Fantasy Football Mock Draft: Young Running Backs Rising
As OTAs progress toward training camp, we continue to gear up for peak drafting season. Which young runners went in the early rounds of our 12-team mock?

Round 7

Pick Team Selection Position
73 Blair Ames Greg Olsen TE4
74 Abe Schwadron Carson Wentz QB4
75 Akash Bhatia Hunter Henry TE5
76 Joseph Redemann Evan Engram TE6
77 Dale Redman Pierre Garcon WR34
78 Brandon Gdula Cooper Kupp WR35
79 JJ Zachariason Chris Hogan WR36
80 Austan Kas Emmanuel Sanders WR37
81 Anthony Amico Tarik Cohen RB34
82 Drew Crawford Dez Bryant WR38
83 Jim Sannes Marlon Mack RB35
84 Justin Freeman Marshawn Lynch RB36


Best Pick: Evan Engram

In fantasy circles, many believe that Evan Engram is due for some regression with a healthy Odell Beckham on the outside and rookie Saquon Barkley spearheading a revamped rushing attack. But nabbing Engram at pick 76 is a full round later than his current ADP.

There's no denying that Engram's targets spiked after Beckham went down with an injury in Week 5, but with an increase in offensive efficiency (See Barkley, Saquon) --- and hopefully better play from Eli Manning --- Engram should be able to improve upon a 55.6% catch rate.

As the TE6 in this draft (TE5 now with Hunter Henry going down), Engram is a solid value with big potential in his second NFL season.
