Cj Stroud vs Pitts, elite RBs, WRs

[jponte3]

Back end of round 2 in a 12 team superflex 5 point passing td with 3 point 300 yard bonus, 100 yard receiving/rushing bonus 1/2 point ppr. 1.25 ppr for TE.
After locking up the elite qb in round 1, Curious if people would prefer to build around a qb like stroud who appears to be the likely best available at this point, start the run on TE with pitts with a solid TEP, WRs in the range of Smith, Devonta, higgins, JSN etc or consider a RB like JT if still available. I do typically stay away from RBs in the first couple of rounds at this point to not lock myself into win now mode at such an early round but could appreciate any feedback.
Thanks again.

Taylor, Pitts (in the format) and Smith are all better options than Stroud. Stroud has very limited rushing ability which is a major issue in fantasy now.

To best address this, I'd take into account starting requirements (which would affect the trade market, once the draft is done) and roster sizes (which will dictate waiver wire strength). I've also heard of capping positional rostering limitations (like no more than 4 QBs in SF, or max of 3 TEs in TEP), so that'd be important to know, too.

Given the info in the OP, I'm passing on a WR early 2nd. In fact, I'd be more likely to push for a trade down over the options listed.

Thank you for the response, to answer your question, there are no limits on any positions and it is 11 starting spots total with no kicker/defense

Stroud. If he earns the starting role, I think at worst we're looking at a Goff/Cousins like fantasy producer. Maybe not his rookie season, but with a couple of good receivers added, Stroud has the makeup to be a consistently good passer. And all signs currently indicate Stroud will be Houston's QB for years. In SF, that outcome would be great.

OTOH, Pitts has to become Kelce to justify picking him this early. I'd much rather wait 2 or 3 rounds and go for Goedert/Hock/Muth/etc.

I'm definitely passing on those WRs if a QB like Stroud is available.

What other QBs are available at this time? If the supply is running low (meaning that by your next pick the options will be a lot worse) that's all the more reason to jump on the opportunity to get Stroud now.

It's definitely not JT for me. If you do take JT I think it pretty much dictates the rest of your draft - you need to try to contend ASAP. Plus any RB taken this high is very risky. Last year at this time folks would have been considering Najee at that place in a start-up. Yikes!

I think you take Stroud. I'm with Anteaters that the floor is pretty high. I don't see a Jake Locker level bust when I look at Stroud. He's a very accurate passer. But I'd be interested to know what other QBs are available and how many picks there are before your round 3 selection. I want the end of a tier of players not the beginning (if possible).

look at TStaff throwing out a Locker Reference! his last sentence is 100% words to live by.

im not building my dynasty team around stroud, take something very proven with pick 2 sir. wasnt long ago people took baker darnold wilson and lance with these types of decisions, its easily avoidable.

you could still go super young and have a 24 year old rb or trade him to a win now team. getting locked into win now 2 picks in isnt the way in my opinion.

Trade down! That’s easily the best option

Stroud is a reach here, he’s not going in the 2nd in most drafts and shouldn’t be… Kyler gone? I like him beater in the early 3rd but like him way more than stroud…

Taylor is the best value listed but I definitely understand not wanting to go rb. If you plan on competing take him, if you want to go young, I say again trade back! If you can’t, go young wr, but it’s not a great spot if those are the ones available.

Have I mentioned trading back???
