yesterday's thread fell off the 1st page so figured I'd add a new one.

I'm in 10-team work league. short-ish money ($100) but this league is more important than any league I'm in since we bust each others balls relentlessly.

this goes beyond money.

I have the 2nd pick, non-ppr, otherwise standard league.

Who do you take?

CMC or Kamara? Other? Assuming Barkley goes #1.

and then who do you like at 19/22?

Chubb/Kelce? If that works out?

I hate going TE early and my receivers will be rough, but in my rankings at 19/22 it's Mahomes (and with 4pt per passing TD I can't justify) AB, Kelce and Mike Evans



I read that Zeke is close to signing and will be back week 1

So it is really Zeke, CMC, or Kamara.
I like

McCaffrey over Kamara personally but you really can’t go wrong.

In 10 team leagues it feels like everyone has good teams. Kelce would give you a positional edge over the rest of the league
CMC  
UConn4523 : 8/22/2019 2:48 pm : link
Kamara scares me. He's going to have his touches controlled and has a smaller frame than the other top guys. Not saying I wouldn't love to have him, but he's not on Barkley/CMCs level, IMO.

I wouldn't go TE that early, take your top rated RB or WR at 19 and 22 unless the value is so bad with Kelce still being there (at 22).

I hope he does, this helps me in my other league too.

Do you take Zeke over CmC or Kamara in non-ppr?

This could change but right now I think I have it CMC, Zeke, and then Kamara.
I tihnk barkley/cmc  
UConn4523 : 8/22/2019 3:00 pm : link
are the clear 1/2. I'd probably go Zeke over Kamara if he's playing week 1.
Barkley  
Fish : 8/22/2019 3:12 pm : link
CMC, Zeke if he is back. Could flip flop CMC and Zeke also.
Honestly they are both very comperable  
superspynyg : 8/22/2019 3:13 pm : link
Would I be crazy to take Chubb at 5 in a 10 team non ppr over Hopkins and DJ (I am not really into DJ)

superspynyg : 8/22/2019 3:17 pm : link
Chubb will NOT be there at 19/22. Your looking at Cook, Mixon, Johnson.

These are my rankings which need to be updated re: Gordon, but probably close.

Chubb is 18 and Mixon 15, Cook is 16

If it goes close to chalk, Chubb has a better chance to be there than the others. These are a couple days old.

Maybe none are there, but the draft almost never goes "chalk"

Saquon Barkley 1
Alvin Kamara 2
Christian McCaffrey 3
David Johnson 4
DeAndre Hopkins 5
Davante Adams 6
Ezekiel Elliott 7
James Conner 8
Michael Thomas 9
Le’Veon Bell 10
Julio Jones 11
Todd Gurley 12
Odell Beckham Jr 13
Tyreek Hill 14
Joe Mixon 15
Dalvin Cook 16
JuJu Smith-Schuster 17
Nick Chubb 18
Damien Williams 19
Travis Kelce 20
Antonio Brown 21
Melvin Gordon 22
Mike Evans 23
I'm avoiding CMC  
V.I.G. : 8/22/2019 4:25 pm : link
1) Cam's arm is better / less dump offs
2) Emergence of Samuel to go with a 2nd yr Moore
3) Olsen is back

All indicate a reversion in CMC targets vs 2018 when Cam had less viable target options and no arm to throw it deeper.
Cam being better  
UConn4523 : 8/22/2019 4:41 pm : link
can also help CMC. Cam being able to connect on throws downfield should give CMC better running lanes and more plus matchups in coverage.

He's too good a player to not feature an offense around. Kamara did just fine with Michael Thomas and Ingram soaking up targets and touches.
Speaking of Kamara  
pjcas18 : 8/22/2019 4:46 pm : link
the only reason I'd consider putting Kamara over CmC (and I think those two are really close) is b/c Ingram is gone and the 2nd half of last year they seemed to run more.

So, my question is do you see LatMur eating into Kamara's potential as much as Ingram did or should Kamara see a potential bump by not having Ingram around and having Murray instead.

or is it a wash?
Probably a wash  
UConn4523 : 8/22/2019 4:48 pm : link
I think Kamaras touches will be managed regardless of who the RB2 is.
Agree with UConn.  
robbieballs2003 : 8/22/2019 5:05 pm : link
Kamara's usage is right were NO wants it imo hence why they brought in Murray.
zeke over  
FranchiseQB : 8/22/2019 5:31 pm : link
cmc or kamara
