yeah, it's possible this will be a popular concept and if a quarter or half the teams in your league follow it, it will skew things. I don't want to go against protocol, but we've done a number of mock drafts here at the site and in the two I've done, I went with Bell in one (picked 4th) and David Johnson in the other (picked 11th). Me doing a zero RB strategy is going to be difficult. I've been playing fantasy football since the 90s and it's hard to break the RB-RB formula.

I will say, doing these mocks there were some nice options at RB in that 4th-7th range from what I remember, so the strategy really does make sense. In your case, since you have Brown pretty much locked in, I would have no issue with you grabbing a stud RB1 who may fall because everyone is using the same strategy. But it has to be the right guy. It's hard for me to tell you when to go another direction, but since you're already planning things out in July, my gut tells me you'll just know when the time comes (I don't mean for this to sound Jedi Knight-ish) but I think it will become obvious in your draft where you can't ignore taking a very good RB that no one seems to want.

A similar thing happened with QBs in these mocks we did. When you have every person following the same guidelines, the 5th and 6ths come around and no QBs are off the board yet and both times I just had to take one. But the point is you just kind of know when changing direction and not resisting value is the right move.
