I've never played in a PPR but I would imagine CMC and either Julio or Allen.

If you start three WRs, I would probably go Fournette (my boy) and your favorite PPR WR (mine is Jones out of the ones you mentioned). If you start two WRs for some reason, it'd be an easy Fournette-CMac double dip.

It's 2RBs 2Wrs 1 TE 1flex (RB,WR,TE).

 

Thoughts?

If you look ahead to your next two chances to stock up beyond #12 & #13 and are happier with the WR choices that will be presented to you than the RBs, then stock up on RBs here...or vice versa.

 

One metric I'll throw out is PPR points-per-game from 2017. We have Allen 17.76 - Adams 15.89 - Jones 15.74 and Fournette 17.71 - McCaffrey 14.41. So some of that coach-speak about higher usage is going to have to come true just for McCaffrey to match your other candidates. As one looks at the rest of the field, there are more WRs down below who can give you 12 points and above than there are RBs. But a couple of mid round notables from both sides are Carlos Hyde at 14.75 and Robert Woods at 13.78 (for whatever this particular metric happens to be worth)

 

If you look at things from a share-of-the-pie perspective for the WRs, the light shines most favorably on Allen as neither Henry nor Gates will be there to soak up red zone targets. I think Calvin Ridley > Taylor Gabriel so that the ATL pie is diluted just a tidge. I'd say the arrival of Graham comes fairly close to making up for the departure of Nelson although this recent talk about Cobb being shopped might mean more pie for Adams.

 

I'd take Fournette and would have a devil of a time making a final selection from these WRs. They say that Allen had a lower TD rate last year than his average so there's room for improvement and he was first in the NFL in red zone targets with 24 and these targets might even go up this year. So that gives me additional "rationalization" to just lean on that 2017 points-per-game metric and make a call for Allen.

I'm in the same drafting spot, but we start 2WR, 2RB, TE, and 2 Flex (RB,WR,TE). I'd go Fournette and CMC. I do not love the RB options at the end of round 3.

Good stuff, thanks.
