So just found out I'm picking first in my biggest money league. I really even haven't started research yet, starting to get into it. Standard snake, non Ppr, 4 pts for passing TDs.

What's your strategy picking at the top? Take the chance on Bell or go with AP/Charles?

What positions or guys are you seeing on the back around?

Bell, but reasonable people can disagree.

How many teams in your league?

I know this might seem like an odd question, but which site is hosting your league?

Bell or Peterson imo

2nd & 3rd rounds

Alshon Jeffery
Randall Cobb
aj green mike Evans

Carlos Hyde
Gore
Lamar miller

For me the WR far outweighs the RB value. I'd prob go 2 WR to pair with whatever stud RB you take

Yahoo.

I'm thinking of going RB/QB/WR. Obviously it always depends on whose available. I'll be flexible. Just looking at possibilities

Yeah I just did a mock and went AP/Cobb/Hilton. After that it's a work in progress.

Now I know why I don't use Yahoo. I can't even find their rankings on the website

I'm not using Yahoo to research. Don't even use it to draft. I don't know what their rankings are.

The reason I ask is that, in the overwhelming majority of leagues, the default rankings on the website used for the draft play a huge role in the ADP of the players drafted.

i wouldnt go QB that early, they are kinda de-valued by only getting 4 points for a TD pass.

Cobb had a nice TD year last year, but unlikely to replicate. Still, he has value in a non PPR just because of that offense. Hitlon has never been a big TD guy, and theyve added more mouths to feed.

Id look at guys like Mike Evans or even Jimmy Graham in that 2nd/3rd. They'll both flirt with double digit TDs which will give you a nice boost in a non PPR. Alshon Jeffery too. Big red zone targets. Just my opinion.

Bell and then get an elite WR at 2.

Crazy talk. The odds of him delivering on that value are slim to none, in my opinion.

double digit TD threat, should be the main focal point of the passing game. He'll be fine if he stays healthy.
