A little depends on league roster requirements, type of league and scoring etc. but in a redraft vacuum, the devil 😈 on my shoulder is taking CMC whose VORP (Value Over Replacement Player) in a 12 team standard scoring is 188 compared to Puka/Chase who is 148 & 134 respectively.
Or, the angel 😇 on my other shoulder could make me take Chase. Last two years over 710 PPR points, nearly 20 PPG, and leads all WRs in targets, catches, yards, and TDs since 2024.
My constant on early round picks, RBs carry huge injury risk and short careers. Chase is 26, in his prime, and gives you elite production with way less chance of your season blowing up.
Top five picks are the most valuable and should be the most risk-averse selection you take and while any of these players on any given play can be injured, the percentages on running backs are a lot higher.
Give me Chase! 😇
You have the 3rd Overall Pick
Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs are gone
Who are you picking here?!?🤔
