I briefly read some of the posts on the zero RB strategy and then read your preference to having at least 1 Stud RB and then get the WRs after the RB. I am in a Std.1,2,2,1,1,1 $200 keeper salary cap league. I have pondered the advantage of having a low end RB 1 VS a top 3 RB 1. I have to ask myself if the auction dollars I gain but dropping to E. Lacy VS keeping D. Johnson can be put to use to get more value in the QB 1, RB 2 or a TE1. Having both A. Brown and O. Beckham Jr, with D. Johnson leaves me $29 to spend on the other twelve players for a complete roster. Having the Three Amigos should give me a nuclear core to generate a high level of points on a weekly basis except for the bye week of both my #1 WR. The exact same thing happened last year and I think it's a conspiracy by the NFL schedulers who play in FFLs. The question I have is where is there more value, a top 8 QB {Eli Manning} a Top 8 TE {C. Fleener} or the best available RB2 if the rest of the capital resources end up being $1-$3 players at the end of the auction. One can figure $1 for the K and D with another $1 for the second K/D bye week replacement and I want to keep K. Cousins so now only $25 to work with. Thoughts gentlemen?
That's a tough question... I want to say QB but may side RB2. We have weekly columns on streaming the QB and TE position so there are usually options there as long as you're a 10 or 12 team league. Cousins is a nice lower end QB1 and I've seen reports they are going to have to throw a lot again this year so things seems to set up nicely for your team and RB2 is probably a spot to attack.
