Quote:AP has no business going at 2 in a PPR league. He only had 29 catches for 171 yards and a td last season. Compare that to Charles, Mccoy, and Forte and its not even close. Those guys are far and away more valuable PPR backs.


As for the OP I really think its a toss up. I would most likely lean towards McCoy because I feel he's the more explosive back. Its probably time to dig deeper and consider the divisions in which they play and non conference schedules.

 

Last year was the first "big" year receptions wise that Forte has had since when? 2010? It was also the first year he scored over 8 TDs since 2008. McCoy has only had one "big" TD rushing year, although 2010 and 2013 are good given what they give back in PPR/yards.

 

Both Forte and McCoy will be handcuffed a bit, IMO by the presence of Carey and Sproles, both of which can take catches away from the starters. 

Meanwhile, AD should have that Minny backfield all to himself.

 

I can see why Forte and Shady would sound appealing, but I don't trust them enough (more so Forte than Shady). In a PPR league, I'd feel like I can get equal or close to value to Forte in guys like Bernard, Bush, Murray, etc for a much smaller cost.
