Unless you have a top 3-5 pick there is a pretty good case to be made to wait to draft an RB. With the continued propensity to move towards RBBC (or at the very least more of a concerted effort to not run a stud RB into the ground) it seems that in PPR leagues RBs have really become the support for your fantasy team while the WRs and TEs have become the big hitters. With this in mind since i have the 8th pick in a 12 team PPR league I ran some mocks with the Draft Dominator to see who I could get. Mileage will vary but with the DD drafting by Consensus ADP and me materially being in line with ADP with all of my picks, the below is the type of team you can draft.
I have taken the philosohpy of getting RBBC guys who are cheaper while focusing early rounds of proven studs at TE and WR who will be the bulk of scoring for the team. Of course waiting on QB, PK, and DT.
While some will still be stuck in drafting stub RBs (and if you have a top 3 pick you're probably best drafting a RB there and then waiting on the balance) but after that I think people drafting RBs in the late 1st, and 2-4 rounds will be disappointed overall with what they could have had in WRs or a TE.
Was drafting with a start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 PK, 1 DT in mind. PPR scoring, everything else standard.
1.08 J Graham TE
2.05 A Brown WR
3.08 A Johnson WR
4.05 TY Hilton WR
5.08 T Gerhart RB
6.05 K Wright WR
7.08 P Thomas RB
8.05 D Woodhead RB
9.08 D Freeman RB
10.05 A Dalton QB
11.08 B Roethlesberger QB
12.05 B Hartline WR
13.08 R Streater WR
14.05 H Miller TE
15.08 M Lee WR
16.05 M Crosby PK
17.08 Steelers DT
18.05 J Todman RB
