Anyone thinking of using zero WR theory?

[Go long 0]

I am in a 12 team non-ppr keeper league and we can keep 3 guys but you cannot keep anyone that was drafted in the 1st round the previous year.  We can keep them for 3 years.  My keepers are Kamara with my 11th round pick and Mahomes with my 8th round pick.  Also keeping Lat Murray with my 15th.

I have no 2nd round pick and the 11th pick in the first round in a snake draft.

I was leaning taking Julio or Odell with the 1st round pick.  Is this still the right move or should I consider Gurley or Dalvin Cook and locking up my RB's early and then in 3rd, 4th and 5th get my WR's?

Any thoughts?  If I take a WR at 1 than I will see the likes of Josh Jacobs, maybe Kerryon or Ingram but may be doubtful.

Non ppr I like Rbs. 

But this issue is simply answered by your own personal rankings.

I think what you have planned will work.  Getting either Julio or O'Dell will work fine.  Zero WR is viable strategy in both non-PPR and PPR.  However, as many will maintain, being flexible at the time of the draft is essential.  I went zero WR in a 1/2 PPR league last year and lost in the championship game, mainly due to Gurley getting hurt.  However, it's a strategy that can work depending on how the draft unfolds.
