Picking 4th this year in my $$$ league. I've been expecting Zeke to fall to me and had decided to go ahead and take him there. Then I got a bug in my ear about 0RB. Is that stupid from the 4 spot?

You can win in a variety of ways. I won in 2015 (PPR) by going Juiio/AB with my first two picks. Grabbed Allen Robinson late and crushed, winning the title game with Tim Hightower as a starter at RB. Won the same league last year going Gurley/Cook/Kelce. No WR with the first three picks but took JuJu in round 4.

I think even in PPR, if you draft top 3, you should def go one of Barkley/CMC/Kamara. If you like Zeke at 4, take him. You can go WR/WR at 17/24.

Ultimately, whichever strategy and whichever position you ignore, the key is to identify later round sleepers who give you early round production. I do think that Zero RB is a late pick tactic this year, though. I don’t think you take any WR with your 1st rounder until pick 5 or 6 at least.

Odd. So I'm just going to ride the coat-tails of last years advice. Do the opposite of what I say.

so who would you take at 4 if CMC, Kamara, and Barkley are gone? I was thinking DJ until I saw that Raider game.

I'm still keeping an eye on Gurley. We seem to forget that he had a pretty monster year last season.

edit: DJ scares the fuck out of me because that Zona' oline is still NOT good. Plus you have a midget rookie QB who will either make fools of us or prove why 5'8 gunslingers don't work. Either or.

Even numbered years are gold (won last year) odd? Usually straight to the shitter. Like....bad. Bound and determined to turn it around this year though.

I almost didn’t play this year... then i found an chrome extension that would import my player list so i dont have to track the draft as close.... well that and i remember I get Michael Thomas for a 13th round pick for the last time...

OK I'm on full tilt. Draft is tomorrow and I can't take Zeke if he's going to be turning down 2nd highest paid RB money.

The Bell situation from last year has far reaching impact. A lot of people are being chased off by that boogeyman.

I look at it like this - football is a crap shoot on who stays relatively healthy. I have no control over what happens to the players I draft or how they're used. Why Would I add another variable of risk by taking a player threatening a hold out after seeing it work another players 'success' last year....?!

I'm sadly passing on zeke.

  1. Mahomes
  2. Ertz (before Kelce)
  3. Kittle
  4. David Montgomery
  5. Tyler Lockett
  6. Miles Sanders
  7. Fitz
  8. Tom Brady
  9. DeSean Jackson
  10. Rams D
  11. Justin Tucker
  12. Trey Burton (3rd TE)
  13. John Brown
  14. Eagles D
  15. Robbie Gould
  16. Brett Maher (3rd K)
  17. Jack Doyle (4TH TE!!!)

Love you, Abe!
