No. CEH is an unknown. Granted he will get a huge workload, he has yet to prove himself in the NFL. Cook and Kamara you know what you get. At number 5 you probably won’t have both unless Michael Thomas is selected. Is this a PPR or standard? If PPR, I’d select Michael Thomas. How many teams is the league?

10 team ppr. Thomas is being kept. I just don’t like the contract thing with kamara and plus he got an epidural this week. CEH is young, hungry and healthy

Ultimately it is up to you. It is your team. Gotta go with the gut instinct. This year is such a crap shoot with no preseason games. If there were preseason games and can see these rookie players play, i would feel more comfortable. It all comes down to what you want your team to be. Good luck

No because of the current environment.

He has yet to take a NFL snap in preseason or regular season.

I have taken him at 5 though just for the fun of having him on your team.

I don't have a problem with him over Cook because Cook is almost guaranteed to drop an injury and miss games. Plus with Cook you have to handcuff him with Mattison.

I got him at 15 the other day in the 2nd after taking Thomas in the 1st at 5.

It would be nice to get back to 12 owners in that league.

I would not. I love drafting rookie RBs--especially when it turns out to be a genius move but . . . there's always a but.

But if Williams had not opted out, CEH would be the RB2 on that roster and probably not generating too much buzz. Let's face it, Clyde is an LSU fav, but he's not being drafted based on his skill set. He's getting drafted because of his situation.

Cook, on the other hand, has proven talent and a great situation. Kamara I'm waffling about. Want to say he motivated to prove his worth, but who knows.

Bottom line: I'd pick Cook and pray for his health.

Edit: Also, there's this thread

I have pick 8 and can’t decide whether to get him or Henry. Leaning Henry. I definitely wouldn’t get him over cook or Kamara though, rookie rbs are so risky. I’ve been burned several times in the past (Bishop Sankey, Ameer Abdullah, Ronald Jones) but have also hit with Kareem Hunt

I drafted him in the 6th spot PPR 12 man league. Kamara went 4 Cook went 5, for me it came down to CEH, Derrick Henry or Michael Thomas

For what it’s worth I would have taken CEH before Cook but not Kamara

Well I ended up doing it. Cook fell to me with the 5th pick. I took CEH. I love cook but I don’t like that shoulder he injured when the playoffs started. Maybe I drafted CEH because I drafted Kareem hunt 2 years ago and watched him explode on the Thursday season opener with the chiefs. Hoping CEH does the same next Thursday.
