As the faces of both the NFL and fantasy football have changed, more and more fantasy managers are attacking the wide receiver position early. Most leagues require at least three weekly starters, and PPR scoring is more rule than exception.
There were a pair of running backs who went early in Round 3 who could make a WR/WR draft start much more palatable.
Josh Jacobs of the Green Bay Packers was sixth in the NFL in carries with 301, sixth in the league in rushing yards with 1,329 and sixth among all RBs in PPR points. He should again be heavily involved in Green Bay's offense this year.
Once Chase Brown of the Bengals became the featured back in Cincinnati, he was highly productive—from Week 8 on, he scored double-digit PPR points and ranked sixth in PPR points among running backs.
Getting either as a potential RB1 in Round 3 is good value.
Another round, another pivot.
