M. Diego asked in SportsFantasy Sports · 5 years ago

Are the days of drafting mainly running backs in the first round over?

Most mock drafts are projecting Antonio Brown to go 1st overall and Odell Beckham in the top 3

Update:

Note that this is a Fantasy Football question

    No..

    Levon Bell,& Adrian Peterson will remain top 10 picks for a long time.

    Gurley may be there this year..

    As long as leagues start more than 1 RB there will be RBs going in round 1.Because of the scarcity of bell cow RBs in the NFL.Too many RBs share carries with other RBs to classify them as "bell cow" RBs.

    There are loads of WRs hat can be called bell cow #1 WRs for their teams.And the other fantasy positions usually just start 1 position,so they are not scarce for talent in normal sized fantasy leagues.

    Haha, I didn't realize this was a FF question. That's a hard one, I personally drafted Antonio with my 1st round pick. But overall I think RB's will dominate the 1st round for years to come. They are in on too many plays, they collect points nowadays like nobodies business. And every time they score at TD, it's 6 points instead of a QB's 4.

    I think what I have learned from last season is not to go for the juicy dripping-with-potential guys. In the early rounds next year I am going for solid rocks that I know I can count on. I'll swing on risk-or-reward types in the later rounds.

    running backs are low priority anymore - just not an important part of the pro game anymore - its a passing league - defense, off line and QB"S are higher draft picks anymore
