A solid strategy this season seems to be Hero RB, so it’s a goal to get a top 10ish RB in round 1 or 2, pound WR and fill the onesie positions before getting back to RB around round 8. At 8, CMac, Breece and Bijan should be gone. Tyreek and CeeDee will be gone. Ideally, Amun Ra StBrown would fall to 8. He’s the last WR with no concerns. It gets tough when it’s a choice of JChase, JJefferson, AJBrown, GWilson, Puka, JGibbs, JTaylor, Kyren Williams and Saquon. Chase has slight concerns due to contract issues and questions about Joe Burrow’s durability. Drafting JJ means relying on Sam Darnold to make a first round pick pay off. Yuck. AJBrown is as talented as they come, has shown overall WR1 play, but his bad streak at the end of last season is concerning. However, it also could be the launching pad for a statement season. Taking Wilson is to bet the whole season on Aaron Rodgers, who presents questions of age, and the non-zero chance that he just might not have it after two years away from his last sustained success. It’s the Jets, so disaster is not unexpected. Puka looks quite solid. McVay and Stafford are a reliable formula to support two top 20 WRs. If one eschews WR in round one, there are the RBs to consider: JTaylor looks the consummate three down back, has receiving chops, and should be in his prime. Gibbs is young, talented, runs behind a top OLine, but his upside is capped by David Montgomery’s role. Saquon still holds that promise of elite level performance, especially on a high level offense. But there are nagging questions of durability and how much upside he could have on an offense with so many other options. Kyren Williams is highly touted by many. But the presence of Blake Corum and his newly announced role of kickoff returner makes one wonder if McVay will give him the same heavy usage that led to his outstanding numbers last season. Drafting an RB at 8 means taking a first WR with the 17th pick, and while Harrison Jr, Drake London and Davante Adams have obvious appeal, they do not have a high chance of cracking that top 5 WR that anchor a fantasy squad. Taking the high WR in Round 1 allows for picking the Hero RB in round two: Kyren, Pacheco, Achane, DHenry, JJacobs or Etienne. All have question marks, but carry high potential. All of these players are good. The fear is that in trying to "get cute" by deviating from ADP will cause a team to miss drafting another player who goes on to have that elite season. So there is a balance between making the safe (consensus) pick, and making the "shoot for the moon" pick by following one's gut. What's the best way to approach this spot to leave round two with the best WR/RB combo to build a team around?
