Given the information that you have provided I would go with
5A. Rice


5C. Charles
5D. Megatron

Rice is the closest thing to a sure thing as far as catches out of the backfield considering past 3 seasons he has amassed 78,63,76,61 receptions. Yes, Rice will have his TD's vultured by Bernard Pierce but he is guaranteed to get his touches week in and week out. As far as consistency, Rice had 3 or more receptions in 13 games last season.

Charles is also a decent pick here because of Fat Andy's system (see Westbrook/Shady)but also remember that his QB is Alex Smith and that Bowe is the only legit WR threat in the offense which will allow defenses to focus on him. Maybe McCluster can develop into a true slot WR but I just don't expect too much from the Chiefs in fat boy's first year.

Megatron is a monster, a force who cannot be stopped but taking him at 5 is a little too early for me given what you have said about how RB's fly off the board. If this is a snake draft you will be able to pick up an elite WR in the second round with your pick (Bmarsh or AJ).

With that being said I would not touch McCoy with a 10 ft. pole PPR or not. I don't expect Bryce Brown to supplant him, but he could do some damage as far as overall touches go. Don't get me wrong McCoy is extremely talented but there is way too much uncertainty for me to gamble on him at 5.

TLDR: Rice is on a different tier than everyone else available especially for a PPR scoring system

Charles catches 40 balls a year Pre Reid.

McCoy is coming off seasons of
78 48 54.

Chalres will probably see a nice bump in catches.

Also, KC OL is one of the best in the league.
