rookie drafts (1 Viewer)

I was just wondering if any of your rookie drafts have seen Johnson go #1. In my main rookie draft CJ went #1.

I thought this was crazy :confused: since RBs are the life of a dynasty team.

 
I don't think so. Peterson/Calvin are interchangeable depending on your teams needs. I mean Calvin's like the Reggie Bush of RB's potential wise. So its not everyday a Wr with such upside comes along.

In start 3 RB leagues or a 3rd flex Rb option I'd go Peterson regardless but in all other formats I'd be torn seriously.

 
It's also probably as much about who the drafter is sure(in theory) will be a fine player. Bad pick fear is pretty strong with the #1 pick

 
I got Calvin in 6 dynasty leagues, but never had to take him at 1.1. Grabbed him at 1.2 in 4 leagues, 1.3 in 1 league, and took him in the 3rd round in a new startup league. But i don't think its crazy to take him at 1.1 in a pt per reception league if you have a bigger need at WR than RB.

 
I don't care how valuable RBs are, there is no way in the world I could take Lynch ahead of Calvin in any format. However...as much as I think Calvin is a can't miss stud (I know, no such thing, but...), I could not take Calvin over Peterson, because I think Peterson is a top 5 long term stud RB, and those are the hardest thing to get in fantasy football.

 
I debated it for a long time, because I had 1.1 and 1.2, and I could never take CJ over Peterson because of upside Peterson represents. He could possibly be the next elite back we see emerge in the NFL. That being said, I wouldnt take Lynch over Calvin because I dont think Lynch, regardless of being the feature back, will equal the FF production of Calvin over there careers.

On a side note I traded Calvin and kept AD. Also I think even if I needed a receiver and only had 1.1 I would have still taken Peterson, not only because of his upside as I already stated, but because even as valued as Calvin is Peterson is valued much more. Ive gotten MANY nice offers for Peterson in my dynasty league
