Fantasyfootballcalculator mocks have their current ADP in the mid 2nd, as RB8 and RB10 respectively. Though a lot of fantasy pundits have Zeke ranked #2-4, which seems stupid high for a rookie.

The one that seems crazy to me right now is DeMarco Murray @ TEN and CJ Anderson going significantly ahead of Dion Lewis, JStew, and Ryan Mathews, sometimes by multiple rounds.

Yeah fantasy football calculator have their ADPs really close now but ADPs in May are basically useless to August drafting. Sites launching Zeke into top 3-5 RB rankings is going to make it so every little thing has to break right for him to live up to his draft investment.

Ryan Mathews is going to be the steal of the draft. And it's me, the guy who hates CJA again. Daniel Jeremiah said Booker is already the best back in that backfield.

Unless the Jags drastically un-retard themselves and give Yeldon goal-line carries, his upside will be limited. I mean poo poo, they gave Shoelace and Gerhart like a billion goal-line carries last year.

They went and got Chris Ivory, so I don't think they've un-retarded themselves.

I wrote a thing about the Ezekiel Elliott Hype Train:

http://theinscribermag.com/sports/fantasy-football-beware-the-ezekiel-elliott-hype-train.html

I honestly think the Cowboys are going to take it easier with Elliott because they need a direction with the offense after Romo dies. A poo poo-ton of offensive lineman and a foundational back could run the NFCE for years as long as they don't run him into the ground this year.

Upon further review, Mike Evans had fewer red zone targets than Cole Beasley and Richard Rodgers (1 per game started) and only caught 2. He also did all this without ASJ so I don't know about TD regression.

I said to start taking a really good kicker like Gostkowski a couple rounds early because everyone else will be taking a K & DEF in the last two rounds so if you take them in the third or fourth to last round your dumb sleeper TE you drop week three will still be there.

If everything, and literally everything breaks his way he's worth a first-round pick. If the Cowboys baby him in the slightest. Like, say, not pound him at the goal line because they have a monstrous back on a one year contract, then he isn't worth the first round pick.

Also he's not sexy so people are overlooking him (and he's in danger of sliding down draft boards due to his lack of sexiness), but go get AJ Green in the second if he's there. Literally the only WR to have 1000 yards each of the last five seasons.

And when I say don't reach I mean don't overdraft a player based on what you think he is. If you think Reed is worth a first overall pick go for it, don't think he's worth a third rounder and take him in the second because ~reasons~.

Jordan Reed's ADP in the last two weeks is round 4, Delanie round 6. There are plenty of value TEs though..

ASJ, Ebron, Ertz, Bennett are all double digit round ADPs since May 10.

You also have potential deep dive guys like Tye and Walford that are virtually undrafted.

Coleman is a better runner than Freeman is so hard to compare and I don't get the constant beat of that. Coleman is faster, yes, and has a bit more wiggle in his game than Freeman, but it might as well be two hand touch for how fast Coleman goes down or runs out of bounds compared to Freeman. Plus whenever he had a great run he would fumble.

I just rewatched every run for Coleman and Freeman in week one last year and it reinforced this to me. Coleman's 20 yard run in that game was a joke, it was a play action on their own goal line and Philly just ate poo poo hard on it.

Bottom Line
My personal take on this info is that Freeman is no slouch, is great in the passing game, and is evaluated as the better pass-blocker. But Coleman is probably the better runner (though small sample size etc etc). I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets in the ballpark of 150-200 carries this year (assuming he stays healthy). That’s enough to drop Freeman’s value out of the first round or two for me.

This was very helpful, FP. You should get into fantasy sports writing. This kind of RB stuff might become the Reception Perception of RBs.

Also 200 carries is a ton for Coleman... I don't know if he can hold up to that. 150 is definitely on the table.

Anywho, I'm about to write an article that's basically FF for newbies (the site I write for is primarily a lifestyle site). I'm thinking:

- K/DST late
- stream QBs or get 2 of the QB 10 - 15 range (QBs would be how I would explain VBD)
- handcuffs
- importance of RBs
- what is PPR?

Anything else I might be overlooking? I'm pretty much the fantasy football guy so I have no one to bounce anything off of there that's of any value.
