3rd Pick - 10 Team, non PPR - Too High to Take McCoy? (1 Viewer)

[bberri5]

I'm in a competitive 10 team, 1 QB, non PPR league.  I was all set to take one of the three big RBs (Bell, Johnson, Elliot) but now that Elliot has been suspended I'm scrambling.

Taking Antonio Brown is the choice according to most rankings.  It just feels like there are way more top WRs than there are RBs and I haven't loved my RB choices in the 2nd/3rd rounds.

Would taking Shady McCoy at #3 be a reach?  Most boards have him with an ADP closer to 6/7th pick. Basically my first two picks would play out like this, which scenario is better?

Antonio Brown and then something along the lines of Fournette/Gurley/Lynch

or

Shady McCoy and then Dez/Cooper/Baldwin

Would love to hear some opinions.

Antonio is head and shoulders the pick. You can grab RB's after. Also, McCoy is being pushed by Jonathon Williams, has hit the 30 mark and is due for injury. I wouldn't touch him with a 12 foot pole. Dude is gonna get hurt.

I wouldn't take McCoy in the 1st round personally. I think after Johnson and Bell, the next 8 RBs are essentially the same, and I wouldn't spend a 1st on any of them.

I think Brown is the best pick here. I wouldn't feel the need to take a RB in round 2 either.

If you want McCoy you will have to take him here.  If you have him as the best RB in your rankings and want a RB then take him.  Personally I would rather go with the safer A. Brown in that spot.  He is the best combination of high floor and high ceiling of anybody in the draft.  I stay safe and take Brown.

RB just feels like a total crapshoot this year outside of the top few guys
