Rounds 1 & 2: Don't leave without an RB

This is super important, or you're going to be left out to dry at the position. Not to mention, RB is loaded in the back half of the 1st and early 2nd, so I find myself favoring 2 RBs to start my draft (Chase Brown & De'Von Achane or Omarion Hampton & Ashton Jeanty are two combos I like). If you go with Amon-Ra St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, or Justin Jefferson in the first, make sure you're grabbing your RB1 in round 2.

Rounds 3 & 4: Soak up WR depth

This is why I like taking 2 RBs to start from the back part of the draft. This range in the 3rd and 4th rounds typically includes the likes of Ladd McConkey, Tee Higgins, Emeka Egbuka, Garrett Wilson, Jaylen Waddle, and more. Grabbing 2 of those guys as your starting WRs (paired with a full RB room) works wonders, especially in a slightly deeper league.

Rounds 5 & 6: Draft your RB3, but be Flexible

I like to have three running backs through 5 rounds in a perfect world, and if not, definitely try not to leave the early 6th round without one. If you do, the position will thin out a ton by rounds 7 and 8, and you won't be tempted to click any of the names in that range, leaving you incredibly reliant on health at the top. Do yourself a favor and add some depth here with a guy who can start in your flex (I like D'Andre Swift, Jadarian Price, and Jaylen Warren in this range). Don't force it if a name you like isn't there but try not to punt on your 3rd RB until anyone worth a flex start is gone.

Rounds 7-10: WR Depth, QB, and TE

The beauty about this part of the draft is that you don't sacrifice value at these 3 positions and aren't forced into the corner on an RB you don't believe in. You can take risk/reward WR shots at guys like Marvin Harrison Jr. and Brian Thomas Jr. You can also often grab TEs like Tucker Kraft and QBs like Trevor Lawrence or Dak Prescott - little difference in value vs. taking a guy 3 or 4 rounds earlier. Your league-mates will be trying to plug gaps in their roster, and you're free to spend these rounds picking up value where it falls and adding depth at key positions.
