Anyone else leaning Shady over Charles for #1 overall?

I won the #1 today in one of our leagues and immediately assumed I'd take JC with the pick. Now given time to think I'm starting to lean towards McCoy.

Jamaal Charles 1,287 rush yds/ 5.0 rush avg/ 12 TD -- 70 rec/ 693 rec yds/ 9.9 rec avg/ 7 TD

LeSean McCoy 1,607 rush yds/ 5.1 rush avg/ 9 TD -- 52 rec/ 539 rec yds/ 10.4 rec avg/ 2 TD

The numbers were pretty close last year between them, McCoy had the rushing yds edge and Jamaal had the big edge in TDs, but it'll be tough to repeat that number.

I don't think you can really go wrong either way, but I like McCoy's offense and schedule more so I'm giving him the slight edge .

PPR?

cause Charles was targeted more in the passing game. 40 more targets. Philly is adding Sproles, so that gap may widen.


I dont think McCoy can run for 1600 yards again. Not sure he's built for another 320 carry season

Sproles will steal carries from Shady this year. I think that gives JC the edge.

Honestly, with Norv Turner calling plays in MIN, itd be crazy not to consider Peterson.

I like Charles more than McCoy, though.

Definitely, it would be tough to not go after Shady with 1st pick

AP IMO.

A much higher floor than JC and McCoy...just as much ceiling. Safer with no real question marks coming into the year.

If I were # 1, id probably go with Charles. For me, im at #4 and I am fairly confident that the 3 spot is taking Peyton and 1 or 2 is taking McCoy. So if 1 or 2 takes AP then I get Charles and im thrilled with that idea.

Now, my conundrum is what to do if AP and Forte fall to me. Where does one go with that?
