He also had Julio Jones but ever since that year, he hasn't stopped talking about how RBs don't matter. He won with Frank Gore and J-stew(I might add in our league settings, they were either low end RB1s or high end RB2s weekly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefon Diggs (Me) 4. Calvin Ridley 5. Travis Kelce 6. I would pick again here. Between Joe Mixon, Darren Waller, Antoino Gibson, Austin Ekeler and AJ Brown, who would you guys pick. I think I would lean Waller or Brown although I FEEL like I need to atleast leave this round with one RB. I like Gibson a ton but that Toe injury scares me a bit. Mixon is probably the last of the true workhorses but he might be annoying to own due to those nagging injuries he suffers year in and year out. I was thinking go with Diggs and Waller/Brown then find two RBs in R2, Swift and Carson would be my top targets. Okay I already said i like Kelce at 3 but lets go further: In PPR, I think Kelce is even better and if you are remotely considering Waller at 6, you might as well take Kelce at 3 because he is SO much better than Waller and I’m a big Waller fan Here’s my “logic”I totally understand the wanting to go RB im the same way and the position falls off a cliff Which is why i think you can go Kelce-RB. Id eliminate Brown in PPR just because you’ll either go RB or Ridley/Diggs on the off chance 1 falls. Eliminate Waller because Kelce at 3. That leaves Mixon-Gibson-Ekeler and the WR duo. Ekeler is a PPR savage BUT the .5 per carry hurts him alot and there is some injury concern. Mixon should get alot of work and catches albeit behind an average OL with his own injury issues Gibson had the toe issue but the sky is the limit. Just looking at ESPN projections: Ekeler: 359 Gibson: 376 Mixon: 372 Also since this is a keeper league at no cost(i think?) Gibson has the most upside as far as longevity given he was a rookie last year and i dont think he got a ton of work in college too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh its July you’d think it would be fine right? Idk if he had surgery or not but I expect their offense to be better and him to catch more passes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you rather have Darren Waller or CEH Round 3? I keep wanting to have a Top-3 pick and whenever I do mocks I find myself taking Waller alot which is great but then the best RBs that come back to me in R4 are like Mike Davis, Kareem Hunt and Travis Etienne...which I dont like plus Im not big fans of the WRs there either. Its just a really weird spot. Although I fully expect 4-5 QBs to go in the first 3 rounds so that could help clear things up Little help here? I feel like this decision will come up if I pick Top-3.

Yep, no keeper cost. The part about Waller and Kelce is what also ran through my mind. The likes of Swift and Carson in R2(really Round 3) would be nice but if they are both gone, I don't want to be stuck with someone like Dobbins as my RB1. Although at this point, I would just punt RB till the next time I am on the clock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its probably Waller with someone like Mike Davis vs CEH with someone like Goedert later on? That's a tough one because I like CEH a lot and that's a great value there in R3. I think I'd lean CEH just because of the drop off of RBs from CEH to Mike Davis and etc. Not saying the TEs after Waller aren't a drop off but I feel like is isn't quite as bad.

I still remember the year he ranked CJ Anderson as his #1 RB and CJ busted and they'd never let him forget about. Although he had all the right reasons to rank him as high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get too stuck on the idea of Dobbins as RB 1, get stuck on the idea that you have the best TE in fantasy without question and a Top-5 WR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been either a get two RBs early or at least have one RB1 by R2. I was also thinking if I end up with Mahomes, Diggs/Ridley, Kelce and Dobbins, I guess that wouldn't be too bad. *QBs score a boat load in our league settings especially the top 5 QBs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year Kelce was made full time starter in Kc. Ever since then I have punted during the draft. I was lucky enough to land Waller two years ago off Waiver Because of this and the fact that I passed on a sure fire hit in Kelce last year for Drake, I feel like I gotta go big at TE.
