Thank You for Your Time

Answer 1

Your in a very basic league....my advice is to get 3 rbs by the end of 5th round.

Last year of the top point getters, 6 were QBs, 4 were running backs, and 2 were receivers.  The next 12 point producers were 4 QB, 2 rb, and 6 wr.

As you can see, RBs are not necessarily who wins your league.  If the draft goes as normal.  In the first round you can select one of the top two QBs or WR if you choose to.

As the NFL has been more productive passing, so have the other positions.  Your draft will also have a cheat sheet to help you along.

If you want to try another league, I have a live draft on Thursday the 7th, called 1265 Lombardi Ave.   Join if you would like, I have openings.  Live draft, head to head, published league, 12 team.
