National Football Post has an article on drafting rookies for fantasy, and they have Lions rookie RB Jahvid Best on the top of the list:
When to pull the trigger: Anytime in Round 5
For a fifth-round draft pick, Best has the potential to produce a top-15 stat line.
The breakdown: A speedy, slash-and-dash style runner with great vision and open field speed, Best is a dual-threat running back with a lot of upside. The Lions liked this guy so much they traded back into the bottom of the first round this past April to acquire his services. The 21-year old landed on the radars of scouts and Heisman voters alike after a 2008 campaign at California that consisted of 1,826 total yards and 16 touchdowns with an impressive 8.1 yards per carry average.
Unfortunately, his 2009 season was cut short due to a couple of concussions, but that wasn’t enough to stop the Lions from making him a first-round selection. Best will compete with veteran Kevin Smith for snaps, but look for the rookie to handle the bulk of the workload since Smith is coming back from a torn ACL. With wideouts Calvin Johnson and Nate Burleson stretching the field on the outside, Best should be free to eat up the open space underneath. The fifth-round draft value is what makes Best one of our favorite rookies heading into training camp.
