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.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
