cloose Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Ok fellas I have the 4th pick in a 12 team .5 PPR. I am taking Zeek or DJ with that pick coming back all my mocks have Howard and McKinnon available and sometimes even Freeman. For me if Freeman is there that is where I go, BUT if not Howard or McKinnon and why. Thanks All! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Peru Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I say Howard, He"s going to be the workhorse possibly a 3 down back from some of the info I read. With Mckinnon he has never had much over 150 carries and can he handle a big workload, he is not a very stout back.I know he is a better pass catcher but I don"t think he will finish the season without missed games due to injuries,he is already banged up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giants56 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I would go Howard as well. Safer, I have McKinnon as a late keeper but as an earlier pick he scares me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 WR not an option to you? Should still be a lot of WR value on the board and you are likely still looking at a comparable RB in the 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverEnough- Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Howard. The McKinnon hype is out of control 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloose Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Thanks all...great feedback and much appreciated. Yes Big...it's an option but the drop off from the RB I can get in the second to the one I would get in the third I think is greater than the drop off from a WR in the second to the WR in the third in our 12 team league. Bascially in all my mocking work I go from Freeman, Howard or McKinnon in the second to the likes of Alex Collins, Kenyan or Jay Ajayi...I would rather have anyone in the first group as my second RB than the later. Where as the WR in the second is the likes of Mike Evan vs. say Golden Tate or Doug Baldwin in the third...not as big of a drop there IMO.

Jeffrey M Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Howard much better RB, with new head coach Nagy who is way more innovative than John Fox. Look at Howard’s production the past 2 years, 16 TDS, compared to McKinnon’s 9 TDS, and Howard has more than double the rushing yards the past 2 years. No brainer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am buying into the McKinnon hype but don't think he'll be the workhorse. He'll get his touches and catch a lot of passes but not sure about his effectiveness as a rusher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
