Fantasy Football: 8 Players to Target in the Last Round of Your Draft
De'Angelo Henderson, RB, Denver Broncos
Average Draft Position (ADP): 204
Pick/Round: 17.12
Going at the back of the 17th round, or potentially undrafted in some leagues, rookie Denver Broncos running back De'Angelo Henderson is behind lead back C.J. Anderson, but it may not be for long before he jumps over him with preseason performances like this.
His 41-yard touchdown run showcased a little bit of what he did in college at Coastal Carolina, and a second touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers was called back thanks to a holding penalty. Dude can play.
Henderson's 5,556 rushing and receiving yards and 64 touchdowns at Coastal showed he's a boss, and he's slotted behind a guy that hasn't exactly shown the ability to be a workhorse back. Last year, Anderson was limited to 110 carries, and among runners with 100 rushes or more, he ranked only 23rd out of 41 in Rushing Success Rate (39.09%) and 27th in Rushing NEP per attempt (-0.03). Not only did he miss some time due to injury, he just wasn't all that effective.
