10 team 1 qb/ half ppr/ .25 TEP (.75 ppr for TE) Trey McBride Jonathan Brooks Kendre Miller Jahan Dotson Adonai Mitchell 2025 1st 2026 2nd For Bijan Kittle McLaurin

I could argue that Bijan is no more proven than Brooks, and I think you’re severely underestimating Brooks’ talent. Don’t get me wrong, I still believe Bijan is a top talent at RB, and if I was choosing today in a 1-qb startup, it would be Bijan at 1.01. But I also know you can’t treat RBs the same way you do other positions. While I don’t think it directly correlates for this discussion (because I do think Brooks will be slow out of the gate), but RB is the only position that I would reasonably expect production out of in the first year.

Like with Bijan, you have to be more intuitive with RBs and see the ones that will hit ahead of time

Honestly I hope you are so right with brooks haha because I drafted him this year. But still he is no bijan. Bijan is generational what he did in college and he’s show serious flashes in NFL so far

If you held a gun to my head, I would say Brooks is about the 3rd or 4th most talented RB to come out in the last 3 years. With Bijan being the top.

But I do hope you are right with brooks. It is a real bummer he’s already suffered an ACL thus far. But if brooks was in the same tier as bijan he wouldn’t have been behind roschon which worries me a bit

If Brooks were not to be coming back from ACL, I have little doubt that he’d be in the top tier of rookies (with MHJ, Nabers, and Odunze). That’s how complete he is as a talent at the position. However, like I said about RBs above, you have to be able to count on them quickly in their first year, and his injury kills that, knocking him down into the 2nd or even 2b tier.

He’s just being severely overshadowed by a “poor RB crop” and an incredible QB/WR crop
