Would I be crazy not to take Gordon at either 22 or 26?

I have the 3rd pick in a 12 man .5 PPR ( snake draft) this weekend— If Kamara is there I am taking him.

My 2nd RD pick is #22, if Gordon is still on the board do I roll dice and take him or take the best Reciever on board and try to get a Mixon/ Jacobs type back at 26 when it comes right back to me?

I would not draft Gordon there. I think there's a solid chance he misses time with the holdout, with a decent chance he misses the entire season.

Really tough for me to dedicate a 2nd round pick to a guy who has a 50/50 shot of giving you 16 games WITHOUT factoring in potential injuries.

Only way I'd consider MG is if it's dynasty. Better off going with best WR and try for someone like Jacobs @ 26

Seems like a who lotta ifs ands and buts.

Just take who you feel is the best player available based on how the board goes

I'd probably still take Zeke in my top 5-6 RBs. I probably wouldn't touch Gordon until my starting lineup is filled. Not counting kicker/defense of course.

Don’t take him. Pretty good chance he misses the whole season

Best WR available IMO

You are either gonna get Barkley McCaffrey or Kamara

Gordon is an above average back in a good offense. I have no idea how it would make sense to pay him top money.

Receiver. I had the same dilemma and went RB with my 1st and 2nd round pick and when my 3rd pick came around there wasn’t really any studs at WR, but who knows what will happen as every draft is different. Just my draft experience TIFWIW

Gordon is off of my board.

Let somebody else take that risk.

If he might miss 4-6-8 weeks or the entire season, you can have him.

I don’t want to draft a player in the 4th round that may hold out.

I went..

11 Kelce
14 Cook
35 Allen
38 Hilton

..the other night

In the first 4 rounds earlier this week. There will be much better options at 22.

Kerryon, Damien Williams, Fournette & Freeman were all available at 22.

Just curious why you took cook over several proven players. I think cook may get bounced for mattison

Listening to a lot of fantasy radio and they are still very high on Cook and he was the highest rated player on my board at 14.

I’ll probably add Mattison as a handcuff..

I’d be shocked if cook got bounced for Mattison. I don’t think they’re in the same talent bucket, and Cook is the incumbent who has been given feature back volume when on the field.
