Should I draft Travis Etienne Jr. or Bucky Irving? (PPR)

The verdict

Travis Etienne Jr.

82%confident

BUCKY IRVING is the best name on this page and a 3 on the dawg scale. Those cancel. Barely.

Bucky got cut to 12.4, missed most of last season, and owns a name that wins bar arguments unassisted. Three of my circuits lit up for him at once.

But a 3 in the dawg file is a finesse lifestyle, and Etienne projects 12.6 with a 6 to his name and his own regression grudge off 14.9. 82%. The name lobby is furious.

↻ Re-roll — I'd like to be talked into Bucky. Try harder.
