The hero wide receiver and double hero wide receiver strategy might be the biggest, you know, ball strategy in fantasy football. Uh, Danny, for those people that don't know what hero and double hero wide receiver are, why don't you let them know?
And I would say that these are probably two of the newer strategies that people have had kind of adapting to what we've seen in the past. And the best way I would describe the hero and double hero is that it's a reactionary response strategy. This new trend of running back values being far better than they were in the past, being more priced in. We've talked about in the last couple strategy videos just how many less running backs are going in the top 50. It's acknowledging that the running back values are nice while also acknowledging that wide receiver is due for a huge bounce back in 2026, like we'll talk about with how bad 2025 was.
Yeah. And a hero wide receiver or hero running back is usually you're getting your top-end guys at the top, right? So from rounds one to two, maybe three, you're getting one, if not two, anchor wide receivers. And another big trend that we've seen the last couple of years is that 12 and 13 personnel are becoming a huge thing. So if you're getting the clear X receiver on a team or the clear-cut route leader on a team, this is like that's why I said it's a ball-nower strategy. Like people who are kind of up on what the NFL is gearing towards, that's why they're doing stuff like this. So the hero wide receiver strategy, while you're kind of acknowledging that the running back position is coming at a better value, you're also acknowledging that maybe the gap is actually bigger between the top-end receivers and the middle wide receivers because we're seeing kind of the death of the wide receiver two position in fantasy. And vice versa, we're seeing RB2s produce better than they used to.
Yeah. And while in a hero running back build, you're going to make your running back two spot the weakest spot in your team, you're then going to spend, you know, most of your dart throws late, your FAB, and season to fix that spot. In a hero wide receiver, you're kind of acknowledging the importance of that top-flight wide receiver while spending your surrounding high picks building a strong running back core, buoying that elite wide receiver. And in my opinion, a well-executed hero wide receiver will typically leave the first four rounds. You're going to get one 18-plus point per game upside receiver, two strong top 15 to 20 running back projections, and maybe an elite onesie. Whereas, if you're doing a double hero wide receiver, I do believe you're going to have to take those two wide receivers in the first two rounds, and then you're going to have to buoy them with two strong running back projections in rounds three and four.
Yeah. And you're typically only going to coin it a hero if it is like Rasheed Rice, Nico Collins, AJ Brown, Devonte Smith, and higher. I would say those are like the hero wide receivers. So, you'd either get two of those guys or one of those guys. And again, part of the reason why we think this is like the ball-knower strategy is because as we've talked about in the zero and hero running back video, the running back injury rates lately are down. And it probably won't continue if history is any indication because last year, 35% of the top 20 wide receivers in ADP suffered an injury that caused them to miss five or more games. That is an extreme outlier at the wide receiver position. 4.1 games missed on average as well. Even the guys that didn't miss significant time like a Nico Collins or a Brian Thomas Jr. still missed a game or two here and there and dealt with injury throughout the year. Whereas running backs had their lowest average games missed in 10 years last season in 2025. So we could be due for like a, if you're a math guy, like a regression to the mean, uh, where the running backs start to suffer more injuries and the wide receivers start to stay healthier, as we've known for 10-plus years is usually the case, but lately it hasn't been the case.
Yeah. And given these tables, it's very possible that running backs are going to face more injuries. Wide receivers are maybe going to stay healthier. You look at the averages across those 10 years. 2.11 average games missed for receivers, 14.1% serious injury rate. That was at an all-time high, like we said in 2025. Whereas at running back, man, all-time lows, 1.45 average games missed, only a 15% serious injury chance. When you look at the averages of 2.86 and 19%, definitely a lot lower than we've seen in the past.
Yeah. And in the top 50 of overall ADP, four rounds or so into your drafts, the last two years or last three years really, we've seen running backs perform at the higher level, especially when you factor in just how bad wide receiver was in 2025. Only 26% – 11 out of 23 of the wide receivers taken early in the draft ended up being an asset, a net asset to your team. In 2015, we've talked about this already, but we saw the doomsday scenario at running back. A. Foster and Le'Veon Bell and all those guys, Adrian Peterson, they all ended up getting injured. The running backs, conversely, the next season in 2016 went lower in ADP and the position posted its highest win rate that basically stood for nine years after that as the highest win rate we've ever seen from early-round running backs in the top 50 until 2024, as ADP actually ended up beating it. So, if we're kind of looking ahead here because like a Nico Collins, Rasheed Rice type in previous years probably would be like a one-two turn pick. The fact that they're going at the two-three turn might present the same exact opportunity for receivers.
And Corey, not to upset the, uh, progression versus regression, uh, guys in the comments, but this is why we always talk about regression to the mean. When we have years and years of data and we see wide receiver 26.09% whereas the last two years, 45.83%, 50%. We see the years prior never dropping below 40%. Like, yeah, 26.09% is a big-time outlier. We will be getting positive regression at wide receiver in 2026. In my opinion, I think it is the perfect opportunity to invest back into the elite wide receiver because, like I said, this is just straight up an all-time outlier. And when you contextualize where the modern NFL is going, you talked about this at the top, 12 personnel sets, 13 personnel sets, teams wanting to get heavier personnel on the NFL field, because ultimately we've seen the value in NFL offenses has been marrying the run game to the passing game. By having bigger bodies on the field, not only are you giving the illusion that you're trying to run the football, but we also see from a fantasy football perspective, the elite wide receivers are more productive when less targeted are on the field. If you just think about it mathematically, if we're subbing off the 185-pound number three receiver slot for a run-blocking tight end, the number one wide receiver has a lot more volume available to him.
Yeah, exactly. That's why you see stats like yards per run and two wide receiver sets and, you know, 13 personnel go up for guys like Puka Nacua and Davante Adams last year, which was one of the most condensed offenses in the NFL, the Los Angeles Rams, because they ran so much 12 and 13 personnel. Adams and Puka were pretty much the only receivers above 30, 40, 50 targets on the season. So again, between 2017 and 2024, you could still get league-winning running backs in rounds three and four. And now, as we'll talk about in a second, the running backs in round five and round six are better projections or at least higher ceiling bets than we've normally seen go there. And that's mainly because the majority of home league players are all of the same hive mindset that I need to get my running backs early because the wide receiver position is deep. I'm going to take the receivers that I need in round three, in round four, in round five, in round six because look at Chris Olave last year. Look at George Pickens last year. You can get those guys late. I don't need to take them early and I'll get my running back one and two in the first two rounds and then I'll just fill up my wide receiver core later. So again, this is kind of like the ball-knower strategy also because it's maybe zigging while your league zags and they want to take their running backs early and you're going to take the falling value of, you know, JSN falling down the board or Puka Nacua falling down the board or whatever the case is. The one thing that we have to make clear about this strategy is in order to execute it properly, you have to like some of the running backs in the mid rounds. You cannot be of the old adage that we've talked about where it's dead zone this and dead zone that and I'm not going to take any running backs late because in 2023 and 2024, 50% of the dead zone running backs hit, 57% of the dead zone running backs hit. Last year was actually a little bit of an outlier at running back. 26% of the running backs hit in the dead zone, whereas 60% of the wide receivers hit in the dead zone.
Yeah. And it used to be a clear advantage back then because running backs were pushed up to just fade the dead zone altogether. But prior to 2025, because like we said, we contextualize 2025 big-time wide receiver apocalypse. All the top guys ended up fading. And conversely, wide receivers in the dead zone paid off. Obviously, if all the top names are getting hurt, guys going in rounds four to seven are going to outperform what they typically do. If you look at 2023 and 2024, 50%, 57.14%. That's trending up. We see the years prior between 2015 and 2022, only two separate years of over 40% and 23 and 24 the highest at 50 and 57.14%. What seems more likely from an a progression standpoint, from a pattern standpoint? Following the trend going into 2025, acknowledging that 2025 was an extreme outlier, or looking at 2025 dead ass and saying, "Hey, this is going to happen again this year?"
Yeah. Last year, Danny, only one running back drafted in rounds four through seven ended up finishing as an RB2 or better. It was DeAndre Swift. The other guys that hit in the late rounds were going after the dead zone. Javonte Williams, Travis Etienne, Jaylen Warren, those type of guys. All the other like four or seven round running backs were like your Chuba Hubbards of the world, your Aaron Jones, Alvin Kamara's of the world, and they all busted in spectacular fashion, basically. So in 2025, that is not the case. I look at the ADP and I go, Travis Etienne, Javonte Williams, Bucky Irving, Trevion Henderson, Quinshon Judkins, Breece Hall, Jadarian Price, David Montgomery, DeAndre Swift. You got tons of good teams, good running backs, guys who have pass-catching upside, guys who are young players who are ascending. You can definitely talk yourself into the first 11 or 12 receivers being much heavier of a gap between the rest of the receivers than the other way around at running back. Dude, it's why when you get into round four and you look at the receiver board and you're like, "Oh god, these guys are just so much worse projections than the guys that go at the top." Versus that running back, like you said, Javonte Williams, RB1 of a top-five level offense. Kyren Williams, a guy that's been an RB1 for how many years in a row is going off the board in the mid to late third. Like, there are just so many good running back clicks in my opinion between rounds three and seven. I mean, even when you go down the board, a guy like Jaylen Warren, Jaylen Warren in 2016 might have been a round three pick and you can get him in the sixth round.
Yeah. Again, if we're trying to predict what you and I are going to be talking about this time next year, it wouldn't shock me, Danny, if we're saying, "Yeah, running backs outperformed wide receivers in the dead zone." Again, it was just like 2023 and 2024 where they were producing what, a 53% win rate on average over that two-calendar season. So, again, this is a this is a baller strategy. This is a new-age strategy. We're going to rank all the strategies, but this one's going to be really fun to see play out in the mock, uh, where I'm going to be picking early and you're going to be picking a little bit later on the board.
Yeah. Yeah. And personally, this is one of my favorite strategies this year because ultimately, I do think if you draft your receivers early, you still get running back profiles you believe in. It creates one of the strongest balances of teams in my opinion in terms of structure.
Yeah. And of course, the, um, the position, uh, flexibility that you have in your specific league is going to matter for any draft strategy. So again, if you're in a standard, you know, one, uh, two running back, two wide receiver, one flex, hero wide receiver is not the optimal strategy. You need running backs in that format. And of course, you can use our draft sheets to customize your your rankings or our rankings based on the strategy that you're using. So, if you're in a 12-team ESPN league, two running back, two wide receiver, one tight end, and two flex, the rankings will change based on if you're in a three wide receiver, three flex, for example, because receivers are going to be really pushed up the board in that type of format, and you're going to see that play out in the rankings. So, that is something to pay attention to. Obviously, you can get our draft sheets by getting the season pass. And of course, uh, you'll get access to the, uh, consensus ADP depending on the platform you're using. All of our rankings, our draft guides are all live for all your favorite creators, and you can get access to that using the link in the description. But Danny, let's get into the mock here. We're going to be picking from 104, which is generally a wide receiver pick, guy you're going to get really high-end. And then 108, which for you, because you're so high on CeeDee Lamb and St. Brown's obviously on the board there as well, you're probably going to be taking a receiver in the first round. One of us is going to do the double hero wide receiver. We don't know which one yet. See how the board falls. And one of us is going to be doing kind of just a single hero wide receiver. And as you mentioned, when you go single hero wide receiver, you have more flexibility to take some running backs early. You have more flexibility to maybe deviate for an elite onesie potentially as well. So, let's get into the draft here. Uh, it goes as you know, bog standard here. I grabbed Puka Nacua as my hero wide receiver, and, uh, we'll see what falls to you. And Lamb actually gets sniped from me. So, it looks like you're going with St. Brown here.
Which makes sense. It's the FSE consensus. I have him at five. So, it kind of buoys that up, but I'm totally fine taking him or St. Brown, too. Same tier for me.
All right. So, we'll see what happens in the second round. It looks like you got a running back falling back to you if you want to go with Saquon Barkley. Or you could go with the double hero wide receiver and take an AJ Brown type or a Devonta Smith type. Or maybe you're higher on Kenneth Walker than I am.
Well, that's the thing, right? I am running a hero running back. My highest-rated running back here is Kenneth Walker. So, I'll actually be going with Kenneth Walker.
There you go. So, I might be going with the double hero wide receiver strategy here. I mean, Derrick Henry did fall to me, so I could go with the regular hero wide receiver if I really want to.
Maybe.
Rasheed Rice is my highest-rated player, period. Nico Collins, my second highest-rated player, period.
I think I'm going to be able to get one of. I don't know, this might be sketch.
Passing up would be ballsy.
Yeah, I, you know what? I'm comfortable taking Kyren in the third round if he is my best available running back to me. And I really want to exemplify kind of why the mid rounds. Did I just get auto-picked? Okay. I guess I'm going Jeremiah Love. So, we'll just, we'll just roll with the regular hero wide receiver here. Um,
You could take one here.
Yeah.
T. Higgins.
I'll just, I'm going to grab Breece Hall is my highest-rated player. I'm going to grab Breece here. So, I'm going with the the bog standard hero wide receiver. Maybe you're going with the double hero here. Yeah, I guess, uh, zigging while other zags. Typically I would want, you know, the, the Nico Collins, the Rasheed Rice plus as my second hero, but, um, yeah, uh, this, this is going to be tougher now at this portion of the board. Actually, you know what? My highest-rated player is going to be Cole Kmet. So, for the purpose of this video and knowing that Danny Bot picks after me, I'm going to see what it looks like with the elite onesie because we mentioned up top that if you're building this build as a normal hero wide receiver, you can deviate for the elite onesie. If I wasn't yapping, I would have taken a receiver at my second pick. So,
Yeah, no, you're totally good. Uh, I'm back on the clock here and my highest-rated running back would be down the board. And to be honest, I have him ranked at 47 right now, but I'm going to play into the aspect that maybe later on in the offseason with the positive buzz, Breece Hall's going to find his way as a fourth-round ADP. So, I'll take him here just for the purpose of the structure.
Yeah. So, both of us are running your your bog standard, uh, hero wide receivers here. Um, my highest-rated players are generally running backs. Like I have Swift, Montgomery, TreVeyon Henderson as some of my highest-rated running backs. Terry McLaurin, one of my highest-rated receivers. Again, I'm going to play into the aspect of, hey, the running back position is really starting to bounce back lately. So, I'm going to go with a guy who's got a little bit better of an early season projection in DeAndre Swift because I have Jeremiah Love and Breece Hall who might take a little bit of time to get going because of the Jets having a new quarterback and offense and then Jeremiah Love being a rookie.
For sure. So, uh, we are all or we are both running the hero wide receiver. Um, I guess, uh, if you want to say a comparison, maybe Sammy is running the, uh, double hero, I guess, with Nico and Rice.
Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Um, I'm going to grab, uh, I'll grab Romeo Doubs here as my highest-rated receiver. And, um, again, with the hero wide receiver, kind of the basis of the strategy, too, is that you, you do feel confident in your ability to get wide receivers between rounds five to nine, as well.
Yeah. Yeah. And also, I just realized Zach is actually the prime double hero, uh, example here for sure.
Yeah. There we go. Yeah. Zack Bot's running the JSN, AJ Brown start, and then he's going to kind of fill out his his running backs with Jacobs and Scaturbrooks. Again, if you believe in those running backs, then you can absolutely talk yourself into, you know, the tiebreak of the receiver over the running back early.
For sure. I'm going to deviate from my second receiver. Jordan Tyson is the type of upside shot in my opinion. I have my strong anchor with Amon-Ra. Built out my other pieces with the running backs in Kmet. I do think upside at wide receiver 2 is a nice spot in the sixth round.
Yeah. Um, what do I want to do here? Based on my rankings, QJ is my highest-rated receiver. So that's the direction I'm going to go because I'm not super enamored with taking the quarterback there. And all the QBs went, which kind of does make my decision a little easier. I think I might have a chance of getting Justin Herbert with my next pick to be honest with you. So, I'm going to actually kind of, following the the playbook of the the double hero or the hero wide receiver is like you want to get your receivers after some of the best running back projections are off the board. I don't really like any of the running back projections left. So, I'm going to grab DK Metcalf here as my fourth receiver. So, I even despite going with the double hero or the hero wide receiver, I still have like a decision to be made in my flex of like QJ versus Metcalf or Swift or whatever.
Yeah. And I'm, uh, I'm not as high on the ex, uh, as the experts on this guy. But I do think late seventh round, uh, my next highest-rated receiver is still Alec Pierce. So, a little bit of risk, but at the same time, because I'm strong at running back, because I have an elite onesie, I'm totally fine grabbing him as an upside receiver three on my team. And I will wrap back around and wanted Sam LaPorta to potentially fall. Unfortunately, he didn't. I will grab Ricky Pearsall. There you go.
Some upside.
Yeah. And, um, I already have three running backs. I have four receivers. I do think from like an optimal perspective, it can be optimal to fade both tight end and quarterback because there's very good chance that you're going to still get good value anyways at those positions if you fade them completely. So, I'm just going to basically start filling out bench players here. And I have some riskier receivers in QJ and Odunze. So, I'm going to grab like a bit of a safer guy in Courtland Sutton here. And also knowing that I might grab his quarterback with this pick, which I will be grabbing. So, I'll grab Bo Nix to stack up with him and Nix will be my QB that I roll with. I feel confident that I can still get a half-decent tight end in the next round.
Yeah, knowing that the also FSE bot sniping Jonathan Brooks is not fun. Um, knowing that, um, I still like a bunch of the quarterbacks on the board. It's kind of a flat tier in my opinion. I think I'm the only team in the room without a quarterback. I will punt it one more pick and grab Xavier Worthy with the hopes that maybe Mahomes falls back to me. Yeah, I think he probably should in most cases. Even Purdy fell back, too. And you have Pierce, too, so you can even go in that direction.
Let's put one more pick. I don't think these guys are going to select backup quarterbacks and the the value of being the last team off the board without a quarterback is that you can kind of push the push the envelope a little bit. I think Jordan Mason's a strong projection and a 10th round is very, uh, reasonable in terms of cost here.
Not only that, but you have three stacking partners available to you because you also have St. Brown. So, you could take Goff later if you really, really wanted to punt the quarterback position. So,
Looking nice. Yeah, I'm at, I'm on the board at tight end and, um, again, when you look at the board and you, like I faded tight end into oblivion. It's a 10th round and I still see Jake Ferguson, Travis Kelce, Dalton Kincaid, and Isaiah Likely on the board. I'm not picking one yet either.
Uh, I don't think I need to take one yet. So, I'm going to grab, I'll grab, uh, an upside shot a little bit in Chris Rodriguez here. See if maybe he works into the Jaguars backfield. I think I can still get a tight end here. And I do still get a tight end. My highest-rated tight end is Jake Ferguson. The experts agree, uh, he's the highest-rated tight end. I still feel confident in his abilities to command targets for the Cowboys. So, I'm going to grab him. I might, because I went really late at tight end, I can always take another tight end late as an upside swing like a Kenyan Drake or something like that, which I'll probably end up doing if I don't like the rest of the board.
Yeah, I think that makes sense. Uh, it looks like Jaylen Coker went off the board. Actually, I didn't catch that. Um, I'm going to punt in one more pick just because I think I can. I'm going to go Denzel Boston for more receiver upside fill out because like I said, uh, after Amon-Ra St. Brown, I know this is going to be the weakness on my team and I was right. None of the quarterbacks ended up going. I will take one of them here just for the purpose of value. Um, because I'm probably going to need to start one in week one, even though I have Mahomes the highest of this group in my overall rankings. I think Brock Purdy is a totally fine capitulation here.
Yeah, you could probably take Purdy for what it's worth or Mahomes with your next pick for what it's worth. And similar to what I did with tight end, like I look at the board and I go,
I mean, if Jake Ferguson doesn't work out, I cut bait with him. I spent an 11th round pick on the guy. It's not that big of a deal. But if Jake Ferguson doesn't work out, I'm not going to have a tight end to start. So, what I'm going to do here is take Isaiah Likely, who could really start out strong, especially with Malik Nabers on the mend potentially at the beginning of the season. Between one of those two guys, I'm going to have probably close to an every-week starter at the tight end position, which again, when you look at the quarterbacks and you look at the tight ends in fantasy this year and you go, dude, I could just take two guys round 11 and beyond and feel very good about them and fade that position early in the draft. I think that's a really decent strategy. So, I'm going to go back to the running back and wide receiver. Well, and, uh, I'll take, um, I'll go with Keaton Allen. Go with an upside swing at the running back position.
Yeah, and all the quarterbacks are going off the board. So thankfully I did grab my Brock Purdy. Um, I was thinking about potentially selecting a second, but apparently that's kind of off the menu now. Um,
Again, the way that our our draft simulator is functioning is that generally by round 13, if teams don't have a second quarterback, they'll start taking it. Maybe we should talk to the devs about that and and tell them, hey, probably don't make them all go in round 13. Like maybe start 30% of the bots will take them in round 12, another 20% take them in round 13, and then the rest of them will take them with their last pick or something like that.
Which is fine. I'm just going to have to accept that the, uh, the review afterwards isn't going to favor me because they love taking teams with two quarterbacks and ranking them higher. Um, I'll go Jaylen Wright as an upside receiver here.
Yeah. Yeah. So, I'm on the board. Again, I'm not going to go with another tight end even though I have two weaker guys. Uh, I'll just take an upside swing on Elijah Sarratt because I like him as a later-round receiver. And, uh, yeah, we'll get to the post-draft review again. Maybe we make some suggestions to the devs because again, in sharper leagues,
Um,
I notice it's smart to take a second quarterback because there's going to be guys on the waiver wire. So you did do the right, both of us did the right thing by just taking Bo Nix or just taking Brock Purdy because if Bo Nix and Brock Purdy have a couple of duds early on in the season, you can pick up, you know, Jordan Love off of the waiver wire and start streaming him or you can pick up Cam Ward's breaking out and you can pick him up off the waiver wire or whatever. So, there's no real reason for you to draft a second quarterback unless you're going to take, you know, just a falling value on a Mahomes or a Goff or whatever.
Well, I think that's the one incongruity I would say between our rankings versus, uh, the Analyzer is that I notice the Analyzer very, very much values having that second quarterback. And it's probably because most of us have quarterbacks 12th to 16th ranked relatively high in our rankings because theoretically, if you're punting quarterback, we're still fine waiting till pick 105 for Brock Purdy. But maybe in the Analyzer, it's like, oh, well, this guy just got two top 105 values at quarterback and this guy waited until around 12 to get his starter. So, it's going to be kind of, you know, discombobulated on the on the graph. But,
Yeah, so painting the picture that this hero wide receiver works out for me. I mean, hero wide receiver is kind of from the frame of mind that like you got the guy that you had to have and Puka Nacua last year was the guy that you had to have pretty much at wide receiver and I get him again here. Theoretically, Romeo Doubs, QJ, Metcalf, and Sutton, I'm just going to play matchups with in my other receiver spot and probably one if not both of my flexes, but Jeremiah Love, Breece Hall, and DeAndre Swift probably are are every-week starters for me. So again, a lot of the basis of this strategy is that you're taking players in the mid-rounds who you think are the best player on the board. And if you consistently through doing lock drafts and using our site or whatever feel that in round two, round three, round four, round five, round six, the best players on the board are often running backs, then yeah, hero wide receiver makes a lot of sense for you because you can get two, three, maybe even four running backs in the mid-rounds and still feel confident that if you're, you know, you like the Alec Pierce, Michael Wilson's of the world, maybe you could take those guys to fill out your wide receiver core. And like you said, essentially treat wide receiver 2 as maybe the weakest portion of your team, knowing that also too, there's always a lot of big waiver adds that come up beginning of the year like a Quentin Johnston last year at wide receiver.
Yeah. And if you go and sort by my team as well, um, very similar in that structure. Um, so I'm number three by my rankings. Uh, weighted at quarterback, still got a projection in my opinion that can near or even surpass 19, 20 points per game. We're both high on Brock Purdy. Cole Kmet, actually have ranked as my tight end two. So people might have seen the mock thinking, "Oh, well, Cole Kmet, I can usually get in the fourth round, maybe mid to late fourth round." And maybe in some leagues you can. I know in the Flock League specifically, he's probably going to be gone by the top 36. And like I said, I have him ranked straight up over McBride, so I have no issues taking him in the mid to late portion of the third. Uh, wide receiver, got my hero with Amon-Ra St. Brown, built out the receiver core with upside after him. Uh, Jordan Tyson, obviously rookie upside there, fast-paced offense with the Saints. Alec Pierce, obviously the injury concerns, but we saw how good he was down the field last year. Ricky Pearsall, kind of feels like the, I guess like the post-hype sleeper of this year. We everybody was very excited about him last year. He gets really, to be honest.
Um, yeah, both of them for that matter. And then obviously with the upside, Denzel Boston receiver, big, uh, big size plays on the outside. Jaylen Wright, kind of taking my stab at the wide receiver two with the Texans. And then a running back, despite waiting, I would say to fill my RB2 like Breece Hall, theoretically round four, going to be one of the weaker RB2s. I love how I rounded this core. Kenneth Walker as my main hero there. Breece Hall, in my opinion, very, very high upside. A lot of positive reviews from Liam Coen in the last week or so. J.D. Price, um, if his main competition for touches is George Holani, early respectfully, I don't have any concerns about his role. Jordan Mason, Brian Robinson, filling out my running back core. Really like how I landed the paint, uh, landed the plane with this team.
Yeah, I would have maybe weaved in another boring receiver pick instead of Worthy or Pierce, but other than that, I don't really have any complaints with how you built that thing out. But, uh, yeah, that is the hero and maybe double hero wide receiver strategy if you're looking at what the Zack Bot was doing throughout the draft. Um, again, definitely more of like a galaxy brain ball-knower strategy, but I do think it could be very effective depending on the draft room and depending especially on what you think of the running backs going between rounds four to seven or so, uh, traditionally known as the running back dead zone.
