Go ahead and draft Miller.
Id rather Miller draft.
yea bad joke but based on your stated draft strategy you won't be drafting him unless you change your strategy . We won't be around when you ready to pick a RB
He averaged 15 touches a game the last 2 years in Miami and this is with full health. They always talked about making him "the man" or being the "bell cow" (and he even was for a little bit after Dan Campbell became HC) but he never really could do it over an extended period of time.
A big reason for that is he just isn't that type of player. Maybe he rips off a big year in Houston, I'm not saying he can't do it, but he is just a very unspectacular option to me. And again, I don't see Houston as that good of an offense.

I really haven't read a ton about all the RB situations yet, but in general "insurance" is undervalued in fantasy football.
Some RB's you can handcuff and some you can't. Well, would you buy a car you can't insure over 1 you can? It is usually a pretty good tiebreaker at the very least. Some guy you can handcuff and insure against them dying, other guys you are just screwed. When you look at all the RB injuries there are, this has always been greatly undervalued in rankings.
Leveon Bell has great insurance with Deangelo Williams.
Some guys, I don't know what their insurance would be. Lamar Miller, bad insurance.
This used to be more reliable of an angle/edge, but like I said to Cruise, unless you are a boss they don't give you all the work nowadays anyway. And most backups aren't bosses.
An example of this would be just a few years ago when J charles goes down, Knile Davis takes his work. But last year when he went down, West/Ware was more of a split.
That is a market inefficiency people don't think about though.
I think he's #1 over a 16 game season. So you just gonna have to calculate how many spots you wanna deduct from him for being out 3 games.
I don't really think he is actually the best running back in the NFL but this is a perfect example of what Patsfan was talking about .
A well above average talent playing in a perfect system.

I think he is the best all around RB in the NFL when healthy, or atleast he was pre-injury. Will he be when he gets back? We'll see.
This is tougher to do in draft (why drafts suck) but in auction what you do is you pay Bell $50 and then pay D Will $5-10 and call it a day. Even in drafts you can still pull this off but you might have to spring early for D Will or someone could F you over which makes it a little more risky.
This was the obvious Bell/D Will strategy last year as well.
I'm hearing Jeremy Langford is solidifying his role as the Bears workhorse back.
Just kidding, I didn't hear it. I read widely disseminated information off the internet about it.
Bears coach John Fox said Jeremy Langford "made a step forward" in Thursday's preseason game.
He might be underselling it. Langford was terrific Thursday against New England, totaling 55 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. The Bears promised a "hot hand" approach at running back earlier this offseason but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. Langford is clearly Chicago's bellcow and may end up being a bargain at his current ADP. Aug 19 - 3:43 PM

I don't really think Langford is that good or anything but after about 7 guys, no one else really gets a full workload anymore unless injuries start coming up. He seemed like he was on track to have something like that before this injury, he still might.
Fwiw, I said I liked L Murray but Washington seems decent from what I've seen. And they have a short yardage back as well. Good chance he doesn't pay off his price, but it isn't like the other 2nd tier RB's are any better. Atleast he has upside.

In our 500 league I got the 2nd pick in a non PPR and the first pick is gonna be Julio .
Im thinking Bell even though he's gonna miss the first 3 games. Is this a reach?
Its either him gurley.
I have always in the past avoided the RB run in the first rounds but I have a chance to take the first RB on the board so I'm going RB

That is tough to take a guy who is a consensus 6-10 range pick at 2nd overall. That is why I like auction, draft just handcuffs you so much that you can't even really have opinions.
It's either pick a guy 2nd who normally goes 8-10th and be a rankings bitch, or take way the worst of it value wise compared to his normal spot.
You should probably just try to trade down if you can.
