Just seems in this year's case there's no health certainty. So after you draft starters, do you draft handcuffs next or some players to fill in crucial bye weeks? Especially if byes are early in season.
In this mock draft I did
QB-Brees-No handcuff or bye filler. If I did go bye filler it was between Cutler and Rivers who were there late. Both play favorable matchups week 7.
RB-Charles(will not be drafting him)-Handcuff Knile Davis in 14th. Bye filler I got Greene who plays jags week 10 and he could get red zone looks that game.
RB 2 Sproles-Handcuff Ingram. Not that big a deal to fill in his bye.
WR Cruz-No handcuff, but bye rep V Brown who plays redskins
WR 2 Wallace-No handcuff same bye rep V Brown who plays colts at home
TE Gronk-Handcuff Sudfeld in 13th, bye rep Gates who's had success against Denver.
Flex DJac-Did not focus on handcuff or bye rep because his bye is week 12, plenty of time to find a FA gem. No one is going to hold on to Cooper when FAs are picked up.
Basically after drafting my main eight starters(inc. defense), I drafted 3 bye fillers and 3 handcuffs. I probably overreacted with Gates because the pats bye is week 10. The last spot was a kicker.
