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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

Webster Guy Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The key to winning your fantasy league is the same as it is for an NFL team: gotta be relatively healthy at the end of the season or you are toast. Small suspensions early on are meaningless in the big picture. Take zeke where you normally would. In other news, he seems like a nice kid in interviews but its looking like he might have a little thug in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He received a signing bonus of $16.350 million and received the final deferred installment of the bonus in March. If he is suspended, the guarantees on the contract will void and he will have to pay back some of the already-earned signing-bonus money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a high football IQ as well. But he's simply not street smart and makes poor decisions. And unfortunately he's not a nice guy. Maybe he used to be, but he isn't anymore.
