Had the 11th pick in a 12 team PPR league. Went Diggs, Lamb, Cooper, L. Jackson with my first 4 picks and they were the only 4 remaining draftees on my team at seasons end. Had a ho hum regular season and made the playoffs as the 3 seed at 9-5. Rode those 4 players to the championship with some help from Jerome Ford and Trey McBride who were picked up along the way.

Agree. Had pick 6 of 10. Took Tyreke, Garrett Wilson, Lamar then Etienne. Won the sip but what could have been had Aaron Rogers stayed healthy.

I had like pick 2 or 4. Selected McCaffery. People were staying away because of injury. Also took Mongomery from Detroit who was solid for me all year.

Zero a lot of things worked this year

A ton of new names popped up as top 15 options on the year

So many injuries and a lot of weird production from teams you didn’t expect while some blue chips massively underperformed.

ETA: I went ZRB this year. Didn’t even start Chase. Olave, though productive most weeks lately, didn’t do shite Wk17. Interesting year altogether.

My first 4 picks this year were similar. Had the 12th pick. Went Lamb, AJ Brown at 12/13 and then Mark Andrews, Burrow as 3rd and 4th round selections.

Drafted Pacheco in 6th round. Picked up Kyren Williams and Jerome Ford in back to back weeks. Picked up Achane too. Likely was picked up bc Schultz was injured. Very glad for that pickup.

Stafford was the QB pickup along with Goff after Burrow went down.

Same.

This is the way to go. Grab as many top WRs as you can IMO.

Got great value with Kyren. Picking up Ford and Achane helped. Had Kamara at a value.

Just need to hit on a few of these guys. Sometimes easier said than done, but it was better than busting on top RB picks.

Hit gold in my dynasty with Rice at pick 11 and Puka as an udfa, Warren was a solid RB2

In my redraft league I somehow won it drafting Kupp fourth overall, oops. R White ASB and Aiyuk carried my team

See and I drafted CMC, Mixon, and Rachaad White early then rode them to a championship.

Receivers ended up being Mike Evans and a mix of Chris Olave/DJ Moore.

Different ways to do it

Yes and no.

It worked if you took any running back other than CMC.

58.9% of the teams that made the championship on ESPN had CMC. Kyren Williams was second at 40%.

I tend to go Hero RB, one RB1 and then a top TE and WR heavy for the top six or seven rounds.

I’ll probably adjust next year and take a TE in six or seven and hit RB, WR the first five.
