Nervous of drafting MJD at #9 PPR

[Scipio]

12 team PPR dynasty. This will be year 1. Draft is Monday 15th 6pm

QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, Flex, TE, K, DST

1 pt per 25 yard passing
1 pt per 10 yards rushing/receiving
1 pt per reception
6 pts all TD's

Two very kinds experts advised earlier in the week that they have MJD ranked #8 in PPR.

I've read a fair bit since then that his stock seems to be becoming more tepid.

Assuming the top 6 RB's and AJ are gone, would you take MJD if he's there at #9, or perhaps go elite WR in Megatron/Roddy etc.

If MJD are a concern now, he scares me a bit more in this dynasty draft.

Many thanks!

Elite WR without question. He's just too much of a risk right now to take in the 1st.

Nothing for throwing TD (usually 4pts)? That could make a difference - Vick has a higher ADP (not that I would take him that high anyway), but I'm sure he would be bumped down quite a bit without getting 4 for every thrown TD.

That being said, I would agree with murphysxm regardless. An elite WR is the way to go - I think I'd actually be taking Fitz though, his stock seems to keep rising everyday with Kolb at the helm.
