I think it's moving more towards best available but there's still so few elite RBs, they need to be taken early.

There's always WRs that step up and can be had either late or from the WW that perform at near elite levels, ie Cobb and Antonio Brown last year and TWilliams this year are good examples. By taking elite RBs early you can set yourself up to make trades later on, IMO.

For instance, I'm in a 10 team PPR, and yeah it's easier obviously to get stacked teams but I've been able to make some trades with people that needed RBs, and because I went RB heavy early, took a QB late, and watched the wire was able to make solid trades.

I drafted 8th in a snake and went McCoy/Forte/Julio/Bush. Now, I made some good choices, because I could have taken Spiller/Trent/etc at 8/13. Had I done that I'd be hating life.

Trades I've made to teams with the Spillers of the world because I went so RB heavy and good but not elite WR were:

Week 4 Antonio Brown/FJax for Jordy

Week 5 Stevie/Steve Smith/Ridley for Dez

Week 9 McCoy/Alshon for Mega

So if all stay healthy, I should be in good shape. Current roster:

QB: Ryan
WR: Mega, Dez, Jordy, TWilliams, DHB, Kerley, Harvin (Trying to trade him)
RB: Forte, Bush, Murray, Helu
TE: Reed
