Hello everyone. Please help me out. Do I take Lacy, Megatron, DT88, Jimmy or Dez? Thank you in advance!

It comes down to Lacy or Mega, IMO.
I'd prolly go Lacy. Too many good WRs out there

Lacy. You can get Julio at #20

So why not CJ then Julio? You could still get decent RBs in the 3rd and 4th and have a major advantage at WR.
Of course, it would help if the OP gave us the lineup requirements. If 3 required WRs and 2 required RBs, I like my way better. If 2 required WRs and RBs, I may lean with your suggestion.

This. RBs are a crap shoot, while the top 5-6 WRs are much more consistent. I won a league last year, with basically no RBs drafted before round 6 (I had gone Rice in the 1st, Wilson in the 4th and Miller in the 5th). I won a different league riding Charles, Marshall, Gio and KC D.
Point is, you don't have to draft a rb in round 1. If you do, you might win, you might lose. Just like if you don't. Lacy is a 2nd year RB who we assume will produce, but how often does that get said? I'd rather Megatron or DT88

I always thought of rb's as more consistent than wr's

I used to, but more along the theory of an RB has guaranteed touches, whereas a WR doesn't. But I don't think that holds, at least as to those top 5-6 Wrs - a la Mega, DT, Dez (to an extent), AJ, Marshall, maybe Julio if not injured.
Those guys, especially in PPR, will put up 15-20 every just about every week.
Look over prior drafts, see the first round RBs that did vs did not pan out. The only top WR last year that did not pan out was Julio, due to injury.

It is easier to find later round WR's who perform within 80% of the #1 WR than identifying RB's who will do the same.
Last year Jordy, Brown, Gordon, Alshon, Garcon, Johnson, Jackson, and Decker all went 3rd or later and were 80% of the WR1.
Only Forte was not in the first and within 80% of RB1. If you use 80% of RB3 throwing out Charles being so much better, then you have Forte in the 3rd and Knowshon.
I find it easier to get top scoring WR's in the 2nd-4th, so if I have a chance at one of the bell cow backs, I go for the risk.
