well I was screaming 2 years ago if everyone remembers how everyone was over drafting wrs and under drafting rbs.
Well what do you know?
The fantasy world has now done a complete 180 and reversed this trend back to the other extreme.
Ive been the guy loading up on rbs the last few years now im gonna be the guy loading up on wrs.
I had the 10th pick in a 10 team league in my local league with fairly above average players and got both Brown and OBJ b2b.
If this draft was 2 years ago they might have went 1 and 2.
You can never stick to a single strategy.
You just have to go against the the annual trend that changes by the year.
There is not much that has changed in the last 2 years.
Just people in this space have no balance in life. Its either one extreme or the other.
When everyone gets tired of running backs busting in the first round again then everyone will over draft wrs again.
Its the same thing over and over.
As far as the question.
Mixon from the Bengals is my prediction for most under drafted player of this season.
I do not like the tier 1 QBs at all.
I can make a strong case for all 4 or 5 of the tier 1 qbs being a bust this season.
So unlike any other year ever I ended up being the guy who drafted QB last.
So my other pick for most under drafted player is Andrew Luck who I drafted after all the other teams had QBs.
Yes he has question marks but so does every single tier 1 qb getting drafted ahead of him. But luck also has the chance to be the #1 qb in all of fantasy this season.
Yes there are risk.
But like i said all the tier 1 qbs are risky this year.
Just take M Ryan or Big Ben for insurance if you take Luck and load up at other positions.

The 180 has nothing to do with a change in philosophy or the correction to an inefficiency though. It has to do with an actual change in performance on the field. 2 years ago WR's like AB, OBJ, Nuk, Julio were crushing and the next wave of dual-threat RB's hadn't really ascended yet (Bell, DJ, Gurley, Kamara)
Now those RB's have ascended and they're basically part RB/part receiver and some of the best WR's have faded due to poor QB play (OBJ, Nuk) or poor coaching in Julio's case with Shanahan gone. So that is why you have the big change in drafting philosophy, because performance has dictated it.
Another thing that no one really talks about is the 2014 draft class looked like it was easily going to be the best WR draft class of all time and a lot of those guys plateaued/faded much earlier than people thought.
