Steph Miller argued that Alvin Kamara is the safer Best-Ball Mania pick than teammate Chris Olave even though they are drafted in the same neighborhood. Her case: Kendre Miller has yet to stay healthy long enough to threaten real touches, and the viral training-camp clip of Jamaal Williams looking "slow as molasses" suggests Williams may remain an early-down afterthought. Steph acknowledged the Saints’ offense could be "comically bad," but pointed out Kamara has still averaged 16.2 PPR points in games where he sees at least five targets— a threshold he has cleared in 77 percent of his starts the past two seasons. Because volume is more bankable at running back than wide receiver on talent-poor offenses, Steph is "far more confident Kamara gets his points" and is stacking him aggressively in the sixth and early seventh rounds while letting the field chase Olave’s less predictable spike weeks.

Steph Miller cautioned drafters not to chase Nick Chubb’s name value now that he is floating in the 17th–18th-rounds of BBM6. Even if Joe Mixon were to go down, she doubts the 28-year-old coming off multiple knee procedures can handle more than 60 percent of Houston’s carries, and he offers zero third-down equity. Steph acknowledged the viral workout videos but reminded viewers that rehabbing backs almost always look explosive in controlled settings. She is instead clicking Rico Dowdle at pick 177, reasoning that Dowdle is already entrenched as Dallas’ No. 2 and doesn’t need an outlier medical recovery to pay off. In her words, “take the guy with a locked-in role rather than betting on Dalvin-Cook-style dust.” Chubb remains a last-round flyer only when he perfectly correlates; otherwise Steph is out.

Steph Miller grouped Trey Benson with Buffalo’s Ray Davis as the two clearest No. 2 backs on high-scoring offenses that have an every-down starter in front of them. She noted that Arizona already uses Ty Johnson strictly as a third-down specialist, so Benson projects to own the early-down contingency role if James Conner misses time. Because both the Bills and Cardinals are expected to score plenty of points, Steph said the two handcuffs carry almost identical weekly upside. Her approach is to draft whichever one is cheaper—or better correlates with the rest of her roster—arguing that the slight ADP gap is free equity for Best Ball Mania drafters who are light on late-round running backs. She admitted to a “blind spot” on Benson exposure and plans to correct it by sprinkling him into more builds going forward.

Steph Miller said she is more comfortable clicking Isiah Pacheco in the late-fourth/early-fifth round now that Kansas City refused to spend real draft capital at running back. The Chiefs waited until the final rounds to add only a depth piece (Rashard Smith), a move Steph read as a loud vote of confidence in Pacheco’s three-down profile. She reminded listeners that recency bias from his February shoulder surgery temporarily pushed his ADP into the 70s, but the role never disappeared—Pacheco accounted for 72% of Kansas City’s red-zone carries after Week 10 last year and averaged 19.4 opportunities in games where he topped 50% snaps. Without meaningful competition and with Patrick Mahomes still forcing light boxes (league-leading 6.3 defenders in the box per Sports Info Solutions), Steph views Pacheco as a rare back who can deliver both floor and spike weeks on a Super Bowl favorite. She is actively scooping him any time he drifts past pick 50 in Best Ball Mania 6 drafts.

Steph Miller argued Blake Corum remains fully draftable near pick 195 even though he projects for minimal work behind Kyren Williams out of the gate. She admitted Corum is "mostly an injury-dependent bet" but thinks the thesis is worth it: if Williams’ chronic foot issues flare up again, Sean McVay would lean on Corum’s proven three-down profile— he averaged 5.6 yards per carry and caught 35 passes last year at Michigan. Steph compared the pick to Will Shipley as a pure contingency play but prefers Corum because the Rams quietly upgraded run blocking by adding Jackson Powers-Johnson and Christian Haynes. With Los Angeles expected to rank top-12 in red-zone snaps, Corum could stumble into double-digit TD upside for the final month if the depth chart breaks his way.

Steph Miller said she’s hammering Travis Hunter in the last two rounds because Jacksonville coaches are "gushing about him every day." Beat writers report the rookie is being scripted for 5-6 designed touches per game— jet sweeps, bubble screens, and the occasional go-ball— which is enough for spike weeks given his 4.38 speed and 97th-percentile explosiveness metrics. Steph compared the role to the early-career version of Deebo Samuel and emphasized that Hunter’s value skyrockets if Kyren Williams misses time: Hunter becomes the primary space player in a top-10 pace offense. Jacksonville’s playoff schedule (Week 16 at Chicago, Week 17 in Indy) keeps him in climate-controlled environments, making him an ideal WR8 on tournament rosters hunting for one-play upside.

Steph Miller defended clicking Rhamondre Stevenson any time he’s on the board after pick 125. She reminded listeners that Stevenson ranked top-five in yards after contact per attempt in 2022 and believes last season’s swoon was more about New England’s historically bad offense than the runner himself. Bill O’Brien’s replacement, Alex Van Pelt, has already said the Patriots "want to run the ball and play to our strengths," and the front office backed that up by investing Day-2 capital in two offensive linemen. Steph is not buying the narrative that rookie TreVeyon Henderson will wipe Stevenson off the field; she expects a 60-65% snap share for the veteran with goal-line work intact. At pick 130 you’re paying for a floor she says, "still comes with a top-12 ceiling if the Pats just become league-average."

Steph Miller snagged Najee Harris as an "early-season bridge" and said she prefers him over rookie Kimani Hampton in the same range. Her logic: Harris should dominate touches out of the gate while the Chargers slow-roll Hampton, giving best-ball drafters two usable months before bye weeks hit. Steph pointed to Jim Harbaugh’s public commitment to a downhill rushing identity (52% neutral-situation run rate in spring practices) and highlighted that Los Angeles quietly upgraded its interior offensive line with the Jonah Jackson signing. Even if Hampton eventually forces a 60/40 split, Steph expects Harris to bank three or four RB2 weeks in September–October, which is exactly what hyper-fragile WR-heavy builds need.

Steph Miller is scooping J.K. Dobbins in the mid-150s, expecting his price to settle in the low-130s once beat-writers tweet daily "full-speed" clips from camp. She tracked his draft-board trajectory: 154 on Tuesday, 140 in sharper rooms by Wednesday, and predicts a gradual rise as coach-speak keeps glowing. Steph still plans to fade if he crosses into the 120s—echoing her earlier warning—but views the current window as free equity. Her rationale: Sean Payton repeatedly said he wants to lean on a single early-down back, and Denver’s revamped run-blocking unit added maulers Frank Ragnow and Blake Fisher. Even a 55% share would give Dobbins double-digit TD upside in Payton’s historically efficient red-zone schemes (top-6 in RB rush TD rate in nine of his 15 seasons).

Steph Miller called Chris Godwin a "no-brainer" when he slipped to pick 74, happily locking him in as her WR6. She argued that Tampa Bay’s decision to hand Godwin a sizeable extension—while reportedly outbidding a larger Patriots offer—signals real optimism about his health outlook. Even if the veteran starts a bit slow, Steph wants Buccaneers exposure because she views them as a "high-powered offense" capable of producing late-season shootouts that matter in BBM6. Grabbing Godwin in the mid-seventh round, roughly two rounds after his pre-draft price, provides bankable volume with room for spike weeks once defenses tilt coverage toward Mike Evans. Steph is intentionally upping her Tampa stack percentage and said any time Godwin falls into the 70s she will "click the button without hesitation."

Steph Miller warned against chasing J.K. Dobbins as his Underdog ADP rockets from the mid-160s toward the 120s in the wake of recent news. She is willing to grab "a couple of shares in the 140s" but will pass as soon as he is priced next to Rhamondre Stevenson and Zach Charbonnet. Steph argued that post-injury Dobbins offers almost no pass-catching juice, and early OTA reports indicate Denver plans to rotate three backs—Audric Estime in short yardage, Jaleel McLaughlin in space, and Samaje Perine/Harvey in protection—leaving Dobbins with a low-value early-down role. Although he graded out as Denver’s best runner last year, Steph said that was "more about how bad the other backs were than how good he was." Given the committee risk, lack of receiving upside, and price inflation, she considers Dobbins a trap pick anywhere north of 130 overall and recommends waiting for a correlated fall or simply fading him.

Steph Miller said rostering both ancillary Miami running backs behind De'Von Achane can pay off because Achane’s slight frame (5'9", 188 lbs) and track-style usage raise legitimate durability concerns. Miami produced two top-18 weeks from multiple backs last season, and Mike McDaniel’s wide-zone scheme has finished top-five in EPA per rush since he arrived. If Achane misses time, Steph expects the backfield to consolidate around Raheem Mostert and rookie Jaylen Wright, each capable of ripping long runs against the league’s light boxes that Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle force. She views the double-tap as a low-cost Week 17 leverage play in BBM6 tournaments, especially because Miami closes the fantasy playoffs in a potential shootout against Kansas City.
