Have first pick in a league where 24 players are being kept. I traded away Hunt to get my second and third round picks back. I’m using the last pick of rd two to keep Nuk and also keeping Josh Gordon with last pick of 12th rd.

The best players in the board are
Zeke
Saquon
Julio
Melvin Gordon
AJ Green.

Then a pretty big drop on the standard boards.

Is it crazy to think Barkley is going to catch significantly more passes and is in a much better offensive situation this year? I feel like between dak’s inaccuracy, lack of passing game weapons to keep opposing defenses honest, and now banged up oline (with center having neuro issue) that Zeke could have a solid but somewhat disappointing year. Just seems like Saquon has potential to remain involved with game flow at times more than Zeke if cowboys get off to some slow starts. I do think Zeke is the more durable runner and Saquon almost seems TOO freakish at times and could constantly have little nagging injuries.

Probably just overthinking it.

I had the same predicament at 7th in a 12 team ppr. Took zeke, because I feel like the cowboys are gonna have to rely on the run more than the giants.

Both are gonna be really good this year though

Go with Zeke. He’s in a better situation and the Cowboys have openly talked about throwing the ball more to Zeke this year.

If you project Zeke’s stats over a full season last year (he was suspended 6 games, not hurt) he was not very far behind Le’Veon Bell at all. I like Zeke as 3rd player off the board period.

Not to mention Dez Bryant and Jason Witten leave behind nearly 200 targets to a lackluster receiving group. Zeke gonna eat!

Zeke has played 25 games in his career.

Zeke averages career:

Touches per game: 24.88
Yards per game: 129.84 yards
TD per game: 1

I mean go ahead and grab the guy that we have never seen on an NFL football field if you'd like to, but I would tend to lean toward the guy with 25 touches, 100+ yards and a TD PER GAME over Barkley.
