Fantasy Relevant Rookie: QB Andrew Luck (Indianapolis)  

The Colts Lucked their way into the top pick – or should I say Sucked their way into Luck. Regardless they were able to secure what most experts think will be a franchise QB for the next decade. The Indy passing offense plummeted to 27th in the NFL under Curtis Painter (finished #1 in passing offense in 2010 with Peyton under center). At 6’4, 235 he has ideal size and played in a pro style the past two years under current 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh. Luck could emerge as a decent BYE week filler later in the season but the bumps in the road will likely limit his production early on.

Fantasy Relevant Rookie: RB David Wilson (NY Giants)  

The Giants run game ranked a league worst 32nd in the league last season (89 YPG). The defending Super Bowl champs let Brandon Jacobs walk (signed with San Francisco). Big Blue’s thunder & lightning ground attack was in need of a jolt of youth which led to the selection of Virginia Tech’s David Wilson with the final pick of the first round (#32 overall). The ACC Player of the Year ran for 1,709 yards in 2011 and topped 100 yards in 10 games.

Fantasy Relevant Rookie: RB Doug Martin (Tampa Bay)  

The 31st overall pick in the 2012 draft has a very good chance at unseating Legarrette Blount as the week 1 starter in Tampa’s backfield. Let’s just hope that Blount took some offseason anger management classes as I’m sure he’ll want to deliver a knockout punch to another Boise State alum after Martin steals his starting job. The Ray Rice clone has the potential to emerge as a solid RB2 especially in PPR leagues. I would expect a 70-30 split in Martin’s favor to start the season with a very good chance that he sees the lion’s share of the workload in the 2nd half of the season. Martin is a true 3-down RB and his dynamic playmaking ability and pass catching prowess will be a welcomed addition for a Tampa offense that averaged just 18 PPG last season.

Fantasy Relevant Rookie: RB Trent Richardson (Cleveland Browns)  

Peyton Hillis was a top 5 fantasy RB in 2010 and Richardson has a much higher fantasy ceiling so it wouldn’t be crazy to consider him as a 2nd round value despite not having taken an NFL snap. T-Rich has ideal size (5’11, 225) to be a workhorse RB and his solid pass blocking / receiving ability makes him a candidate for 20-25 carries a game. Richardson is a borderline RB1 and rock solid RB2 as the Browns boast a solid yet unspectacular offensive line.
