BALLER MOVE: Target ~145
CURRENT ADP: 154.6
ANALYSIS: Christine Michael has been considered a late-round sleeper for just about forever, and has never amassed 200 yards on the ground in a single season.However, Thomas Rawls hasn’t played in the preseason as he continues to recover from last year’s fractured ankle. In his absence, Michael has been absolutely dominant to the tune of 24 carries for 157 yards (an insane 6.5 yards per carry). Even if Rawls is healthy, Michael should have a solid role. Seattle’s coaching staff has raved about the 25-year-old’s weight loss, maturity, and newfound dedication. At this point, outperforming his current 154.6 ADP seems like a lock rather than a mere projection.
