10 team PPR (1 pt per reception, 6 pts per TD rushing or receiving, 1 pt per 10 yard rushing or receiving, and -3 for fumbles, no bonuses)I would assume CJ is going #1. I took MJD last season #2 after AP and he treated me right. This season AP is there for me to take, but I am nervous about them and his extra work and injuries. According to the projections on Footballguys Rice would be my best choice due to his receiving prowess, but will that continue?Who would you take at #2 given my league points?
I'm in the same boat as you....#2 pick, ppr. I'm leaning towards Rice myself. Probably splitting hairs here, but I think Rice is actually the safest pick of the 3.With AP, I think the Vikings offense as a whole takes a step back this year. Sidney Rice is a question mark with is hip, Harvin is a question mark with his migraines, and Favre is a year older playing on a bum ankle. Plus, their O-line hasn't impressed me this preseason, or even towards the end of last year. I think his rushing yards go down maybe 100-150 yards, his catches and receiving yards stay about the same (maybe improve slightly), but his total TD's go down rather significantly. With MJD, I'm worried about how he finished the year last season and just the fact that he plays on such a bad offense. He'll get touches, as he's the focal point of the offense, but I just don't see a big year for him, based mostly on the lack of talent around him.With Rice, I think he'll lose some catches to Boldin, say maybe 10-15. But I believe his rushing yards go up slightly based on the Ravens offense improving and being on the field more. Along those same lines, I also think he'll get a few more opportunities to score. Basically, about a net wash from last year.To put it another way, I believe Rice can finish anywhere from the #1 RB to the #6 RB, whereas I can see AP or MJD finishing anywhere from the #1 RB to the #12 RB.My long-winded
