Drafting Strategy for No. 7 Pick in PPR Fantasy Football Leagues

The No. 7 pick in a 12-team PPR fantasy football league presents unique drafting opportunities. If the first six selections include players like Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson, the decision may come down to choosing between running backs Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor.

In a recent mock draft, McCaffrey was selected fifth overall, allowing the author to draft Amon-Ra St. Brown at No. 7. St. Brown has consistently performed well, averaging 18.8 PPR points per game over the past three seasons. The author expressed a preference for Taylor, citing concerns about McCaffrey's age and heavy workload from the previous season.

The draft strategy involved selecting a balanced roster, with notable picks including Derrick Henry and DeVonta Smith in subsequent rounds. The author emphasized the importance of adapting the strategy based on the players available after the first round, aiming for a mix of reliable starters and potential breakout candidates.
