Most times I just go BPA. The other day I told myself I wasn't taking a TE early, I was going to wait for Reed or Burton, but by the time the second rolled around Gronk was the BPA so I took him.
Only thing I would recommend is make sure you are stacking players who will probably take awhile to get going with players who will be steamrolling early. I've been taking Ingram and Freeman in a lot of leagues so I have felt the need to reach a little bit for your Jamaal Williams, Carlos Hydes, and Chris Carson of the world to allow myself to wait until Ingram is back or Freeman becomes the workhorse.
