Fantasy Tips

So it was an interesting night, to say the least, at my first fantansy draft. Couple of things I wanted to point out that explains my picks, which were questionable.

We briefly lost the internet connection and the system made an auto pick for me at RB/Knowshon Moreno. I was so pissed! Our league is also using entire defenses as well IDP. I drafted late in the first.

Offense:

QB Philip Rivers (2/16)
RB Pierre Thomas (1/9)
RB CJ Spiller (3/33)
RB Knowsho Moreno (autopick 5/57) this is also a flex position
TE Chris Cooley (4/40)
WR Braylon Edwards via trade for Robert Mecham (7/81)
WR Santan Moss (6/64)

Defense:

Pittsburgh (8/88)

IDP

Terrell Suggs
DeAngelo Hall
DeMarcus Ware
Dwight Freeney

K - Robbie Gould

Back-ups:

Donovan McNabb
Eddie Royal
Tashard Choice
Brian Westbrooks (19/225)
Shaun Ellis
Adrian Wilson

I think you're toast bro.

why in the world do you have so many D players? you only need 1. I can't believe spiller went in the 3rd...fred jackson will have more fantasy points than he will book it.

don't hate on my team cause i've got too many cowboys on them. romo was the best QB available and i got him in the 5th round. I do have kevin kolb on my benc though, so one of them could be trade bait.

for anybody else, try to get arian foster in the 5th round. he's going to be a beast this year.

so my fantasy draft is in less than an hour and we just decided position and I ended up with the #1 overall pick... and I don't feel comfortable with Chris Johnson. I'm strongly considering picking ray rice with my first pick. Am I crazy?

Thanks for the encouraging words.

Actually, the rules for my league required us to have that many IDPs (not just one) as well as an entire defense. But to your point, I do have two too many on my bench.

Last pick in my 10 person league... snake draft...


do i go 2 RB's? I'm mildly irritated.

In fantasy you will regret scraping the bottom of the barrel for Running backs much more then you will looking for receivers in the later rounds. Potential number 1 targets like Malcolm Floyd, Jabar Gaffney, Braylon Edwards, Santana Moss, and Michael Crabtree will all be around while the best running back available will be someone like Donald Brown or Tim Hightower. Heck you can even get Sidney Rice very late in any draft.

Going running backs with back to back picks is a great way to shore up a quality team. On top of that you have QB's like Rivers and Schuab available in round 3. Technically QB's score the most points in fantasy football but the difference between the number 1 QB and the number 10 QB is much less then the difference between the number 1 running back and the number 10 running back.

took a risk... went back to back WR's.... here's what i got so far.




Kevin Kolb QB
Ryan Mathews RB
Jamaal Charles RB
Steve Smith (NYG) flex
Andre Johnson WR
Randy Moss WR
Jermichael Finley TE
Steelers D
no kicker yet


back ups

Matt Ryan
Felix Jones
Reggie Bush
Mike Williams WR


not confident at all. sooo...time to start drinking heavily. Kevin Kolb at QB...sweet.

Ok, Week 1 advice (without being a homer) I have to start 2RBs. First is Michael Turner (no brainer there), second is either Matt Forte @ Detroit or Clinton Portis vs Dallas? Why does starting Portis against the Cowboys bother me?

Fellas,
would like your thoughts on who i should start as my #2 RB. I have Jones Drew as my #1 but i have two rookies...... Spiller and R. Matthews. Spiller just got named the Bills starting RB. I dunno. Both are unknowns but i'm leaning towards Matthews. Anyone have any insight

I usually go
1. WR
2. RB
3. WR
4. RB
5. WR
6. QB, usually cutler or someone of those ranks
7. RB got arian foster here...what a steal
rest of the draft I go best available.


I think it's most important to grab that elite WR in the 1st round cause RB's are so plentiful in the NFL, plus how often does one stud play all 16 games? rarely. but WR's usually are go the whole season. Like nobody is arguing the production that a andre johnson gives you or someone in his tier of talent. but the top tier of RB's to me are a lot deeper.
