Round 2 if you can draft Kupp,  grab Stafford later in the draft and you can milk that combo for big rewards

Kupp in round 2?

Throwing in on the Taylor pick

[mickeye76]

Have number 1 pick in a 8 team h2h points. My philosophy for 1st 3 picks is.... 

Taylor Swift got Chubby. Taylor then Deandre Swift and Nick Chubb at the turn.  Allen Robinson and Michael Thomas are my WR sleepers. RB sleepers are Stevenson and Spiller.

People saying CMC must have not picked him the last 2 years. 

If youre a full homer- CMC

If you want to win your league- Taylor

Dont use your first on soft-ass CMC.

Well I am used to a 10 team league and if he picks first he would pick last in round 2.  Kupp would probably be gone by then anyway

Yeah unless you have 9 other morons in your league, Kupp should be a top 5 pick

I won the last place match for my fantasy football league last year and my consolation prize is the #1 pick in the draft this year. So I'm torn.  Do I go with...

A) Jonathan Taylor - #1 running back last year and consensus first pick in mocks. Consistent, no injury baggage, a great offensive line in Indy or

B) Christian McCaffrey - the most dominant fantasy football weapon when healthy, Panthers star, and now with hopefully improved qb and offensive line play that should only make him shine brighter.

My heart says CMC. My brain says Taylor. I want to go with my heart. Am I being stupid? Is this why I always lose?

Also do you draft DJ Moore a round early or take a later round flier on Robbie Anderson anticipating Baker takes them to the next level? I really need a win this year. I think I'm almost $300 in the hole.

I'd take Taylor #1. I'd absolutely hate to have my fantasy money tied to CMC and have to halfway root for Rhule on my real life team to run him into the ground. If you do take the plunge to take CMC, you damn sure better make sure you draft Foreman in the last third of the draft as insurance.

I have DJ as a top 12-15 receiver. Putting him in the top 10ish, means you think he could out produce any of Kupp, Jefferson, Chase, Davante, Diggs, Deebo, Tyreek, Evans, Cee Dee Lamb, and/or Tee Higgins. I wouldn't draft him over those guys. He's in the next tier with Michael Pittman and AJ Brown for me.

I don't trust Robby too much. Ideally he's your WR5 or 6 for your fantasy team, with luck he would become a WR3 but I wouldn't draft him that high. TMJ might be worth a late round flier.

CMC is a better player than Taylor. But can you trust him to not be on IR when you’ll need him most? Pick Taylor. He is going to be an MVP candidate.

Man I hate drafting WRs so early though.

I used to think that way. But if you're in a 0.5 or full PPR, Kupp is a cheat code. Antonio Brown was like that before he completely turned into a headcase.

Justin jefferson.  Zero RB strategy is all the rage now, right?

Travis kelce is the only answer, dude is money and there are like 3 tes that are consistent in the nfl

[Verge]

PPR = CMC 
Standard = JT 

Has been my rule

[rebelrouser]

I pick first in a 12 man league and I'm taking Jonathan Taylor no. 1. Not sure about my 2nd and 3rd picks though. Would love to see Mike Evans and Leonard Fournette available. Mark Andrews falling would be nice too.
