For people who prefer WR/TE early, which RBs do you usually target in the draft?

BPA or are there guys you really like in the later rounds that you're comfortable with starting?

Picking where?
Posted on 8/25/14 at 3:05 pm to xxKylexx
There are a few stud RBs this year IMO, then about 20 or so who could be really good but have huge question marks. I just don't really like the guys I can get in the 2nd and 3rd rounds much more than the guys I can get in the 5th-7th rounds. I don't care who they are, but I usually like the 2nd/3rd round WRs with the 5th/6th round RBs better than the opposite.
To answer your question, BPA. Targeting specific players is silly IMO.

this. Bernard will lose some touches to Hill, whom I also like in the 7th-8th round range. Other names I like are:
Gerhert
Jennings
Tate/West (grab both)
Richardson (may still suck but worth the chance where he's being drafted)
Miller/Moreno (see Tate/West)
Freeman (SJax will go down at some point)
It's tough to fill RB's now, so I just draft a bunch later and hope to hit with one or two. This is a passing league now, and I think having 2 of the top 5 WR's is the best route with serviceable RB's to fill in the gaps

PPR?
Posted on 8/25/14 at 3:06 pm to xxKylexx
Targeting: Gerhart, Miller, Rice
Hoping to get 1 and pair with Vereen, Ingram, Bell and/or Sankey.

I picked 5th in a 10 team league. I took Megatron, AJ Green and Antonio Brown in the first 3 rounds. I ended up with Ellington, Spiller, FJax, Vereen, and Ingram as my RBs.

I took Graham/Brees in the first two rounds. Wound up with Stacy/Gerhart/J Bell/Sproles and Ivory. Somewhat happy with that group, especially since its PPR.
Posted on 8/25/14 at 3:15 pm to xxKylexx
In a ppr:
Joique
Vereen
Spiller
Jennings
Gore
PT

Vereen

In PPR I really like Vereen and PT. If you're playing with savvy players Vereen may not get to you in the 3rd, though.

I picked 5th in standard scoring no-ppr last night. AP, Shady, Charles, and Forte were all gone, so I felt that megatron was my best option at that point. I know some people are high on Lacey, but I felt megatron was the better player at 5.
I don't typically like taking a wr first and probably wouldn't have if I had been 1-4 or 7-10, but that was what I was left with. I ended up with Ball and Spiller as RB 1 and 2 with Rashad Jennings, Sankey, and Terrence West on the bench. I really wanted Ellington and probably would have got him rather than Spiller, but the person picking before me was auto picking and he was the BPA according to yahoo rankings when it was his pick.

Ridiculous that Vereen dropped that far in a PPR draft.
Posted on 8/25/14 at 7:39 pm to oleyeller
Yeah i feel like you got extremely lucky getting Joique and Vereen that late. Good for you though, solid arse team.
Posted on 8/25/14 at 7:59 pm to xxKylexx
I got Mega and Dez with my first two picks, and I wound up with Ball, Spiller, and Ellington as my top rb's. I just go BPA. Really just build up a large stockpile at rb and sacrifice some depth at wr and other positions and hope that a couple of them work out.
ETA: Other rb's are Joique Bell, Carlos Hyde, and Andre Williams. I was hoping to grab Hill late because I'm a homer and I don't think that Bernard is a full time back, but he was drafted 2 spots before I was about to grab him.
