If drafting in the first round, especially towards the top, always go running back. In Fantasy, running backs can yield you more points than any other position. TD’s both rushing and receiving, Rushing Yards, and Receiving yards. Elite running backs are hard to come by.
Don’t be that guy who gets Jimmy Graham with the 3rd pick.
Graham may be elite but won’t see the overall offensive touches that Marshawn Lynch will.
Especially in a PPR league where a Le’veon Bell will not only get 25 rushes a game but also 6-7 catches as well.
Even in a pass happy league, Running backs will get a good portion of the touches.
Also in the red zone, offenses are more likely to give it to an Adrian Peterson or Arian Foster then try to run a fade.
