I’m picking from the 8th spot in a 10 team league what’s the best strategy. It’s a 1 qb 1 rb 2 wr 1 te 3 flex league

I'm at 8 in my money league. I'm going best RB / WR at 8 and 13. And probably the same in rounds 3 and 4. Going to see how the QB picks go but willing to wait on a QB until the mid rounds.

You are always looking for the best roster construction. It really depends on what's available to you when you pick. I intentionally went into a draft wanting to go RB heavy and ended up taking 3 WRs in the first 3 rounds. Just all depends on best available and what you think you can get in later rounds.

I'm picking 6th and all my mocks have me going RB/RB/BPA- and in some cases BPA is a third running back

Just a lot more WR value in rounds 3-5. I feel better about a WR1 coming out of round 3-6 than I do about a RB1 coming out of 3-6

At 8 you could end up with 2 of Taylor, Barkley, Achane, Brown and still end up with a Olave, Egbuka, Smith, Pickens, Nabers

I also think if you aren't the guy paying up for Josh Allen then you're better off waiting until your 2nd or 3rd last pick on QB. Not enough variance between 3 and 13 there for me anymore

I would try to go RB/RB, unless a value WR drops to you. Best case scenario this year I’m aiming for two of the top 12 RBs because I feel like there is a large drop off after that. Obviously if Chase or Puka somehow drop to you at 8, you take one of those.

At 28 you Can probably still land a decent WR, like DeVonta Smith, Malik Nabers, George Pickens, or maybe even Nico Collins.
