cloose Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Drafting 8th in a 10 team .5 PPR league. Consensus is that Shady, Forsett, will be there for me. Whatcha all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I think they're both 2nd round (maybe 3rd) RB's in a 10 teamer.. Edited August 12, 2015 by Shorttynaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloose Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Curious because every single mock draft I do has them being there....this one had Forte dropping but there they are for my pick. Overall | ECR | PPR300/307 1. Le'Veon Bell (PIT - RB) S 2. Adrian Peterson (MIN - RB) 3. Jamaal Charles (KC - RB) 4. Eddie Lacy (GB - RB) 5. Matt Forte (CHI - RB) 6. Marshawn Lynch (SEA - RB) 7. C.J. Anderson (DEN - RB) 8. Antonio Brown (PIT - WR) 9. Justin Forsett (BAL - RB) 10. LeSean McCoy (BUF - R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'd take Forte over either of them and he's been dropping to at least 8 in everything I've done so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud29 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) I am really surprised how low people are valuing McCoy He's a tough read. On the one hand, he totally honda the bed last year, and with no real threat of a QB in Buffalo, he could be facing lots of stacked boxes. On the other hand, last year may have just been the product of a bad system fit, and with the lack of good QB play, he'll be getting a huge workload. There are definitely safer options out there, I wouldn't feel too great trotting him out as my RB1. ETA - looking at that list, though, I would definitely put him above Forsett.

cloose Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Great points All....and I really feel not enough discussion is taking place about RB's at this level....this is where champions usually come from in leagues.....6-10(12) teams.

ETA - looking at that list, though, I would definitely put him above Forsett. weird to see Forsett ranked above McCoy I'll likely have my choice of Forte, McCoy or a stud WR in my keeper league. Only hesitation about Forte is Fox likes multiple RBs and in his contract year they could faze him out towards the end of the season if they aren't in contention. Seems the new regime is cutting bait will all the older big contract players. I have no idea what to make of McCoy either, he dances too much for my liking but maybe a change of scenery could help. The plus side is they traded a lot for him and he seems motivated so they are going to give him a heavy workload. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was always out of necessity more than desire. He rode one guy in Carolina until he was hurt then went to the next one. The GMs kept bring in new guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rode one guy in Carolina until he was hurt then went to the next one. The GMs kept bring in new guys We’ve always been believers in kind of a 1-2 punch and rolling guys through there whether it’s the d-line; a wave of those guys to stay fresh," Bears head coach John Fox told CSN Chicago. "I’ve always had the approach the same thing with running backs." http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/bears-looking-to-reinstate-1-2-punch-at-running-back-under-fox-gase-051815 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloose Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Legit Concern..... BILLS MAY LIMIT LESEAN MCCOY'S TOUCHESBy Keith Kraska, Bills Correspondent, Wed, Aug 12th 5:11pm EDT Bills offensive coordinator Greg Roman says LeSean McCoy's touches over the past two seasons will factor into his usage. McCoy has topped 300 carries in each of the past two years and has more than 1,700 career touches. (Jay Skurski) Fantasy Impact: The Bills are loaded in the backfield, with Fred Jackson, Karlos Williams, Bryce Brown and Anthony Dixon behind McCoy, so they have the horses to lighten Shady's load to around, say, 15 to 18 carries a game. This is a concern that knocks McCoy into the second round of redrafts, where several other feature backs have issues. Was this Helpful?

Asskickas Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Shady is too risky for my taste. Forsett is risky too which is why I tend to leave rbs alone at the end of the 1st unless I can get one with tons of upside. If I were you I would get a stud WR like DT and then get Demarco in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCoy's landed in a great spot with a no-nonsense coach that'll employ a run-first offense with little to no competition for carries. Forsett may be undersized, but was a PPR stud last year and is set to see even MORE looks in the passing game. And, like McCoy, has little competition for carries. If anything, it's Murray that has the most risk. And I'm a Murray honk... but those statements are just ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He (and I) would pass on McCoy/ Forsett and say Jeffrey in favor of DT or Dez and Murray. Hell I've seen Hill go late 1st. That's crazy IMO Edited August 16, 2015 by Zooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
