But outside of Superflex leagues, there is no reason to take a QB in the first round (or the second round, for that matter). The 24-year-old is clearly the best QB in the NFL and should be a fantasy stud. Overrated: Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs – 9th overall He and Drew Brees are ridiculously in sync (career 78.1 percent catch rate), and the club even has a big-armed backup in Jameis Winston to get Thomas the ball if Brees were to miss time. Thomas is in his prime (age 27) and has averaged 117.5 catches and 1,378 yards in his initial four seasons.
Smart fantasy managers wait until the middle rounds of drafts to reach for upside. The old expression, “You can’t win your league in the first round, but you can lose it there” comes into play here. I almost listed Thomas as the safest bet, but I can also put him in this category. Underrated: Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints – 6th overall

One could argue that a change to QB Teddy Bridgewater will negatively impact McCaffrey, but Bridgewater is at least a small upgrade over the Panthers QB play last season. But McCaffrey is far and away the safest first-round pick, due to insane receiving prowess (career average of 101 catches per year) that ensures he will be among the most productive backs even without putting up a notable rushing total. I know, I know - I grabbed the lowest-hanging fruit here. Round 1: Picks 1-10 Safest Bet: Christian McCaffrey, Carolina Panthers – 1st overall
