The Ameer Abdullah hype train keeps chugging along and picking up pace after a great first preseason game. His rapidly increasing ADP has climbed into the fourth round, and JJ was able to get what has to now be considered a value in the fifth round.

C.J. Spiller's value has taken a hit, as he decided to have his knee cleaned out prior to Week 1. If he recovers quickly, Spiller should be a steal in any types of PPR formats with the Saints.

At 57th overall, I drafted Allen Robinson. The offseason hype has me sold, especially as a third receiver for my squad. Another player with a rising ADP during the summer, Robinson is not someone I'm willing to miss out on.

Travis Kelce at the back end of the fifth round was a pick that caused a couple of the drafters to give immediate praise. After being on a limited snap count for much of the season, look for Kelce to offer more upside than Jimmy Graham as the second best fantasy tight end at a cheaper cost.
