Non-PPR leagues are rare, but they exist. You need at least two more quality guys that could step up throughout the season as needed, specifically in case of injury, bye weeks or as a solid flex option. Having two studs slated in your starting lineup won’t cut it. The chances of finding a quality RB in later rounds is slim, not to mention they don’t frequent the waiver wire like other positions do. Overload on RB depth before filling empty position slot needs If you are in a 10+ person league and have one of the last picks in the first round, especially if it’s a non-PPR league, there may not be an elite RB/WR pick left that’s worth your first selection. Mobile QBs have an added value with rushing yards. If your quarterback is worth more than normal, which is the case in certain leagues, then maybe you spring for the top three QBs in an earlier round. If you have a two-QB league, it may be worth snagging a top-tier QB earlier on than you normally would in a one-QB league.Ĭheck to see how much weight is put on QBs in your league settings, specifically, if it’s four or six points per passing TD. Let’s put it this way - you won’t find another RB that’s the same caliber as guys like Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey, Austin Ekeler, Dalvin Cook… and the list goes on… in the third round like you will a quarterback.
Trust me, the same can’t be said for the flip side. Don’t waste your first few rounds of draft capital on a position that will still have plenty of available, viable options left in later rounds. The point potential gap from QB to QB is significantly smaller than the gap between other skill positions - like RB and WR. Make sure you stack up on skill positions before you reach for the big-name quarterback. Keep an eye on what your competitors do at QB, sit back and see who falls to you in Rounds 5-6-7. The Ringer’s 10-11-12 are Burrow, Dak Prescott, and Aaron Rodgers.
ESPN’s 10th-, 11th- and 12th-ranked QBs are Russell Wilson, Joe Burrow, and Matt Stafford. If you fail to land a RB early, you’ll be guessing who to start each week for at least a month into the season. Of course at that point you’re doomed to hoping you luck out with a late-round RB pick (think Cam Akers or the like). At 8, you’ll be picking again after just four more players are off the board. 8 in your draft and all those guys are gone, are you going to take the eighth-ranked RB? You could, but at that point wouldn’t it make more sense to perhaps take the best WR available? Because you play two of them each week also. Seven of the top 10 ranked players on ESPN and The Ringer’s fantasy projections are RBs. You play two of these every week, and there simply aren’t enough studs to go around. I’ll go first:īC: Unless the circumstances are dire (more on that in a second), you absolutely must take a beast of a running back with your first pick.
