My draft isn't until August, so I have plenty of time to let this work itself out.
My league is 12 man, PPR, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE (no premium), 1 non QB flex
I have Laporta and Ferguson at TE.
Bijan, Etienne, R White, Z White, Spears at RB.
To me, it's really hard to pass on an RB1 at the 1.04, even if he doesn't have the hype of most RB1s. Carolina for Brooks and Las Vegas for Bowers aren't great landing spots. Carolina seems to have improved their O-line, but their success and to some degree, Brooks' will depend on Bryce Young and if he improves. LV is a mess at QB but Minshew will throw it to everyone, a lot. He won't be there long-term starter so it's tough to predict.
So it comes back to generational TE prospect vs RB1 with a decent path to volume who has shown great receiving skills. Anybody think Brooks might sneak up the rankings this summer (if he recovers quickly)?

Re: Brooks at 1.04 in 1 QB a reach?
Huge reach; dude is at best in a two back committee, and a three back committee at worst, all while coming off an ACL. He is not an early first round fantasy pick.
Also, while he might have been NFLD RB1 he is not yet a FF RB1. If he's your guy, at least trade back a few spots instead of "wasting" the additional capital to get him at 1.04.
Edit: I see your full team in the other thread. Definitely not drafting rook at 4, especially if you end up picking up Saquon.

Re: Brooks at 1.04 in 1 QB a reach?
Consensus in 1QB is essentially 1.07, grabbing him at 4 is a reach but not a substantial one. Team is loaded. Take whoever you want and enjoy the game/ride.
Re: Brooks at 1.04 in 1 QB a reach?
I’m in the same boat. I really want to add Brooks. I think he’s seriously talented and had the unfortunate reality of being stuck behind Bijan and Roschon. My dilemma is that I have pick 4, 6 and 7. I want Bowers and Brooks. If I pick Brooks at 4 then the team at 5 already said they’re taking Bowers. They don’t need an RB but if I take Bowers at 4 then there are 2 teams aggressively trying to trade up to 5 to take Brooks. So I take him at 4 or I don’t get him at all most likely. Tough call but I am probably taking the next level talent with Bowers and hoping Brooks falls to me at 6. If he doesn’t, I’ll be happy to take guys like BTJ and Ladd.

Re: Brooks at 1.04 in 1 QB a reach?
This is how I see it too. And also why I've been saying for months that Bowers at 1.04 in 1QB/non-TEP is the consolation prize.
OP: I think you're reaching by one tier. Generally I'd prefer not to do it, but I think it's fine. If you like Brooks - take him. My two cents - the landing spot is good. I think Brooks has a very good chance to be a fantasy difference maker down the stretch.
Re: Brooks at 1.04 in 1 QB a reach?
Not a reach. But I'd rather trade backs a couple spots.
Bowers and worthy should easily be picked before him. But if you like brooks that much (and so do I) grab him at 4 to guarantee you get him

Re: Brooks at 1.04 in 1 QB a reach?
Appreciate the feedback and I agree right now he is a tier behind Bowers and who should be picked at 1.04. This is a luxury pick for me and a consolation prize as you stated. I don't think Bowers climbs any higher but if Brooks shows up at camp and takes over the starter role there, he could creep up drafts by August, kind of how Laporta did last year (just not 1st round). But that could be unlike given the injury he suffered.tstafford wrote: ↑Sun May 05, 2024 2:12 amThis is how I see it too.

slight reach but take the player you want. If you can't get a good deal for it then take the player

And you already have LaPorta and Ferguson at TE. Bowers isn't cracking your line-up. Unless you can flip him for a better RB, take a swing.
