A guy like Odunze is probably not going crazy this year with the pieces around him. Genuinely feel like having a Ravens stack where there's probably added production to emerge, along with attempting to bank stronger somewhere others haven't is +EV far more than taking stabs on guys to just hope they're the IT factor.
As a general rule of thumb: WRs fantasy pts come from skill and ability whereas rb pts come from opportunity
Not always but as a general rule
That coupled with the fact that RBs get injured at a much higher rate than WRs means that drafting wr early and rb late gives a better opportunity to have lg winners at both wr and rb
That doesn’t mean that other strategies can’t work, but it does mean that they are quite a bit less likely to work
