I've got the #4 pick...

**The Franchise** · 08-09-2011, 09:42 AM

Money Keeper league. This is the first year....so everyone is available.

6 points for TDs.
.25 ppr for RBs.

Who's going to have the bigger year?

Jamaal Charles
Ray Rice
Lesean McCoy.

I'm assuming that Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson (possibly) and Arian Foster are all gone before my pick.

The PPR aspect hurts JC, IMO.

Rice has averaged 70 catches the past two seasons, while JC has averaged around 40.

Plus, Rice is going to get 75-100 more carries than JC, assuming health.

**The Franchise** · 08-09-2011, 09:49 AM

Rice now has Ricky Williams backing him up though.

Williams is going to be less of a TD vulture than McGahee and McClain were, IMO.

No worries.

Even if they get more carries than you'd expect, Rice is still getting more carries than JC, and definitely more throws out of the backfield.

**The Franchise** · 08-09-2011, 09:56 AM

Yeah....I think I'm going to rank them:

1. Rice
2. Charles
3. McCoy

Hopefully there are some good WRs left when it comes back around to me.

Draft Charles and enjoy rooting even more for your guy.

It's a money league. As much as I would love to have Charles and Bowe on my team....if it doesn't make sense or doesn't hold value....I'm not doing it.

In a free league....I'd take Charles.

Exoter175 · 08-09-2011, 11:35 AM

I'd probably rank them like this.

McCoy
Charles
Rice

Some of you are forgetting that McCoy totaled 78 receptions last year for 592 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Certainly going to be productive this year with the Eagles schedule and free agent moves.

If he can stay healthy this year.

Ah. Didn't realize you had Bowe. Then yes, go with Rice first.

**The Franchise** · 08-09-2011, 01:09 PM

I don't have Bowe. I'm just saying....that I'm not going to be a homer when it comes to Chiefs players. If they present value and the pick makes sense....I'll take them. But you won't see me taking Moeaki early...or drafting the Chiefs defense if someone better is there.

KurtCobain · 08-09-2011, 01:15 PM

I think top draft positions this year are nothing to be prized. I draft about 8-10th in all of my leagues, and I couldn't be happier.

I thought that last year.....but there is a good possibility that in my first 3 picks....I can come out of it with a "top" RB and two good WRs.

Sofa King · 08-09-2011, 02:09 PM

Go for 2 good Rb's and either a top 5 QB or start in with a wr.

RB's go fast and it's hard to get good ones, and they generally score many more points over the 2nd tier of rbs. Much more than 1st tier wr's vs 2nd tiers.

Even so, he put up what? 7 or 8 touchdowns and 1600ish yards last year in their offense?

I'll take him over Rice any day of the week, and put him right up there with Charles who had a slightly better season IMO.

That being said, I rank him higher this year looking at their respective schedules and free agent signings.

How do you rank him higher after their free agent signings?

What did the Eagles sign on offense? Reid is still a pass happy coach.

The Ravens signed the best FB in the game to block for Rice.....and the Ravens are still a run first team. McGahee gone. McClain gone. Ricky Williams is old and isn't really going to steal shit from Rice.
