Hello, I have the #2, #20, & #24 pick in a 14 team standard league (6 points passing TDs). I am torn between two strategies (below) right now and needed some advice on which might be the better option to pursue. Much appreciated.
Strategy 1
#2 Todd Gurley, Ezekiell Elliott, or Leveon Bell
#20 Dalvin Cook, Devonta Freeman, or Jordan Howard
#24 Joe Mixon, or Jerrick Mckinnon
My thinking is my RB's would be the strongest in the league. I can pick up Drew Brees or Cam Newton in the 5th (#61) and fish for decent value sleeper Wrs (Stills, Cobb etc.) later since it's not ppr.
Strategy 2
Trade back to #5-#8 range and pick up third round pick (#36-#40 range)
#5-#8 Antonio Brown, or Deandre Hopkins
#20 Dalvin Cook, Devonta Freeman, or Jordan Howard
#24 Joe Mixon, or Jerrick Mckinnon
#36-#40 Jay Ajayi, or Alex Collins
My thinking here is that I have a top 5 WR and Good enough group of RBs to compete every week. I can pick up a Drew Brees, Cam Newton, or Matt Ryan later and a compliment WR (Stills, Cobb, etc.)
If you can pick up an extra third round pick, then I think I think I like Strategy 2 the best. While I hate to lose out on one of the top three backs, I love having Antonio Brown and the third round value is so strong in redraft leagues, that I think it's worth it.
