I've been messing around with different mock drafts and strategies lately. Pretty much I've come to the conclusion that, personally, I'm not a fan of the zero RB strategy. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'm just not comfortable with Jonathan Stewart, Carlos Hyde, or worse as my #1 RB starting the season.
Ideally, I'm leaving the draft with David Johnson, Adrian Peterson, or Ezekiel Elliot as my first pick. But if I miss out on those guys, there's Lamar Miller, Rawls, Doug Martin, Devonta Freeman, and Mark Ingram left as the only viable options in round two.
Rawls is easily my favorite of that group, but that may only be because I'm biased. He's custom built for this offense. Rookie additions or not, if he stays healthy he'll produce top 10 fantasy numbers. Lamar Miller I really want to like but I keep getting stuck on the fact he's on a new team. Doug Martin is Doug Martin. Talented but hard to trust. The news coming out of the Bucs camp is promising, though. Freeman I'm going to avoid like the plague. Coleman is talented. Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up stealing the #1 role quite early in the season for Atlanta. I'll be targeting him late. I've been burned too many times by Ingram in the past to draft him now. May not be logical of me, but I just can't draft him unless he falls.
So right now, the only RB's I'd be willing to take in round two are Rawls, Miller, and Martin. In that order for now, but I may flip Miller and Martin. Thoughts?
