Why you should draft a running back in the first round of your fantasy football draft

Since I started playing this maddening game in the mid 90’s there has always been a couple axioms regarding the first round: (1) draft a RB in the first round and (2) don’t draft a QB in the first round. To this day these axioms stand and I’m going to tell you why. Of course there are caveats.

Yes you should draft a RB in the first round…if one of the top X is available. ‘X’ of course changes from year to year. Same with whether to draft a QB in the first round…it depends on your draft position.
