Like him a lot more in ppr. Not crazy about the price

Yeah gonna have to see some more from him before he justifies the price he's getting right now. PPR definitely helps

I think he's going to get a lot of catches out of the backfield

I feel like he's a real team guy. First one in the film room, last one out of the weight room. Kind of like having another coach on the field. He's the type of guy who you'd want your daughter to bring home.

His speed has looked very impressive but I think durability may be an issue. I play non PPR but he has been looking very explosive and can really get some points if he can avoid the big hits. My gut tells me a good/decent RB2 so round 3 or 4.

Can't bring myself to take him at his current cost in any format. Could certainly be wrong but I'll let someone else find out for me.

Huge upside and potential. If you are the gambler type, then take him earlier. If you are conservative, then if he falls to you then its fine as value.

I wouldn't be shocked if he produced Zeke type numbers but I also wont be shocked if he he's a dud.

PPR is a much better format to take a shot early with him. In standard NONPPR I'm not sure I'd risk "reaching" for him.

I don't see his value taking off in non ppr formats until Jonathan Stewart gets hurt. I think that's more of a question of when and not 'if', but once that happens he's going to take over and not look back.

He looks like the real deal. Matchup nightmare.

If he gets the touches he will live up to the hype but the volume uncertainty is why I'll probably pass at his current cost.

Is his size a concern to anyone? At 5'11" 205lbs I'm not sure he can be a feature back.

I see him more as a scat back Darren Sproles type. Maybe in PPR that pushes him into RB1 status but that may be pushing it. I see him more as an RB2 or FLEX player and his ADP that's just not worth it to me.

sproles is 5'6". he compares much more favorably to brian westbrook who was a PPR machine at 5'10" and 203 pounds. or lesean mccoy at 5'11" and 207.

His size doesn't concern me at all. There were a ton of times in college where Stanford used McCaffrey as a workhorse back in I-formation. He's a complete tailback, imo, who happens to possess elite pass catching abilities.

What's the highest you are going to be targeting him in drafts out of curiosity? PPR or Standard?

For the record I wouldn't argue with any of your post.

I'm doing 2 drafts this year, both PPR, but they're also both auction style drafts, so it's hard to say. Somewhere between $15-20? I'd go as high as $25 for keeper league.

For snake draft style keeper league, I'd feel comfortable taking him anytime in the 3rd round and on.

For snake draft style standard league, I would target him maybe late 3rd or early 4th, depending on whether it was a 12/10 team league with either RB/RB/FLEX or RB/FLEX roster makeup.

Trying to decide between him and Dalvin Cook. From what I'm looking at Cook is going to be a feature back where it's uncertain with Mcaffrey.

I'm just worried about Dalvin's character. He slipped to the second round for a reason, and it wasn't talent related. I feel good that McCaffrey will maximize his potential, not as certain about Cook. But again, depends on the price and personal opinion. He definitely has the talent to be as good as any RBs in the league.

I would take McCaffery in round 5 for PPR, but would hard pass on him in standard. I don't see him as a downs 1-3 back, plus Cam Newton vultures rushing scores on the goal line. Can see him getting plenty of check downs and would be an amazing flex or RB2 in PPR.

He's going much too high to be a flex option

Flex doesn't automatically mean garbage player. Normally I flex out a WR in PPR, but if I had two great matchups for my RB1 and another RB2, I might flex out a McCaffery so I get them all in.
