One of the great things about Fantasy football drafts is that every flavor of strategy can come into play depending both on the format of the league and the unique way each draft unfolds and shrinks the player pool pick by pick.

But Travis Kelce will turn 36 during the season, Rashee Rice is facing a suspension, and Mahomes has finished no higher than eighth in fantasy points in both of the past two seasons.
