- Ja’Marr Chase is the top option at 1.01: Chase was the clear top wide receiver last season and enough stayed the same for the Cincinnati Bengals that we can expect minimal regression.
- Pick a quarterback like Jayden Daniels early: By adding one or more players who are the best at their position, it’s easier to stockpile players at other positions.

Round 1, Picks 1-3: Draft a running back or wide receiver
The first pick should simply be drafting the best available player. That is Ja’Marr Chase if he’s available. If not, Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs are the wise choices. In a 10-team league, it’s relatively easy to pivot based on this selection regardless of the platform.
