McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Looking at the 1.03 spot, it's safe to say that this is the debate that 1.03 will have (now, if Davis and McCaffrey go 1 and 2, Fournette is a no-brainer). What do you all think of either of McCaffrey and Mixon? Mixon has the talent level to be the 1.01 but that incident scares me and how he has - or hasn't - matured since then. Is McCaffrey going to be used as an all purpose back and get crazy touches? Taking Samuel a round later scares off some of the potential production for McCaffrey. I'm torn between the two.

This is tough. I had Mcaffrey ahead of mixon but have now flopped them. I don't trust mike shula for starters but do like the spot that both landed.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
While I think Mixon may be the better RB, I like McCaffery's chances at playing time versus that of Mixon's with Gio and Hill. I think McCaffery is definitely the better pick in PPR leagues.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Mixon
Incident that knocked his draft value was 3 years ago. I believe that decreases chance he screws up again. He will be workhorse and TD back in his system. McCaffrey transforms panthers offense, but I'm here in Carolina and with the 2nd round pick of Curtis Samuel I think that took some of his receptions away, while Cam will take his TDs away.
I think McCaffrry will be the more impactful real life RB for his team, but Mixon will retain better fantasy value thanks to a disparity in the TDs between the two.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Mixon is the better talent IMO, plus has a better athletic profile, and he has little competition. Gio has had two major joint injuries now if memory serves well plus he will miss all of the off season and preseason training plus some regular season time too. Hill isnt much of a hurdle IMO, probably loses the job by 3rd week of preseason. So mixon has all rushing and check down work from basically day 1.
McCaffrey is great and he is right at mixon's heals. But he loses some gadget work to Samuels, TDs to cam. He will get slot work I'm sure though.
But for me, its mixon.
Ps. His off field issue isnt a call for concern, he has been sincere in apologies, hasn't committed other bad acts, I think he has turned a new leaf, it was an isolated incident.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Mixon may end up the better "real life RB" - however, give me McCaffrey for a fantasy league (assuming PPR).
Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Could you explain what you mean by real life rb? Isnt a running backs success dictated by his production? And mixon isnt a pass protection star or anything either.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
If you are comfortable withthe off field baggage and simply base it on the field, I have to go Mixon. I think both Hill and Gio are history in the not too distant future. With AJ on one side and Ross on the other, teams simply cannnot crowd the LOS and Mixon is going to have room to run as well as catch passes underneath and take off.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Now this is a debate.
This comes down to type of owner. How do you play?
If you are a safe player take mccaffrey.
If you want the next bell difference maker potentially? Its Mixon

Caff. He has a higher floor, similar ceiling, and is a high character guy. And I like Mixon more than most.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Mixon fairly comfortably for me as he has a greater chance to get goal line looks due to his size.
"(now, if Davis and McCaffrey go 1 and 2, Fournette is a no-brainer)"
This I disagree with. I like both Mixon and McCaffrey over Fournette in a PPR.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Why do you think McCaffrey has the higher floor? The receiving aspect for ppr? McCaffrey is barely better in that respect. Mixon is also bigger, stronger, faster, just as elusive. I'd say mioxn has the higher floor because their ppr appeal is similar and he has the better early down and short yardage capabilities. And the higher floor due to the previously mentioned as well IMO.dipANDglide wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2017 5:42 pm Caff. He has a higher floor, similar ceiling, and is a high character guy.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Still trying to figure out all these posts saying mixon is faster and more elusive than mcafrey. Mcafrey posted one of the best three cone drills in the history of the combine. That's ever. His other drills outside of the bench press were also upper tier. Also many scouts said it was the best receiving performance they had ever seen by a RB. Mcafrey could be the starting slot wr on half the teams in the NFL right now. I'll take cmac all day. At least I know he's coming to work every day focused solely on playing ball and not being a knucklehead

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
This is tough to be sure. CMAC likey has edge in PPR because you have to assume they are going to use him early and often spending 8 overall pick on him. But it does take a little of the shine off by drafting Samuel a round later. I also agree that Cam will vulture some TDs. Hell if they are in close, it would probably be JStew in the backfield and maybe split CMAC out. But I don't see him pounding in a ton from the 1. Although I do think the team is trying to change Cam to some degree. He's already getting injuries and if he wants to be around a while, he won't be running as much as the Cam of old. But he will vulture near the end zone.
I love Mixon's talent but he does scare me to some degree because he commands such a high pick. Like someone said above, he's for owners who are willing to take some risk.
You may have Davis there at 3 as I've seen him sliding down some boards in drafts.

Re: McCaffrey vs. Mixon - who ya got?
Personal preference but I like RBs in fantasy to be RBs 1st, WR'S 2nd. Not the other way around. Give me Mixon.
