2016 NFL Draft Analysis for Fantasy Football - Running Back Paul Perkins

Position, Tean, NFL Draft Spot: RB, New York Giants, 5.10

Dynasty Positional Rank: 44

Redraft Target Round: Late round selection

Analysis: Perkins was another running back that fell on draft day due to the depth of the position. Teams had no problems skipping on running backs early in the draft because they knew that some would fall to the later rounds. In the fifth round, the New York Giants selected Perkins to add another punch to their backfield.

Perkins may struggle to find playing time behind Jennings, Williams, and Vereen this season. He has the elusiveness and home run ability to work his way onto the field in passing and long yardage situations, but that likely will not justify selecting him in re-draft leagues.

Perkins has more dynasty appeal because he could become a “lightning” player to someone like Andre Williams’ “thunder.” He’s never going to be a workhorse running back for a team, but that is a rare type of player in the NFL. Perkins was a highly productive runner in college, though, and he has flashed the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. If he learns has to pass protect, Perkins would likely become a bit more than a third down back, which gives him decent upside in dynasty style leagues.
