I have #3 pick in 12 team 1/2 pt ppr. I know I sound crazy BUT I feel Zeke will struggle a bit with teams stacking the box w/o any WR or TE threat and concerned Johnson will take a step back due to rust and AZ O Line not being the best and a weak O in general., Kamara should regress and Ingram will be back. Sooooooo my next in line is Barkley who I feel is in a great situation with the talent and scheme along with his skills and touch opportunities may bode for a massive year.Am I crazy for drafting SB at #3?
I love Barkley. Covered him in high school and I’m a PSU alum but I wouldn’t take him over the big four and probably not Kamara either. It’s just the unknown with Barkley is my fear. Would I take him late first or early second, for sure. Has to be the right spot for me.
But go with your gut. I have my philosophies over the years and I’ve had success but doesn’t mean you don’t have your ideas either. You know he’s going to get the workload so you can argue taking him among the top four and over Kamara when Ingram returns.
Thanks everyone, although I am a 25 year FF vet I am thinking like a amatuer because there is a hint of a emotion involved. I am a huge Giants fan and despise the Cowgirls! I can't see myself enjoying rooting for Zeke but could see myself having a blast if SB does what I think he can do. I know, I know FF 101.Ill probably role with DJ. Thanks again and GL.
I think that is nuts. Barkley had some big games in 2017, Iowa where he gained almost 300 total yards, but he also had OSU where he gained 67 yrds on 25 attempts. All the experts love Barkley, but where were they all last year totally missing on Kamara. Elliot is as close to a sure thing as there is, and Johnson is not going to be rusty, he is going to be healthy. He will need to be healthy to carry that team. But Arizona was 8-8 last year with no rb1, and no qb. The Giants also have OBJ who demands the ball, and Engram who will get his. The Cardinals and Cowboys have nobody but Zeke, and DJ.
Zeke is going to be a beast this year. He should get over 70 catches also. No way Barkley out performs him this year. Zeke could break 2000 yds.
Was going to ask similar question at #5. Pretty confident taking SB over Ezekiel or Johnson, but struggling to take him over Kamara (my league is 1 pt PPR) or antonio brown
