BALLER MOVE: Target ~20
CURRENT ADP: ~25
ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon is the most obvious top-end sleeper leading into the season. He was the most obvious when he was signed by San Francisco, but there was concern over the 49ers drafting an early down back - someone like Rashaad Penny, Royce Freeman, or even Nick Chubb. None of that happened.
Kyle Shanahan said he envisions Jerick McKinnon in the Devonta Freeman role and the 49ers' inaction on the RB front in the draft supports that. The Niners could very well still sign DeMarco Murray and that would definitely decrease McKinnon's value a little, but nothing to overly concern me. Murray is done and his addition would merely knock McKinnon's ADP back by maybe a round. Either way, he is poised for a significant jump in value than what we saw last year. He will be a PPR machine in 2018, has RB1 potential, and could be a top-end RB by the end of the season.
