Who is this year's top RB?

Post by RubeTube »

This is the BIG talker this year boy's! We all know who the top QB,WR,TE is.

Who is the #1 RB though?

Gurley?
Bell?
Johnson?
Zeke?

Who do you like best and why?

I really like Bell. I think Steelers run him into the ground and don't resign him at the end of the year. I really worry about him getting injured though.

I don't know if the Rams can repeat what they did last year but it's a pretty safe bet Gurley will be effective.

I like these two because they play on good teams with dynamic offenses.

I actually like Zeke the best for durability etc but I worry the Cowboys are going to be able terrible and teams stack the box.

I also think David Johnson is amazing but worry about how good the Cardinals will be.

I may pass on all of the above but I think I think I will go Bell if I go "All in".

I won't be spending on a big name WR. Too much depth.

In a standard league, Zeke averaged the 2nd best ppg behind only Gurley. I don't think Gurley will repeat the season he had last year.

I've got the fifth pick and if all 4 of those guys are gone, I'm going Antonio Brown route.
I apologize in advance if what I just said offended or upset you.

I'm in an auction league.
I'm going to pay big for Zeke and Barkely and cobble together the rest of the team. There's always a good amount of mediocre talent out there. Half of those guys get dropped during the year anyway.

I would be tempted by Kamara and Gordon too.....

I think Fournette/Gordon would be a better point:salary ratio.
Zeke is probably going for $45+ and Barkley $40+. [$200 cap] Gordon & Leo would more likely be called later and can be had in the $35 range. Melvin is a bigger fixture in the offense than Barkley and on a team that could offer a more balanced attack (he plays in most passing situations besides 3rd & long) than the Cowboys which may see many 8+ man boxes and an increase in 3 & outs. I love Zeke's TD potential but think Fournette could come close. Fournette also plays behind a top 3 defense and will see an uptick in touches due to a favorable time of possession advantage for the Jags O.

I went Gurley for $61, Kamara for $60 in my $200, 1/2 PPR auction.

Wish me luck. Best WR is DIggs.

Agreed. He was my #1 back a week ago. Sad news for their center having a illness. I'm passing on Zeke. Cowboys are going to suck.

Line matters. I love Cook, but I have to bump him down too.

Im thinking the Barkley kid is going to be a stud. The next Marshall Faulk, maybe even better.
Probably the best RB drafted since Adrian Peterson.
