We’re getting closer to the late rounds now, which is sure to be interesting as we see more rookies and darkhorses come off the board. Fantasy Football Experts Drafts are always interesting, and this has been no different. When do backup QBs begin to get drafted? And with no flex option in this league, but three starting wide receivers, will we see a fall-off on running backs at this point?
Follow along here and on Twitter as Fantasy writers make picks.
We’ll also be tweeting analysis about each of our picks, and the analysis will be posted here for readers to follow along with.
Here are the picks and write-ups from:
