Thomas Rawls (RB, SEA) - Fantasy Football Draft Value

BALLER MOVE: Target ~110

CURRENT ADP: ~125

ANALYSIS: With all the attention on Eddie Lacy, Thomas Rawls is being overlooked as a late-round flier. The situation in Seattle is murky at best. There are three running backs of note, all of which can eat into each other's workload. To make matters worse, each one seems to have some sort of health issue. All that said, Rawls could end up returning great value if Lacy doesn't bounce back.

Rawls has been given the first shot as the team's starting running back, a tidbit that turned some heads. Yet once upon a time, Rawls was once a legit contender to be the lead dog anyway. We've established this is all about trying to find guys who outperform their ADP and Rawls has that potential.

Even if we were to assume that he's not going to break out into a superstar, there is a very easy path for him to be a starting running back in the NFL. That is something that will always have value in fantasy. That tends to get overblown from time to time, but it's still ultimately true.

You want potential starting RBs on your bench and that's exactly what Rawls is. Sometimes that's all it takes to be a sleeper.
