Josh Allen led QBs with 364.62 fantasy points last season, yet the depth at quarterback means many teams can start a solid option like him or Jared Goff, who finished in the top‑10 for four straight years.

Running back is the true battleground this year. Derrick Henry remains a reliable volume player, while James Cook’s consistent production makes him a lock in early rounds. With the scarcity of quality RBs, managers must grab talent like Henry, Cook, and emerging backs such as Javonte Williams to secure a strong flex.

Quarterback depth also opens opportunities. Patrick Mahomes is a must‑draft for his 4,000‑passing‑yard ceiling, and Goff’s consistency makes him a low‑risk, high‑reward pick. In superflex formats, new starters like Kyler Murray and Tyler Shough offer upside.

The key is to capitalize on undervalued players early, especially at RB, and to be patient at QB while building around volume performers.
