    Default Choice of RBs - Standard League

    Which RB do you take in a standard league?? Why

    Melvin Gordon
    Saquon Barkley
    Alvin Kamara

    Would you take any of them over Antonio Brown?

    Saquon for me. Because I believe in his talent ahead of Gordon, and his workload and goal line role ahead of Kamara ... and it's a non-PPR.

    Could make a case for Brown in many leagues, but in a standard I'm comfortable taking the RB and focusing on WRs starting in Round 2 (or a bit later depending on who else is there in Round 2).

    I'd go with Brown in a ppr league over them but I'm not sure if "standard league" us a ppr or not.

    If it isn't a ppr, I'd still go with Brown but Gordon would be close.

    Brown is a top five guy for me whereas none of the RBs listed are.

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    Barkley.

    Gordon needs high volume to produce as RB1 for fantasy. He's just a very inefficient runner. Kamara will split a backfield after Ingram serves his suspension and won't come near the overall touches that Barkley will.
