Your logic is not right. You can not compare a qb to a rb ever. If he is the 10th best rb, then you should be comparing him to the 20th best rb. If you are looking at a qb, then look at the difference in scoring from the second best fantasy qb to the 6th best. I haven't looked at it but most of the time, the points are not much different which is why I don't take a qb that early

Ummm....why? Dude's a bruising hard runner on a run-heavy football team. I'd snatch Greene in the second round in a heartbeat and I'd take him before the likes of Grant and Mendenhall and Mathews.

OoooooK

I know how to compare the positions to see who the best player available is and trust me a top 2-3 QB/WR will score more points relative to their position than a 10-12 RB.

it all depends on what you can get when you can get it. Our league is flex ppr and the 19th ranked QB scored 247, now compare that to RBs and only the top 5 scored higher than 247, WR top 11.
So basically it's RBs are at a premium as the way i see it.

BPA is always the best way to go imo. Love/hate no one. Take bpa and you'll be fine.

Compiled most of his points in 1 game.

Up and down performances in all the others. High and low YPC. Presence of LT means his workload will get cut into as well.

I don't hate him. But I like Matthews at 11 much better.

Also, I don't think Matthews finishes as the 10th RB. I could see him cracking into top 5ish territory.

Yeah I agree, that's what I do.

If Andre is there, I'm taking him. I'm a big believer in RBs = Championships though.

QB value can be had much later and the discrepancy between a top 5 qb and a top 12 QB isn't all that great IMO.

Especially when I think I can wait 4-5 rounds and get a guy like Flacco, who I think will have a big season.
