Summary

So many busts among the Top 30 RBs in average draft position last year, so how do we ensure that doesn't happen again? First we'll offer up an interesting Zero-RB twist (3:23) that could be helpful before getting into ADP (6:33) starting right at the top with the Big Four and wondering if James Conner should be a first round pick ... Getting to Round 2 (17:40) with guys like Joe Mixon, Nick Chubb, Todd Gurley and a few others. Pros and cons for these guys. Then we get to the next group (34:50) which is a huge risk/reward group featuring Aaron Jones, Damien Williams, Marlon Mack and Devonta Freeman. Should you just draft WRs here or are the RBs too enticing to pass up? ... Discussing the middle rounds (38:30) with guys like Mark Ingram, Tevin Coleman and Lamar Miller. Plus backfield splits in DEN, NE, CHI and MIA and how to approach the pass-catchers in different formats ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
