Sammy Watkins was traded, Jordan Matthews was acquired and Anquan Boldin signed and promptly retired. I was high on Zay previously having him at 1.10 but since July his stock has risen due to personnel moves in Buffalo. Cook has an easier route to RB1 touches with Latavius Murray in front of him rather than Mixon who has Jeremy Hill and Gio Bernard to battle. Mixon may end up with the more productive career over time but on RSO we are drafting for more immediate production as rookie contracts are only three or four years long. In addition to moving McCaffrey out of this tier, I decided to flip-flop Cook and Mixon. If you need a RB over WR, I wouldn’t fault you for getting caught up in the CMC hype at 1.02. Neither falls behind McCaffrey for me, but McCaffrey’s solid preseason work pushes him into a close third in my first tier. Fournette’s value may be negatively impacted by QB Blake Bortles if he continues to struggle like he has so far in the preseason and Davis’s injury hurts his immediate value slightly. I’ve had Fournette and Davis as my 1.01 and 1.02, in that order, from the beginning and don’t plan to change them now. Please note, I am writing this before the third week of preseason games which is typically when we see the most “realistic” preseason football and you’ll likely be reading it during or after those games. I’m sure you will disagree with a number of these picks and I’d like to hear about it on Twitter. It’s easy to fall into the trap of weighting preseason action too heavily so I tried to fight that urge as much as. This August update was the hardest mock I have done so far for RSO (including my first 2018 mock which is yet to be published).
