The Draft has changed the draft landscape
How much do you love Jeremiyah Love ?

That's an important question Fantasy managers will be asking themselves on Draft Day this season after the Cardinals selected Love at No.

3 overall in the NFL Draft .

In our first 12-team, PPR mock draft following the NFL Draft, Love went in Round 3 as the No.

13 running back off the board.

That's a great spot for him, and I hope his Average Draft Position stays in this range.

The first 13 running backs drafted here were Jahmyr Gibbs , Bijan Robinson , De'Von Achane , Christian McCaffrey , Jonathan Taylor , James Cook , Derrick Henry , Chase Brown , Ashton Jeanty , Omarion Hampton , Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Walker III .

Along with Josh Jacobs , I would draft all of those running backs ahead of Love this season -- for now.

I might move Love up a spot or two if the Cardinals part ways with James Conner -- free agent addition Tyler Allgeier should remain the backup -- but this could be a crowded backfield on a bad team.

In the current situation, Love should be fantastic, but his upside might be slightly capped.

The next rookie running back selected in the NFL Draft was Love's teammate at Notre Dame, Jadarian Price , who went at No.

32 overall in Round 1 to Seattle.

This was a great landing spot with Walker now in Kansas City, along with Zach Charbonnet (knee) likely out for the start of the season.

Price went in Round 6 here, and I love this value as the No.

26 running back off the board.

I would draft Price as early as Round 5 as a No.

2 Fantasy running back, and his price could get expensive this summer if we find out Charbonnet could miss the majority of the season.

The other rookie running backs in this draft were all selected as backups in Round 10 or later, including Mike Washington Jr.

, Jonah Coleman , Emmett Johnson , Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton .

Most of these guys are quality handcuffs, but they will likely need an injury to be Fantasy relevant this season.

Of the rookie receivers, we saw Carnell Tate get picked first in Round 5 here.

This is the range he should be selected, and he was the No.

27 receiver off the board.

I like Tate as a high-end No.

3 Fantasy receiver this season, and he should be the No.

1 option in Tennessee's passing game for Cam Ward .

Makai Lemon was the next rookie receiver selected in Round 7.

He was the No.

34 receiver off the board, and this is a great value.

I'm torn on Tate vs.

Lemon for the top rookie receiver spot, and I expect him to be great as the No.

2 option in the Philadelphia passing game opposite DeVonta Smith once A.J.

Brown is traded.

Jordyn Tyson went seven spots after Lemon in Round 7, and I also like this value as the No.

37 receiver in this draft.

Tyson should excel as the No.

2 option in the passing game for the Saints and Kellen Moore behind Chris Olave .

The other rookie receivers selected in this draft included KC Concepcion , Brenen Thompson , Omar Cooper Jr.

, Antonio Williams , Denzel Boston and Zachariah Branch .

They were all drafted in Round 11 or later, and the value for Concepcion could be fantastic if the Browns get quality quarterback play from either Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders .

The only other rookie selected here was tight end Kenyon Sadiq in Round 6.

I love his upside, but he should not go in Round 6 in redraft leagues, especially as the No.

6 tight end off the board.

The earliest I would consider drafting Sadiq is Round 12 as a No.

2 Fantasy tight end with upside.

As a reference point for this mock draft, all touchdowns are worth six points, and we award one point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving and one point for every 25 yards passing.

We also award one point for every reception.

We feature a starting lineup of QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, TE and FLEX (RB/WR/TE) with six reserves for a 14-round draft.
