Wild Card Weekend Picks on DRAFT
My strategy would be to grab a running back with my first pick as you need to roster two and there are only four games this weekend. There are a solid five or six running backs to choose from, but I expect they’ll fly off the board in the first round. You don’t want to be stuck with Tevin Coleman and Jonathan Stewart as your two running backs, because you went QB / WR to start. Grab a solid running back and then a QB if you are playing in a larger contest than three or four contestants. You don’t want to be stuck with Tyrod Taylor, Marcus Mariota or Blake Bortles. It’s not the end of the world if you have one of those QB’s, but it would be nice to avoid those three if you could.
Rankings for this weekend:
- Todd Gurley
- Leonard Fournette
- Alvin Kamara
- Kareem Hunt
- Mark Ingram
- Michael Thomas
- Derrick Henry
- Julio Jones
- Devonta Freeman
- Alex Smith
- Travis Kelce
- Tyreek Hill
- Christian McCaffrey
- Drew Brees
- Jared Goff
- Cam Newton
- Cooper Kupp – leads the team in red zone targets, third overall in the league.
- Robert Woods
- Greg Olsen
- Mohamed Sanu
- Sammy Watkins
- Ted Ginn
- Rishard Matthews
- LeSean McCoy – this is a major risk, but if you go RB/QB/WR and finish with Shady, that’s not bad!
- Eric Decker
- Marqise Lee
- Devin Funchess
- Tevin Coleman
- Delanie Walker
- Charles Clay
