I'm a little lower on him than consensus, but my opinion won't matter if Detroit is going to force the ball on him in the receiving game. That could become an issue, in addition to some worries about how often he is going to be used in early-down rushing situations, with his relative lack of experience while running the ball in gap or power schemes. On the negative side, Gibbs ranked 91st out of 107 draft-eligible running backs in pass-blocking grade and 42nd if we cut the sample size down to 50. Jahmyr Gibbs led all running backs over the last three seasons with 25 receptions of 15-plus yards and forced 39 missed tackles on receptions. We can turn our noses in the air all we want about the Lions spending the 12th-overall pick on a running back when they already had David Montgomery and (since-traded) D'Andre Swift on the roster, but there's no question that Gibbs has playmaking ability, and now, high real-life draft capital. If he performs anywhere near those levels, he will instantly be worth more than just a single top-three pick, making him a pick that could immediately return value, even if you need to trade him away before your team is able to compete. Robinson enters the league with lofty expectations and the kinds of player comparables that make mouths water Saquon Barkley, Marshawn Lynch, and Edgerrin James. The team’s win/loss record means nothing to us here in Fantasyland, so Bijan Robinson’s landing spot will suit us just fine. The Falcons have used their third-straight premium first-round pick on a skill position player, as they seem to be determined to run the offense through passable quarterback play and shiny toys. Still, Richardson could start producing early in 2023 with a Konami Code upside that could rival Josh Allen down the line. There could be a bit of a wait if the team allows newly-signed Gardner Minshew to operate under a familiar Shane Steichen offense. Richardson has a literal 10.0 out of 10 in terms of his RAS scoring, with the absolute best athletic testing of any of the 916 quarterbacks who have tested since 1987. That can be enough to scare people off of taking him with such a premium pick, but the upside he offers is off the charts, particularly for teams who “earned” the 1.01 the old-fashioned way by having a terrible team. The biggest and most obvious knock on Richardson is his inexperience (13 games in his college career) and his inaccuracy (53.8% completion percentage). Running backs of Bijan Robinson’s caliber typically rule the top of rookie drafts -even in SuperFlex leagues- but Anthony Richardson offers league-winning upside at a position that typically has a much longer shelf life. *Pre-draft average draft position pulled from Dynasty League Football 1.01- QB Anthony Richardson, Colts Brandon Niles (4for4) Round 1 Round 1, Picks 1-6 Pick The full grid of the draft is at the bottom of the article.
