2020 Fantasy Football Advice: Early Round Draft Strategy - Must Own or Avoid Running backs

[@Eramirez209]

I really appreciate you putting the name of the player your are talking about in the top right of the video. Thanks!

[@ThaoLand]

Seriously... The little things

[@thetylat]

Right. And if you're daydreaming or get distracted, this is really beneficial.

[@eric4946]

Insanely useful for such a small thing

[@GO-pe2cp]

Great informative videos with no small talk as filler content. 👌

[@Mongoose147]

I’m in a 14 man full PPR league. Drafted yesterday went.. Jacobs, kittle, Taylor, bell pretty happy

[@JPV1992]

I do like the idea of damien Harris being the head back but my issue with him is that rex burkhead, james white, and sony Michel is still there. I probably still draft him late I just worry about his upside.

[@kyletowne9798]

I would love to see you do a draft strategy video for each draft position. You can talk about general draft strategy but say I'm drafting 2nd in a 14 team league, my strategy will be much different since I typically don't see any of the "great" RBs make it back to me in mock drafts.

[@ameeryoussef]

Can you explain your DST rankings at some point? Some of them differ so much than a lot of other rankings, I'd be interested in hearing your thinking.

[@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA]

Heavily weighted towards early season schedule

[@ameeryoussef]

@@FantasyFootballAdviceFFA Awesome, thanks guys.

[@AndrewHeidornVlogs]

Love these videos, Nick! I may be the only one, but I think you’d benefit from angling your camera a bit so you are looking eye-to-eye at it. A minor criticism, but I think it would just be a better angle of your face (:

Thoughts on my 12 man full ppr team QB: LJ Rb: Zeke Rb: Todd gurley Wr: Godwin Wr: kupp Te: Tyler higbee Def: Patriots Kicker: Butker

[@thefantasyfootballgoat2236]

Solid team, zeke godwin and Lamar is a great start, not huge on higbee or kupp but kupp definitely could do well this year so it comes down to him in my opinion

[@hiddenpotentialproject806]

Good team. Kupp is gonna get more targets, as will Higbee. Your team might actually be really good. Not sold on pats D, since half their team opted out.

[@joedumontier5238]

Wouldn't have drafted pats d and I'm staying away from Gurley at all cost

[@Goodboxingbadboxing]

Solid team ! I would have targeted Hurst/Jonnu at TE and my thinking is R.Woods was available when you took Kupp - I’m leaning heavy on Woods .

[@dustyna1948]

@@Goodboxingbadboxing I think woods went like 38 and I got kupp 51

[@trillynelson.]

Take this from a patriots fan.. I would avoid their backfield at all costs even if they do run the ball that week you just never know whose getting the touches

[@NashHenryASMR]

I am not a patriots fan but I would avoid their running backs also.

[@trillynelson.]

With this being said I drafted Damien Harris in my draft tonight lmfao 🤦‍♂️

[@joedemelfie5509]

I wouldn't also avoid betting on them as well to succeed. You guys had a great run. Congrads. It's chiefs or bust now.

Hamstring issues indicate strength/training imbalances and therefore. Stay away from rb with hamstring issues.

[@ryanfredell9546]

[@thedudeoflegend]

10 team .5 ppr should I trade Allen Robinson and joe Mixon for tyreek hill and Austin ekeler? I currently have Dalvin cook as rb1 and mike Evans as wr1

[@speediskey2150]

No, mixon has a high ceiling and room for improvement and Robinson is all the bears have at WR really. Ekeler doesn’t seem like a workhorse this year and hill is always dealing with injuries and is inconsistent, just my opinion though

[@andrewm3980]

I like Saquon and golladay, if Evans is somehow still there I’d go w him, but I would take a good amount of receivers over Odell at that point. Then if u go TE next round I would definitely go Andrews over ertz. Ty is risky tho.

[@jarrettsherry3072]

in a 12 team PPR league that uses 3 WRs and 1 flex do you have any issue with going RB WR RB WR in the first 4 picks? You generally end up with a top 5-6 ranked RB, top 3-6 ranked WR, then a 15-20 ranked RB, and then a 15-20 WR? When I go RB RB WR WR I feel I lose out really badly on the WR group, It just feels very week. Your best receiver is barely a top 20 pick as your #1.

[@deemoney450]

My RBs are Zeke, MIXON, D. Johnson, Montgomery, Hunt, A. Madison, T. Pollard. My WRs are Golladay, DJ, Moore, A. Robinson, Edleman, Gallup, Dionte Johnson. Should I drop T. Pollard for Jalen Raegor???

Hey I'm looking for public feedback, I'm in a 10 man ppr I'm picking 4th so ill get a premium rb in my first pick... prolly kamara.

Draft question: I have the 6th pick in a half ppr league. If I have the choice of Thomas, CEH, Miles Sanders who would you take? And if cook isn’t drafted should I take him over all those guys with cook’s risks?

I’m staying away from Cook. I’m sold on going heavy on RB so that said - based on your options Sanders (keep updated with his “minor” injury)

Should I still target 2 Rbs early if I am doing if my league has an extra flex spot and its PPR?

[@thefantasyfootballgoat2236]

It’s always good to get 2 good RBs

[@johnapple2922]

@@thefantasyfootballgoat2236 My only concern is that in PPR second/third/fourth tier WRs tend to get more points than RB of the same draft position

[@thefantasyfootballgoat2236]

john apple yeah but there aren’t as many good RBs late or in middle rounds of the draft. WRs you can still get good ones late there are more of them. So I always personally like to get 2 RBs in the first 3 rounds.

[@benmyers2349]

3rd pick I am leaning on taking Kamara over Barkley. Due to strength of schedule. Saints have a top 3 easiest schedule for rushing defenses. Barkley has one of the Hardest schedules for the year. Who would you take? I know McCaffrey and Zeke are going 1 and 2.

[@erichaywood2369]

How early is too early for Jonathan Taylor. In yahoo mocks he goes late 3rd early 4th. And I have the 3rd overall pick in a 12 team league. The only way I can get him is by making him my RB3 at the top of the 3rd.

Thoughts on JK Dobbins? Been killing it in camp both as a runner and receiver.

[@thefantasyfootballgoat2236]

I like JK but hard to believe he will get more carries then Mark Ingram so I haven’t been targeting any of them

[@KickInTheDoor36]

The Fantasy Football GOAT probably not unless Ingram gets hurt but are we gonna sit here and say that his talent can’t overcome Edwards/Hill, especially considering neither has really shown bonafide pass catching ability? Hill is more of a speed guy, so people naturally gravitate towards that but JK can catch a run, making the D play more honestly if he’s in the game to spell Ingram. IMO

[@thefantasyfootballgoat2236]

KickInTheDoor36 I think he and Ingram are going to both get carries this year. I just don’t know if any of them will really dominate over the other one. JK is a great player to get though because if Ingram gets hurt JK will probably be really really good so I like where he’s going but it’s hard to pick someone depending on the other getting hurt. I like JK though

[@mjdn5305]

J.Jacobs or k.Drake?

[@nickdreezy2457]

If you already have a safe back then I’d go drake. I think Drake has more league winning upside. Drake was in a walking boot during this same time last year too so I’m not worried

[@yuuki_]

Personally, I’d take Jacobs, he was already amazing last year with worse offense but now with an improved offense and more pass catching roles, he should have a lot of upside

[@phishhead42032]

I have 5th pick - usually take an RB first pick and we all know the top 4 RB to go. Would yall go Derrick Henry or what?
