It is PPR, and the first round is more like the fourth round given the number of keepers. The more I read and watch him, the more I get a Marshall Faulk vibe from him and I want in.
With Cams shoulder being hurt, I have a feeling they are really going to find a lot of ways to get him the ball. I think he has the best year of the rookie RB and this is a pretty stacked class with Cook, Fournette, Mixon all looking like day 1 starters right now
That's a good spot for him. Who else could you take? Cook?

I suspect best available according to ADP will be
Jay Ajayi
Doug Baldwin
Leonard Fournette - I think the guy before me is locked into him
Marshawn Lynch
Demaryius Thomas
Isaiah Crowell
Tom Brady
Keenan Allen
Travis Kelce
Terrelle Pryor
Sammy Watkins
Joe Mixon
Christian McCaffrey
Jarvis Landry
Jordan Reed
Martavis Bryant
I am not even remotely excited by any of the guys until Pryor on that list, especially because whomever I draft will have a strong shot at being my keeper for the next three years, so it is worth reaching on a guy like McCaffrey/Mixon/Cook IMO.
I think ideally I would go McCaffrey in the first, Mixon in the second, Martavis Bryant in the third....that would make the base of my team after three rounds;
RB: McCaffrey, Mixon
WR: Dez Bryant, Amari Cooper, Martavis Bryant
TE: Gronk
I think I will hit the PPR running backs hard, prioritize guys like Woodhead (who I think can have a really big year), Perkins, James White, Duke Johnson, Theo Riddick
