Is there a consensus #1 pick for 2018?

[averagejoe]

I say no.
​

In 2017, it seems David Johnson was the overwhelming consensus #1 pick in redraft leagues.

So who do you have if you had the #1 pick this year?

Right now, I'd say double-E.

gurley until we know where bell goes

i dont think consensus... But i do think there is a majority... i believe the most popular #1 pick would be Gurley

 

[TREFF]

redraft? I would agree, no consensus. Free agency with olines, a QB in ARZ, Bell's contract status, Dallas's struggles with oline depth and injuries/age, and concerns about Gurley hot, not hot track record make it difficult to pin down a real #1 at this time. But I would have to imagine little to no argument that'll it'll be some arrangement of L. Bell, DJ, Gurley, A. Brown, and Zeke top 5, I'm sure most, if not all, would put AB #5.

Some of those ?'s will get obvious answers, some will be debatable as to whether the answer was a good or bad thing for the player in question. It'll make for interesting debates come August!

This.

According to FantasyPros...

1) Le'Veon Bell
2) Todd Gurley II
3) David Johnson
4) Ezekiel Elliott
5) Leonard Fournette

I think Fournette's too high.

Maybe....who would you put there? I think it is stop on at the moment.l

Kamara probably.

Fournette was used a lot by the Jags. They were the #1 rushing team.
But he sure needed a lot of carries to get his measly 1040 yards.
He only averaged 3.8 ypc.

 

[leftypower]

Pretty much agree with Treff - Probably a dogfight, in no particular order, between: Gurley, Bell, and Johnson in ppr. Standard scoring, Zeke is in the mix.

 

[The Foot]

This.

Same here

 

[The Foot]

All though I personally would take David johbson. No qb now and some will see that as a negative but my opinion they run him until his legs over heat

 

[broncosmitty]

Gotta see what AZ does at QB. If Fitz comes back or not.


But I might take DJ at one. Or Gurley.


I'd have to hate what the Cardinals do in the offseason for Johnson to fall further than behind Bell as third.

 

[SteelersPride]

gurley, bell, EE that order for me......possibly bell #1 if he stays with pgh

and stack 8-9 in the box

kamara is a beast, but i still think it was almost too good. SO many big plays. and ingram still around, i just see some natural regression

Because of the uncertainty, I think this is going to be one of those years that you are better off getting the #3 or #4 pick so people can narrow it down for you and then you end up with a better 2nd rounder. For me, I would rank them

Gurley (he won me the only championship I won this year, so he has to be #1)
Bell
Elliott
Antonio Brown
David Johnson

I think I'd rather have Antonio Brown's consistency than roll the dice with David Johnson coming off the injury.

I agree...and this is the year I get #1. I can feel it...

 

[SmokingMonkey]

Give me Gurley or Bell at those 1st two spots, don't care what order, exactly like Bell and DJ last yr.

Zeke/Antonio at 3/4, any order

then DJ at 5 for me

agree with the others that I'm not sniffing Fournette in the top 5, but man oh man, I'd be THRILLED to get a RB with that workload/opportunity in the 8-10 range, that'd be a steal, imo.

 

[femurov]

I lean towards Bell right now, but it would depend on how everything falls in the off season.

 

[SteelersPride]

Me too
