Forte as #5 overall? I must have done something wrong. Please advise

[Kyslick 0]

I just updated my projections and cheat sheets, and I'm concerned as forte shows as #5 overall and #2 among all rbs. I looked at his profile on your website and you mention all the obvious concerns so I'm wondering what I've done wrong or what I've not done on my draft buddy. If Forte is at #5 overall, I'm a little concerned by the projections. The adp rankings have things more correct, so maybe you guys see forte continuing recent years production, but his profile doesn't indicate such. Thanks for any info. I just want to be sure my draft buddy is ready to go or if he has shown up for the draft drunk. Thanks guys!

Any decent buddy is always good for a pint or two, so I wouldn't put it past him

However, for Forte specifically it is the receptions that are doing it. I see him at 6th (at RB) in our default scoring, but change it to PPR and he jumps to 2nd. If the league is RB heavy - which most are, top of the overall rankings - then he will be 2nd overall. I know everyone is expecting the receptions to decline off last year's gaudy number, and we have that too, but still a very healthy 68 recepts is what Mike K. has for him, matching Le'Veon Bell. Makes a big difference.

 

If you aren't keen to invest that pick in Forte, then you can easily adjust the projections or perhaps even better, adjust the rankings right on the cheatsheets to move him down to a spot you are more comfortable taking him.
