You still have to go David Johnson at one.
He was targeted 120 times. By far, more than the next RB (LeVeon with 94.)
Heck, only 21 WR were targeted more than Johnson.
There's a huge drop off in RB value, whereas you can still find some decent, steady WR at the turn when you pick 31/32.
welllll leveon was suspended.....keep that in mind.......

and all of Arizona receiving corps were banged up, not so much now.....just throwing that out there.....numbers can lie

ARZ receivers are always bunged up, or just plain getting old..plus with Pittsburgh revamping their entire receiving corp behind AB, (Bryant back, couple promising rookie/sophomores) Bells targets might not maintain their pace either. A reliable #2 could easily eat up 3-5 targets a game, cuz let's face it, they had no one they could count on after AB, other than Bell

Well, Marty didn't play a single snap last year, in 2015, Bell only played in 6 games, and in 2014, Marty was a seldom used rookie, only getting 48 targets. .. not sure which year your referring you to, but id have to say there isn't a reliable sample size to make that determination

Free agent RB Rashad Jennings expects to sign with a team before the start of the upcoming season.
"I feel like I'll be landing with a team in the next two months," he said while adding that he's in the best shape of his life. That may be true after Jennings spent the offseason training for Dancing with the Stars, which he ultimately won.

Yes - all DWTS winners are on NFL teams. .... :nono:

im hoping mcvay gets creative with im

If he ain't more creative than Fisher, the Rams made a biiiiiiiggg mistake.

Todd Gurley said he's been "loving" the team's new offense under first-year head coach Sean McVay.

After a year of slamming into brick walls with Jeff Fisher at the control panel, Gurley feels a new sense of purpose in McVay's scheme, which puts a heavy emphasis on "situational" preparation. McVay kept Gurley busy during OTAs, moving him all over the formation. Gurley has also been impressed by Jared Goff's development, noting his "great" play during OTAs and minicamp. The Rams still have a long way to go to return to relevancy, but they'll get there much faster if McVay can get the most out of Goff and Gurley.

It wasn't a knock on Bell. The point I was trying to make was that in a PPR, 16-team league with the number 1 pick, you can't go wrong taking David Johnson. Especially if he's seriously considering Antonio Brown 1st overall instead.

Ok. I've got the first pick in the DCFFL. 16 teams. David Johnson is everyone's consensus #1. I'm looking who's available at picks 31 and 32(my next choices ) . Seems like there are better rb's that could be available then wr's. Would Antonio Brown be too much of a reach at #1?

I'd go bell over dj but that may just be me. And certainly not anything wrong with dj

I think they're gonna run him into the ground this year then move on. Plus I think he's a better player in a better offense. Though DJ is no slouch and certainly not a bad pick.

I can't decide if I trust gurley. Used to think he was so talented and last year was an awful situation but I'm starting to think he might just not be as good as we thought.

Todd Gurley posted just 6 carries for 9 yards in his first career game as he was slowly worked back from an act tear in college.

He then burst onto the scene with over 100 yards in each of his next 4 games.

However in his 24 games since he had posted 100 yards only once and averaged 4 yards per carry only 5 times. In short whether it's been his fault or not...his production has been BAD for essentially his whole career outside the first few starts.

Fun fact: LeVeon Bell and Marshall Faulk are the only RBS to have multiple seasons of 80 yards rushing per game AND 50 Yards receiving per game in the same season. And only 4 RBs have ever done it period.

Another fun fact: LeVeon Bell is the best RB in the NFL.

Also not a fun fact here and also not a fantasy football comment but...what do you all think of this crazy idea I've begun to think....

Aaron Rodgers is the best NFL player ever. And it might not even be close (imo).

Ok now tell me why I'm crazy.

A lot of people greatly factor championships in when discussing the greatest of all time.
