Running backs to target if you go WR early in fantasy football

The best fantasy football draft strategy is a flexible approach. Going into a draft with just one strategy in mind isn’t going to provide you with long-term success.

Every year, some follically challenged scribe lists his favorite underpriced names he believes are destined to torch the competition.
