Dynasty 12 man .5 ppr. 1st overall pick in league's 1st year. Gurley or Zeke. I want Gurley but Zeke is a year younger.

Need to think younger for dynasty brah. Definitely need to get a big rookie with your 1st round pick. Chubb/Barkley/Ridley/etc.

DAVID JOHNSON



...its amazing how many people sleep on him.

rotoworld has him #1

[pl_powr]

I think diggs is way better. I saw. Stat that indicated that if diggs in questionable or on the injured report at all he's basically a scrub for that week, but if he's not he's a top 24 guy Everytime and we've all seen him be the wr1 in various weeks with his wild deep tds. Diggs truther checking in

Stats past 2 years are pretty even. That’s a fact.

obj is the safest pick in dynasty. He will be good for the next 8-10 years. Even if you take Barkley you will be lucky to get locked in production for 5+ years. Dynasty wr>>>RB all those first round redraft rbs will be done in 3 years. Look at last year DJ gets a hand I jury taking possibly 20% of his career off (1 year) and it wasn't the first year either, he's maybe got a couple more years in him. He's one of the older backs at 26. If you are going to go RB it's gotta be gurley. He's younger and has been as productive. Plus the Rams look better than the cards for the Long haul, but like I said obj is the concencus 1.01 in dynasty leagues

I personally would go RB. Everyone in our league is hurting for RB depth as it’s the hardest position to always get consistency year after year. You can never have too many RBs and if you get lucky and accumulate a bunch of good ones, trade them off.

Right now I’m thinking about trading Melvin Gordon for Alex Collins and his two 1st round picks because my RB depth sucks.

. Provide link. Diggs in higher on a week to week basis

diggs:

2017: 64/849/8
2016: 84/903/3

thielen:

2017: 91/1276/4
2016: 69/967/5

so if Diggs' ADP rises to the 2nd round, then I would rather use that pick on someone else and get Thielen in the 3rd or later.

good luck predicting a starting wr with draft picks if you do that tho. Dynasty 101 - pay up for wr's and restock rbs at the rookie draft. The longevity and production of a good wr is hard to come by. Check out this adp from 2015 and you can see wr's vs RB. Most of those wr's are still first round pics. Only one RB is still relevant at all

that's year to year tho you are missing that diggs is a week winner when he's healthy. Week to week <<diggs

Diggs does work when he's healthy. If you look at his games when he's healthy that p much where he gets 90% of his work. In the games he's on the Injury report he doesn't do anything (this Includes questionable, etc.) Where as thielen has been pretty steady but not a week winner like diggs outside of a few weeks end of last season.

You are free to choose which ever player you like man, we can argue this point till we're blue in the face, but personally I'll take the upside of diggs and his top 5 potential over an aging thielen in an offense where thielen can be schemed out.

[pl_powr]

that's year to year tho you are missing that diggs is a week winner when he's healthy. Week to week <<diggs

I'll take the guy that plays more games and you're missing that this was about Diggs' ADP and if it rises I would rather take Thielen a round later.

[weightsb4dates]

I'll take the guy that plays more games and you're missing that this was about Diggs' ADP and if it rises I would rather take Thielen a round later.

right now in 1/2ppr diggs is going behind thielen by about 5 spots. I think it's more realistic that thielen falls behind diggs, rather than diggs moving up ahead of thielen. I guess it just boils down to how much you believe in diggs talent as to whether or not he's worth the pick at the beginning of the third round. To each his own. Good luck with your pick regardless of who it is.

Just to refresh everyone’s memory...



In 2016, DJ had 293 attempts for 1293 yards and 16 TDs.. He also had 80 receptions for 879 yards and 4 TDs.



Those are absolutely stupid numbers. DJ is the best receiving back in football.



Don’t overthink this. Assuming health (which is the case with anyone), DJ is in play to be the overall RB1.

If you follow him on instagram, he looks very motivated and thinks people forgot about him, hes about to remind everyone. His goal is 1000 rushing and 1000 receiving yards this season.

I don't disagree with this but the guy up above was asking about dynasty where longevity is very important.

Dj could very well be the rb1 again this year tho

I know nothing about football, but I am very good At fantasy basketball.

Where can I go to get a crash course in who to draft.

12 man not ppr league. $60 per person.

I have the number six pick.

But looking for players to target

this thread is a good start. Also resources like fantasy pros Rotoworld, as well as radio shows etc. NFL, cbs, ESPN, NBC sports, Fox sports, etc. All of those places have fantasy draft guides.

I'd go to Fantasy pro's and look at their top 300 players and just go in order they rank them. Pay attention to position limits too

He won't last the entire year. Better have Brieda on your roster if you're drafting McKinnon.

idk about breida either he's already having shoulder issues and that other rookie they brought in, moster looked pretty good. We'll have to see how it goes

nice. At first glance I thought "does this guy know how dynasty works" but upon further review you have some long term studs like mixon, cooks, Wilson, Prescott, celek, Taylor, brown. The rest of your guys should be good for at least this year so that's good too. Cool man, good luck. (Demarco tho? For real)

Thanks - definitely a bit weaker in terms of long-term strategy. The NFL changes so much year to year I figured it was ok to take the short-term value guys and see how things played out.
