We're looking at five must draft running backs in fantasy football if you completely fade the running back position for the first five, six rounds of your draft.

So I think there's this common misconception in fantasy football that like if you start your draft off going super heavy at one position, like say you go zero running back and you take three wide receivers, a tight end, a quarterback in the first five rounds.

You got no running backs by the time you hit round six or vice versa. Same thing with wide receivers.

That like the position that you haven't drafted yet, the guys that you should target in those

ranges should be like high upside dudes. Dudes that could be like league winners because if they do

hit, your team is going to be stacked

the way i look at it is completely the opposite of that your team by the time you get to like

round six should be really really stacked at the positions that you drafted and by the time you

get there you have made up already the majority of the points that your team is going to have. By the time,

if I'm in round six or seven and I have not drafted a running back yet, I'm not trying to draft a guy

that I subjectively think is talented that might jump over like one or two guys in the backfield

on the chance that he is upside. I'm looking for dudes that I know are getting 10 to 12

touches per game in an average to above average offense. Like, give me those 8, 10, 11 fantasy

points per week in the positions that are not premium or in the rounds that are not premium. And I'm

that's me all fantasy season, okay?

Your first four to five picks in any fantasy draft are going to do the majority of the heavy lifting for you.

Okay, if you look at ADP and you look at average PPR points per players picked at these

80p spots, and there's obviously a lot of nuance to it.

You can look at half

PPR and per position per year. Things change. But on average, your first four picks, depending on how

many starting lineup positions you have in your lineup are going to make up, I don't know,

36, 38, 40 percent of your starting lineup in terms of just people in your roster. But that's
