Summary

If you look at WR average draft position over the last 3 seasons, it seems that Fantasy managers are moving away from WRs in Round 1. So, should you do the same and focus on Rounds 2-5? We're giving you the overview of the WR position on today's show including the profile we like in a WR (2:30), the best spot in the draft for WRs (13:26) and if the second tier of the position is a jumbled mess (14:30). Also, where is the major drop off at the position? ... More overall strategy talk (19:30), how many WRs should go in Round 1 (27:23), how many should go ahead of Travis Kelce and when to take Michael Thomas (30:00) ... Sleepers (33:45), breakouts (40:40) and busts (51:35)! We love Calvin Ridley, D.J. Moore and A.J. Brown this season. Laviska Shenault is on our radar late in drafts. How do we feel about DeAndre Hopkins and Odell Beckham? ... Email us at fantasyfootball@cbsi.com
