2nd Round Pick in PPR

Recommended Posts

I have the 21st pick in the second round of my PPR league, and pretty sure my first round pick will be Forte. If I go receiver in the 2nd round, which I'm leaning towards, the options I'm seeing available in mock drafts are Julio, Marshall, and Jordy. Which do I go with there?

Julio has the highest ceiling but has injury history. Marshall plays for the Bears so my two studs would play for the same team. I also love Jordy and Antonio Brown. Thoughts?

Marshall. He is about as reliable as they come at WR and he has as much upside as Julio. I wouldn't be too concerned with both your top guys being on the Bears. If it's a team with a good offense they usually have at least 2 players worth taking early.

I love marshall because of the consistency. Both him and julio are tier one wrs, and julio does have a higher upside and a lower floor...

I would expect both Marshall and Julio to be gone before pick #21, mocks can be misleading because many drafters have different scoring systems and starting lineup requirements. So I think you'll be lucky to find Jordy.

 

Last evening in a .5 PPR redraft the top tier of WR's where gone by pick #14, with Mega, DT and Dez gone by pick #9. That league only requires one starting RB and a Flex which lessens demand for RB, but many players will opt for a top tier WR before a more risky lower end RB1 or RB2.

Jordy was only one available, but so was Aaron Rodgers, and at #21 pick, I couldn't pass that up. My starting roster ended up being (drafted in this order):

Forte

Rodgers

Vereen

R White

Garcon

T Smith

J Witten

 

I'm pretty happy with that squad in a PPR format!

Jordy in a LANDSLIDE.

Julio is inexplicably linked to the myth of "upside".

He is very talented, don't get me wrong, but Jordy is every bit as talented. He's a freak athlete and a skilled receiver who acts as the primary target for Aaron Rodgers (aka the best QB in the league).

If not for his own injury two years ago, and Rodgers going down last year this wouldn't even be a question.

 

edit:

Just saw that you took A-Rod.

Can't argue it after hyping him.

Well done.

 

p.s (how many teams are in your league that Vereen was a 3rd rounder?}

12 Team PPR league with guys that know their stuff. I feel like Vereen was a reach for me in the 3rd, but I didn't think he'd fall to me at the end of the 4th and I wasn't crazy about the WRs available by that time in the 3rd.
