Who's Number 1?

This year, perhaps more than any other year in recent memory, there is a staggering amount of uncertainty over who, exactly, should be the consensus top pick. Adrian Peterson? Michael Turner? Matt Forte? or Larry Fitzgerald??

Fantasy owners have started to make a shift from the traditional picks of back to back running backs in rounds 1 and 2. This strategy was pretty much a standard for most owners for a number of years, but the paradigm is shifting.

More owners are starting to wait until the 3rd or 4th round to pick their first running back, instead opting to use at least one, but sometimes both, of the first and second round picks on wide receivers. While there have always been one or two owners that followed this path, now it is only one or two owners still picking RB-RB in the 1st two rounds, something that was considered a staple by many for many years.

Which camp are you in? Do you think running backs re-establish their fantasy dominance in 2009? Or are you one of the new breed who won't even touch a running back until the 3rd round?

Let us know your thoughts.
