I prefer the opposite approach if you have a late pick, loading up on two top-tier pass-catchers with your first two selections and potentially going with a Zero-RB strategy should things fall that way with your late-third-round pick. His targets last season were the eighth most in the NFL regardless of position and tied for the fourth-highest total among all tight ends in league history.
Kelce is as good of a fantasy football receiver prospect as any other player heading into this season, and he just so happens to play a diluted tight end position. Go get the most valuable fantasy football asset on the market when it comes to ceiling and positional value. Picks ? A top-tier running back, without a doubt — Barkley, McCaffrey and Kamara, in that order. The obvious elephant in the room is that Elliott is also part of that tier … if he plays.
The Cowboys recently re-signed veteran Alfred Morris, whom they felt comfortable feeding Was really wanting to just restate the fact to be flexible and if Julio falls to you at the beginning of the second then there are situations where value trumps strategy. Hope that makes more sense. Ideally with this strategy you have a top 3 TE. What pick do you have? A fellow writer on QBList was just in a league of similar makeup and got that combo in the 5th and 6th.
I can also guarantee that no QBs will be drafted in the first round and will almost for sure be undervalued as they normally pick QBs in the third and later. Thats just has always been the sentiment of the large because we also start 3 receivers 2 running backs, and a flex also only three bench spots. How does the pattern change if your league scoring allows one starting QB and has 2 flex, but one can be a QB in a flex spot.
Is it dumb to consider keeping Brown, Julio and Kittle and targeting Tanehill in later rounds? Then addressing rb with my 1st round pick. For transparency I also have Lamar and Kyler on my roster.
Stay tuned here in the next week as I will be putting out an updated Draft Prep series of articles to help with the current state of the NFL!
He is so undervalued it is silly. Just cover your bye weeks. The only scenario I would take Mahomes in round 1 is in a 2 QB, Superflex, or some other setting that beefs up QBs passing yard bonus, points per completion, etc. Otherwise, you are doing yourself a disservice at all the other skill positions you need to fill.

That's nothing to sneeze at, but think of what's left at running back if you choose that route. Are you cool with starting Kareem Hunt and Melvin Gordon in Week 1 knowing that both won't have the roles you remember them having? Some people love this strategy, called Zero RB because you literally draft zero RBs with at least your first four picks , but in a year where stud running backs are actually plentiful, Fantasy managers shouldn't have to commit to such a strategy.
Giving the rest of the league an edge over you at the most sought-after position doesn't sound like a winning strategy to me. An alternative is to draft one running back early, then fill up on other positions before coming back to running backs in Round 5 or later. At least you'll have one top-tier hero tethered to your lineup while you hope to luck into another with your other picks and waiver moves during the year.
There are enough running backs with some modest upside to make this work, but it's not a perfect plan. The other piece of advice is to draft a lot of running backs, period. Remember, this position tends to score more than their counterparts, people love trading for them, injuries can change their values quickly, and you need to start at least two of them every week. Also, the league's move to a game schedule is yet another reason to bulk up. Coaches will devise a plan to keep their running backs fresh by installing some sort of "pitch count," even for the top stars in the league.
You'll see two-back tandems more often, though it shouldn't affect the premier guys as much as others who aren't as explosive. Combine that with the normal wear-and-tear running backs deal with and we will all find more running backs stumbling into reliable pockets of playing time once the season unfolds, even if it's just for two or three weeks.
