For anybody in 10 man ppr leagues with the first pick, assuming CMC is the pick, who are you looking to take/took with 20 and 21st pick? I am struggling with who I should be looking for. RBs are scarce so I am looking to get an RB there, and possibly come back with another or a WR if there is one I can’t pass on. What players in that range are you on?

Receivers I think you’re looking at Aj Brown , Justin Jefferson, Metcalf, Calvin Ridley. Some very solid options will be there at the turn. Considering how deep wide receiver is in this draft though and some really high upside rookies that could be had much later I would strongly consider adding at least one more running back at the turn. I think some guys that could be there in this spot would be Jk dobbins , CEH , David Montgomery, swift. Obviously this is all subject to change but these are some common names I’ve been seeing in several mocks and the two drafts I’ve done thus far.

Mine was a 12 man PPR league and I went CMC, Hopkins, Jefferson.

The first 8 picks in my league were rbs.

What's the rest of your roster look like? Who are your other rbs? I've mocked something similar but I hated who was there for my rb2 and rb3

My league is a little different in where we start 2rb,2wr & 2 flex. I think this would devalue waller and Kittle a little and I'm debating going really rb heavy. 4 in my first 5 rounds.

This gives me something like CMC, CEH, Carson/Montgomery, Mike Davis. With lockett and Claypool /jeudy at wr along with a few dart throws

Also have the first pick. I’m leaning towards adding kittle or Waller then the top available receiver. What you might lose in RB2 value later in the draft you’ll gain with consistency at the tight end position.

Probably a WR and RB combo



WR being either Jefferson, Ridley, or Metcalf

RB being either CEH or Dobbins. One of them in a 10 team will be there.



Starting off with CMC, a top tier WR like Jefferson, Ridley or Metcalf and a RB2 like Dobbins or CEH is a hell of a start.

I ended up with Davis and Hunt as my other RBs. (And a handcuff late)

I had 1st pick in 14 team PPR league so a little less options on the turn compared to 10 or 12 teamer.

But I went McCaffrey, Dobbins, McLaurin.

Yeah I mean you don't want to force it. If you're in a league where people just flock to RBs and you don't like Dobbins or Carson then there's nothing wrong with going with CMC and then following up with two stud WRs like Hopkins, Metcalf, Ridley, Jefferson, Robinson.

Exactly. Those guys will have their RBs and you will be able to have some fall to you because the other owners will be snatching up other positions.

I ended up loading up at running back in my 12 man.

#2 overall pick. I took Cook

23- CEH was there so I took him. Still some unknowns with the injury but just felt too good to pass up at 23

26- had my sights set on Darren Waller but he went at 25 and the best WR available was keenan Allen.(good pick but just not the wr I wanted to spent that high a pick on ) Decided to go ahead and be set at running back so I grabbed David Montgomery.

Still ended up fair at WR. - grabbed Lockett, kupp, obj, shenault, pittman, and E moore

Added one more rb in Ronald jones later on.

Russell and burrow at qb.

Tonyan -te

Not a terrible squad for a 12 man league.
