Choose your own adventure books were a big part of my early childhood. And choices are a something we all want — even when we look to others for answers. This year, yours truly has created three draft plans based on your risk tolerance as a fantasy player: conservative, moderate, and high risk-reward.
The players are listed in order of preference by round. Depending on the risk profile of the adventure, some players will be higher or lower in one plan than they are in another.
These plans are best for 12-team, serpentine drafts with PPR scoring and at least 3 receivers and 2 running backs as part of the starting lineup requirements.
Profile of the Moderate-Risk Draft
The conservative draft plan has a series of underlying characteristics that differentiate it from the conservative and high risk-reward plans:
- The amount of eligible players in the first 12 rounds is greater than the conservative plan but smaller than the high-risk plan.
- It values proven producers but also talent in safe-looking situations.
- The plan doesn't have as many concerns about player age.
- The plan has some players recuperating from injuries if they are proven, producers.
- There are selective recommendations to go beyond the player's average draft position in the early and middle rounds..
Most of you will identify with the moderate plan. However, it's often the plans at the far end of each spectrum that give fantasy players the greatest opportunity to excel so it's worth your time to examine these other plans and run a few mock drafts with each to determine where you truly fit.
As is the case with every draft plan, if a player falls from an earlier tier to a later one, he should remain near the top of your list. Spend a few minutes mapping out potential rosters with these lists. I recommend using Draft Dominator mock drafts to determine when it's best to target running backs, tight ends, and quarterback because there aren't as many running back options with this plan as others.

Round 1 Commentary: In contrast to the conservative plan, David Johnson and Melvin Gordon earn consideration in this tier. The offensive lines aren't great but their talent and past production are good enough to take a chance. Although Kamara is on the conservative plan, Johnson's upside is a little higher because the Saints seem set on balancing Kamara's workload with another runner even while Mark Ingram is serving his suspension. Antonio Brown also earns a look during the early turn because he's such a proven producer. He arguably could be taken this early in the conservative plan as well, but it's important that conservative drafters get a back in the first round based on the selection of the plan's draft pool.

Round 2 Commentary: In contrast to the conservative plan, Gronkowski earns consideration with Kelce in the second round. Freeman also gets added to the list with Howard, which gives the moderate-risk drafter more options to begin their draft. Do you want to start with a pair of backs? There are enough choices to do it. You could also mix and match a variety of non-quarterback options.

Round 3 Commentary: If you're drafting at the early turn, odds are likely Kelce will fall to you here. If you like to go for backs early, consider taking Kelce here and opting for the values at wide receiver throughout the draft. If you want to start heavy at wide receiver, these are all strong choices. Collins also presents a great choice for a safe back if you haven't picked one yet.

Round 4 Commentary: It's a pretty self-explanatory list. Depending on your draft spot, you have a shot at nabbing a top-12 producer at running back and receiver if you can finagle Collins and Jones in the fourth and fifth rounds.

Round 5: If taking a tight end within the first three rounds is too much Bloomian Fantasy Bacchanalia for your taste but you want an option with that kind of upside. Evan Engram and Jimmy Graham are smart choices here. Most of you following this plan will wait on quarterbacks but if you want to beat the position run, consider taking a passer between the fifth and eighth round.

Round 6 Commentary: Lynch and Freeman are highly recommended here — and you haven't had any truly risky options up to this point. If you embrace 1-2 risks every 5-6 rounds, you won't exceed the bounds of this plan's philosophy. If you are opting for an Upside Down Draft Strategy (UDD), you want three of Lynch-Freeman-Johnson-Lewis-Coleman between rounds 5-7. If you've taken two runners early, it's still wise to follow up with a third back with high upside and a high floor. These backs all qualify.

Round 8 Commentary: This is the last chance to take a quarterback before the run usually begins. Stafford is a great choice. If you want a high-risk, swing for the fences because you haven't gone there yet, Nelson is the recommendation. If you want to sneaky-good red zone surprise, go with Kupp. He'll figure more into the Rams red zone plans that most realize.

Round 9 Commentary: If your mocks realistically land you Stafford in the ninth round and you know when your competition goes for a quarterback, by all means, wait until now. If you can get Stafford, I recommend back-to-back selections of Goff or Mahomes and follow with Rivers. Ryan also works even if his upside is a has greater volatility due to the young, talented, and unproven offensive weapons he'll target when he looks away from Julio Jones.

Round 11 Commentary: If you don't like renting defenses, consider taking one now so you can expend more mental energy elsewhere. Why throw another complication into your waiver wire prioritization when you don't have to? If that question resonates with you, consider taking during the next 2-3 rounds.

Round 13 Commentary: Ronald Jones should eventually be good but fantasy football will be over in March. Take Barber because he's a good "bad-line" runner and despite the outdated "yards per carry" analysis that is thrown at Barber's game, he's a good decision-maker with power, balance, and agility. He has also gotten quicker. If you want a safer pick with a little less upside, Powell is also worth your time. You may have to consider Keelan Cole here if you really want him.
After this point, the conservative, moderate, and high-risk plans will begin to look a lot like because there's greater variability with average draft position and the later you get into the draft the more every plan should embrace depth and upside at non-quarterback positions.

Round 19 Commentary: Some of my favorite upside picks are Brown, Pettis, and Jackson. If Robinson is still here and you aren't a believer, it's time to take a risk. You also have to consider options like James Washington of Pittsburgh and Jake Kumerow of Green Bay.

Round 20 Commentary: See Round 19.
Early draft spot Moderate-Risk Sample team (1st Spot)
I took three running backs in the first five rounds with this draft and still landed a receiving corps that I feel good about.
- Todd Gurley
- Travis Kelce
- Jordan Howard
- Marvin Jones
- Jay Ajayi
- Sammy Watkins
- Robert Woods
- Marshawn Lynch
- Jordy Nelson
- Philip Rivers
- Patrick Mahomes
- LA Rams Def
- Keelan Cole
- Cameron Meredith
- Peyton Barber
- LeGarrette Blount
- Anthony Miller
- Matt Prater
- John Kelly
- Keke Coutee
middle draft spot Moderate-Risk Sample team (7th Spot)
This is a fun squad although a little higher than moderate risk because I waited until the final rounds to select a tight end. I'm thrilled with the receivers, quarterbacks, and running backs. Nick Chubb is a flyer on talent at a good price. The rest are really sensible picks based on talent, situation, and value.
- DeAndre Hopkins
- Michael Thomas
- Jordan Howard
- Alex Collins
- Sammy Watkins
- Royce Freeman
- Marshawn Lynch
- Robert Woods
- Philip Rivers
- Patrick Mahomes
- LA Rams Def
- Keelan Cole
- Cameron Meredith
- Nick Chubb
- Peyton Barber
- Chris Godwin
- Harrison Butker
- Samaje Perine
- Ricky Seals-Jones
- Jake Butt
late draft spot Moderate-Risk Sample team (12th Spot)
With a high-risk plan, I'd probably forego Ajayi in the fourth and Woods in the eighth. However, this is a more balanced team on paper.
- Odell Beckham, Jr.
- Michael Thomas
- Alex Collins
- Jay Ajayi
- Sammy Watkins
- Marshawn Lynch
- Jordan Reed
- Robert Woods
- Jared Goff
- Philip Rivers
- LA Rams Def
- Paul Richardson
- Frank Gore
- Peyton Barber
- Chris Godwin
- Anthony Miller
- Harrison Butker
- John Kelly
- Vernon Davis
- Dante Pettis
