ADVICE

Draft For Available Value, Not Dogma

  • Draft based on roster construction rather than rigid position rules; take the top player you want at your pick.
  • If you want Ashton Gentry (or any top target), grab him because he likely won't return to you later.
INSIGHT

Receivers Offer Safer Early Floors

  • Wide receivers often have steadier weekly floors than running backs, making them safer in early picks.
  • Running backs can be found later as mid-season or injury replacements, so receiver-first is frequently preferable.
ADVICE

If You Play Zero-RB, Scout Mid-Round Upside

  • Zero-RB can work but requires targeting mid/late-round running backs who will emerge.
  • Fill your roster with multiple upside RB dart throws and be ready to start them the weeks they shine.
