The #1 Pick in the Draft... Adrian Peterson or MJD?

[Boston_Diablo 0]

I have the #1 pick in our draft this year, and was all set to take AP... but the more I think about it, the more I'm liking MJD. The scoring rules are:

 

6 pts per TD

1 pt per 15 Rush Yd

1 pt per 20 Rec Yd

1 pt per 2 Rec

 

Between the PPR points and having to reach 15 yds for a point that I'm seeing MJD more appealing. Let me know what you'd do. Thanks.

MJD much more appealing in point per receptions in my opinion. I'd actually rather take my chances with guys like Forte, Jackson, LT, Chris Johnson than Peterson in point per reception leagues. Unless Peterson goes for 2000 yards and 15+ TD's, he will never finish at the top of the league in a point per reception league. He can't make up for the catches difference.

 

Using ur league scoring from last year, Peterson scored roughly 193 points. MJD scored roughly 204 points. I actually added up points based on when they had 2 or more receptions in a game. So in a year that MJD split carries with Taylor and had less than 200 carries, he still otuscored Adrian Peterson in this format. So i think MJD is in for a better year this year. In leagues that give 1 point for EVERY reception, MJD is far and away a better pick than AP. Like I said, Id prefer some other pass catching backs over AP, as he will get only about 20 catches a year.

I agree.

 

I am in another league at work that is PPR, but they award 1 point for every 5 yards rushing (as compared to the standard 1 point for every 10 yards)

 

If I cannot talk them into changing this to a normal format, I may consider ADP if I draw the first pick.... but with standard rules for PPR, MJD is clearly your man.

I think MJD #1 over Peterson is reasonable

Thanks guys... I feel my focus turning towards Florida as we speak.

Apparently, I'm in the minority here, but there's nobody I'd consider over Peterson. I like MJD, but I can't even fathom taking him over Peterson. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I feel.

 

I have severe man-crushes on 3 guys in the league:

Peterson,

Calvin Johnson,

Fitzgerald
