When do you look to buck the "trend"?

Let's say it's the first round, when do you start looking at a WR like Antonio Brown instead of RB? Maybe 6? So you're taking him instead of CJ Anderson...

If you are in a PPR league you could justify taking Brown at 1.

After Tier 1 RBs are gone

Bell
Peterson
Charles
Lynch
Lacy

So yeah. Probably 6

Then you end up with what kind of RB1 though?

I guess you could maybe get Demarco or McCoy if you were lucky. MAYBE Hill

I doubt Anderson would get back to you though.
What if you went
Antonio Bryant
Demarco/McCoy/Forte
Frank Gore/Lamar Miller/Alfred Morris

Not too bad

When he's the best available player on your board.

I'd almost rather get 2 Elite WRs and not go running back until your third pick unless you can get one of the three you mentioned

Antonio Brown has gone before him in every draft I've had.

Just ran a few mocks with the WR/WR strategy, I've gotta say the teams are pretty good

Having Brown and Jones/ODB/Johnson/Green offsets a starting RB crew of something like Frank Gore and Alfred Morris

I agree if you can get Brown and Dez/ Jones/ DT88 etc you are off to a good start especially in PPR. I did this and ended up with Lamar Miller in the 3rd, and Ellington in the 4th.

Antonio Brow
I've got both

Brown went #1 in a 12 team PPR league that I drafted last night the guy who picked him got McCoy at 24.

If you're drafting anywhere past 7 it's a safe bet to take a WR, but that's not really bucking a trend. Personally I'm going Dez because Dallas has no running game and tons of pass protection.

In 1 ppr league, I took brown with pick 5, and got Forte in the 2nd. I don't think I was bucking the trend, just thought it was the right move at the time, and ended up happy with the team I drafted.

Honestly, I'd take Hill 6 and hope for an AJ Green in round 2.
