Dynasty Leagues: Pint-sized playmakers
Keaton Mitchell keeps busting loose for long runs. At what point do we start thinking of this guy as pretty similar to Jahmyr Gibbs and DeVon Achane? They’re all small, and they’re all really explosive. more »

Dynasty Leagues: Devon Achane
Devon Achane screamed up rookie draft boards after being selected in the third round by the Dolphins. At the peak, his ADP was 1.08 (it has since settled to 1.12).

His father works as a scout for the team, and he made the phone call ("Do you want to come to work with me next week?"). Vaughn put up big numbers at Kansas State but is tiny -- just 5-foot-5 and 179 pounds. more »
