Gurley, Zeke, Bell, DJ and...???Yes. I have the 6th pick and will absolutely take him over any RB outside of the top 5.

Sometimes seeing Barkley or Kamara go at 5.Gurley, Zeke, Bell, DJ and...???
Agreed. I'm seeing that as well. I thought you had a clear top 5 RBs and was wondering who you had locked into the 5th RB slot. I keep waivering but am convinced I'll take Gordon at 1.7 if he's there for me. But if Kamara is still there at 1.7, it's a harder choice though I'm not totally sold on a repeat of 2017 for Kamara.Sometimes seeing Barkley or Kamara go at 5.
In a 12-team standard scoring snake draft, 2.08 would likely be some combination of Jordan Howard, Devonta Freeman, CMC, or Joe Mixon.Well the more I have thought about it, the more I have convinced myself I am going RB over Brown at 5.
If I take Brown at 5, I am almost locked in to taking a RB in round 2. Who that RB will be? Anyone's guess. Mixon? McKinnon?
If I go RB, it frees me up to take best player available in round 2. I can grab a 2nd RB. I can grab AJ, Adams, Evans or Hilton. I can grab Gronk maybe.
Now the question becomes WHICH RB? Really leaning Barkley. I want the upside.
let us know what you did. I did the Gordon, Julio with the 10 pick(12 team PPR) & just felt I had more options from then on out.I'm in a ppr. Prob wuss out and go Gordon and / Julio/Mike thomas/aj green
You are rightI agree with pretty much everything that is being said here....at the end of the day, when it's your turn and you feel that you have similar value between 2 or 3 players, then personal preference goes to play.
The only comment that really surprises me is the guy who said he's ok getting Fournette or Gordon at #16. Not sure what league you are playing in but I really doubt you get these two still on the board at #16. That would be really surprising to me. I have the 10th pick in a 12 team league and I'm pretty sure I won't get one of these two when it comes back to me in the second round.
Bingo.... He was really cutting into Gordon's time right before he got injured last year and has looked great this preseason.New QB who will likely turn the ball over more than Alex Smith.
Ekeler worries me in PPR leagues with Gordon.
That's pretty bold, but not too far-fetched either.Kamara is going to be overall RB1 at years end....

Sitting at the turn too in a league where a couple 1st rounders are out as keepers so I’m really more like 14/15. You definitely think RB/RB or if an elite WR is there do you consider it?Highly doubtful. I'm pick 12 and going rb/rb all day. If there is someone like me in your draft you won't get two of those tier rbs. Just have a back up plan.
Also I'm in standard scoring. If all the good rbs are gone after my first pick I'm leaning CMC over Freeman as my second pick.
I agree, Robo.Robo35 said:Well Sharks with the news from Dallas about Travis Frederick and his rare disease and Zach Martin banged up are we sure Elliot belongs in the "Big 4" especially in ppr ? Shouldn't he be in the next tier with Barkley and Kamara? Tell me your thoughts
this will be influenced by a lot of factors you didnt mention in your post, but regardless it seems like a very bad decision to decide ahead of time to go RB/RB. i mean if the 1st round is real RB heavy before it gets to you are you really going to start like howard/mixon???Sitting at the turn too in a league where a couple 1st rounders are out as keepers so I’m really more like 14/15.

I don't understand your reasoning... His usage went up and up with every week last year including taking over goal line work with Ingram in the lineup. Now Ingram is out for 4 weeks and all of a sudden you think he is going to take more work away from Kamara then what he got last year??? Not sure you have thought this through very well.Kamari has the talent but after week 4, his volume will be greatly reduced. 5 seems early.
Obviously, the volume will be there for Kamara when Ingram is out. I think I was pretty clear on that. But, when Ingram returns, I expect him to have plenty of touches. Ingrams was not slouch last year. And, I don't expect Kamara to have the same efficiency in 2018 that he had last year. Kamara is a first round talent but I am not taking him in the first half of round 1.I don't understand your reasoning...

If Howard and Mixon are the best rbs at 14/15 just think about what would be there on your next pick..yikes. @GoBirds It would really depend on what wr where there. I would consider a wr/rb but I feel like I can find value at wr more easily through the draft.this will be influenced by a lot of factors you didnt mention in your post, but regardless it seems like a very bad decision to decide ahead of time to go RB/RB. i mean if the 1st round is real RB heavy before it gets to you are you really going to start like howard/mixon???
With the 3 Pick in a PPR draft , I was firmly targeting Zeke over DJ because he was going to be the entire Dallas offense.... nowwwwww think I am off him. Martin and Fredrick possibly missing time is a big red flag add in Dak does not look good and no experienced WR or TE to open up. Zeke owners are counting on his workload and great Line play , which may not happen...... only a Ty Smith back injury from being a complete crap-shoot on who plays line.Robo35 said:Well Sharks with the news from Dallas about Travis Frederick and his rare disease and Zach Martin banged up are we sure Elliot belongs in the "Big 4" especially in ppr ?

it happened. some rookie took Watson in round 1.Highly doubtful. I'm pick 12 and going rb/rb all day. If there is someone like me in your draft you won't get two of those tier rbs. Just have a back up plan.
Also I'm in standard scoring. If all the good rbs are gone after my first pick I'm leaning CMC over Freeman as my second pick.
I love that this happens, but in a way it infuriates me because I like to do tons of mocks, and I end up ignoring large groups of players that I know I have no chance at drafting. Then two chuckleheads draft rodgers and Watson early and my draft plan goes to hell when CMC slips to me in the third or somethingit happened. some rookie took Watson in round 1.
and some other guy went zero rb and ended up with Ronald jones as his rb1.
good times
Because of these noobs aj green fell into the third roundI love that this happens, but in a way it infuriates me because I like to do tons of mocks, and I end up ignoring large groups of players that I know I have no chance at drafting.

ahhh ok then. predesignated rb/rb plan is a lot more reasonable given this info.Non ppr m Thomas keeper
