Pick last (10) snake draft. League is RB draft heavy. 3 out of 10 will draft RB first 4 rounds.
Is Cook a gamble at 11 or should I go RB and WR at this point?
Obviously no top tier backs will remain in third for me.

I like Gordon, Cook and Fournette better than any WR outside of AB. I like OBJ, Hopkins, and Julio better than Hunt and McCaffery.

At that pick, I would take OBJ, Hopkins, or Julio first. Then best running backs available

Need to know what you mean by RB draft heavy and the scoring system.

The back end of the 3rd this year has seemingly had higher upside RBs left than receivers.

If it’s PPR, you could go something like Hopkins, Cook, Cooper, Drake.

I picked 3,3,6 in snake drafts and judging how I thought the board would look based on ADP pegged my targets as RB, WR, WR, RB. I think you could do the same thing at the back end of the first and end up with a really solid core group of players. One of those backs going in the 4th-5th this year will be a steal. Happens all the time


But I’m really confused at what you’re asking. It’s my understanding you’ll hold picks 10,11, 30, 31. There will be good players left but you have to play the board on your first two picks. If everyone drafts backs in the first round then they’ll be targeting receivers in the 3-4. I’d probably go ahead and lock down my receivers. Hopkins and OBJ then best available backs at 30,31. Should be able to get two pretty good backs there.

Our league has 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 flex RB/WR. At least 4 people drafting will grab RBs with first 3 picks. It happens every year. They grab anyone and everyone you can try to wait for on the back end.
