In my youth, I would avoid drafting NFC North players at all costs. How could I even imagine rooting for a Viking or Lion (the Bears basically never had anyone worth drafting)? Now that I am older and wiser, I figure that if I like a player despite my biased view of the three inferior NFC North teams he's probably a value at that point. So let's get into this year's crop of players using Fantasy Players' average draft position (ADP) stats. 

Quarterback

The division isn't a great place to draft a QB outside of Jordan Love unless you want to bet on Jared Goff keeping it going. Goff had the 7th most points last season in what was probably his ceiling performance, right now he's going 12th among QBs which makes sense when you add in the QBs who were hurt for part or all of last season. Basically, if you take Goff where he's going right now you're paying full price for him. If you're in a two-QB league and he falls to the 12th round or later he's probably worth a shot for your QB 2. Otherwise, I'd pass. 

Rookies Caleb Williams and JJ McCarthy are the other two available QBs (assuming you don't think Darnold is starting) and neither of them are really getting drafted in 1 QB leagues to start. Neither is expected to carry their team this season and neither is much of a run threat so they're both passes. 

Running back

Jahmyr Gibbs is the cream of the crop here, going 6th among RBs. I was considering being a Gibbs guy until I saw a tweet the other day showing that he and Zeke Elliot basically had the same receiving stats last season. That's supposed to be his whole thing! If you're taking Gibbs as your RB 1, he needs to produce insane numbers. He had the tenth most points among RBs last year. He would need to add 2+ fantasy points per game and do it more consistently (remember he's a small back) to be worth the 6th pick. Gibbs has the talent to pull it off, sure, but this is another case of paying full value for a player, we're looking for values. 

Gibbs' teammate David Montgomery (who had more fantasy points than him last year) is going 23rd among RBs. He had the 9th most points among backs last year and is going 23rd this year. That's the type of value we're looking for.

Sadly, Aaron Jones is probably the next best option if you're looking for a value. Jones averaged more fantasy points per game than Gibbs when healthy last year and is going as RB number 19. If he can somehow manage to stay on the field, that offense will have a lot of opportunity for him. 

Wide Receiver

The division has a lot of great options for WR1: Justin Jefferson, the Sun God, DJ Moore and Keenan Allen (if you have a time machine). I'd be perfectly fine with any of Jefferson, the Sun God, and Moore as my WR 1. They're going third, fifth and nineteenth respectively. The value will be in mining the WR2s in the division. 

Jordan Addison has the first round pedigree but do you trust a small WR who under performed last year and is playing with a rookie QB? Jameson Williams is going 48th and a lot of smart people think he's ready to break out, can he finally do it? Is there room in the Detroit offense for him to produce? Even Allen could be a value at pick 27.

Tight End

Tight end is another super strong position. I'd be fine ending up with Sam LaPorta (ADP: 1), TJ Hockenson (11) or Cole Kmet (16) as my top tight end. Certainly, I'd prefer the value in Hockenson over LaPorta and Kmet would probably be a hail mary type, but each of these guys is a great player on the field and will likely produce this season. I'd definitely trust each of them over betting big money on a Even Engram or Kyle Pitts type. 

Defense or Kicker

If you're in a league that includes kickers or defense, try holding an intervention for the commissioner to stick to the fun positions.
