With Week 1 of the NFL less than two weeks away, we're fast approaching fantasy football draft season. With so many sites, experts, and draft strategies, it can be difficult to know who you should actually pick, and when.

To help you, we looked at 10 different fantasy football experts' top 50 picks and averaged where each player ranked. What's clear is that wide receivers are more important than ever - as the league makes strides to better protect quarterbacks and receivers, they're primed to rack up more points than ever.

And yet, the consensus top-five picks are all running backs.

The experts we surveyed: Matthew Barry (ESPN), Tristan H. Cockcroft (ESPN), Field Yates (ESPN), Andy Behrens (YAHOO! Sports), Scott Pianowski (YAHOO! Sports), Sablich Brothers (NYT), Jamey Eisenberg (CBS Sports), Dave Richard (CBS Sports), Justin Boone (The Score), and Michael Beller (SI).

Happy Drafting!
