Draft these players in Fantasy Football with confidence, even if the experts say not to

- George Pickens is primed for a big year

- Ignore the "red flags" in the Jets' backfield

- The New York Giants still rely on one player for much of their offense

Breece Hall, RB, New York Jets

There are many reasons why Breece Hall lands on Fantasy Pros' list and those are valid reasons as Hall is easily the riskiest pick here. However, talent should never be ignored.

Yes, Hall is coming off of a torn ACL and yes, the New York Jets have gone out and signed Dalvin Cook. But if Hall starts to fall down the board toward round four or beyond in your draft, I would take him, especially if you already have a solid running back on your roster and Hall is your second running back.

Prior to being injured last year, Hall was having a season that could have easily led to him being Offensive Rookie of the Year. He's still just 22 years old and will be a force as soon as he gets back on the field.

When that happens remains to be seen, so patience will be needed for Hall's owners. He is going to lose carries to Cook, but that's not the end of the world. The Jets have a dynamic offense led by one of the best quarterbacks in league history. They will ease him back onto the field and turn him loose when he's ready.

If you can ride it out the same way and then unleash him on your fantasy opponents, you could stride into your fantasy playoffs.

Depending on the size of your league, if Hall is still there in round four or five, I take him. There is no way I'm taking guys like Rhamondre Stevenson, Cam Akers or Aaron Jones over him. Those are all players that Fantasy Pros have ranked ahead of Hall here.
