FSH NOTEBOOK: DAVID'S DAILY DIGEST

August 7th 2017
Monday Night Edition






On the Cover this Week

Who are you Drafting at No.1?

In most drafts, except for maybe two quarterback leagues, at the top of the list of this year’s fantasy drafts are last years running back studs; the Cardinals David Johnson, the Steelers Le’Veon Bell, and the Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott. The current trend is any one of these three could go number one in your draft and there’s plenty of argument to support all.

Even running backs LeSean McCoy (14 total touchdowns in 2016) and Melvin Gordon (over 1,400 total yards in 13 games last season) could warrant such a high consideration in this season. Ah yes, decisions, decisions.

And don’t think it gets any easier.

Although the trend appears to be focused on the backfield, wide receivers Julio Jones (2nd in yards receiving in 2016), Odell Beckham Jr (3rd in receptions in 2016), and of course Antonio Brown (2nd in receptions in 2016) are getting their share of love in fantasy drafts. And why not, these studs can put up ridiculous numbers on any given Sunday.

And let’s not forget AJ Green (964 yards receiving in 10 games last season) and Mike Evans (12 touchdowns in 2016); these boys will be back again for a big season in 2017.

Whether you are looking at any of these studs in your coming drafts or have your sites focused on some other, if you are sitting in the top spot of your leagues pending draft the big question is, who are you taking at Number one?
