    They are always intriguing but there is so much QB value around the league that I think your points above replacement are more valuable at WR than QB

    Normally I agree. But I just think Lamar/Mahomes provide such an advantage because of how much they run.

    True for Lamar. I can understand him more than Mahomes at that spot.

    Mahomes doesn't run as much as you think. If you want a dual threat, I would target Murray, Allen or Watson a few rounds later.

    And if all else fails I hope to snag Minshew really late. He runs and they will be terrible so he will be chucking the ball all over the place.

    Just an FYI, push Akers down your list. Questions on his usage to start the season. Currently listed as RB3 for week 1.

    Who knows if it's a smokescreen, but it's enough of a red flag to cause concern.

    Further context, if it's useful. It was an ESPN draft, and I joined as a "rookie" - since it's the first time I've ever done an NFL draft. Based on all the research I did, Derick Henry should have gone 5th AT best. I had him on my do not draft list lol

    I really don't love my team and I think this is why I tried to get 3rd or 4th overall. I think it's mainly because Davante fell to me in round 2! So even though I wanted to go 2 RB I couldn't pass up Adams. And that set me on a pretty long streak of not taking a RB 2 haha.

    I wanted DJ Moore in round 3 and then Gurley went right before I took Kupper in round 4. Other RBs that were around were Taylor, DJ, Bell, Hunt, Melvin....and to be honest I barely like them more than Fournette. Hoping to survive until byes and luck into an injury because Im loaded with handcuffs.

    FYI we have 2 flex.

    1.8 - CEH (great start)
    2. 13 - Davante
    3.28 - DJ Moore
    4.33 - Cooper Kupp
    5.48 - Calvin Ridley
    6.53 - Tyler Higbee
    7.68 - Kyler
    8.73 - Fournette
    9.88 - JK Dobbins
    10.93 - Gibson
    11.108 - Chase Edmonds
    12.113 - Darrell Williams (KC)
    13.128 - Boston

    Really like your contingent of WRs in a PPR....how the heck did Adams slip to 13th pick??

    If Fournette takes over number 1 duties and its not a full blown RBBC then I think you're in real good shape.

    I hope so. Since we start 2 RB, 2 WR and 2 flex, I'm hoping I survive by having my weakest link be my RB 2 instead of my 2nd Flex.
