Elite early-round RB target in deeper leagues; secure him to avoid tier drop.

JJ Zachariason identifies Saquon Barkley as the top running back to target in a 14-team deeper format mock draft, emphasizing the importance of securing elite running back value early given the steep drop-off at the position in expanded leagues. Zachariason advises not allowing the top running back at the third round to be someone like Jaylen Warren, underscoring Barkley's tier-one status. He selects Barkley in the mock draft and emphasizes securing Barkley alongside Ken Walker to ensure running back depth in a draft range where the position is drying up, prioritizing this over wide receiver options like Drake London. Tank Bigsby is identified as the ultimate handcuff who would get a ton of touches if Saquon got injured.
