Zeke +125 or Dak +750. Its a pretty easy decision if you're a betting person. If I could know that Prescott starts 12+ games id probably bet on him at even odds.

It's all going to come down to health with Zeke. He had the hamstring issue in camp and we just have to hope that doesn't flare up again. He's a physical runner who takes on defenders and that usually doesn't lead to longevity.

How is putting both RB's going to do anything? Unless one guy is a great blocker. And then you said a bombs to who? Dez and Williams would be the deep guys for us. The other cat you mentioned will be lucky to get on the field.

With Romo at quarterback, I felt 100 percent certain EE would win Rookie of the Year.
I'm about 80 percent with Dak at quarterback.

I would say that you have a very low chance.

I had NO chance. Zeke went fifth in our draft. I picked up Lamar Miller instead. First time I didn't get to pick any Cowboys on my team, but I'm hoping the Jags have a big year as I have Bortles, and Yeldon.

Wow, Lamar Miller is a great pick at that spot. Bortles I love, Yeldon not so much.

Yeah. Yeldon was my third back. I wanted to get Derrick Henry, but he was already picked. I took Lamar Miller and Eddie Lacy as my first two picks/backs. I was debating between Mark Ingram and Lacy. Although Ingram is supposed to get most of the carries and New Orleans is supposed to run the ball more, Ingram's history of injury concerned me. Lacy is said to have lost about 20 pounds and is healthier this year. Besides, I think the Packers will have to score a lot of points. My starting line is

QB - Bortles
RB - Miller, Lacy (back ups ... Yeldon, Paul Perkins, Jordan Howard, C.J. Prosis)
WR - Brandon Marshall and Mike Evans
K - the new guy with Tampa
D - Seattle (should have picked Arizona)

I dont like Lacy, would have taken Ingram. But your WR's are incredible. How did you get those two WR's? Those are both 2nd round value.

Our league puts more of a premium on running backs so running backs go higher. You basically have to get them early or you'll be starting back ups.

Receivers are a dime a dozen because a team will always start two and then three if a team has a pass-catching tight end (in our league a tight end and receiver are interchangeable).

I kind of lucked into Evans because we do our draft on ESPN's site and when it was my pick, I had somehow switch my screen to view wide receivers but it put me down in the 900 range. I was trying to find the switch to get back to the top and see the top players but couldn't find it. Well, the next best player was Mike Evans, and if you don't pick before your time expires, ESPN's draft system automatically gives you the top ranked player. Hence, the system picked Evans for me.

I was debating long on Ingram. I hope selecting Lacy over Ingram doesn't come back to bite me in the butt.
