#6 Pick

[Ritzarmy]

In a 16 team PPR league (with so many different stat settings) who should I take at #6

ppr i think u go brown , if hes there

Damn that's tough. That is why I have no desire to be in the middle this year. The biggest problem with taking Brown is that you will miss out on all of the top 12 running backs if you take him. Brown is probably the smarter choice, but I think I'd have to take a running back. In PPR I'd probably take Kamara by a hair over Hunt. And I won't own Barkley in any league this year because I'm not wiling to pay the price for a guy that's never played an NFL regular season snap.

I'd go Kamara. With Ingram suspended, I think he's going to lock down the lion's share of the touches going forward this season. I think he'll put up consistent numbers in range of where he was last year. And I lean RB here because even though its PPR, Kamara can catch and I think there's loads of usable WRs in the WR2 range whereas RB is gonna be a crapshoot after the "elite" guys imo. I'd rather lock down one of those great RBs.

I'd have a hard time not going Brown or Hopkins... But missing out on all those RB might be dangerous. Hunt over Kamara for me.

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

After crashing into the rookie wall, and the presence this season of a solid back in Spencer Ware, I'm a wee bit scared off of Hunt in that spot

And new QBs always worry me a bit, not entirely sure Mahomes will be as prone to the dumpoff as Alex Smith

Voted Kamara. Hunt has zero votes so far and that may be because he'll be gone in the top 4.

Over Bell, Gurley, Zeke or Johnson?

See poll at top of thread. Those RBs will be off the board.

Brown or Kamara for me - pick your poison

i think i still go brown if it were me, but i also think he'll get picked in the 5 spot ahead of you

same, lol

Kamara if available, then you should be able have one of Evans, Allen or Adams in the second. Versus Brown in the first and maybe Mixon as your RB1.

What's the earliest you take Barkley?

Any concern over Kamara being a split carry guy after Week 4?

I'll answer:
1) Barkley - not as high on him as most. Year 3 where the Giants try a rookie RB to start. Their O-line is terrible. I do not see Barkley finishing WHERE he's being drafted.
2) Kamara - all teams split carries. But I'm pretty confident Kamara gets much more than the 45% he had last season.

 

[tlance]

6 is a great spot, IMO. Decision will be made for you.

Top 4 will be gone, you should take who is left between Brown and Kamara. They are the next 2.

If the are both somehow available? Flip a coin?

Brown is safer and more reliable. But, WRs are easier to find.

 

[TREFF]

For me, you've got the big 4 RB's..obviously if one falls to six, that's your play. If its chalk, the next three are Hopkins-Brown-Kamara..personally I'd take Hopkins, but honestly, all three are great choices, can't go wrong either way
