I started writing this a couple weeks ago:
In response to another thread, and given that I am looking at this spot for my August draft, I figured I would start a thread with the possibilities for the #4 spot in a PPR 12 team redraft league.
After mocking for a few weeks, reading what seems like a ton of FBG information and articles, I am starting to hash out a strategy and come up with ideas for this spot. As someone noted, the fourth spot isn't bad (might be ideal, actually?) and holds great promise. I anticipate that one of the big four will remain, either MJD or Rice. The more I mock, the more I become convinced that it will be Rice that falls into the 4th spot. When the draft snakes back around, I am looking for the best remaining WR in the second round. The five WRs that I have seen most are Marshall, White, Austin, Jennings, Colston. Of course, Sidney Rice and De. Jackson are generally there as well. I have waffled a bit on this, and still do, but most often select either Brandon Marshall or White. Austin would then be next, with Jennings and Colston the goal for the next, 3rd round. Of course, these vary, and White and Marshall are the most likely to disappear before I even pick in the second.
I have, at this point, gone with RB-WR-WR for the first three rounds:
Rice (or whomever is left from the big 4; my league always has curveballs)
White/Marshall (beginning to think these guys might not even be there, and DeAngelo might be)
Jennings/Colston (Colston more likely here, especially in PPR)
In the fourth round I have most often been able to pick from the elite TEs, Jahvid Best, Stewart, Forte, both Steve Smiths, et al. I have been, over the last few days become more enamored with J. Best despite the health concerns. Stewart, to me, is a great lottery ticket, and tempting, as is Gates.
