I'd be very wary on Jeffery now that he doesn't have Marshall lining up opposite him and a young, pretty unproven OC is in Chicago.

When his fellow WRs are Eddie Royal and Marquess Wilson, you get the impression that Jeffery will get a lot of defensive attention this year.

So at pick 9 or 10 would you rather take Anderson or a different back such as Forte or Murray?

I'd probably take the next best WR available. Of those three I'd go with Murray, Forte, then Anderson.

CJ could be good. But I don't trust DEN running backs after last year.

So would you get the next top receiver after Brown (assuming he's gone) and then pick a running back in the second round?

So I draft 6 in my 12 team standard scoring league.

Right on the edge where I'm not sure where I go. Assuming the top 5 picks go AP, Bell, Charles, Lacy and Lynch.

Do I go best available and go Antonio Brown knowing I'll be screwed for RB's or do I take a McCoy/Demarco and hope for the best down the road with receivers having a lot of depth?

Murray will be a bust. Sharing carries with Sproles and Mathews? He'll get 15-17 carries a game, versus what he used to. I go elite as in best available. Plus, how many rbs were injured last year? It may have been a phenomenon, but you can always pick up a waiver ala CJ Anderson, Forsette, etc.

Also, depends whether your league is PPR or not. Personally, I'd go Brown, Thomas or OBJ. There are rbs that will be fine later on.

Murray will be slightly down from last year not having the Cowboys OL, but I think people are thinking too hard about that.

Philly is going to run a fast tempo which means more plays. Yes he will split carries but there will be a lot of touches available.

Wow, we vastly differ in opinion. Murray will be a bust - sharing carries with Mathews and Sproles. Forte's numbers will be down likely to new OC. Anderson is a quality PPR back that Manning likes to dump off to a lot. If it were me, I'd either do Forte or Anderson. Leave Murray to someone else.

Yeah, I'm not sure. I just know that Murray and Forte are FOR SURE the number one option at RB for their teams. Anderson did well last year, but there was a reason they valued Monte Ball so high at one point.

Need opinions ... Lesean mccoy as a round 3 keeper hit or lamar miller as a round 8 keeper hit ... Thanks in advance!

I think McCoy is a much better value there than Miller. Miller hasn't really shown crap, I've had him in recent years and he's done nothing. I think McCoy will carry the load, sure it's Buffalo and they have no QB as of now, but there's volume to be had there and Miller has been given umpteen chances to claim his spot as a bell cow RB and he's never claimed it.

Personally I'd take Forte before either of the others. Sure the Bears have a new, unproven OC, but Forte is established as an outright stud, and did so without the benefit Murray had in Dallas with one of the best OLs in the league. I've been burned too many times taking RBs on upside who haven't proven themselves over time. That's exactly who CJ Anderson looks like to me this season. Remember David Wilson?

while im not trying to defend miller, he did have 1300 yds and 9 tds last yr ... And yes i was burned by him 2 yrs ago as well and was ****** when i had to draft him again, i wouldnt go as far to say he 'hasnt shown crap' ... I will admit tho that i like the offense hes linked to alot more than mccoys offense ...

Ameer Abdullah had a nice run tonight. Might be a sleeper to think about taking a chance on, especially if Joique Bell gets injured.
