- Jahmyr Gibbs is a steal in the middle of the first round: Gibbs scored the most points among running backs in PPR leagues last season, and his role could expand with a new offensive coordinator this season.
- 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 4-7: Draft a running back or wide receiver
It is generally better to have Pick 4 or 5 rather than Pick 6 or 7 because you should have the chance to pick Jahmyr Gibbs. Otherwise, several wide receivers will be available. While they might not be the best value relative to ADP, they are still the best options in the middle parts of the draft if Gibbs isn’t available.
