Every year my leagues have dudes that come in with these strategies. They always end up in either last or first place, no in between. If one of your RBs doesnt deliver, your team will be in last place. Good luck with this strategy. Sometimes the best strategy is just let the draft come to you
I just did this tonight at my draft. Hall and Kyren my first two picks. Then went Nico Collins, DJ Moore, Rice, Scary Terry and in the middle of that WR run I got Mahomes. 3WR slots, 1 flex- Full ppr
I feel like this is a good strategy if you get screwed and have to pick 9-12 this year. something like grabbing 2 of Gibbs, JT, Saquon in first two rounds then hammering WR in middle rounds
@@angelmedina1629same for me with these first 2 picks, I was pick 12 though in a 14 man league 😎. Got DK and Devonta Smith when it came back in 3/4 turn.
Picking 12/13 so this is my goal. Get Williams as a keeper so I’m considering doing 3 headed monster at RB. That strategy last year is why I’m picking last this year.
@@kevinsmith6161 The difference in value between WR and RB has traditionally been greatest rounds 3-6 or 7. I'd rather get 1 or 2 RBs early then slam them late when the difference in value is less. Hard to do that with Robust. I'm fine with guys like Warren, Pollard, Spears, C. Brown, Ford as my third and 4th RB.
If you ever are desperate for a RB2 fill in for a couple weeks there is always 1 available for faab. You can easily go years without getting a WR2 on waivers.
Rather get a stud WR like Amon Ra early, RB like Achane/Henry in round 2, WR round 3, RB like Walker/Cook in rounds 4-5. With so many RB’s dropping like you stated in the beginning, there are quality RB’s in every round. Hero RB or a modified version of this in the example I provided above works best IMO for full PPR leagues.
I go robust RB every year. I Won our big league 2 years in a row. Half way thru the season everyone comes begging for RBs… so I make ridiculous trades. But you’re making me want to switch it up with all the data you bring to the table… love your analysis. Thanks
Man the wide receiver pull is so deep you can take these two running backs first two rounds go your next best receiver top-tier tight end finish mostly with the receivers from them there
I think this depends on what position you're drafting in...first 3-4 picks you have a chance at this. At pick 5 plus, I think you get more for the top wr's left on the board.
I drafted 8 rbs... Taylor, achane, ford, moss, pollard,dowdle,herbert, and chub. You can always find wr, not so much with RB. I managed to get 3 decent WR too... Wilson, kupp, and waddle... Lets goooo!
Got Bijan & Gibbs picking at pick 5 🔥🔥🔥 AR5 & LaPorta… Nabers fell to me.. Pittman & Cooper (Amari) were my top 2 WR picks.. I’m hyped on this draft haul 💯
@@deliriousgeorge2879 I’m hoping Gibbs is good to go week 1 because my next best RB is Gus Edwards 😬 I do have a feeling he’s going to be as good or better than last year (12 TD) but it’s not comforting knowing I may have to count on that out the gate.
After drafting a ton, I believe that the double rb strategy is the way to go, you’ll see if you stack hero RBs early, you’ll be able to build a much more well rounded roster.
The WRs there aren't much better than what's coming back round 3/4 imo. Course I'm talking after AJ Brown. They all have question marks. Wilson, Puka,MHJ, Olave, Adams, London...
I'm 9th in my league I've been doing rb rb wr qb te, it's been working nice. A lot of value wr fall in the 7-9 rounds also 9-12 so good rb come into play. D/L fantasy wizard can do a draft in 3 min. It helps alot
I plan on doing a double RB this year because I'm keeping Breece Hall as my 3rd round pick. I'm sitting at pick #4 so it just depends how the board breaks ahead of me. In most mocks, I usually end up with a top WR in the 1st rd and a stud RB like Etienne/Pacheco/Kyren in the 2nd. Then there's usually some stud WRs/TEs at the 4/5 turn. Then I usually go WR until I get good QB value
In a 10 man; dynasty, PPR, 2QB, 3WR, I got CMC at pick 7, Hall in the 2nd and Garret Wilson in the third. Absolutely dominated the top end of the draft
Good RB starters, but the Wilson pick in the 3rd scares me because of how Rodgers will play and/or stays healthy. I drafted both Rodgers and Wilson last year and got burned heavily for it
I'm drafting 1.1 in a 10 min league. If the chips fall right I'm seriously considering going 3 RBs off the jump. Cause a panic at the position, people reach for RBs after that, good WRs drop to me at the 4/5 turn.
My 12-team PPR league messes things up. (Position:Roster/Start) QB:2/1, RB:5/3, WR/TE:5/3 I simply can't wait too long to get my RB3. It also really dissuades me from drafting a QB (even a top 4) early, since I really need 3 RB's and 3WR/TE's by Round 6.
As I start my delayed research for this coming season, Ron, I wanted to let you know I embraced the void last season, and hit absolute home runs with QB-WR Stacks. Got Purdy + Aiyuk in one, and Dak + CeeDee in the other. Won both leagues. I think I remember you making a video last year about not being afraid of the stack. I completely credit that to my success, and will be riding that lightning again this year if my WR picks pan out that way. God speed, and glad the basement is back in commission 🫡🫡
Depends on the value you're getting on the 2nd RB. There's a world where that second RB could be a steal and it makes sense. I got Gibbs in the 4th as my 2nd RB in a 1RB league and I ended up willing the championship.
Double hero RB hits different when you're in the backend of a 3rd round reversal snake draft. I'm at the 11th out of 12 and I'm able to constantly mock 1 stud WR like Wilson, MHJ or Puka and sometimes AJB and pair them up with any RB's not named Breece or Bijan.
I had the 1st pick in my 12 man ppr league. Snagged CMC, Pacheco, Dak, Trevor Lawrence, Drake London, waddle, Rome oduzne, & Noah fant is my starting offense 💪🏿 (Javonte Williams, Bryce young, jeudy and geisiki as my bench)
Last year I tried double hero RB in one league and landed Bijan and Chubb 😂 This year in another league I get a keeper of breece at round 4 and I’ll probably swing on Gibbs
Its rough but it can happen with WR too. JJ went down for half the season and so did my championship hopes, and WRs are more affected by their QB going down too.
I have pick 11 out of 12 in a keeper league and Achane and Kyren Williams are both keepers and my keeper is Puka so I actually completely agree with this is strategy and this is my plan
How would you handle a league like this?... 10 team start 1QB, 2RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1WR/TE, 1 WR/RB, 1 Superflex? 20 total roster spots. In theory, you could start up to 5 WRs every week. But you can't just draft 5-6-7 WRs in the first 10 rounds because you also have to worry about QB, plus still putting attention to RB and TE. I've been in this league setup for 20 years now. I've come to the conclusion that you cannot build the perfect team in a format like this. You have to be weak somewhere. Any advice?
Here's how my draft went at the 9 spot (12 man non-ppr) 1 Kyren Williams 2 King Henry 3 Cooper Kupp 4 Kenneth Walker 5 George Kittle 6 Dak Prescott 7 Terry McLauren 8 Rashee Rice 9 JSN 10 Rome Odunze 11 Blake Corum (handcuff) 12 Matthew Stafford 13 Chuba Hubbard 14 Donovon Peoples-Jones (due to unfortunate timing) 15 Antonio Gibson 16 Ravens D 17 Matt Prater 18 Fred Warner 19 Rashid Shaheed 20 Seahawks D
I pick 12th in a full PPR league. I expect to be drafting two of Taylor, Gibbs or Barclay. There are a lot of good WRs in the rounds that follow. I figure it’s a way to get ahead of the rest of the draft
In my 16 league 3WR/1Flex league at the 1.1 I've hammered double RB a few times with CMC with Jacob's or Walker and just hammered WRs after. Just don't like any of the RBs that come back to me at the 4/5 turn and love the value of WRs in that area
Say u have data if u want, for years I’ve watched ppl fail to make the playoffs over and over using this strategy because their rbs are out scoring the league by ten points every week but their wrs are being outscored by 15+ every week. The point differential at the rb spot isn’t worth it
Just did this tonight In my only money lg 8 spot Barkley and kyren Williams. Ended up getting swift I. The 5th as well after missing Mixon in the fourth by one spot
Double Hero RB... Or as it is more comonly known, the norm for all time. The reason Hero RB makes sense to get it's own name as a strategy is because a given player might feel some pressure to get a mediocre/safe second starter at RB. The strategy tries to help you get a plus starter at another position by intentionally foregoing that mediocre/safe second RB. One hero, and then fill out the team. Double Hero RB seems like it is just saying never intentionally have an RB as a flex. I agree there are more receivers who are worthy of the position, but Mostert and Raschad White were drafted in rounds that are for flexes. If the strategy is to pick the right guys, then that is good advice, but not quite a strategy.
I’m in a keeper league so I usually do the three headed monster strategy. It’s using my keeper on my best RB and then doing the double Hero RB strat. Same idea but I have RB in flex so when one has a bye or gets hurt I just backfill flex with WR3.
Playing in a 12 man 2 flex 3 wr 1 QB 1 TE half ppr, taking Gibbs at 1.10 and then either want pucka,Wilson at the turn but if Wilson and pucka aren’t there, do you think I should in this format take Marvin over Kyren or just take kyren and pair him with Gibbs???? Please help bro
Last years draft… I targeted Kyren Williams in the 10th as in our league any player drafted ends 10-16 you can keep the following year for a 5th.. I have the 4th overall pick and KW (5th) so I’m hoping to get BRob or BHall at 4 for a double rb and then hit WR in 2nd.. in the past I also hit on NChubb in his rookie year as my 10th rnd pick.. in our league the 10th rnd is just as important and exciting as the 1sr
Did a draft earlier today with 2 drafters that drafted 4 RB's in the first 6 rounds, the ADP's were so messed up, I was lucky the I landed Robinson in round 1, but finally had to do a couple picks in the 9th round drafting some RB's 10 ahead of ADP just so I could get some legit RB 2's. Multiple RB's were drafted more than 20 ahead of adp
On my home 12 man league had 4th pick got Bijan 4th pick Etienne 21st pick Walker lll 52nd pick Spears 117 pick Corum last 165 pick Receivers are Kupp Higgins Ridley Godwin Thomas jr
I'm so torn on what I am going to do this season in my 12 team PPR league. I have the 1.1, and I am almost certainly going CeeDee or Tyreek. My issue is what to do at the 2 3 turn. Right now I am looking at Waddle, Pacheco, Achane, Etienne, and Nico. I want to def go one of the RBs , just not sure who that second person will be. I'm even considering going Hurts at that spot. Super tough decisions.
I have the same thoughts. I’m a Jets fan though so trying to take bias out of it, but he’s going to be a check down god on top of his elite rushing value..
I tend to side with rbs early due to sheer numbers. The league is full of great receivers, is becoming more and more pass heavy and keeps making it harder to defend. There's a short list of impactful, bell cow rbs these days and typically their handcuffs will produce just as much as rbs drafted later should they go down with an injury.
I'm in a half ppr league and already know I'm picking at the 1.11. I'm strongly considering double hero RB and going Gibbs and either Kyren or Achane.. of course I thought double hero RB would be optimal where I was picking last year and ended up going zero RB in that league. Like you said just gotta stay like water and let the board fall to you 😂
Who are you targeting with this strategy if you're picking towards the end of round 1? Full pt ppr, my 1st pick will fall between 8-11. I'm thinking Gibbs round 1, then kyren or achane round 2?
Last year had so many good WR’s in the 2nd round but this year it’s a lot more questionable. If I do go RB in the 1st I like the 2nd round RB’s a lot more and am willing to go double RB which I normally am against.
1.09 in 10 man PPR. I'm doing AJ Brown, Gibbs, then going Hurts/Allen, then reaching a smidge for Kupp. I want Godwin and Kincaid. Either stacking AJ/Hurts or Allen/Kincaid. I'm going to win this year.
@@KevinBeary DJ and Kupp are the two I can’t decide between. DK has never had a big season and certainly won’t this year. I’m drafting Kupp or DJ with top 10 upside
@PawpiChoolo in standard or 1/2 ppr... other than kupps stud year ... (i had kupp that year) ... check their stats. 27 yr old Dk has more yds and TDs and is still in monster shape and the main target ... Nakua is gonna steal targets and can we really count on kupps injury history improving at 31 ? But tough choices... case for all. Good luck this year
Great video. I will definitely consider this strategy. I think I would have taken Jaylen Warren and Jerome Ford instead of JSN and Curtis Samuel. I like the idea of having a couple more high upside rbs on my bench vs wrs.
Great stuff! I’m in a 2 keeper, 1/2 PPR, 3 WR/1 flex league & have Saquon, Kyren & Drake. Thoughts are to keep my RB’s and draft 3 WR’s & QB @ 36/37, 60/61. Thoughts?
would you have taken Jonathon Taylor to pair with gibbs if he was there over Kyren Williams? I have the 12th pick in my league and Im considering starting rb with both picks. Trying to weigh all my potential options at that spot. The only way I dont go double rb is if garrett wilson somehow falls to me but I dont expect that to happen. Full point PPR.
WRs still more valuable, but if Bijan/Breece falls to you in the 1st, then JT/Gibbs in the 2nd, then take the value where it falls. In 3WR formats, Zero RBs can be viable but just understand the value falling and start identifying the patterns/strategies your league mates may be drafting with so you can adjust
I have a unique situation this year… I am in a 10 team full PPR league. This is the first year we allowed draft pick trading and for better or for worse at this point I sent #19 and 22 overall for the first overall pick. So I know have both 1 and 2 but then don’t draft again until round 4. Should I start with CMC and Breece? Or get one RB and CD/Hill? I’m debating on what the best strategy is. In mocks there are still some really good receivers near my 4/5 turn and I should be able to get two of DJ Moore, Waddle, Kupp and Deebo based on ADP on ESPN right now. I’m really leaning CMC/Breece/Bijan as my top two picks because I think I will have a massive advantage at RB. But what do you all think?
Going to play devil's advocate... The biggest problem with this strategy is that your "you couldn't have dreamed of building an elite Rb team" mindset is that it's offset by the fact running backs have perpetually made less points per player with split back fields being much more common. Running backs don't have as much value as they did 10 years ago unless you get lucky with a Mostart-like performance like last year. In that case it's more about value and picking somebody late in the draft that ends up being producing rb1 numbers.
Do you think you would follow this order from the 4th pick in a half ppr 12 man high stakes redraft? I have been heavily thinking about taking breece first and going this route over Chase. Would love to know your opinion.
If you’re a league mate of mine, you can go ahead and leave a like, then politely kick rocks. Ron’s data is all mine.
Shove it pal, I’ll watch as much as I’d like

You need atleast 3 top RBs to factor injuries, not 2. It’s easier to find a consistent WR later in the draft or waiver than RB
You really don't. As long as the rest of your team is strong you can find guys late or on waivers to plug holes.
It’s more difficult to find RB plugs off the waiver than WR. That’s why I personally like a robust RB strategy.

Say u have data if u want, for years I’ve watched ppl fail to make the playoffs over and over using this strategy because their rbs are out scoring the league by ten points every week but their wrs are being outscored by 15+ every week. The point differential at the rb spot isn’t worth it
12 man league 6th pick full PPR
My first 5 went:
Breece Hall
Etienne
DK
Lam Jack
Rhamondre Stevenson
Did it last year, won my league
Just did this tonight In my only money lg 8 spot Barkley and kyren Williams. Ended up getting swift I. The 5th as well after missing Mixon in the fourth by one spot
Double Hero RB... Or as it is more comonly known, the norm for all time. The reason Hero RB makes sense to get it's own name as a strategy is because a given player might feel some pressure to get a mediocre/safe second starter at RB. The strategy tries to help you get a plus starter at another position by intentionally foregoing that mediocre/safe second RB. One hero, and then fill out the team. Double Hero RB seems like it is just saying never intentionally have an RB as a flex. I agree there are more receivers who are worthy of the position, but Mostert and Raschad White were drafted in rounds that are for flexes. If the strategy is to pick the right guys, then that is good advice, but not quite a strategy.
So Nabers that early is a mistake imo. Harmon had a guy on that went back to 2013 and zero WRs taken in first round has ever finished WR1.
I’m in a keeper league so I usually do the three headed monster strategy. It’s using my keeper on my best RB and then doing the double Hero RB strat. Same idea but I have RB in flex so when one has a bye or gets hurt I just backfill flex with WR3.
Flexing a WR is so 2021... OP in 2024 is race to 3RB as fast as possible. Fill th eflex by round 3 with RB
Why? The wr position scores so many more points than rbs
Running back gets hurt has to put in Curtis Samuel at the flex rest of season* 😂 lmao nah bro
14 man FULL ppr league pick 4, hella money league, who should we be taking rounds 1,2,3
1 QB
2 RBs
2 WRs
1 TE
1 Flex
1 Kicker
1 defense
@RonStewartGiveaway confused what this mean
All my leagues went super flex style last few years. Throws all this out the window
Personally I prefer taking a WR over Achane, Mostert late with Jaylen Wright as a handcuff
Jaylen Wright will probably turn that backfield into a full blown committee.
@@slickrick8046 McDaniel did already say that he's just gonna play whoever's hot
@@steve8211
Miami also traded a 3rd round draft pick to get him. Jaylen is also the biggest back of the 3.
Don't think the waiver pickups will be as gangbuster this year. Lot of low end wide receivers to draft this year with good upside for flex spots.
Playing in a 12 man 2 flex 3 wr 1 QB 1 TE half ppr, taking Gibbs at 1.10 and then either want pucka,Wilson at the turn but if Wilson and pucka aren’t there, do you think I should in this format take Marvin over Kyren or just take kyren and pair him with Gibbs???? Please help bro
Not gonna lie. Hate this mock team you just drafted. WR room blows.
Last years draft… I targeted Kyren Williams in the 10th as in our league any player drafted ends 10-16 you can keep the following year for a 5th.. I have the 4th overall pick and KW (5th) so I’m hoping to get BRob or BHall at 4 for a double rb and then hit WR in 2nd.. in the past I also hit on NChubb in his rookie year as my 10th rnd pick.. in our league the 10th rnd is just as important and exciting as the 1sr
Fair strategy, but I would never do it in PPR.
No reaching in rounds 2-3
I went bijan and achane first 2 rounds as the 5th man in a 12 man league. Fingers crossed
Just started at pick 11. Went Gibbs & Kyren. Got Drake London and Nico in 3/4…. League mates sold 🤫
I went Bijan and JT then Drake London and got Mike Evans later.
That's nutty
@PhillyFinesse I did similar in a dynasty startup. Took burrow Bijan jt, then devonta Smith dk and davante adams later since dynasty. Solid imo
@@PhillyFinesse noob league haha
@spaddelful nah it's not. it's a Superflex dynasty. QBs go early, I went Double Hero RB instead so I was able to get these.
I disagree, take 1 in round 2 and stay away until round 7
Did a draft earlier today with 2 drafters that drafted 4 RB's in the first 6 rounds, the ADP's were so messed up, I was lucky the I landed Robinson in round 1, but finally had to do a couple picks in the 9th round drafting some RB's 10 ahead of ADP just so I could get some legit RB 2's. Multiple RB's were drafted more than 20 ahead of adp
Hopefully you loaded up on value everywhere else.
@RonStewartGiveaway Awww, I was excited for a second, but you are just a scam. Booooo! You are a bad person.
On my home 12 man league had 4th pick got
Bijan 4th pick
Etienne 21st pick
Walker lll 52nd pick
Spears 117 pick
Corum last 165 pick
Receivers are
Kupp Higgins Ridley Godwin Thomas jr
who’s the better pick kyren or aj brown? with already having gibbs on the roster
AJB for sure
I'm so torn on what I am going to do this season in my 12 team PPR league. I have the 1.1, and I am almost certainly going CeeDee or Tyreek. My issue is what to do at the 2 3 turn. Right now I am looking at Waddle, Pacheco, Achane, Etienne, and Nico. I want to def go one of the RBs , just not sure who that second person will be. I'm even considering going Hurts at that spot. Super tough decisions.
In a 12 man ppr start 7 is it crazy to take breece at 1.02 because I just feel like there is better wr value and breece I feel can pop off this year
I have the same thoughts. I’m a Jets fan though so trying to take bias out of it, but he’s going to be a check down god on top of his elite rushing value..
I tend to side with rbs early due to sheer numbers. The league is full of great receivers, is becoming more and more pass heavy and keeps making it harder to defend. There's a short list of impactful, bell cow rbs these days and typically their handcuffs will produce just as much as rbs drafted later should they go down with an injury.
I'm in a half ppr league and already know I'm picking at the 1.11. I'm strongly considering double hero RB and going Gibbs and either Kyren or Achane.. of course I thought double hero RB would be optimal where I was picking last year and ended up going zero RB in that league. Like you said just gotta stay like water and let the board fall to you 😂
Who are you targeting with this strategy if you're picking towards the end of round 1? Full pt ppr, my 1st pick will fall between 8-11. I'm thinking Gibbs round 1, then kyren or achane round 2?
I've won my $100 league the last two years using this strategy!
I drafted Bijan and Saquan last year. Finished 12th. 😢
Love Kupp, Nabers, Higgins in the 3rd and 4th with double hero rb
Last year had so many good WR’s in the 2nd round but this year it’s a lot more questionable. If I do go RB in the 1st I like the 2nd round RB’s a lot more and am willing to go double RB which I normally am against.
What RB would you pair with Gibbs at the 1-2 turn in a 10 man?
JT
Saquon or Jt, no doubt draft david Montgomery later though
Kyren or Henry
If it’s a redraft league…fade Gibbs and draft Kyren & Henry.
Only league I've ever won was full PPR 3-WR and took Eckler and then Saquon two years ago.
Hey Ron, I know you say not to go into a draft expecting to execute a specific strategy. But is this strategy almost a must in a non-PPR league?
Take a gamble on Jordan Whittington or Jacob Cowing??
1.09 in 10 man PPR. I'm doing AJ Brown, Gibbs, then going Hurts/Allen, then reaching a smidge for Kupp. I want Godwin and Kincaid. Either stacking AJ/Hurts or Allen/Kincaid. I'm going to win this year.
I like dj and Metcalf by A Lot over Kupp. Imo
@@KevinBeary DJ and Kupp are the two I can’t decide between. DK has never had a big season and certainly won’t this year. I’m drafting Kupp or DJ with top 10 upside
@PawpiChoolo in standard or 1/2 ppr... other than kupps stud year ... (i had kupp that year) ... check their stats. 27 yr old Dk has more yds and TDs and is still in monster shape and the main target ... Nakua is gonna steal targets and can we really count on kupps injury history improving at 31 ?
But tough choices... case for all. Good luck this year
Great video. I will definitely consider this strategy. I think I would have taken Jaylen Warren and Jerome Ford instead of JSN and Curtis Samuel. I like the idea of having a couple more high upside rbs on my bench vs wrs.
I was mowing the lawn while listening so not sure if you touched on it but in a 3wr,2rb and 1flx do you still recommend the double RB strategy?
I’m wondering the same thing. I have the 6th pick in a 12 team full ppr league that has 3wr 2 rb and 1 flex. Trying to gameplan.
during the underdog segment he went more into depth of what you should be doing
Respectfully that team you put up their looked trash
13th pick in 14 team full ppr.. im going best available round 1.. best rb/wr round 2... then thatll set my strategy for the rest of the draft
Great stuff! I’m in a 2 keeper, 1/2 PPR, 3 WR/1 flex league & have Saquon, Kyren & Drake. Thoughts are to keep my RB’s and draft 3 WR’s & QB @ 36/37, 60/61. Thoughts?
would you have taken Jonathon Taylor to pair with gibbs if he was there over Kyren Williams?
I have the 12th pick in my league and Im considering starting rb with both picks. Trying to weigh all my potential options at that spot. The only way I dont go double rb is if garrett wilson somehow falls to me but I dont expect that to happen.
Full point PPR.
For the charts, why change espn to blue and sleeper to red? Like what purpose does that serve to change from their brand identify for no reason?
This kind of reminds me of 2016 when everyone was going 0 RB to the extreme
I got the 1.01 with breece in the 2nd and James cook 7th as my keepers. Would you do double hero w cmc or ceedee/tyreek first?
Why not handcuff mostert and achane instead of picking Murray? I feel thats better in a 2 RB hero. Then you have a guarantee back plan.
If your first rounder goes down you’re f***ed, and we don’t prepare for f***ed
@RonStewartGiveaway yes!!!! What do I win?
Would you use this strategy on a lineup where you start 3 WR and 1 FLX?
If its what the draft gives you
WRs still more valuable, but if Bijan/Breece falls to you in the 1st, then JT/Gibbs in the 2nd, then take the value where it falls.
In 3WR formats, Zero RBs can be viable but just understand the value falling and start identifying the patterns/strategies your league mates may be drafting with so you can adjust
I have a unique situation this year… I am in a 10 team full PPR league. This is the first year we allowed draft pick trading and for better or for worse at this point I sent #19 and 22 overall for the first overall pick. So I know have both 1 and 2 but then don’t draft again until round 4. Should I start with CMC and Breece? Or get one RB and CD/Hill? I’m debating on what the best strategy is. In mocks there are still some really good receivers near my 4/5 turn and I should be able to get two of DJ Moore, Waddle, Kupp and Deebo based on ADP on ESPN right now. I’m really leaning CMC/Breece/Bijan as my top two picks because I think I will have a massive advantage at RB. But what do you all think?
Would you use double hero RB for PPR too? I’ve done it before it still was successful but it wasn’t as good at taking 2 top WRs and then smashing RBs.
I had Nick Chubb, Saquon Barkley, and Dameon Pierce last year. I am never drafting RBs high again. They are too injury prone
Solid strategy. Still leaves room to be somewhat value based💪
Going to play devil's advocate... The biggest problem with this strategy is that your "you couldn't have dreamed of building an elite Rb team" mindset is that it's offset by the fact running backs have perpetually made less points per player with split back fields being much more common. Running backs don't have as much value as they did 10 years ago unless you get lucky with a Mostart-like performance like last year. In that case it's more about value and picking somebody late in the draft that ends up being producing rb1 numbers.
Do you think you would follow this order from the 4th pick in a half ppr 12 man high stakes redraft? I have been heavily thinking about taking breece first and going this route over Chase. Would love to know your opinion.
Who do you think is a better pick, Breece or Chase?
How do you feel about double hero rb strategy with double hero rb flex, picking first 4 rbs in first 5/6 rounds?
🎉 Sweet 🎉
