BillSabre Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 General question for everybody PPR Most of the top backs are being kept in my league. Harris, Kamara, Swift, Barkley, Jones will be at the top of the pecking order as the top backs are already rostered. My question is are any of these backs worth taking over one of the top 5 WR? I’m strongly considering stacking WR early and getting a platoon of mid level starters at RB. I only need to start 1 RB and can start 3 WR. I just don’t think I can pass up any top 5 WR for the names I listed. Any and all feedback is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s hard to say, @BayRaider @JaguarCrazy2832, Given every league pans out slightly different, but what rounds do you think I should be looking for these; Sutton, M Brown, Bateman, AJ Dillon, JJSS, Christian Watson. (12 team, .5 ppr). high on these players but don’t want to overdraft them. I am not sure off the top of my head but i was very high on Sutton, Bageman and Dillon and missed out on all. Sutton mid-3 to early 4 Bateman 6/7 Dillon 7 Dillons adp on espn is like 100 but goes way earlier. Pissed me off so much missing on him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also given the injury history at RB, WRs are safer so I wouldn’t take any of those RBs over Kupp/Jefferson. I’m not as big on Najee as consensus so I probably take Chase ahead too. Not sure about WR4/5 v Najee though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Which do you like better? Non-PPR, start 2 RB 2 WR, 1 FLEX RB:CMC RB: Barkley FLEX: 1 of Rhamondre-MG3-Mooney-S.Moore-Hines-Palmer-Gainwell WR: Michael Pittman WR: Gabe Davis TE: Travis Kelce or RB:CMC RB: Rhamondre Stevenson FLEX: 1 of Gabe Davis-MG3-Mooney-S.Moore-Hines-Palmer-Gainwell WR: Cede Lamb WR: Michael Pittman TE: Travis Kelce Basically its Saquon Barkley v Cede Lamb but you can gather by getting Pittman late R4 that WRs are so undervalued Barkley's upside is apparent but Lamb could have an epic year as the #1 but that RB2 spot sucks whereas at least the flex options arent terrible...but CMC/Barkley is like the biggest high risk/reward combo this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no trust in Saquon though, whatsoever. So most people probably put this as a push or something. I’d definitely favour Lamb over Saquon though, personally. Packaged up in this is me expecting Rhamondre to take over as number 1 soon. But our OL isn’t great Edited September 4, 2022 by Hunter2_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But our OL isn’t great Yea i kind of hate myself for taking Barkley because Lamb has a legit floor and still great upside. I think if i had a less injury concern at RB1 it would’ve been fine. Dont love starting 3 WRs in non ppr but they would’ve been must starts every week while i figure out RB2. Not sold on Rhamondre as a must start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about WR4/5 v Najee though So in essence, Najee ahead of Adams and Diggs but other than that, grab the WR? I thought I read he was dealing with a lisfranc injury??? Maybe I’m crazy. I feel like Kamara is up there too because it looks like the suspension will be next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In PPR Jones should be close to Kamara too imo. I have Diggs ahead of Adams in PPR. I probably take Najee ahead but tbh idk how bad his injury is, haven’t paid attention and never had the chance to draft him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Still torn. 10 team PPR keep 1 from top 8 picks lose the pick that round keep 1 from bottom 8 lose that pick. I pick 5th (6th in even rounds) Keeping Chase in round 8 Need to decide between keeping Lamar (9th round) Jeudy (10th round) Michael Thomas (12th round) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really a tough one for me. I drafted MT last year with the sole purpose of keeping him for this season so might just have to roll with that risk.

If thats the case I guess Id roll the dice with Michael Thomas. I only do few leagues a year and for what its worth hes on every one of my squads too. Roll the dice and see your plan come to fruition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams or Diggs? I’ll have Chase and MT and another top WR could really boost me or do I reach for RB. I’m not an Ekeler fan and think he is way overrated.

Id go with Adams personally, Diggs isnt too far behind but Adams > Diggs Im also in the same boat as you about Ekeler, I could easily be wrong and very well might be but I just am not that big of a fan of him for whatever reason. I also dont expect him to score 20 TDs again either. But RB is very scarce and Ekeler could help out with that, Maybe snag Kamara or Barkley in the 2nd if either of those 2 arent being kept.
