I go into every draft hoping to get Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews. ![]() The same is true if I miss out on the top-10 TEs or so (although that is far less ideal than waiting on a QB, which I’ll discuss in a bit). If I end up waiting on QB, then I’ll take an extra RB or WR based on the best available player on my board. For instance, last season the median games missed was one for a starting WR but three for a starting RB. RB depth is crucial because RBs miss more games than other positions. Regarding the split of RBs to WRs, I find that drafting less than three RBs in 12-team leagues or less than four in 10-team leagues will leave me with too little depth relative to my league mates. In order to optimize my starting lineup and usable early-season depth, I want to make sure I draft as many of these players as possible before they’re gone – which will happen by the end of Round 9 in 12-team leagues and Round 10 in 10-team leagues – while also leaving room for a starting-caliber QB1 and TE1. ![]() There are roughly 40 RBs and 40 WRs which you can reasonably expect to provide a startable Week 1 floor. At least 4 RB, 4 WRs through the first 10 rounds in 10-team leagues.At least 3 RB, 4 WR through the first 9 rounds in 12-team leagues.(Note: This applies to traditional redraft formats that start one QB, are 10 or 12 teams, and use half or full PPR scoring.) Part of that is simply picking the right players – and for that you can check out my projections and rankings – but the other part is knowing how to optimally construct a team. The perfect fantasy football strategy is all about maximizing your upside while minimizing the risk of your team as a whole.
