Round 7 - Damien Harris, Trey Sermon, Ronald Jones Here's that list from the preview, for reference: Starting in Round 7 I would attack the position with a vigor. Neither of those teams have a running back yet, but both look like contenders to me even if my running backs come from the waiver wire. Russell Wilson, Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen, Allen Robinson, Mark Andrews.Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Allen Robinson, Tyler Lockett, Cooper Kupp, Travis Kelce.This leads to a pair of possible dream builds through Round 6:
Cooper Kupp and Tyler Lockett would be the right guys falling. I might even take two if the right guys fall. If I already have a tight end and quarterback then I'm looking for at least one more receiver before I turn to running backs. In Round 5 I'm taking Mark Andrews if I don't yet have a tight end, or possibly one of those Tier 2 quarterbacks. if you miss them, I'd start the year streaming. If you miss them, then hopefully Ryan Tannehill, Tom Brady, or Aaron Rodgers will be there in Round 7 or 8. If Mahomes is going in Round 1 in your league then I would target the last of the Tier 2 guys in Round 5 or 6.
I love that scenario, but it may not be available to you. For instance, Patrick Mahomes is often available in Round 3 in our leagues and Lamar Jackson is almost always there in Round 4. The quarterback part of the equation is a tough one to translate depending on the league. If I take two receivers in Rounds 3 and 4, Keenan Allen and Allen Robinson would be my dream turn. If I didn't get Kelce, then I'd be happy to take Darren Waller or George Kittle late in Round 3. If I landed Kelce in Round 1, then I'm looking at receivers and maybe a quarterback in Rounds 3 and 4. As a backup plan, I'm satisfied with Stefon Diggs, Calvin Ridley, or A.J. This isn't particularly likely, but can happen if you have the 11th or 12th pick. My dream scenario starts with me landing two of Davante Adams, Travis Kelce, and Tyreek Hill with my first two picks. But first I'd like to tackle the dream Zero-RB build, then a more realistic path based on current ADP.
#FANTASY FOOTBALL DRAFT STRATEGY UPDATE#
In my Running Back Outlook I gave you my favorite Zero-RB targets, and I'll update those as ADP gets more firm. Now that we've straightened out when to go Zero-RB, let's talk about how. If multiple teams in front of you have started without a running back in their first two picks, I would strongly consider a more balanced roster-building approach. Thankfully, this is an adjustment easily made in Round 2. That increases exponentially with every team avoiding running backs early. In fact, if you're playing with two Zero-RB truthers, this strategy becomes more difficult to pull off. If you're playing with 11 Zero-RB truthers, I would strongly suggest drafting all the elite running backs you can. The final requirement is that your league needs to be filled with managers who value running backs early. If you have an early pick, Hero-RB is the better approach, where you draft one elite RB and then fill your team out with pass catchers. Also, I'm not considering Zero-RB with a top-two pick in one-QB leagues, and I'd prefer to employ Zero-RB when I'm picking in the back half of the first round.
