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?
