Potential options: Dameon Pierce, Chris Godwin, George Pickens Round 5 (5.07) – Michael Pittman Jr., WR IND Plus, the bonus of pairing him with Hill. Yes, he comes with his risk, but when he is healthy and on the field, he has QB1 upside to his game. In Superflex, Tua makes so much sense as a QB2 for a fantasy team. There is no point in reaching for a running back and continuing to build the rest of your team with depth and future value. If you can make it out of round four without taking a running back, then you’ll be fine over the next few rounds. Potential options: TJ Hockenson, Rhomondre Stevenson Wilson gives me a solid young receiver to pair with an elite stud in Hill. Wilson was the obvious choice, with Aaron Rodgers hoping by the time you read this article will be a Jet. Jacobs is on the wrong side of 25 for my liking, and Harris is 25 years old already and likely has only two more years of elite opportunity. I also had another opportunity to draft two strong running backs to add to my team. In the third round, I had choices to make as Kelce is a game changer at this position, even in his middle 30s. Potential options: Travis Kelce, Josh Jacobs, Najee Harris He is a solid WR1 to have in fantasy over the next few seasons. I decided to select Hill and the explosive offense he is a part of. Walker is my RB1 in dynasty right now, and if I were going Hero dynasty RB, he would be my choice in this round. Ekeler would have been solid, but he is getting older and exploring a new team. In round two, I had two outstanding running backs to select, Ekeler and Walker. Potential options: Amon-Ra St.Brown, Austin Ekeler, Kenneth Walker Running backs have more of a two to four-year window, and with a first-round pick doesn’t make sense.

The reason because quarterbacks have a six to ten-year window to production, and receivers have a four to six-year window. I’d never take a running back in the first round I’d always go quarterback or receiver in any Superflex league. Fortunately, I was gifted with Hebert falling due to Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase going ahead. I made it slightly more complicated to do the zero RB strategy sitting at the seventh seed. Potential options: Justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence & Lamar Jackson

I will explain each of the 15 rounds, which players could have been available, and why I chose who I chose. I did a 15-round dynasty mock draft in a 12-team league and took my first running back in the eighth round of the draft. This is especially true for Superflex/TE premium leagues which is the coming norm for the dynasty. Early in my dynasty experience, I learned that taking elite running backs in the startup draft matters less. My newest article gives a zero RB strategy to a dynasty startup mock.
