In a PPR league that starts three wide receivers, I prefer Chase. In all other formats, I'll take Robinson. And even though I took Chase in this draft, I think I would have been more comfortable with Robinson in retrospect.
Because I don't love the running back value at the 2/3 turn in 12-team leagues. If you are a Fantasy manager that wants to feel great about the RB position after you draft, take Robinson. If you're OK with the roster construction I put together, then you can take Chase.
And keep in mind, this roster construction would also work for a team picking third overall (and likely forced to take Chase). The next big decision you have to make is at tight end. I'm perfectly fine with taking Brock Bowers in Round 2 or Trey McBride in Round 3 from this spot.
If you're lucky enough to have Colston Loveland fall to you in Round 4, that's a no-brainer. I decided against TE in this particular draft and I took Rashee Rice in the second round. Rice is an elite player when healthy, and I think that will continue this year.
Round 3 is where it got interesting for me. I may have reached a bit for Travis Etienne (I prefer him later in Round 3), but I didn't want to be too weak at RB. Had I taken another WR or McBride at 3.2, then RB could be a big liability for my team.
How do you feel about Chase/Rice/McBride and any two of Judkins/Skattebo/Price/Montgomery/Lloyd? If that works for you, then you know you can keep waiting on RB. I'm not wild about it, so I reached a bit for Etienne.
