just had a couple things would like to hear other opinions on as I prepare for keeper selections and mock drafts.
1. Any concerns with McCaffrey this year?
In a keeper league I pick 2nd. I believe Cedee Lamb will go #1 and that leaves McCaffrey to me at 2.
Tyreek Hill, Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Bijan next in ADP (Breece Hall is a keeper).
Would you be comfortable with McCaffrey or Lamb regardless who goes #1?
2. How do you feel about Kyler Murray as QB1? I can keep him in the 8th round, and his ADP is more 6th. I think he has good keeper value with MHJ.
last year the guy in my league with pick #1 traded with the guy who had pick #3 and they swapped in round 4 too - that was the only compensation.
straight up trade - no other picks or players.
Because the guy who had the #1 pick was concerned about CmC. So he picked Travis Kelce #3. It didn't end well for that guy.
CmC went on to put up TD's in 17 straight games (not all last year, but still).
CMC, if healthy, is going to get 200+ carries, along with 70+ targets on a top tier offense. He's the goal line back, and it's the same exact depth chart behind him as last year. At a position where bellcows are becoming more rare, he's a great start, and can allow you to hammer WRs after.
I like Murray but haven’t done my homework on when I’d take him.
PPR league.
My bold take. Number 1 RB this year: Breece Hall.
My bold take. Number 1 RB this year: Breece Hall.
He's rated the #2 RB by ADP after McCaffrey so it's not THAT bold.
Lamb will lead the league in targets. There are many mouths to feed on the Miami offense.
It's all about the math.
If CMC stays healthy he will be the number one player in fantasy. That's because he is the number one option in that offense.
When players are equal take the high volume player.
but that assumes Beckham stays healthy and when's the last time that happened.
I think they're close (Hill and Lamb)
My keeper is Kyler Murray for 9th round pick. I do have the ability to keep James Cook for 8th round pick; however, a potential Top 10 QB to use as my SuperFlex is too enticing to pick a RB.
With that in mind, I have the 4th pick, and SuperFlex strategy says to go QB (Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, or Jalen Hurts). However, part of me wants to draft either CMC or Lamb with the 4th pick if either is available. I can then try to draft a second tier QB in the 2nd or 3rd round to use as my SuperFlex and use Murray as my QB.

I don't mind that strategy RC. Normally my tendency would be QB at 4 b/c it's superflex, but with so many rookie QB's and if you keep Kyler I do think you can 2nd and 3rd QBs later. Alternatively say Lamb, Hill, CMC go 1-3 or some combination of them (maybe 2 of them not all 3) then you have your pick of the available QB's - win/win IMO.
