Zero WR vs Zero RB strategy which one will work better for this year in PPR? Looking to employ one Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Dude. You cant walk into the draft room knowing you will go Zero RB or WR. The draft flow will dictate what your strategy is. It always depend on who is there and who might be there on your next pick. If you are dropping tiers between picks on RB, and would stay in the same tier on WR, grab the RBs. And visa versa.
I think it's good to think about these scenarios just in case. What if you end up with 2 WRs by the time the 3rd round hits. Are you ok w/ Fournette or Mack as your RB1?
That is what I mean. Know who might be available, can determine who your pick that round is.
leaning zero rb outside the Big 5
in redraft
remember how Chubb became a baller last year or Alvin Kamara the year before.
its much easier to find an RB1 mid season than to find a stud WR midseason
Exactly what I was thinking in terms of top 5 if I have top 5 I’m going back but after that I would love to go back to back wideout
its been working well for me in mocks
But like everyone else said it’s kinda a pick oriented thing I just like hearing opinion but I agree 100%
In my 12 team startup dynasty, I had the 1.7, 1.8, and 2.3 and had the mindset to go RB-RB-RB with my first three picks. When all the RBs went early, I ended up taking DHops, D. Adams, and JuJu with my three picks. Oh well, my strategy went out the window. Now will have a more difficult time picking RBs.
Who are your current backs? @sactoboy
@Saquonhypetrain we are currently at pick 3.2, my next pick is at 3.7, so no RBs for me yet. Not sure if I should take a RB with my next pick or take Kittle/Ertz if one falls to me. I wanted to take Mixon with my 1.7 but he was taken at 1.5 so I just zagged while everyone boarded RBs
I feel but that’s a great groups of wideouts
If you’re in a PPR you can always focus on pass catching backs as well@
True, I wanted other teams to fear my three RB monster lineup, but I don't think other teams would be as intimidated with three monster WRs. It was the oddest draft where only my two WRs were taken on 1st round. I guess in this league, folks love and value RBs more
None loser
Draft a balanced team
If you are picking at the bottom of the first round, zero RB is a good strategy. Especially in 10 team leagues. I see more quality casing RBs out of the top 10 than WRs. Imo and the 2 cents it's worth.
That’s what I was thinking mainly towards the back end of the first for zero Rb
I always talk about it but come draft time I go with what works best
Because sometimes guys can fall and you have to adjust on the fly
If I were picking in top of the round I would have to pick an RB1 first, then pick 2 WR
It starts to get tricky around the 5-6 pick
