How would you rank this second tier of RBs in a PPR Scoring System?

Mixon
Cook
Jones
Kerryon
Freeman
Williams
Mack

Wouldnt take four ette if he was 12th round

No Gurley in this tier? Fake tier. Sad.

the best one will be the one that provides the best value, but all things being equal id want

Mixon
LF
Freeman
Cook
Williams
Kerryon
Mack
Jones

This is based on value. Getting one with early second round pick in a 12 teamer you’re not getting much value. 3rd round in a 12 teamer and you’re getting much better value. This is the guessing tier, you’re just taking who you feel best about. I think Cook has the highest ceiling though. Lowest floor is probably Williams if you don’t consider injuries

Hard to get away from Mixon's talent but I really hate his situation this year. Should have tons of volume with a decent floor but the upside is questionable.

Tier 2 is tough to sort out IMO. Still not sure of my order. I want to like Cook a lot but having trouble breaking the perception of him being Glass Joe.

I like LF as a bounce back guy but he carries a lot of risk that would keep me from reaching.

Gurley should be in this tier also. If the knee is managed well he could easily return even high RB1 value, even if he is on somewhat of a pitch count. But he has the risk of being completely removed from the lineup as well or used as a decoy. Highest Risk/Reward IMO or right behind Cooks.

Freeman has a really nice situation but his injuries bother me, would be happy if he fell but wouldn't reach.

If Williams is the guy he feasts, but I'm not confident he holds his spot for the whole year.

I like Mack Jones and Kerryon with their offenses and how they should be used. Feel like they are pretty safe but lack some of the upside that the other risky options have. Maybe like Jones best IF he gets clear RB1 usage on his team.

What do you hate

Zac Taylor’s scheme is going to be great for him. Not to mention Taylor went into LAR and doubled Gurleys targets and RZ usage

It was gonna be improved but It was a bottom 5 unit last season and Mixon still played well

ZT is bringing that outside zone scheme to cincy - Gurley and AK have been the only backs who graded out better on outside zone runs the last two seasons.

Dalvin Cook
Joe Mixon
Kerryon Johnson
Leonard Fournette
Devonta Freeman
Marlon Mack
Aaron Jones
Damien Williams

Was higher on Williams before Reid came out and said he'd do RBBC. I know that's coach speak, but damn it if Hyde and that rookie didn't look pretty good Thursday night. Just a lot of available legs in that offense, and I don't think Reid really cares who is on the field at RB.

I like Dalvin Cook the most of that group.

I think going to the Kubiak zone blocking scheme will highlight Cook’s strengths.
