I took a second back early: Kenneth Walker III. Bypassing the hero RB strategy and loading up with Walker has proven to be quite a benefit, especially when ignoring other receivers who were available in those slots.

Walker III as second back early proved beneficial; RB-RB approach outperformed.

Kenneth Walker III was taken as a second back early by Adam Rank, bypassing the hero RB strategy, and has proven to be quite a benefit. The old-school RB-RB approach with Walker outperformed teams that waited on the second RB and instead took receivers in those slots, validating the early investment in Walker.
