- 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.
- Add a quarterback and tight end early: By finding multiple elite players at both positions, it’s easier to stand out while also stockpiling running backs and wide receivers in the later rounds.

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.
