overall running back.
3. Alvin Kamara (RB, NO)
Alvin Kamara literally won people their fantasy championship in 2020. He was the number one non-quarterback scorer, and only Kyler Murray, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes scored more points than him. He played every game, and oh, he literally won people's fantasy titles with his incredible six-touchdown performance in Week 16. So why isn’t he number one? Simply put, we don’t know who will be the Saints quarterback in 2021.
Despite him setting career highs in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns in Week 16, Kamara’s value comes from his work in the passing game. We saw what happened when Taysom Hill replaced Drew Brees; Kamara was solid, but he certainly wasn’t worthy of the number one overall pick in those games. If we knew for sure Drew Brees would be back, then I’d feel better about slotting him at the top, but as it stands now, I’d rather have each of the next two players.
2. Dalvin Cook (RB, MIN)
When drafting a top fantasy football pick, you really want two things: to avoid a season-ending injury and to avoid a bust. While Cook has had injury concerns in the past (which running back outside of Kamara hasn’t?), you know exactly what you are getting with him every week. The Vikings under head coach Mike Zimmer are a run-first team, as they ran the ball at the sixth-highest rate in 2020 and the fourth highest in 2019.
Cook had 312 carries in 2020 (second), 1,557 rushing yards (second), and 16 rushing touchdowns (first). He also chipped in 44 receptions and another 361 receiving yards. He did all that in just 15 games. That kind of usage gives him one of the safest floors and highest ceilings in all of fantasy. He would easily be my overall number one if not for…
1. Christian McCaffrey (RB, CAR)
Don’t let his injury-plagued 2020 scare you off of him. In the three healthy games McCaffrey played this year, he handled over 90% of the running back touches for Carolina. He is a true workhorse back in the NFL. In PPR formats, he scored 28.5, 24.8, and 37.1 points in those three games, averaging over 30 points per game. He averaged just under 20 carries per game and over six receptions per game. Not to mention he scored six touchdowns.
He has the highest floor and the highest ceiling in all of fantasy football. Prior to 2020, he had also been one of the most durable players, having never missed a game in his three-year career. Don’t let one season of bad injury luck prevent you from drafting unquestionably the best player in fantasy football. McCaffrey should be the number one pick in every draft next year.
So there you have it, my top-five and number one overall picks for 2021 fantasy football drafts. Do you agree or disagree? Let me know in the comments.
