Buy or Sell These (Redraft) RB1's? (1 Viewer)

[PhantomJB]

Tons of talent in this year's Top 12 RB's...but also significant risk factors...who are you buying and selling at their current ADP's?

RB4 - Zeke (draft him and you could have a huge hole in your RB1 slot for half the season or more)

RB5 - D. Johnson (PFF O-line ranking = 30; new coach/rookie QB/college scheme)

RB6 - L. Bell (year off rust?; 28th ranked O-line; huge talent or beneficiary of PIT system?)

RB7 - N. Chubb (K. Hunt returning after Wk 8; split carries?)

RB8 - J. Conner (one year wonder? durability? effects of losing Munchak and AB)

RB9 - T. Gurley (how many games will arthritic knee last? decreased workload?)

RB10 - J. Mixon (27th ranked O-line already banged up; no AJ Green; new system)

RB11 - D. Cook (if healthy could be a steal at this ADP...huge if)

I’d say Nick Chubb has a week 9-16 Kareem Hunt problem

Buying/drafting Gurley and Cook.  That leaves me avoiding the rest.

This is why I am very much considering Hopkins at 1.5 this year. Yes I want a very good RB1, but some very good RB's fall back to the 2nd and 3rd round as well.

Great point. Totally forgot and added to risk factors.

Buying:
- Zeke, He will get his money
- DJ, running quarterbacks are typically good for RB's.  might be the best receiver on the team
- Chubb, 3 down stud on a well balance offense.

Holding
- Mixon, tons of talent, new system, questions every where else

Selling
- Bell, was he actually good.  Adam Gase is terrible
- Gurley. Can see weeks were the Rams say he is healthy then gets 2 carries.
- Cook, I don't think he is going to get the volume to be an RB1.  He might be a hold for me, but I find the price just a little high.

Buy:

• Zeke - he good, so is the o-line
  
• Chubb - he is better than Hunt
  
• Cook - should have every opportunity to be a top 5 RB, flashed talent before getting injured
  

Hold:

• DJ - I don't see him falling in the middle, I see either a great year or bad year (for his ADP), so it averages out here.
  

Sell:

• Conner - ADP too high for the risks of the Pitt offense regressing
  
• Bell - Year off, potentially bad team, Conner looking good last year making him possibly a system RB
  
• Mixen - Still a Bengal
  
• Gurley - Could be a steal at his ADP even if he loses a few touches, but I worry about him being a game time decision often or being active but getting massively reduced touches if his knee flares up
