Fantasy football draft strategy emphasizes balance, targets high-upside running backs and receivers

Elite running backs like Christian McCaffrey and Austin Ekeler are top choices, but injury risk is a concern.
Targeting upside plays like Justin Fields or breakout candidates can provide value in mid-to-late rounds.
Positional balance is key, with depth available at WR and potential sleepers at QB and TE.
Rookies like Breece Hall and Jaxon Smith-Njigba have upside but have dealt with injuries in camp.
Veteran RBs like Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook face increased competition for touches.
