It sets the stage nicely for the cleverly coined and my personal favorite “Hero RB” approach with a locked-and-loaded stud in your RB1 slot you can snag in Round 2 (or Round 1 if you are a mid-to-late snake draft pick). And it makes sense to take them that high because there will still be very strong RB pairings available in Round 2.
As I alluded to in the introduction, these guys are in their own separate tier at the top. However, if I hold the first or second overall pick in a 2023 snake draft, I am 10/10 drafting either Justin Jefferson or Ja’Marr Chase. However, with a strong crop of diverse running backs entering the player pool, I’d bet we return to the glory days where RBs reigned supreme in Round 1 - as they did just one season ago.īecause one thing’s for certain - running backs are still the drivers behind fantasy-winning teams, so get your talented studs early in Rounds 1-2. Right now, there’s a strong argument that today’s top WRs are just better than the top RBs. So, seeing WRs being drafted ahead of many of the RBs is just part of the natural fantasy football cycle. It wasn’t so long ago that the elite tier of WRs like Davante Adams, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham Jr., DeAndre Hopkins and Antonio Brown were drafted in the top half of Round 1. But this isn’t the first time we have seen elite WRs favored against their running back counterparts. Although, of course, the landscape at the very top has changed slightly to favor the league’s top-tier WRs, such as Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase.
Whether it’s best ball or redraft fantasy football, the golden standard approach of selecting a running back with your first or second-round pick has not changed.
