re: Had my first live draft tonight...

Use all three in favorable matchups against bad defenses

This is what I was going for in later rounds when I picked Riddick and Kamara. I reached a bit on McCaffery (depending on whether you go by ESPN or Yahoo; yahoo has McCaffery at 27, I got him at 30).

By the time my 2nd pick came around, Zeke, Gurley and Howard were gone, so it was out of Lynch, D. Murray, L. Miller, and Leonard Fournette at that point.

Didn't really care for any of those over Michael Thomas, so I took him and just took McCaffery the next round. I've never been one to draft really good runningbacks and I'm always moving them.

I'll likely drop Wentz and some others once rosters are up and waivers are open, but thlse last 3 rounds were just "frick it" rounds. No one could keep track of who was coming off it was going so fast. One guy kept trying to pick defenses and kickers that were already gone...lmao!

ETA: just as evidence of how little I have relied on stud runningbacks in FF, I have another PPR league that I have won twice in the last 3 years. I had Lynch in 2014 as my best RB, and Bilal Powell and Todd Gurley last year.

Obviously that won't always work, but it has worked for me in the past.
