Zero or Hero RB strategy

I think you have to wait to see who is there and take the best available when you're at number 7. I had 7 and a lot of the mocks I did I was able to get Henry or Cook. I don't see how you pass that up. That is unless you draft with a bunch of idiots and they let Jefferson fall to you.

I didn’t go zero RB but if it helps, I just drafted from the same position on ESPN and ended up with:

Burrow
Cook
Swift
Lamb
Pittman
Kittle
Higgins

Edmonds
Bateman
Lance
Harris
Kmet

Obviously you want to take what the draft gives you, but generally speaking I'd recommend going RB in the first two rounds of a 10-teamer.

I did it in a dynasty league. I took chase at 3. I was in the 8/10 slot but traded my 1.8 and 2.2 for 1.3 and 3.3. I took Chase and Andrews then with my pick at 3.8 and 4.10 took Metcalf and Mclaurin. The Rbs went early and often so I went for it.

If your 1st pick is Kupp, Jefferson, Chase or Adams. I wouldn't do it for Diggs or Kelce if say Najee or Kamara are there.

If Henry or Cook falls to you, I’d take them. If not, zero RB isn’t a bad idea though I’d stay open to a RB in round 2. I would not take a RB round 3 personally unless a 2nd round RB falls. Zero RB is extra beneficial if the base lineup is either 3 WR 1 flex or 2 WR 2 flex. If it’s only 2 WR 1 flex, zero RB is less viable

You could go something like this:
Chase
Andrew’s
DJ Moore (you’ll have options here)
Allen Robinson (lots of options here)
AJ Dillon or 4th WR
Hurts
Patterson
Rhamondre

For me, I don’t think entering a draft with the 0 rb philosophy is a smart approach. If the draft unfolds where this could be an option due to other positions available, then it has a better shot. But too hard to predict it will go your way prior to draft

This is reference to a typical redraft league.

I don’t like zero rb. But my league is std scoring. Picked 5th this year and got CMC, swift, and zeke. WRs are usually suspect bit diontae and cooks feel pretty solid for me. Fdrafted Kyler in the 6th so I basically got another rb.

not taking the same guys in every league.

Fully get your point for first 3 round guys.. but there’s late round picks I’ve snagged everywhere.

NE Parker, for example. Mostly a gut feeling (which always work out.)

I do have Pitts 2 out of my 3 because I think there’s a decent shot at a #1 TE finish.
