Summary

The early rounds of your Fantasy drafts will be heavy on RBs this season, so how many RBs should you take with your first three or four picks? Dave and Jamey tell you when they load up at the position (2:30), how they feel about the RB position in general (11:44) and if Zero-RB is a viable strategy this year (19:50). Should you be avoiding the Round 3 and 4 RBs? Should you take Travis Kelce ahead of Aaron Jones? ... More overall strategy talk (25:45) and how it changes in different formats. Any thoughts on taking a RB with each of your first three picks? And how do we feel about the rookies this season (32:00)? ... Sleepers (36:50), breakouts (41:30) and busts (49:30)! A case for Ronald Jones and Darrell Henderson. A case against David Montgomery and Derrick Henry ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com

1:21.3

because he takes them all, right? He can't take them all because he only has a certain number of

1:26.9

picks. So there are thankfully plenty of other running backs to take, but yes, Dave likes taking
