Draft tonight, 10 team, Zeke at 10th pick?

[plasma george 52]

10 team redraft, .5 PPR.

Every year I look at the combination of positions by round (like VBD), for my first 7 picks and look at the Total Points. At 10 and 11, RB/RB is much higher than RB/WR, or QB/WR or any other combo. RB/RB/QB/TE/WR/WR/WR yielded the highest by far.

So it's Freeman/Gordan/Ajai/Howard types, BUT enter Zeke option. I believe he will be there.

 

If his suspension gets lowered, I'm sitting pretty, assuming I get McFadden (which could be stolen as my owners will try to do that), but perhaps I roll with another RB as pick 8.

 

What do you guys thing of Zeke at 10/11 ?

Anyone else go RB/RB at the turn ?

[Donkey 34]

Go with your gut. You want to take him there so just do it.

[seafoam1 1,879]

Personnally, I go heavy on RBs, if not at 1 and 2, then 1,3 and 4. But thats just what I do.

 

Elliot is just a risk that if you want to take it, do it, if not then dont. Who knows if he gets himself into other messes along the way.

 

I can also see a scenario where he plays and doesnt live up to last years stats. Its a team game.

[Beyond Chaos 75]

There's no guarantee he won't be drafted before 10.

[cousinal111 57]

Drafting 1st in similar format. Taking DJ first & would love for Zeke to slip to 20. I'll know if it happens in 30 minutes.

[thePRO 78]

Like him better with the 11th pick.

Zeke went 15th for those wondering.

This is exactly what I did last night. I took Demarco Murray and Zeke. I figured I should get a second RB to start and be my number one should Zeke be suspended for a few games.

Who'd you get as RB3 ?

Zeke is the elephant in the room. (I was the guy who drafted Bell last year, and Brady !, and finished #1 in Total Points)

 

If I take him at 11, I will piss off the owners right after me, who are planning the exact same thing. NO Way I can get McFadden late then, he will go way early just to get revenge on me.

 

Then my Numbers say go TE/QB or TE/WR.......don't wait on TE, it's better to wait on QB.

[xxxdog 23]

I had the 10-11 turn in a league drafted last night....I selected RB/WR, reason I was able to find great potential at RB with 30-31 picks 2nd & 3rd rds, ....the receivers at 30-31 are more questionable in production...Example I had a choice between Ajayi/Gurley/Elliot/Nelson/Green & Thomas with pick 10/11.....waiting to select my first receivers with pick 30-31 the value dropped to Fitz/Diggs/ Sanders types while RBs were Miller/Fournette/Mixon/Lynch types..... more potential with a key starter waiting on a 2nd RB with pick 30-31......

dont bother with Mcfadden, take Terrance West, dude is highly underrated and can fill in just fine for Zeke temporary, and carry stand alone value, or Powell, or many others

[Challenger 72]

I see Zeke gone as high as pick 3 now of day. But def take him at 10th.

[Slim Pickins 0]

There's no guarantee he won't be drafted before 10.

He went before me at the 6th, FWIW.

[weepaws 2,480]

With the new news about the Zeke, I would be surprised if he was still there at number ten.

 

But if he is take him.

[seh2000 5]

He went 8th in our 10 team PPR league...

[KingOfTheJungle 3]

In a 12-team PPR high stakes (1,750) draft last night, he went #6.

 

FWIW, I say he doesn't miss a single game this year.

I was able to pull that off but draft was last week. Zeke's value has gone up since then.

[JagFan 97]

Like him better with the 11th pick.

I've got to agree with this in a 10 team league. I wouldn't touch him until the 2nd round. Taking him with the 10 pick is suicide...but at 11 he's a steal.

I'd rather have Mcfadden. Just my preference.

[vuduchile 1,941]

I'm drafting #4 in my 10 team tomorrow. I'd like to have him, but I feel like 4 is too early given the uncertainty. I don't think he'll make it back to me in the 2nd round.

Hilarious.

[brotherbock 349]

Yahoo still has Zeke reduced in price, so if you're drafting with folks who rely too much on Yahoo rankings and/or still think he'll be suspended, you can get him in round 2. I just grabbed him at 2.03 after grabbing McCoy at 1.08. Feel pretty good about that.

[GreatGray 2]

I just drafted earlier today and took Zeke at 1.09 in my primary money league (10-team non-PPR). I suspect the ADP for him is around mid-2nd round in competitive leagues, though ESPN still had his default quite a bit lower than that.

 

There were some 1st-round keepers in play that fell into later rounds, which means my Zeke pick equates to something like ~13th pick overall, basically right after the top tier of WRs were gone--I took him before Gronk. I later confirmed that either one of the next 2 picks after mine would have drafted him if I hadn't.

 

I missed out on McFadden later but not overly concerned about that.

I drafted #4 in a 10 team PPR last night. Got him with my second pick 02.07. Was hesitant but the upside is huge, especially if he can get that suspension knocked down a couple of games. I failed to get McFadden though which kind of sucks. He slipped to 11.03. Was going to take him at 11.04 and settled for Riddick.

The Zeke

[plasma george 52]

Well, he went 3rd overall !

We were all shocked, but the dude is a huge Cowboy cockroach fan from Philadelphia, always reached for Cowboys, so I did McCoy and Ajai, then Kelce.

[KingOfTheJungle 3]

How you like me now?
