Not too much. Starting the season on the PUP list. Haven't heard much else.
So what is the word on JC these days?
Is he all healed up? I havent heard much of anything on him.

I'd go...
The biggest question is what to do with RB this year.
Top dogs are either coming back from injury or have questions of usage.
Who it everyones top 5 rbs?
Mine:
Gurley
AP
Bell(hurt/suspension)
JC(hurt/usage)
DJohnson(usage)
I can't get on board with Jordy at all. Coming off of a missed season from an ACL tear and he's already injured his other knee in training camp. But he's still being drafted early in the 2nd round. Too much risk for me.Personally, I love dudes like Nelson and Benjamin this year.

Freeman (Don't love)

My strategy last year with RB's was essentially to not draft them. Just use up a lot of your FA auction money to sign back-up RBs after the starter gets hurt. Worked great. (Freeman and D Johnson were monsters.)
Early 2nd for Jordy? Waaaay too early. I was thinking in the 20-25 spot.I can't get on board with Jordy at all.

And while Benjamin has looked good, I'm still not sure I can get behind his 3rd-4th round price tag.
Depends where you get him. He was meh last year, I don't see him being any better this year with butt fumble at QB.How do we feel about Emmanuel Sanders?
Doing my first auction draft this year. Any advice?
Initially I would say Julio then and load up everywhere else knowing you are getting two wide receivers you can start in a PPR league every week. Running backs are such a crap shoot that if you load up on quality starters you are going to get a solid backfield.
But on the other hand you could probably take a Brandon marshall/alshon Jeffrey in the second round or possibly a dez/Hopkins combo in the first round and be set at receiver and just need another RB.
**** it, take gurley for the 5th round pick and load up receiver/receiver in the first two rounds.
All of this. I would have said keep Julio also but if you can hold onto your RB1 without having to attempt to draft him (whoever he may be if it isn't Gurley), you're in the clear.
I like Gore, Matt Jones, and Langford in the middle to later rounds. All three should get the lions share of carries as well.RB's thoughts for ya'll guys this year?
IMO I'm not touching Elliot with a 1st round pick this year and David Johnson scares me.
1A/1B AP/Gurley (Gurley slight nod for PPR)
after that is a crapshoot.
I love Lamar Miller this year though in that Texans offense. The middle tier group seems much more value then a top pick this year IMO.
Lacy, Rawls, Ingram, Martin, Mccoy, Forte, Murray, Hill, Stewert, etc.
Who are ya'll targeting in that middle tier?
LOVE LOVE LOVE Dion Lewis this year.RB's thoughts for ya'll guys this year?

Auction is the only way to go IMO. I don't know what the standard cap is but mines has always been $200.What's the cap?
Either way... Save. Your. Money.
Let people go ape sh-t the first 5 - 10 people... $50/$60 for one player is never worth it. Easy math, to a $100 cap that's 50% - 60% of your cap to one person. Never going to win a chip that way.
Always have a cap to a singular player either in your head or written down. If it goes over what you value him, oh well. It goes over.
There will be GEMS left over for $10 and under by the end of the draft, keep that in mind.
I love auctions.
if hopkins is there id take him. i wouldnt mind waiting til the 4th/5th to snag latavius/demarco/dion lewis combo later on the draft. after the first 2 rounds its hard to find that stud WR unless you want larry fitz as your WR1Thoughts on David Johnson?
Strongly considering picking him 5th overall over Hopkins.
