Anyone else think the people reaching for Barkley might regret it? I seen he had some hamstring issues yesterday,but regardless it just seems absurd to me that I’ve seen him in the same tier as gurly/bell.

I get he’s going to be the man on the ground for NYG,and his style seems to mesh well with the NFL (ability to run/catch).

I just have issues taking someone who has never played an NFL down as my most important draft pick.

I'm sure he'll get some points here or there. He'll rip off a run or catch when the defense breaks down and doesn't tackle or something wonky happens. But do I expect him to be a consistent point generator week in and week out? Nah.

Yea,I’ve got quite a few backs ahead of him.

Bell
Gurly
Zeke
Gordon
Kammara
Hunt(gut feeling is Hunt is not gonna touch last years stats,but I definitely could be wrong).

In one of my 8 team leagues I had pick #2 (snake order style) and ended up with Gurly,Gordon and Ingram. I prefer flex position style rb’s when possible.

I saw a FF article that said he's a sure thing because he's the best RB prospect since Adrian Peterson.

I mean....there's a guy going 4 spots before him that was pretty highly regarded, but whatever.

Gurley or LeVeon, whichever falls to you. If keeper status is a consideration then Gurley all the way.

Keepers can only be folks you draft AFTER round 7 and then you lose 2 rounds up the next year if you keep them and you can only keep them for 3 years.. so 2 years ago I picked Michael Thomas in the 13th... he was my keeper lasted year for an 11th and will be again this year for me :)

Anybody have any sleeper picks? I was thinking Marquise Goodman from San Fran might be decent. He's looking pretty sharp in preseason and Jimmy G seems comfortable throwing to him. I don't have a ton of faith in Garcon either.I might end up using him at the FLEX position against poor pass coverage teams.I picked him up off waivers in my 8 team league. TE is always a weird position too. I ended up going with Jimmy Graham hoping that he becomes an end zone target for Aaron Rodgers. All the top TE"s were gone by the time I got around to filling the position.
