![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve ignored him for two rounds this summer (when he usually goes), and even when it’s a 50-50 ball on Mixon in the third round, I usually wind up going in a different direction. Mixon dropped some pounds and surely will be improved after a lost rookie year, but the Le’Veon Bell wishcasting seems absurd to me. Planning for the second half of the year is cute, but I want a fast September start, and I want leverage and flexibility. It could be Week 7 or 8 before you really trust him. Mark Ingram sits four weeks, then gets a cold start in Week 5, then a bye. Howard is a boring but high-floor player, and as you might know, that’s my jam. Cook is off a major injury and might be ceding the goal-line work to Latavius Murray. Fournette was a key name on my do-not-draft list. (If you want to hear a weekly argument about Gordon, check out Michael Salfino and yours truly on the Breakfast Table Podcast.). The LACs have to deal with the worst home-field advantage in football, but the Bolts probably have the AFC’s best roster. Gordon’s efficiency has never been great, but he’s a true bell cow, there’s no one of consequence pushing him, and the Chargers offense should have little trouble moving the ball. I had to pump the brakes somewhat on Barkley after his August he’s dinged as Week 1 approaches, and the offensive line still looks like a major problem in New York. In full-point PPR, I’d have no problem pushing him into the above tier. It’s hard to imagine Kamara can approach last year’s efficiency - nobody is that good - but the Saints love to throw to their backs, and Kamara is especially dangerous in space. I think it’s a mistake to assume Kamara gets a major usage bump during the Ingram suspension, but some increase makes sense. Maybe you have faith in Jason Garrett and Scott Linehan I sure don’t. Johnson and Elliott are too talented to fail, but could be dragged downward by their supporting casts. Bell is dinged a tiny bid for the holdout (remember, he started slowly last year) and for the fact that his touchdown count hasn’t quite equaled his prowess elsewhere on the field. Gurley gets the check mark for environment, for McVay, and for his growth as a receiver. I have the same top 4 that everyone pretty much does. Assume a generic scoring system, with a half point per reception, one point for every 10 yards rushing or receiving, and six-point touchdowns.ĭisagreements? That’s why we play! Bring your best arguments to me on Twitter: Todd Gurley Players at the same cost, below, are considered even (and a one or two buck difference might not mean that much, either). Too much is readily and freely available, even to the weakest players in your league.) Whatever scouting and information edge the best players had 20 and even 10 years ago, that’s largely gone now. (And heck, fantasy sports is leveraging a market as much as anything. Obviously we all care about numbers in this game, but I always want to merge that with scouting observations, tea-leaf reading, market analysis and the like.
