I always try to think outside the box. For years I've always loaded up on RBs and filled in the rest of my roster with mid level guys at the other positions.

This yr I'm thinking of taking Brees/Rodgers/Peyton in the 1st and grabbing Jimmy Graham in the 2nd. This all pending of course on not getting the #1 overall pick. I'm thinking I can grab some decent RBs after that and I think there's plenty of solid WRs to get later on in the draft.

How do y'all see this working out for me?
What's your draft strategy this yr?

Running backs are pretty thin this year. Get one early if you can (top 7)

Graham won't be there in the second

Graham won't be there in the second unless you're drafting last and get him on the turn.

Also, don't get cute. If you've got one of the first four picks, go RB and don't look back.

Guy that drafted 7th in my work league did this.

He took Brees in 1st followed by Graham in second. In a 1/2 PPR league.

But then he followed those up with CJ2K and Golden Tate in 3rd and 4th round. 10 man league.

I drafted 6th and have gotten

Demarco Murray

I actually like Graham and Brees in the first and second round but not if it means im getting CJ and Tate in the 3rd in 4th...especially in a 10 team.

Just a little help for those who use ESPN for fantasy. If you have a league on ESPN you can go to the projections for the players and where it says scoring type, select your league. It will change the projections based on your leagues scoring.
