10 team: Start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, 1Flex(rb/wr/te) .5PPR

Assuming the big 3 and Forte are gone.
Was thinking Lacy forever since workhorse RBs are scarce, but now starting to reconsider since 3WRS need to start.

If it is a standard league I'm going Lacy all the way, but in any form of PPR I'm having second thoughts, and thinking about just going Calvin, another elite WR if possible (Julio is in that list for me), and then going after running backs like bernard, spiller, or ellington, in the 3-5.

A few mocks I did with this strategy ended up something like this: (Used simulators and then ESPN since their rankings are advantageous to you if others follow so take it with a grain of salt)

1.5 Calvin
2.6 Dez/Julio
3.5 Ellington/Gio
4.6 Cobb/Vjax
5.5 Jennings/Spiller
6.6 Patterson/ Joique
7.5 QB / Flex

Starting to think 2/3 Stud WRs and Mid to High end RB2s are the way to go. Thoughts?

A top end TE is important, considering you could potentially play 2 at a time.

I was thinking about going with that strategy in my draft too, we are half point too. I would go Calvin. In the first two rounds it's all bout consistency and sure things. Lacy has the potential to the best RB in fantasy. But that's it..potential. He's still a low end RB1 but if the top 4 RBs are gone....you go with the value pick. It's all about value.

Take Calvin
