In looking at consensus R2 running backs (listed below), it seems each has issues. Are you guys feeling particularly high on any of these guys relative to the others?
Cook
Freeman
McKinnon
McCaffrey
Howard
McCoy
Mixon (edited to add)

1) Cook
2) McCaffery
fade the rest for WR in round 2, IMO

3) Freeman
4) McCaffrey
5) McKinnon
6) McCoy (of course would have sooner but I don't think he plays this year)
I would also put Mixon before Mckinnon.

I like McCaffrey a lot. He got hot at the end of last year, and the Panthers are saying he’ll be the true #1 back this year. I think an extra year in the system will be huge for him, considering he’s a pretty smart kid
I’d say McCaffrey 1st, Cook next, then Freeman, then McKinnon. I’m worried about McKinnons injuries
I’d pass on Howard and McCoy and Mixon til the next round
Actually I’d wait 2 rounds on McCoy. I don’t want to lose a 3rd rounder if he gets suspended

Cook and Mixon probably have the most upside. McKinnon only interests me at all in full ppr, and I'm probably avoiding because he's going to be entering the season with an injury. McCaffery is probably really close with Cook and Mixon. McCoy is completely off my board, and I'm not picking unless he falls really far. Howard is probably the safest pick. I'm probably picking a wr though if he's my best choice at rb.

Hmm.. prior to this thread, I would have put Freeman, Howard, and McCoy all above McCaffrey and Mixon, especially in a standard. Time to re-evaluate McCaffrey and Mixon.

You should prob mention your scoring next time

Im not nearly as high on Cook as most people here but Im digging what McCaffrey is throwing down.

what factors make you not like Cook?
Im not shitting on it just curious as to why you don't like him.

He’s coming off ACL. It may not be as devastating an injury as it used to be, it still has to be considered a factor. There’s only been a few to make it back to pre injury level the year after surgery.

Plus Lat Murray is not bad. He was injured to start the year. He was terrible the first four weeks. One Dalvin went down, Lat went:

As others have said, I'm high on Cook and McCaffrey. I targeted and ended up drafting McCaffrey.
If PPR, he caught 80 balls last year with over 100 targets as a rookie. That's ridiculous, and he should only get better this year.
His running last year was a bit weak, as he seemed to go down easy, but I would guess he'll be better in that department. He has a pretty high floor with those numbers.

It really depends on my draft spot.
I do really like cmac and Mixon. I liked McKinnon before injury
Freeman would probably be my top though since I think atlanta offense gets better
