Getting Stuck Here (1 Viewer)

[whodeywhodey]

This is NOT a Assistant Coach post. I think a lot of people will be faced with this decision this year as I have faced it in numerous mocks so far this year and its driving me crazy.

Rank the following in PPR and non-PPR:

Ahmad Bradshaw

Jahvid Best

LeGarrette Blount

DeAngelo Williams

I think this decision will make or break a lot of people's season.

 

[whodeywhodey]

Guess I will start off my own thread.

I have been thinking about this a lot. If my real draft started today this is how I would draft.

Non-PPR

1. Blount

2. Bradshaw

3. Best

4. DWilliams

I think Blount has the right situation to be an absolute monster. I am monitoring the Caddy situation closely. Reports today indicate that he may go to St. Louis which would solidify Blount in my top spot. I think Bradshaw will be in the RBBC again and will lose goalline carries which ranks him slightly lower than Blount. DWilliams is arguably the most talented of this bunch but his RBBC and team's situation are horrible, imo, for fantasy.

PPR

1. Bradshaw

2. Best

3. Blount

4. DWilliams

I think that Best and Bradshaw will catch an awful lot of balls. Blount will not which ranks him a little lower for me here than above.

Personally, I'd throw Best out until we know more about Leshoure and how he's going to be used. Blount will be the workhorse but will catch a minimum amt of balls. DWill will share a good bit of time with time with Stewart. To me Bradshaw is the answer as he's the clear back on the offense but will also get the 3rd down/receiving action.

Yeah, I keep going back and forth with him. I am a little worried about all the surgeries he's had as well as the goal line situation.

See this to me is what fantasy is all about. The convention will be to take Bradshaw here. If you look at all the rankings and ADPs then this will likely confirm this. I think if you put Bradshaw in Blount's situation he would be the clear choice. But I have learned the hard way that a player's situation is almost as important as talent in fantasy. I think this decision will either win you a lot of leagues if Blount makes the most out of his great situation. In contrast I see Bradshaw as a very safe pick that will likely end up around RB 12-15 which is just about where he is going in drafts right now.

 

[LHUCKS]

Bradshaw is the easy choice here...no reason he shouldn't repeat his great numbers from last year.

Blount has a tougher schedule and the lack of receiving production severely limits his upside.

 

[-jb-]

I hate it when people do this, but...

...pass on RB in the 3rd. I think the value is in WR myself. Grab Ingram in the 4th or 5th.

That said, I would rank them:

Bradshaw

Best

Williams

Blount

 

[fightingillini]

To be honest, all of these backs have signficant risks. Personally, once you get past the top 14 or so RBs, things get dicey and and the RBs ranked 15-25 aren't that much different...in my initial projections, my RBs 15-25 are separated by 20 points...just over 1 point a game.

You may be better off taking a top 6 QB or another solid WR in the 3rd round. Then you can RBBC your RB2 slot. I would have a hard time taking any of those backs in the 3rd round when I could snag a Philip Rivers at QB or a Vincent Jackson type WR in nonPPR leagues or a Mike Williams TB type WR in PPR leagues.

I like Bradshaw the best of those listed and probably the only one that I would consider taking in Round 3.

 

[LHUCKS]

What are Bradshaw's risks again?

PPR1-DWill-I feel like the money and the QB situation are going to come together and he is set of for a big season. Huge upside if he can return to form.2-A.Bradshaw...$20m and returns to his same team where the offense isn't gonna change. He should do OK but I think the 3rd is a little early. 3-L.Blount...he doesn't catch many balls but just his rush yds and TDs should keep him ahed of the next guy.4-J.Best...I'm worried about this guy. I think I would keep it about the same in non PPR. Maybe slide Blount up a notch but that guy worries me too. Overall I would grab DWill or Bradshaw because they ahve already done it sort of speak. If DWill or AB put up 1,500 total yds and 8+TDs I think most owners will be happy with their ROI.

 

[fightingillini]

What are Bradshaw's risks again?

Shares time with Jacobs, fumbles the ball a lot, gets nicked up a lot. Bradshaw is clearly the guy of the 4 listed, but again, I would rather fill my QB slot with an elite option or take another solid WR, especially if I am in a start 3WR league, before I burn a 3rd round pick on Bradshaw.

 

[fightingillini]

If DWill or AB put up 1,500 total yds and 8+TDs I think most owners will be happy with their ROI.

I will bet the under for DWill....splitting time with Stewart, CAR is going to suck big time this year. Bradshaw has a chance for 1500/8.

[NeverEnough]

I went with Best in 1 of my dynasty leagues. Blount went in the 2nd. Too high IMO. I would not have taken Blount anyway.

You can't go wrong with Bradshaw or Best IMO here.

Bradshaw 1a

Best 1b

We're all pretty sure on what we'll get from Bradshaw so he is the safe choice, but we know what Best can do if he stays healthy. I'll take a little risk for the chance of a bigger reward.

CAR has Jeff Otah back fully healthly...if he plays 16 games you may want to change your mind

 

[OnTheReg]

If you are playing in a PPR, I think Blount's value drops significantly. That being said, he does appear to be in a real good situation, and I really like what they are building down in Tampa. In a non PPR, I'd take him over the other choices.

Bradshaw, as said above, is probably the safest pick, and should finish RB 12-15.

D'Angelo - great talent, but Carolina is such a ways away, I wouldn't want him as my RB2.

Best - all contingent on leshoure...look what best did when healthy those first two weeks of last year. it's all a matter of staying on the field.

When I rank my cheatsheets, one category I always weigh is week 16 (optimistic I'll be there)...Ahmad Bradshaw... @Jets (still home game)Jahvid Best...ChargersLeGarrette Blount... @CarolinaDeAngelo Williams... BucsSo week 16 rolls around and I'm fortunate to be there...not enthusiastic about starting Bradshaw

I agree. Best is the best of this 3rd round best group in PPR.Just get his handcuff.

I agree completely with this. I'll get a RB in round one and ideally wrap up RB2 in the 2nd with SJax, Gore, Forte or someone like that. Once you get past that group of guys, it gets pretty murky and I'd personally prefer WR/WR or WR/TE (Gates) in the 2nd/3rd over any of the RBs listed here. Then either hope one of these guys discussed falls to the 4th or grab a guy later like Ingram, Benson, Lynch, etc.

I too see this is how it will shake out by season's end. Bradshaw has a legit chance,IMO, to be the top guy of this group in both PPR & Non-PPR but I'm giving D-Will a slight edge in the non-PPR.I also have to agree with jb that there'll be good WR value in the 3rd and it might be worth a shot to take Ingram in the 4th. I'm liking the rb depth this year and in PPR formats I'll be seriously looking at WR value in the 3rd and see what RB's drop into the 4th.

 

[Grahamburn]

People are all over the map in here.

I think that's the point. All kinds of differing opinions. DeAngelo - so talented, healthy line, run first philosophy.Best - explosive, upside.Bradshaw - steady, safe, good offense.Blount - short yardage and receiving struggles.

Best in PPR could be a good pick.. even last year he had a decent point total in one of my leagues... I can see Det setting up a lot of screens to him... Leshoure will vulture a bit but Bests downside is limited in PPR vs standard
