    Hey guys

    Back for another year of fantasy!

    I'm looking for who you would pick at 4.

    Also a bit of a strategy for the draft and maybe players to target for this season.

    Thanks in advance.

    At the fourth pick I'm using our cheat sheets to get the best running back available!

    1. RB is very very thin.. I'd draft RB in round one for sure and probably round 2 (unless the top 10 backs are gone).
    2. WR is extremely deep. You could easily wait until the 3rd through 6th rounds to fill 2 or 3 WR slots.
    3. Lots of "what if" running backs and tight ends available mid and late in the draft. This is where you'll find your starting TE (Cooks, Fleener, ASJ, Henry, Bennett, Doyle, Fiedorowicz, Allen, Thomas (reconnected with Gase just like Cutler).. I mean seriously wait at TE.

    Kareem Hunt is now a big time possible RB1 and you can draft him in the 3rd and maybe 4/5th depending on how savvy your league mates are. If you miss out on a quality back in the 2nd round I like Hunt in the 4th or 5th.. again it depends if guys are reaching in your draft. Dalvin Cook is another rookie I like at RB and you might can get him in the 4th or 5th - might! depends on your league mate.. check your history and see if these guys are running hard on RB and if they reach for rookie RB's.

    At QB just wait until well after the top 4 or 5 are gone. Avoid Andrew Luck - after the 2nd QB run starts that's when you pounce.

    Love your WR core. care to share your top 50 waiver wire? Kevin White still out there? J Cook? ASJ? Henry's value should rise as the season progresses and Gates is hobbled but until then I think he will be boom or bust each week.

    Is Jordan Howard that high up on anyone's draft board? I've been hearing good things.

    Plus we all know Chicago can't pass.

    Howard is flying off the shelf in the 2nd and 3rd round in most drafts. Bears will be pretty pass happy in garbage time.

    Wire is picked pretty thin but I see some what ifs for sure. Hold with what you got.

    Ted Ginn could end up winning the Saints #2 spot with Snead gone for tge first 3 weeks. Will be interesting to see how that one pans out. I suspect if he can keep his catch rate up he will lock it down and have situational value.

    Marlon Mack (IND RB) is another one to watch in week 1. He offers a ton more upside over Gore. If he is able to pass block you'll see him get more work than Gore. Watch that close week 1 and 2.
