RBs At The 2/3 Turn (1 Viewer)

[kyoun1e]

Picking 2 and 3 respectively in a couple leagues that have me picking late 2nd and early third. While I don't like to lock in on a particular strategy, I think the odds are pretty good that I'll land two RBs in those first three picks.

When I look at what's available late in the 2nd, smoke starts coming out of my ears trying to rank the available RBs. Assuming you grab one of Gurley, Bell, DJ with your first pick, I'd be curious to know how the shark's are ranking these RBs:

1. D. Freeman -- Not a sexy pick, but a safe one. Coleman definitely limits upside, but floor is solid. Not a swing for the fences pick.

2. J. Mixon -- Torn on if he's really that special or not. Gio presence. O-line issues? Due we trust Cinci to not implode? High risk, maybe high reward.

3. J. Howard -- Not much hype for Howard. He's been solid for two years on a cruddy Bears team. Could be a situation where floor is solid, and ceiling high. That said, doesn't feel right to reach for him late in round 2.

4. J. McKinnon -- He may be sliding out of this spot due to injury. A. Morris pickup a little disturbing as well.

5. L. McCoy -- Ton of team risk here, but also tons of volume.

6. K. Drake -- Lot of upside here. Don't believe in Gore. Seems early for Drake, but I know he'll be gone with my next pick late in the 4th.

Ranking correct?

Who are you targeting on the turn?

Thanks

Freeman, Howard, McCoy, Drake, McKinnon, Mixon.

A better question: which of these running backs do pass on in favor of Diggs, or Hill, or even Hilton? I think Kelce is going around there and Gronk will sometimes fall to the turn also. Lots of choices.

Those three WRs are exactly who I'm looking at as well. 

Decision to go RB or WR may depend on the tendencies of the teams sandwiched in between my 2nd and 3rd pick.

What about Alex Collins ? I wouldn't take him before Freeman or Howard, but I would for sure before injured McKinnon, Shady or the Drake. As for Mixon.....the more I think about him, the more I get that little burning feeling in my stomach  :(

I approve of the analysis on all backs you are comparing. For me, it’s howard or Freeman.  I think Howard because offense opening up , no competition for carries where with d Freeman Coleman does similar and they have many weapons.  

I like the others but mixon is not going to excel imo, he will be serviceable, McCoy team is miserable offense and a rookie qb so line stacked
