RaidersAreOne Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Boys my draft is tonight and I'm picking 2nd. The guy at #1 has already told me he is going Saquon. Do I go for Kamara or McCaffrey? Or other? Edited August 27, 2019 by RaidersAreOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse07 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 PPR or Standard? PPR McCaffrey Standard I'm probably still going McCaffrey tbh but its splitting hairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaglesPeteC Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Take Caff and run. I love Kamara, but Caff is Kamara + more volume. I had the 1st pick in a league and took McCaffrey over Barkley. I think they are both good for volume and pass catching but I trust the Carolina offense as a whole more than the GIants offense as a whole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 It's a 0.5 PPR btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 I figured most would go with Kamara, so this is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohnson2009 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 It's assumed Latavius Murray is the new Mark Ingram and it will be a time share.. I don't think that's the case. I see Kamara as the bellcow this season and he has an elite season. He's arguably the most talented back in the league. I like Cmac, but Newton's health scares me in that offense a little.

I think they are both good for volume and pass catching but I trust the Carolina offense as a whole more than the GIants offense as a whole I'd go the opposite way and take Kamara. Love CMC but I think in some ways the Panthers offense likely being better this year is going to hurt him. He didn't really explode last year until Cam's shoulder injury started bothering him and he a.) started checking down to CMC even more than usual and b.) wasn't being used at the goalline as a runner as much, giving CMC all those opportunities. Assuming Cam's foot heals alright, the Panthers passing game will in general be more balanced with Samuel and Moore having real roles carved out, the Panthers have already made some noise about wanting to limit CMC's usage somewhat, and Cam is bound to vulture a lot of goalline carries. Meanwhile in New Orleans, Ingram is gone and I expect the Saints to up Kamara's volume even if Murray still eats into his carries somewhat. I honestly almost took Kamara at 1 over Barkley, in the end i think Barkley is just that good but I think Kamara is gonna feast this year.

Kamara usage with the 1s in preseason combined with Payton’s comments about him being “soft” (check Evan Silva’s podcast for more info) show he isn’t going to be a guy that gets 80% of snaps. Most likely it’s 70/30 where Latavius Murray is getting a lot of those goal line touches. This recent Cam injury might also make him less likely to run which opens more options for Mc as well.

Can't find the link, but there was a report that Murray will not be taking on as much snaps as Ingram did. Not sure why Murray would get goal line touches when Kamara is elite at punching it in and keeps the defense on their toes more than Murray could. Heard that on the Cam front. I don't disagree, I'm really splitting hairs more than anything and I think if Cam went down for the year defenses would eventually bottle up CMac pretty consistently.

Reports can say whatever they want. Snap count doesn't lie. Over the last 3 years Murray has scored 26 TDs. Now he isn't going to be THE goal line back but he will definitely be taking away some inside the 5 touches from Kamara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Kamara is the better player...but McCaffrey arguably has the best situation in football and is also very good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFF Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Since it 1/2 ppr, I’ll go Kamara. Higher TD ceiling and floor to honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
