The fantasy football gods have smiled on me.

Assuming CMC is gone, who do you value more?

Cook
Kamara
Henry
Zeke

I don't think I should even entertain a WR. There will be some great WR's available at the back end of the 2nd when I pick again.

It’s one of these two and you’re splitting hairs IMO. I know many have Cook a tier above Kamara, but I don’t think that’s the case. Both are the focal points of the offense.

Cook should see 250+ carries, including all goal line work, and his usual 50 or so targets. 300+ carries is in the range of outcomes.

Kamara should see 180-200 carries, but that also includes the majority of the goal line work. He will also get his usual 100+ targets, but with the Saints’ lack of pass catching options 130+ targets is in his range of outcomes.

You're not worried about Kamara suffering if the Saints struggle because they have few weapons?

You’re not excited that the Saints offense is going to run through Kamara much like Carolina has done with CMC the last few seasons when he was healthy?

Kamara is heavily involved in the passing game so that would probably benefit him. He’s likely to be the 2nd most targeted player on the team, if not the most targeted.

You know, you got me here.

Frankly, the guy with 1st pick might just go ahead and take Kamara

Kamara led our league in scoring last year.

He was RB1 in most PPR formats. Of course that 7 score game helped .

If he, CMC and Cook each play 14 games I think it’s safe to pen them all in as top 4 backs in PPR.

I can't go wrong with CMC or Kamara.

I'm more curious about who's around when I pick at 23.

The mocks I've done are all over the place. I've seen Mixon and CEH fall that far. Also seen Hopkins, Jefferson, Keenan Allen and Allen Robinson II fall that far.

The guys in this league skew a little heavy towards the northeast and Midwest.

Mixon will probably be gone, and CEH burned me last year. I'll still pick him if he's the best available.

I drafted 2nd in a 12 team PPR. Early mocks teased me into thinking DK or Jefferson could fall to me. That didn't happen and AJ Brown was also gone.

I ended up with Cook - CEH - McLaurin.

If I would've gone WR/WR in the 2/3rd I would've had Cook - McLaurin - Ceedee. I just valued CEH a hair more than those two pass catchers. Glad I did because I'm thin at RB after taking Murray in the 5th.

There have been a few recent threads on here about drafting 2nd in a 12 team. Those might help inform your decisions.

Thank you, I'll look for them.

I drafted like an idiot last year, I'm going to lean on Jojo's cheat sheet.

I’m that case I think you have to draft AK and hope Jameis will feed the check down and not go full on Jaboo slinging it 30 yards every play

There's going to be some crazy high scores. I wonder what the thought process is behind making it 1.5

I don't know.

The first time I ever played fantasy football, I commished a standard league. Didn't ask any advice, just winged it with scoring settings.

My cousin won on the backs of Devin Hesters returns and the Baltimore D.

Nobody wanted to play in my league the next year.
