POLL Fournette or Cook? Who would you take in a Fantasy Dynasty?

[Ram Tough]

The first Two picks in dynasty this year will most likely be Rbs Fournette and Cook. Who would you rather have going forward??

Personally Fournette has the look and size of a dream Rb.. Fast,strong overpowering presence. Still he makes me nervous going forward in his NFL career. Will he actually train, study and play hard... or will he take his money and relax?

The safe pick to me will be Cook.

It really depends on where they end up, but without knowing Cook has the proven vision. Fournette will need a better offensive line and isn't close to the receiver Cook is.

However he's ( Fournette) going to be the kind of back that gets goal line carries, big power back. I see lots of TDs in his future. Standard I go Fournette, PPR I go Cook.

I've watched all the film available on both of them

A lot of Fournettes big plays were outside runs or runs where LSU's line blew up the oposing front 7 and he got shut down a few times when facing tougher competition. I just kinda worry he might have a little Trent Richardson in him. Fournette is strong and fast i just don't see proven vision from the game tape available.

Cook, no doubt.

 

[Davis_Mike]

Depends on which teams they eventually land on. I am definitely leaning Cook at this point.

Even those scouting reports your gushing over that compare him to Bo and AP give him a knock on his receiving chops, and I see it as well. There's definitely evidence to back up that Cook is a superior receiving threat, for now

 

[TREFF]

As everything sits right now, I'd take Cook, but given the combine and who goes where, that could easily change. Either way they are both 1 & 2, regardless of your format

i'm not saying cook isn't better, but to say worlds betters is nuts.

lsu can't pass to anyone that's like saying odb stats in college didn't compare. marquis lee caught more balls than odb did too

 

[SteelersPride]

wow 3 for cook

 

[TREFF]

Well I wouldn't say worlds better either, but there are reasons why Cook would be preferred, even if just by a little, as things sit at this moment

 

[Trudem]

I honestly don't know yet. I own the first pick in a dynasty league so I am fretting over this decision myself.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

def have to see where they land before pulling the trigger on one over the other.

clear path to early carries could be the tie breaker once drafted, we'll see

Give me the one that the patriots draft

Saw a mock the other day that had Christian McAffrey going there..I would seriously consider him in that class IF he goes there

Im not the biggest Fournette fan but hes a pretty good receiver. Not as good as Cook but not bad by any stretch.

 

[ehb5]

You left out Corey Davis as an option

But to answer your question I prefer Cook. Better lateral agility and better receiver. Fournettes a freak though and could end up being a monster. I just think hes also a little more likely to bust (though either could).

Now heres my hot take (might not be that hot idk) - theyre both better prospects with more upside than Zeke. Zeke was all around very solid but was less spectacular than either of these guys IMO (and less spectacular than Barkley and Guice but thats a discussion for next year I guess).

 

[ehb5]

Gonna agree landing spot will be huge too.

You could see if the owner of 1.02 would give you anything to swap picks and then you dont have to worry about deciding.
