The Live Standard Draft Plan for Every First Round Slot
The live Standard board now sends eight running backs and two receivers through round one. See the pick, return watch and exact wait for every seat from 1.01 through 1.10.
The Standard first round has changed into a run on running backs. Eight backs and two receivers fill the current opening 10 picks. Take the highest available player from that group, then use your exact wait to decide how many acceptable options can disappear before the draft returns.
This August 22 SNS order uses half PPR scoring for the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC, plus Notre Dame. The league has 10 managers and starts one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers, one tight end and one flex. An all FBS room should select Expanded before using these names.
The rule works at every seat. Count the players you would accept without worrying about their exact order. If that group is larger than the number of opponent picks before your return, one must survive. If the numbers are equal, the room can take the entire group.

1.01 → 2.10
Hawkins and Hardy carry the longest waits
Caleb Hawkins is the 1.01 plan if the current order holds. He should finish around 290 points and remains the leading running back. The first manager waits through 18 opponent picks before 2.10. Justice Haynes is the player beside that return pick today, but 18 selections make him a watch name rather than a promise.
Ahmad Hardy is the 1.02 plan after an expected season around 268 points. Take Hawkins instead if he falls. The second manager waits through 16 opponent picks before 2.09, where Carson Hansen sits on the current board. That gap can remove almost two complete rounds of nearby options, so the next plan needs a group of names rather than one target.
Jeremiah Smith changes the position at 1.03. His expected 247 points lead every Standard receiver, which makes him the first player worth interrupting the early running back run. The manager waits through 14 opponent picks before 2.08. Darius Taylor is the current return watch, and the size of the wait makes every stronger fall an automatic change.
Malachi Toney follows at 1.04. He trails Smith by only about two expected points and belongs in the same receiver choice. The fourth manager waits through 12 opponent picks before 2.07, where John Mateer appears today. Take Smith if he reaches the seat. Otherwise Toney gives the roster an elite receiver before the draft can remove the next 12 names.
Lacy, Martin and Sheppard form the middle plan
Kewan Lacy opens the next running back group at 1.05 with an expected season around 240 points. The fifth manager waits through 10 opponent picks before 2.06. Duce Robinson is the present return watch. A group of 11 acceptable players can survive that wait. A group of 10 can vanish.
LJ Martin is the 1.06 plan and sits within two expected points of Lacy. Take Lacy if he falls, then Martin. The sixth manager waits through eight opponent picks before 2.05, where Devon Dampier currently appears as the first quarterback. The shorter gap creates patience at quarterback, but it does not justify passing on the final running back in an acceptable group.
Nate Sheppard closes this middle group at 1.07. He projects for about 237 points and remains close enough to Lacy and Martin that availability should set their order on draft night. Six opponent picks pass before 2.04. Cam Cook is the current return watch, so seven acceptable names would guarantee one option while six would not.
The final three seats control the turn
Evan Dickens is the 1.08 plan after the leading five running backs and two receivers leave. Four opponents pick before the manager returns at 2.03. Amare Thomas sits there on the current board. The short wait allows the manager to compare a small receiver group with the next backs instead of protecting one predicted player.
Antwan Raymond is the 1.09 plan if the first eight names are gone. Only two opponents select before 2.02, where KJ Duff currently appears. Three acceptable players guarantee that one returns. This seat should react to a fall by Dickens, Smith or Toney before following the printed order.
Bo Jackson closes the projected round at 1.10. The manager owns 2.01 immediately, so Jackson and DeSean Bishop form one two player decision when the board holds. Nobody can draft between those picks. Take the best available pair, and change both names when a stronger player falls.
Use the live room instead of protecting the article
The waits do not move in a 10 manager snake. The names can move every day. An injury, a camp role or a new projection can change all 20 players around the turn without changing the 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, eight, six, four, two and zero opponent pick gaps.
The interactive plan now refreshes from the same projection board used by the draft room. Its reviewed August 22 order appears only if the live request fails. Reduced motion settings skip the automatic pick sequence and keep every slot control available.
