#4 pick - MJD, Forte, or Fitzgerald (WHIR)

Postby tjdoren » Mon Aug 31, 2009 12:27 pm

Non-PPR league. I like these three guys better than Turner, so assuming AP goes in the top 3 (guaranteed), these are my three options I'm considering. Please help me sort it out. I have them ranked like this:
1. MJD - Most upside for a huge year, but also unknown if he can carry the load all season.
2. Fitzgerald - Very reliable, and I'm concerned about the dropoff in #1WR options by the time I get to pick #21 (snaking format). It feels a little too high, but everyone if very high on him this year (including me).
3. Forte - Pretty safe pick; also concerned about dropoff in #1RB options at the #21 pick. Will Cutler help him or hurt him?

How would you rank them, and why?
Scoring is described in my signature.

Post a link, I'll help in return.

The Bears are still a run first team. Cutler will only make defenses respect the pass better then last year. Taking Fitz at 4 will leave you hurting in the long run at RB. MJD is safe but the Jags might be trying to pass more this year. So go with Forte. If it were a ppr then I'd say MJD.

I'm with them Forte will see a lot of action this year. Even in there latest preseason game he was one of cutler's favorite targets which is convincing for his value.

Yeah, I don't see how you go Fitz in my book. I think it's MJD. He's clearly ahead of Forte for me. He's been a stat machine while splitting time (and probably less than 50/50 split). He blows up this year IMO. And they are a run first team as well, so don't buy into Chicago being a run first team. Forte is definitely #2 on that list. Don't even think about LT. Fitz is a stretch, but there are mid round RB's to be had this year, so if you're sold, do it.

My vote is MJD though.
