DMC was a top 5 rusher in the league behind that line 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 for me i wouldnt change where i would pick elliot. i'd just pick up whomever wins the battle between mcfadden and morris a bit earlier than expected as his handcuff.... either will fill in and get borderline top 10 production i think. DMC was a top 5 rusher in the league behind that line 2 years ago.i agree on where he will be picked. I had the #3 pick in my draft last year and took him, would do it again this year. But need to make sure you either take his backup at some point, or take another RB relatively high if you do take him. They predict 2-4 games.

The league champ has Zeke and AB. Hoping he lets Zeke go so I can win some fantasy loot this year, I'm to WR heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockpile233 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I drew the #2 pick this year. #1, barring an unforeseen issue, is going to be Bell. We still have time, but I was torn between Zeke and DJ. This makes that decision easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 He's like my only keeper-worthy player and i'd have to drop a 1st to keep him. So hopefully I'm picking in the tail end of the first. Bell went in the top 3 the year he had a 2 game suspension. He was having a good year until he got hurt too.

YoloinOhio Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 I might take a look at Melvin Gordon as my RB2 if I do take Zeke. Considering he had a heck of a season last year and now will be with Alynn. Last place schedule too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I'd still take Elliott if Bell and Johnson are off of the board. I see him as #3 behind those two guys. A guy I think people will sleep on who will have a productive year is Paul Perkins, NY Giants. Jennings is gone and he is clearly their lead guy. I wouldn't be surprised if he put up 1,100-1,200 yards and 10 TD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 @sportscenter Ezekiel Elliott received a report on an NFL investigation into a 2016 domestic violence accusation against him: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20047210/dallas-cowboys-running-back-ezekiel-elliott-preparing-response-nfl-investigation?sf98162523=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Allow me to plug my pal Mocker on the fantasy football subject. He wrote this about Le'Veon Bell last year and I think the principle holds up for Zeke. Thank me later. http://rotoviz.com/2016/07/bong-hits-for-cecil-and-harambe-3-reasons-im-still-drafting-leveon-bell/?hvid=VCG4l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 totally agree. i used the same philosophy with bell last year and it worked out great.... i took him 4th(he slipped becuz people were scared off) and then i just went about drafting rb's and wr's and just pulled the trigger on williams early. i wanna say it was the 6th round. worked out great. i would do the exact same thing in this situation. Yea I managed to get Bell in the late first / early in the 2nd in two leagues last year and he won me matchups single handed down the stretch. You just have to maybe be a bit more willing to take an extra RB early to back him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 IMO we should find a way to organize a 10 team TBD league I'm not sure how you can distribute/collect the funds without involving drama though. That would be a hoot. I'd take down those two Brits we have hanging around here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Ditto. I kept Coleman on the bench way to much! I had a suck year. The comment was meant lightly! We should probably re-visit the idea once preseason starts, start a thread, drum up interest. I'd be game. I mean, I'll get annihilated but I'm game.

Thrivefourfive Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 for me i wouldnt change where i would pick elliot. i'd just pick up whomever wins the battle between mcfadden and morris a bit earlier than expected as his handcuff.... either will fill in and get borderline top 10 production i think. DMC was a top 5 rusher in the league behind that line 2 years ago. Agree! Elloit is top top tier. But don't over spend for his backup. It's essentially a wasted drafted pick because both McFadden and Morris are useless on a good fantasy team, and someone in your league will take the guy too early....don't be that person. i agree on where he will be picked. I had the #3 pick in my draft last year and took him, would do it again this year. But need to make sure you either take his backup at some point, or take another RB relatively high if you do take him. They predict 2-4 games. Me too! And I won the thing It's all a crap shoot though. Luck (sometimes Andrew) is 50% of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 I'd still take him 2nd or 3rd overall. If he gets suspended it'll likely just be a game or two and many RB's will miss a couple during the course of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) I will be interested to see the extent of his involvement in the bar incident. He's a regular at Social in CBus and always has two giant security guards with him http://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/espn-ezekiel-elliott-in-incident-at-dallas-bar-per-source Edited July 17, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
