Team Draft Strategy: Hero RB vs. Heavier RB (PPR) (1 Viewer)

[kyoun1e]

I'm usually a hero RB guy, but the availability of RB talent in round 2 at the 2.10 slot has me tempted to go RB-RB even in PPR. The sacrifice: WR depth looks a little thinner.

I'm taking one of CMS, B. Hall, or B. Robinson at 1.03. That I know. I'm also waiting a bit on both QB and TE and will most likely miss the Big 5 QBs and top TEs, but love my targets at the round 6/7 turn.

Anyway, looking at Team A and Team B below, which build would you prefer in a 12 team PPR league? I've done a ton of mocks and this is what lands on average:

TEAM A (Hero RB)

* QB: K. Murray (round 6)
* RB: B. Hall (round 1), J. Conner (round 5), J. Ford (round 9)
* WR: N. Collins (round 2), C. Kupp (round 3), J. Waddle (round 4...crazy but ESPN has him at #45 overall), B. Thomas (round 8)
* TE: D. Njoku (round 7)

TEAM B (Heavy RB)

* QB: K. Murray (round 6)
* RB: B. Hall (round 1), D. Henry (round 2) OR J. Jacobs (round 3), J. Ford (round 9)
* WR: N. Collins (round 2), J. Waddle (round 4l), A. Cooper (round 5...ranked #67 in ESPN), B. Thomas (round 8)

The big difference is swapping Conner for either Henry or Jacobs at RB...which would be an upgrade at the position, but taking a step down potentially from Kupp's ceiling to A. Cooper who could be more volatile.

Anyways, if either play out this way I'd be happy with either, but I keep running into the decision to pass or take D. Henry or take either J. Jacobs or C. Kupp in the third.

Thanks in advance.

Stay loose. BPA.

Good to have a plan. Also good to be as flexible as possible and pivot when the draft warrants it.

Let the draft come to you. Any sort of rigidity can cause you to miss, or even worse, deliberately pass up value.

Best advice I’ve got on this one.

This team would look a lot better like this

QB - Love/Dak/Burrow/Stroud 7
RB - Henry or Jacobs 2/3, Conner 5, Ford 9
WR - CD/Hill 1, Kupp or Collins 2/3, Waddle 4
TE - Pitts 6

Getting one of CMC, Bijan or Hall is just too hard for me to pass up.

I hear ya.

There are multiple scenarios that I'm comfortable with like QB and/or TE earlier, etc. I'm prepared to go multiple ways.

That said, these are the two paths that seem to come up repeatedly AND they allow me to bulk up on both RBs and WRs earlier while not sacrificing that much at QB and TE (as I'm a big fan of Murray this year...or Love or Daniels there as well as the tier of TE that is NJoku and Fergasun).

If the gods of fantasy are kind come draft night, the decisions will be made for me.

I hear that and I thought I thought the same way but, on Saturday, when I was on the clock looking at CeeDee, Bijan, Breece and Lamar (superflex so J.Allen, Mahomes, CMC, Hurts & Tyreek were the top 5 picks) I did the "smart" thing and took CeeDee.

It's the right move, IMO.

Crap.

I'm now considering this at the last moment.

Why is it you think this is the "right move?"

I must say, Nico or Kupp as a #2 WR behind Lamb with the possibility of Waddle as a #3 is quite attractive.

Two weeks ago, wouldn't have considered it, but now with Henry dropping and Jacobs stock rising both could act as my hero RB.

 

[Soulfly3]

if I was in your league, I doubt Henry would get back to you in the 2nd rnd...

havent heard anything about his "falling", tho maybe he is... but i expect monster numbers from him, esp in the TD dept

Hmmm. Starting to warm up to this.

Would prefer CD at 1.03 though over Hill. Waddle keeps dropping to the fourth. Not sure I want both T. Hill and Waddle.

Henry is there I'd say 20% of the time. Not likely, but it happens.

Jacobs steadily moving up despite being ranked 39 overall in ESPN. Usually there at 2.10, but not at 3.03.

I hate chasing career years, and CeeDee arguably just had one. But, I don't think there is a WR with a safer target share in the league. Not even JJ.

He has a very good QB and almost zero competition for targets and plays in a very high scoring offense (1st, 4th, 1st over the last three years).

I hate the holdout, particularly as he was not with the team at any point since 2023 season ended. I'm expecting a slow start but his potential is proven and I don't think many would be talking about Breece or Bijan if not for the holdout.

To me it was the right move, YMMV.

Would you still go WR at 1.03 if CD is gone leaving you with T. Hill?

Probably but I'm more bearish on Hill than most. I let his age concern me and I do have concerns about Tua and his overall health.

I know it seems a little contradictory to be okay with Dak considering he's been knocked out of a couple seasons, but his injury seem a little more fluky to me. To me, Tua just looks like the poster boy for the concussion protocol. That's probably an unfair assessment and I'm blowing it up in my head probably more than it deserves but it's definitely there.

All that being said, all I can say is I'm glad I didn't have to make that decision. My gut tells me I would have landed on Tyreek but I can't say that for a certainty.

 

[BassNBrew]

Odds of a RB like Jacobs/Henry matching Hall/Bijan - maybe 1 in 3.
Odds of a WR like Kupp/Nico matching CD/Hill - only if the later gets injured.

Good way to think about it.

If you see the odds of your 2/3 round hero matching Hall/Bijan being almost non-existent then fire away with one of them. I think you're getting push back because many of us have that 2/3 round RB that we think is a steal. I haven't heard a single person make a case for Kupp/Collins pushing CD/Hill for the top slot because the other strong WRs on their teams.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

Yeah, I'm starting to lean hard towards this way of thinking...CD or Hill at 1.03.

My WR corp just looks silly good starting with a WR. I'm seeing either Waddle or D. Smith falling as a #3 WR in the fourth too.

Somebody may snipe Jacobs in round 2 the way his ADP is skyrocketing, but if that's the case, maybe Henry falls to me or I decide to take a shot down the field with Achane.

I guess another factor here: I am a hawk when it comes to RBs. I have a lot of confidence I'll hit on the lotto ticket RBs or be able to grow a RB via the waiver wire.

 

[Gally]

In a 10 team league (granted starting from position 8). I was able to do this and I like it a lot:

1. Jefferson
2. Wilson
3. Collins
4. Kupp
5. Walker
6. Pitts
7. Aaron Jones
8. Kyler
9. Mostert
10. Daniels
11. Pollard
12. Jamo Williams
13. Hock
14. Hollywood
15. Dowdle
16. Def
17. K

I like the RB's slipping to the 4-7th rounds so I have no issue going strong WR to start.
