Well we really have no idea how the Vikings plan to feature Murray but Cook has looked great

Rex Burkhead is a must draft late.....dude is going to get lots of catches and probably double digit TD's......

But should we pick him ahead of Dwayne Washington?

Someone in that NE backfield will be worth something but good luck guessing that. Rex at his current adp is as good as any but I probably wouldn't reach for him in any single digit round.
Lewis has the most talent of any rb on the team but he can't be relied on.

.5 ppr 2rb/2wr/1flex Wecan keep a up to 3 players.

Who would you rather keep with a $300 draft budget gurley for $42 (he could be kept for one additional year at $52) or ware for $8 (he can be kept for 2 additional years at $10 then $13)?

My other keepers:
Jordy $8
Odell $13

His numbers don't matter. All that matters is he was running with the 1's. Gillislee being hurt matters a little bit but Burkhead is better. Always has been.

GL + 3-4 catches a game + 30-40 yards rushing a game = ???????

That's what you're getting with Burkhead at a 12th round adp.......

First year of a new dynasty league (.5 PPR) and i have 2nd pick.

Was talking to the first pick yesterday and he's telling everyone he's taking OBJ. This entire time I was planning on taking bell and mock drafting in accordance with that strategy, obviously thinking first pick was taking DJ.

My draft is tonight and now I'm second-guessing myself. Do I really consider taking Evans or Brown here instead of one of the top 2 RBS? We only have 1 RB slot and 2 WRS with 3 flex spots (2 allow rb, all 3 allow WR).

What are your thoughts?

If you think he's going to beat out Gillislee for like the whole job when he's on a one year deal & they gave the Bills a 5th to sign Gillislee to a long term deal after already having signed him, then you can have that opinion, but it seems highly unlikely to be right if Gillislee is healthy.

There's too many pieces if everyone is healthy to make anyone exceptionally valuable. Fine lottery ticket in 12th round, but meh.

Jmurder is right. BB has featured a different RB each game. Rex is fine for best ball leagues but huge LOL acting like you know the script for game to game.

Id keep him since he has showed that his floor is solid rb2 numbers, and considering what a mess (high school offense iirc) were the rams last year Im 100% sure they can only get better Gurley benefiting from that. They also have a new coach and watkins which can only help.

His ceiling is crazy.....look at the run Dion Lewis had in this offense when he was healthy.....

5'8 195 pound Dion average over 5 catches and 7 carries a game for 7 games before he got hurt in 2015. His Pre game fantasy output was very good during that stretch averaging over 17 ppg in PPR and that's without being the GL back.......

Burkhead has top 5 RB in FF upside.

White had 60/551/5 receiving last year. & he also got a 3 year extension.

I don't really disagree with that upside for Rex...I just think it only happens like 1% of the time.

Sorry not sure what I was looking at with those numbers.....Burkhead is this year Danny Woodhead imo.....but I certainly understand the concern with trying to figure out who BB is going to start from game to game. I just think there's enough evidence to suggest when he does have a dynamic back he rides him like he did Dion Lewis.

So I'm betting on Burkhead's talent.

Dion Lewis was on pace.....

Blount was RB9 last year only catching 7 passes......

It's only a wild prediction until it happens like when I was high on Tyrell Williams before anybody even knew who he was.....Burkhead was Cincy's best RB they had no idea what they had and wasted him away......I've seen it on tape.

He's so versatile. Just a great great all around back. Runs inside and catches the ball great. Runs great routes......

i just quit a mock draft in round 6 because i hated all the players left. lol

Im keeping rb/wr and have 3rd pick in my 12 team league. gronk seems like a great value pick there (fournette will definitely be gone, then likely dez bryant at 2) but then there won't be any startable RB getting back to me. best case scenario is cj anderson or spencer ware which is bleh and already less than 50% to happen, then its like abdullah/ingram/woodhead types which seems awful. is gronk really worth it instead of something like crowell into wr then a te later?

There will probably be a pats homer in your league that will take Gronk before 2.09.

he's not being kept and I have the third pick of everyone remaining, so he will be there unless taken above fournette (never happening) and dez/crowell (maybe)

Most of my (PPR) mocks from the 3-spot are WR-WR-WR if I don't land Gronk, and I'm ok with that. In the 3rd round I'd much rather have Demariyus/Nuk than Miller/Crowell. Although that does say something about how much of a dumpster fire round 3 can be. If I can trade away 3.03 I'd prefer to load up on multiple 4th & 5th round guys, if possible.
