This guy really dislikes McConkey. Read some of the comments section and of course watch the video for his ranking, start watch around the 9 minute mark. -

Not sure I'd classify as really dislikes, yeah down on him but my main takeaway was just thinks doesn't have ton of upside to be a #1 like someone like Coleman. Seems like a reasonable take.
(good thing about that video is it's easy to scroll to the players interested in)
I heard low upside about Kupp too.
Would you draft him over Brooks in a 14 team PPR Dynasty must start 2RB / 3WR? Needing both WR and RB.
In a vacuum, I'd personally go McConkey in PPR. But I usually lean WR.
I think there are enough concerns on Brooks: Coming off the ACL, Carolina's bad offense/bad OL (which to be fair, they took steps to upgrade everything), that I have LM above him.
That being said, RB's are always inflated in rookie drafts. If you need a RB/feel like you have a hard time acquiring RB's in your league, it may be a good time to strike. I think he'll bounce back his 2nd year.
But, you could also potentially buy low. Savvy owners know a guy is going to be a little down coming off an ACL injury. But when it's a rookie having a down season, I think people are a little more prone to panic. Though, I've thought to myself many times, I'm going to buy low on a guy if he ever dips and his owner either won't come off of him or still expects top dollar trade value.
TL;DR: I would go LM, but if you have a strong need at RB, don't think it's incorrect or bad to go Brooks.
