and what to know from our PPR mock draft right now on Fantasy Football Today in Five.

0:13.0

Welcome, everybody. Datamazer, Dave Richard here on a Thursday morning for you on Fantasy Football Today in Five.

0:19.0

Just before we started recording, Dave said he moved C.D. Lamb ahead of Amari Cooper in his

0:23.3

PPR rankings. Explain yourself.

0:25.7

I think that C.D. Lamb can offer the same floor as Amari Cooper.

0:30.7

And I think he can offer a higher ceiling. He's healthier right now.

0:33.9

Let's face it. Amari Cooper's on the pup list.

0:36.4

And I know it's dumb to like buy into the

0:40.1

1:21.7

And I think C.D. Land just has just a better overall package.

1:25.0

And maybe it'll end up,

1:25.9

if everybody ends up doing it too,

1:27.3

then maybe Cooper will end up being a good value. But for now, I'm more comfortable taking Lamb. I think he's more fun. And I think he's got, I think he's got a terrific floor right around 15 ppr points per game. Maybe a little lower than that for the floor.
