RB Heavy Strategy

There's way more depth at WR later in the draft I agree

How many Wrs can you start?

ETA: in my PPR league last year Ceedee was the leading non-qb scorer and Tyreek was only 10 points behind CMC. 6 receivers outscored the second highest RB scorer.

IMO, there's value in guys like Josh Jacobs, Kenneth Walker, Alvin Kamara, Joe Mixon, and James Cook, who can be had in round 3 or later. There's no way I'd go RB in round 2 if I went RB in round 1.

Bijan/Hall at 1.02 - like it
ETN/Kyren at 2.09 -sure, prefer Kyren though
Cook/Walker at 3.02- no thank you, prefer the WRs there for sure.

Kyren and Etienne have ADPs of 2.05 and 2.06. I’d be surprised if they’re still on the board at 2.09, but could be.

If I were you I’d be looking at WR in the 3rd. You may be reaching a bit on ADP, but you have to do that when you’re drafting the ends. Waddle, Collins, Deebo and Aiyuk would probably be there. Olave may even be available.

Jamar Chase, Garret Wilson, Josh Allen, Mike Evans the first 4. RBs ended up with Montgomery, Zamir, Moss, and Warren

Honestly that is a pretty stacked team. Your team will be very good and your rbs are good enough and have upside. Your qb/wrs will carry you every week. That will be a fun team. Were you flexing by saying your team looks rough lol?

Well hoping for a little luck and a team or two goes after some QBs early ????

I was on the WR heavy train but the more mocks I do the more I like my RB/RB builds.

I can see both sides of the coin. There is a lot of value in rounds 4-6 at WR, and I'd bet a lot of money there will be a top 8 receiver finish come from that group.

RB is just a more easily replaceable position. If Amon Ra gets hurt, it probably doesn't make Jameson Williams a top 10 receiver. If Kyren Williams gets hurt, Blake Coram could be a top 10 RB, and he's going undrafted in a lot of leagues. It's just an easier position to fill throughout the year on waivers and get similar production to an early pick.

Basically you might have to stomach some weak links in the roster early in the year but I think WR heavy could pay dividends down the road as waivers play out.

Just used it in 12 team PPr league
Saquan 1.8
Kyren 2.17
James Cook 3.32
Tank Dell 4.41
Higgins 5.56
Evan Engram 6.65
Jayden Reed 7.80
Jayden Daniels 8.89
Cleve 9.104
Chase Brown 10.113
Trevor Lawrence 11.128
Khalil Hebert 12.137
Luke Musgrave, Jahan Dotson and Jalynn Polk to round it out ... no kicker league

Also, report card was a "D" and I'm projected to finish last in league at 3-11... behind a guy who drafted Houston Defense in 5th round.

I think you should go in with the strategy you like and let the board fall to you.

Last year I picked last in a 12 team league. Took CeeDee and AJ Brown with my top 2 picks. My RBs drafted were Pacheco, Hebert, Akers. Obviously I dropped Hebert and Akers.

Picked up Achane, Kyren, and Jerome Ford on waivers. Won the league.

Also Burrow and Andrews went down with injury. Grabbed Stafford and Likely off waivers.

Draft strategy can work but also playing the waivers smartly too. Last year a lot of top RBs failed to produce.
