[DJ]

Self explanatory.

Vote and discuss.

Improved OL for the Bengals - everyone focuses on Burrow and the WR's - but the real benefactor is going to be Mixon. With defenses looking to stop Chase, Higgins, Boyd, Burrow, Hurst....Mixon is going to eat this year.

You think Mixon is a top 5 pick in fantasy this year?

He is for me.

He is for me.

You have to think Taylor, Tmac, Ekler, Henry, and Cook. Plus you could throw Kupp in there if its PPR. Mixon is like the 5/6 best RB on the board.

Henry is my pick. Najee will get volume, but I have no idea what to expect from the PIT offense this year.

On that, I have no clue...I haven't played FF in 3-4 years, maybe longer?

I can tell you, I think he's poised to be even better than he was last year. In 3 of the last 4 years he's topped 1100 yards and 35+ receptions. He averaged 18 carries a game last year, and I think that number likely stays the same, but I could see his YPC being much better than the 4.1 he had last year. Wouldn't shock me to see him closer to 5.0, like he was near in 2018.

And if he can go for 1200 on the ground with the OL they had last year - not only is Burrow and the WR going to benefit from the improved blocking - but the run game is going to benefit as defense sag to prevent Higgins/Chase deep opening up running lanes early. Then add in that they will be able to rely more on the ground game to salt away games late.

I think the big question is if he can come close to the 13 rushing TD's he had last year - and I have no clue, other than he typically does get the GL carries. A more realistic number is probably 7-8, with 2 receiving TD's.

He could be the#5 RB n Fantasy if all goes right.

I'm thinking Joe Mixon with that offense could be the best overall RB

 

[Clayton]

Taylor getting an upgrade at QB and in his prime. Not overthinking this one.

Vikings might have an upgrade at coach so that's a team I'm watching for fantasy

 

[Wamu]

I hope it's Nick Chubb. Don't think he'll be the best rb this season but I voted for him anyway.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Y'all already know what my vote is.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Y'all already know what my vote is.

I'm guessing you went with tater salal

 

[Shanemansj13]

I got a CHUBBy

He is old news. Pacheco for MVP

I’m not drafting TMac. And Mixon > Ekler imo.

Wrong- Pacheco is the way.

 

[Balljim55]

No Christian McCaffrey on the list. Wow!

 

[RememberTheKoy]

Derrick Henry until proven otherwise. Maybe he will be in full decline after his broken foot. I don't put much stock into that playoff game as his first game back early from that. It's fully possible that he isn't the same player anymore but until I see that across an entire season then he remains the best in my opinion.
