Pick 2 RB Week 1

[bbgarnett]

Hello,

Needing help deciding which 2 to start. Yahoo H2H PPR league standard scoring and settings except 6 points per passing touchdown instead of 4 and 1 point per reception instead of 0

Pick 2

Christian McCaffrey @ SF

Carlos Hyde Vs Car

Mike Gillislee Vs KC

Adrian Peterson @ MN

Thanks,

McCaffrey and Peterson.

McCaffrey and Peterson.

Agreed.

[PenguinHunter]

McCaffrey and Hyde.

I know the matchup against Carolina is not very good for Hyde... but is Petersons matchup against the Vikings any better?

I'm here for the 4 touchdown Adrian Peterson revenge game

McCaffrey and Hyde.

For me, I'm generally a little leery of Hyde this season and (if possible) wouldn't mind waiting a week to see what the Niners look like before firing him up. And this also happens to be a week where I'm interested in getting AP into the lineup.

Perhaps it's foolish, but I have to believe the Saints will make it a point to get Peterson a TD or two going against his former team for the first time. And perhaps even more notable than whatever sentimental incentive the Saints may have to help AP succeed against the Vikes, I think game script also likely favors having AP get heavy red zone usage. While I do believe the Saints will be able to move the ball, the sledding might be more difficult than usual for their passing game in the red zone this week with Willie Snead sitting and Michael Thomas likely facing shadow coverage from Xavier Rhodes.

Just my gut feeling.

I think we can all agree on McCaffrey in the 1 slot.

And I think we can all agree that none of the rest are great options, and you're taking a flyer regardless.
Hyde - clear path to the majority of work this week, but up against a tough team
Peterson - not clear how he will be implemented and matchup is so-so, but yes, revenge game so he's likely fresh and motivated
Gillislee - I don't think anyone ever knows what the Patriots do ever, especially with their backfield, boom or bust here

I think I would take Hyde myself.

Thanks for all your input guys.

Second this ranking...Gillislee is definitely bottom of the list. I'd love to start AP but usage is a concern in the 3-headed backfield the Saints have.

Welp Gillislee has 3 TDs to this point in the game LOL and I also have Brady and Gronk but they seem to be calling Gillislee's name tonight, oh well can't win them all.
