I'm really debating between Gurley and Abdullah at 2 in my up coming keeper rookie draft. I'm leaning toward Gurley (I have Tre Mason already) but I'm afraid if Abdullah looks good vs Jax, the homer in me will cave and take him instead.

I think your pick depends one whether you are rebuilding or competitive now. Abdullah probably has better up front return, but Gurley for the long run. Although with 2 knee injuries I guess he might not be that long term either.

With Fisher as the coach it is guaranteed that once Gurley is healthy that he will run him into the ground for as many years as Gurley can last, and then will toss him aside.

True.

I'm torn because Stafford is my QB, and I like the idea of him throwing to Abdullah for those double points. But I also have Tre Mason, and cornering the RBs on the most run active team in the NFL (like you said) is enticing.

My team is not one of the three powerhouses in our league, but I'm in that 2nd tier. I've also got Odell Beckham Jr, Gronk, both Patriot RBs (Blount and Gray), Roddy White, Larry Fitzgerald and Mike Wallace. My team basically lives and dies with Stafford.

If the first guy passes on Cooper I would still take him first. is it snake or you have the same pick every round?

Cooper is going 1 according to my buddy. Same pick each round. I'm trying to trade my 2nd (16th overall) for the Dolphins D. :hope:

PS: I also have Keenan Allen. Forgot about him.

14 team league? your team is real solid then. Although your WR's will need a refresh soon. Not counting OBJ. although if last years trend continues then soon WR's will be everywhere

Um, last I checked this was not the fantasy football league thread. Save your nerd talk for that. This is a game thread. Real football only please.

I think Stafford picks up 24 fantasy points this week

If this thread is for real football only -- why are we talking about a preseason game? It is nothing more than a glorified practice. :)
