The reality of fantasy football drafts is that most managers don’t get a roster they’re completely satisfied with because decisions made early set the tone for the draft. If a fantasy owner takes a running back in the first round, a wide receiver is likely necessary in the second round while the elite receivers are still available.
For this list, there are players who will still be on their board when their positions have already started being pillaged – a quarterback and running back available for those who bided their time when the initial flurry began, a TE2, a WR5, and an unlikely first-strike player at a position that is ignored until late in drafts.
