Nailing your mid-round picks in fantasy football drafts is massively helpful.
That's especially true if you can beat the odds and find a useful running back in the middle of the draft.
Last year, fantasy football owners, overall, were optimistic about the chances that Jacksonville Jaguar T.J. Yeldon, taken around the end of the fifth round in 2015 according to Fantasy Football Calculator, could do just that.
Yeldon, the 27th running back off the board last year, finished as the 26th-best fantasy running back by season's end.
A similar story centered on Chris Ivory of the New York Jets.
