1st pick in fantasy football draft

A lot depends on how your league is set up and how many people are in it. Is it PPR? If so, then CMC and Eckler must come into play, because those little screen passes/ dump offs will get you hella points every week. Taylor is still probably the #1 consensus pick though and the safest bet. 

Since you get back to back picks for rounds 2 and 3 you have to pick and choose very wisely. A stud RB in the first and then the best WR/RB/TE combo you can pull in 2 & 3. 

This is the way.

I would love to be in a league where Kelce went first overall. He didn't even finish #1 in TE scoring last year.

Picking a running back in the first is outdated.   And there are so many wr's that get points in todays NFL.  Like I said there are like 3 te's that consistently give you points every week.  Its a huge advantage if you draft well and get some running back sleepers.  There are always guys that emerge.   Just look at the rankings from the last 6-8 weeks of running backs and you will say very few of them were drafted in the first round

I dunno man, running back is the one position that falls off an absolute cliff if you don't draft them early.  It's so much easier to find WR sleepers later on since most teams operate out of 3 WR sets the majority of the time.  With running backs, the handful of featured guys get snagged up within the first few rounds and then you're basically left with taking handcuffs on the off chance that a starter gets dinged up and misses time.  Or draft a backup rookie running back and hope that he takes over the starting position at some point in the season.  I can't recall how many years I've had random rookie running backs sitting on my bench just clogging up valuable roster spots because my running back situation was so desperate that I was banking on one of them amounting to something during the season.

I'm not saying Kelce doesn't have value. But it would be ludicrous to pick him first if you had the #1 pick of the entire draft. I could MAYBE buy your argument if you were picking at the end of the first round (although Mark Andrews would be the better choice). But unless you have weird league settings, you're only starting one Tight End each week and at least 2 RBs and 2 WRs (if not more). And of course running backs get hurt and others emerge, which is why you draft guys with upside in later rounds too.

Taylor there is no 2nd guessing this.  Cmc can't stay healthy. Lol connect the dots 

JT will have a good year (barring injury) but there is some serious built in regression with him simply due to the perfect storm of the record number of touches he got inside the 5 and overall volume as well.

I wonder if you still feel this way?
