It's late August, and millions of football fans and friends across the country are coming together to eat, drink, and talk smack. In other words, the NFL season is about to get underway, which means it's time to earn bragging rights during your Fantasy Football draft.
While most of the big-name former Georgia football stars are on the defensive side of the ball, there are still plenty of talented offensive weapons from UGA going in the early to mid rounds in fantasy drafts.
So here is a composite of Georgia's top offensive players approximate ADPs (average draft position) in 12-team leagues so far this fantasy draft season.
Brock Bowers - TE (Las Vegas Raiders) -Round 1-2
In what will be only his second year in the league, tight end Brock Bowers is already the best in the business and the No. 1 tight end in the NFL. After breaking the rookie record for receptions in a rookie season (by all pass-catchers, not just tight ends), he is coming off the board earliest late in the first round and early in the second
James Cook - RB (Buffalo Bills) Round 2-3
The versatile young running back with great hands has quickly become a stalwart in the Bills' backfield. James Cook appears to have only gotten faster and more difficult to tackle as he has ascended into pro ball.
Ladd McConkey - WR (L.A. Chargers) Round 2-3
The fleet-footed, herky-jerky Ladd McConkey wowed Georgia fans with his ability to get open for Stetson Bennett IV during his time between the hedges and is continuing to shake defenders and find open area on Sundays as well.
D'Andre Swift - RB (Chicago Bears) Round 4-5
The king of the dead-leg cut is starting his second full season in the Windy City with The Monsters of the Midway. D'Andre Swift still has tremendous burst and top-end speed and is inheriting prolific former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson as his head coach. That should bode well for the former Dawg.
George Pickens - WR (Dallas Cowboys) Round 5-6
George Pickens is mercurial, eccentric, and has hands covered in glue. Pickens joins the Dallas Cowboys for his third NFL season and will look to thrive opposite CeeDee Lamb in Dallas. We'll see if Dak Prescott can find him more often than the Steelers QB did.
Matthew Stafford - QB (L.A. Rams) Round 9-10
In most fantasy leagues, quarterbacks aren't as valuable as wide receivers and running backs, depending on the scoring format being used. Matthew Stafford still has a cannon attached to his right shoulder and now has both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams out wide who will be easy targets to throw to.
