David Johnson and Adrian Peterson.

I've got the number 2 overall pick. 14 man league, 1/2 PPR. I'm assuming Antonio will go #1. OBJ, Julio, and Gurley being kept.

I really love the Dallas OLine but how dumb and biased am I being? Really only considering David Johnson over him.

My keeper is Fleener in the 9th BTW.

That's an awful lot of risk taking a rookie with pick number 2

Peterson is about as safe as you can get. To be honest I would be taking Dez or Lamar Miller instead. Much higher floor and has a ceiling that's equal.

David Johnson is sort of in a timeshare with Chris Johnson and Ellington so he won't receive the workhorse share.

I don't trust a rookie RB even behind the Cowboys line. Elliot has never played in a 16 game season and will hit the rookie wall during the year.

I would take Johnson, but Elliot is fine there. RB in the first round is an upside play. Elliot has as much of that as anyone

David Johnson


Only had 100 yds rushing in a game ONCE last year.

Here's how I look at it....

Zeke has the better Oline.
Zeke is on a team that will run more to protect Romo and the D.
Zeke is probably slightly more talented.
Johnson has the experience edge but only slightly.
Johnson plays Seattle and St. Louis 4 games. Tough run D

It's PPR. And by the way two other games he has 99 and 92 yards. But I digress. He also had, in just the 5 games he started.

Receiving.
2/21/1
5/31
4/42
3/88
3/34

The fact that it's a keeper league means that number 2 isn't exactly what you are thinking.

And Danny Woodhead was the RB3 overall and had zero 100 yard games

And David Johnson started 5 fricking games and had one 100 yard game He was also the 7th highest scoring RB overall with 5 starts

And St Louis was 20th in the league in rush defense

And everything in your post is just about wrong

Be very wary of who you listen to on this board.

I'm not an expert but damn did I lol at a couple of responses in here.

He's not in any sort of time share whatsoever. He is the guy. If Arians liked using timeshares at RB, DJ would have had a lot more PT last season. DJ is the guy in AZ, barring any injury.

You missed all this Gyno! Zeke plays in a much easier division. That's how I should have phrased it.

I don't think we've seen a rookie with this good of an opportunity to start their career off in a long time. You could basically put any average rb behind that o line and if their healthy they'll finish top 5-10. I think zeke is definitely above average and should easily finish top 5 if not top 3 if he stays healthy. Taking him at 2 seems a little early, I got him 10th in my draft but we do full point ppr and first 6 picks were wideouts. Since y'all do .5 and having those keepers off the board I don't mind the pick at all.

I like EE as well but the hype surrounding him is getting out of control.

Chris Johnson isn't in Arizona to sit the bench, he's going to get touches in the game. And Arians like using Ellington on 3rd downs. Not saying it'll be 33/33/33 but I don't see Johnson getting over 70% touches every week especially when they need him for the playoffs later in the season.

He also plays for a team with a questionable defense. If the Cowboys are playing from behind Elliot is kind of irrelavent. Plus the O-Line benefits Romo more than anything.

Definitely, great pick up there.

#1 or #2 overall, I couldn't do that though.
