Who should be the first player drafted this year? And do you have a plan in place when you pick at No. 1 overall?

There are some questions about the No. 1 overall selection this year, with the likely choices Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell or Todd Gurley. Average Draft Position on CBS Sports has Brown going first in the majority of leagues, and I agree with those results.

On Wednesday, I did my first #iwannamock, which is where I draft with users throughout the offseason, and it's one of my favorite things to do. I encourage all of you to do as many mock drafts as possible, and you can practice as much as you want right here. I will do #iwannamock at least twice a week, so keep an eye on Twitter @jameyeisenberg when I post the location and time for the draft room if you want to try to participate.

In the first edition, I picked at No. 1 overall, and here's my team:

  • Round 1 - Antonio Brown, WR, Steelers
  • Round 2 - Brandin Cooks, WR, Saints
  • Round 3 - Brandon Marshall, WR, Jets
  • Round 4 - Jay Ajayi, RB, Dolphins
  • Round 5 - Matt Jones, RB, Redskins
  • Round 6 - Karlos Williams, RB, Bills
  • Round 7 - Charles Sims, RB, Buccaneers
  • Round 8 - Ladarius Green, TE, Steelers
  • Round 9 - Carson Palmer, QB, Cardinals
  • Round 10 - Kenyan Drake, RB, Dolphins
  • Round 11 - DeAndre Washington, RB, Raiders
  • Round 12 - Phillip Dorsett, WR, Colts
  • Round 13 - Stephen Gostkowski, K, Patriots
  • Round 14 - Patriots DST

As you can see, I went WR-WR-WR with my first three picks, and this is the second time I've used this strategy at No. 1 overall. And I love the results in standard or PPR leagues.

Having Brown, Cooks and Marshall locks up my two receivers and flex spots, and those three players were all top 25 overall scorers in standard leagues in 2015. They have the chance for a similar finish this year.

In Round 4, it was time to address running back, and I went four picks in a row with Ajayi, Jones, Williams and Sims. Most Fantasy owners won't be comfortable with Ajayi and Jones as starters, but I love the upside for both. I also handcuffed Ajayi with Drake, so now I have the Dolphins backfield locked up.

Williams and Sims are high-end No. 3 Fantasy running backs in great situations. And in Round 6, I nearly had Ameer Abdullah, who was someone I targeted but he was drafted two spots before I got Williams. I also wanted Paul Perkins at the turn in Round 10/11, but he was drafted right before I picked Drake.

The goal for me was three receivers and a fourth with upside (Dorsett) and then quality starters at quarterback (Palmer) and tight end (Green). At running back, I wanted a good group with two or three who have the chance to become top-20 options, and I feel like I accomplished that here.

It would have looked better with Abdullah and Perkins, but not every draft will be perfect. You just make the best of what you end up with, and this team would definitely be competitive. I plan to use WR-WR-WR as often as possible when I pick at No. 1 overall, especially knowing I can get the best player in Brown to start my team.

Now, let's get to this week's #fantasymail, and remember you can submit your questions to me on Twitter @jameyeisenberg or on my Facebook page. Just please use that hashtag when sending in your questions.

This week, we'll cover the following topics:

  • Coby Fleener's outlook for 2016
  • Breakout running back options
  • David Johnson vs. Devonta Freeman
  • Kevin White's value this season
  • Is Clive Walford a sleeper?
  • Keeper question: Golden Tate vs. Emmanuel Sanders

I realize I might be too high on Fleener with his move from the Colts to the Saints, but the reasons you list as detractors aren't accurate. He had three drops in 2015, which was tied for 15th among tight ends, along with Greg Olsen and Delanie Walker. Julius Thomas led all tight ends with seven drops, and Tyler Eifert (six), Eric Ebron (five), Gary Barnidge (four), Travis Kelce (four) and Zach Ertz (four) all had more than Fleener. Now, he was tied for sixth among tight ends for drops in 2014 with five, which was the same amount as Kelce, but Jimmy Graham (eight) and Rob Gronkowski (seven) led the position in that category. As far as his production when Allen was out, let's look at 2014 when Andrew Luck played 16 games. Allen missed four games that season, and Fleener had 18 catches for 355 yards and four touchdowns over that span. He scored at least 14 Fantasy points in a standard league in three of those outings. The Saints just made Benjamin Watson into the No. 8 tight end in standard leagues last season, and Fleener has a higher ceiling. I'll gamble on Fleener in this offense, and I expect him to be a top-five tight end this season.

There are a lot of running backs who fall into this category, especially when you factor in handcuffs if the starters were to go down. Barring injury, the players I could see finish as top 10 running backs in standard leagues would be C.J. Anderson, Latavius Murray, Thomas Rawls, Carlos Hyde and Ryan Mathews based on their ability and opportunity. Some surprise candidates would be Ajayi, Matt Jones, Jeremy Langford, Frank Gore, Melvin Gordon and Abdullah. And the handcuff or backup running backs I want this year are Karlos Williams, Sims, Kenneth Dixon, Perkins, Tevin Coleman, DeAngelo Williams and Jerick McKinnon. If those guys got starting jobs, they could be special this season.

I'm not sure if people hate Freeman, but I think many Fantasy analysts are concerned that he's being drafted too high, with his current ADP at No. 12 overall. While he was the No. 1 Fantasy running back last year, he does have some flaws. He averaged just 4.0 yards per carry last season, which was the lowest YPC among the top nine Fantasy running backs in standard leagues. He also had just four games with 100 rushing yards in 2015, and he needed at least 25 carries in three of those outings to get there. Coleman will play a bigger role this year, which will hurt Freeman's playing time. And the Falcons have a tough schedule. As for Johnson, his yards per carry (4.7) and yards per catch (12.7) were better than Freeman, who averaged 7.9 yards per catch. Johnson had 140 fewer carries and 37 fewer catches than Freeman, but Johnson didn't become the full-time starter in Arizona until Week 12. The optimism for Johnson is the offense he plays in and what he showed down the stretch. Chris Johnson and even Andre Ellington could be a factor, but Bruce Arians is set on making David Johnson a star. Both could easily be one-year wonders, but I feel confident in Johnson playing well and would only draft Freeman toward the end of Round 2 or beginning of Round 3.

White isn't worth drafting in Round 4 or 5, but he's not far off. His ADP is the middle of Round 7, and he could go sooner if he looks good in training camp and preseason action after missing his rookie year in 2015 with a stress fracture in his leg. The Bears definitely need help at receiver behind Alshon Jeffery since their No. 2 receiver last season was Marquess Wilson, who had 28 catches for 464 yards and one touchdown. White would have been the No. 1 receiver selected this year in the NFL Draft (he was the No. 7 overall pick in 2015), and he had 109 catches for 1,447 yards and 10 touchdowns at West Virginia in 2014. There's a ton of upside for him this season, and he's an excellent No. 3 Fantasy receiver to target in that Round 7 range.

There are several ways to approach drafting tight ends, as many Fantasy owners are aware. You will go after Gronkowski in the first round if he's available or find your favorite option with a mid-round pick, and some of my guys this year in that category are Fleener, Green, Zach Ertz and Antonio Gates. If I miss on those guys, then my late-round options are Allen, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Ebron and Walford. He should be on your radar in all leagues. Walford didn't do much as a rookie with 28 catches for 329 yards and three touchdowns on 51 targets, but the Raiders plan to feature him more. Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree should lead the team in targets, but Walford should be third. And he could develop into a quality red-zone option in his second year. If he doesn't get drafted, Walford could emerge as one of the best waiver wire additions at any position in 2016.

If you can only keep one of these guys, I would go with Tate, who is two years younger than Sanders. If he plays as expected this season as the No. 1 receiver in Detroit with Calvin Johnson gone, you're in great shape. I like Sanders, but I'm concerned about the quarterback situation in Denver. He's also in a contract year, so who knows what his status could be for 2017 and beyond. But if you can, what I might do is keep Tate and Sanders and throw back Stewart. This gives you four potential studs at receiver and maybe some trade options, especially if Sanders starts off the season playing well. You can then focus your dynasty draft on running back and hope to land guys like Dixon, Perkins, Jordan Howard, Devontae Booker, etc. and rebuild that part of your roster. Stewart has a short career span left, and he might struggle this season. It might be in your best interest to give him up and keep both receivers instead.
