then drafting 3rd would seem to be the best spot.
Thats what kind of what I was thinking, I'm not personally sold on ADP as the obvious #1 though I think the majority of people like him there. I like at three of those guys about the same.How does the rest of the draft play out if you go 3 as opposed to #2 overall? Also at what point do the rookie RB's start to get drafted in round 1?
There is no doubt ADP has the ability, durability is a concern for many. LT2 had the knee injury in the playoffs and at some point you would think would fall off a bit. Sjax, coming off a down year due to injury but actually really young at 24 years old despite the fact that he's been in the league for a few years.Anyone else in that tier? If not, after those 3 where does the next tier start and finish?
Entirely different situation as LJ was the up-and-coming rookie drafted in the 1st and Priest was a stud nearing the end of his time. My cutoff for Chester would be the end of the 7th (7.12, assuming you didn't move up). I did the same thing with Betts this year when I took Portis in the 2nd and everyone said that Betts was a must-have for Portis owners. Pffft. To keep it simple, if I own AP, I'd like to have Chester, but I am not going to reach on him just to protect myself.
I doubt if salary cap leagues will ever take over FF like it did fantasy baseball. If anything, I see more and more non-salary baseball leagues popping up. I'm glad to see that also, because I hate salary leagues.Go to salary cap leagues and get them all
The way these rookies rb's looked today I would rather draft late and snag 2 of them.
Anyone that takes two rookie RBs in the first and second rd of an initial dynasty draft needs to have their head examined. It's one thing to draft young in a dynasty league, it's also another to try and win now. This is a PPR league, so I would welcome a stud WR being available at the end of the 2nd rd. Yes, this year of RBs are good, but not ADP good. I can see probably 4 of the top 5 RBs in this rookie class having to sit behind someone else for a year. I don't think I would want to just throw away the first year without giving myself a chance to win. I know some like to do this, but I'm not one of them.
LOL, I don't think so.
What dont you think?
Lynch and AD are now first round picks after 1 year in the league. Addai was a first round pick after he had 1 season. My point is if these guys land with teams where they are the starter if you dont get them now you never will.
Someone will draft McFadden around 1.06 - 1.12. I'm not sure about Mendenhall.
If Mendenhall and Stewart land in Houston and Seattle they wont make it into rd2. This is a great year to have a start up dynasty draft.
I think Hou will be the buyer of the Burner... I don't think anyone will take even DMac in the 1st 12... but 2 of the top 3 rooks should be gone in the 1st 24. I remember I did a start up last yr and some took AD in the late 1st and people were making noise...
Lets c... 1)ADP2)Addai (situation is just too good)3)LT2 or SJax (talk me into either one)5)Bushafter that... I would trade down to the back end and take what is left. If no one wants to trade down... there is always Portis or Lynch or MaroneyThere is a ton of good RBs this yr.For those of us participating in startup dynasty leagues this year, what draft spot are you hoping for? I'm sure the #1 spot will be tops on a lot of lists with the ability to draft ADP. After that what do you think the best places to draft from will be in the typical 12 team, non-IDP, serpentine draft?
So were Anthony Thomas, Michael Bennett, William Green, Julius Jones, Kevin Jones, possibly Tatum Bell, and more.They carry more risk than an established player in my opinion. I don't have a problem with taking them, but I'd sure rather have Fitzgerald, Wayne, or Brady than one of the rookies we haven't seen play in the NFL. For all we know, they're Chris Perry, Cedric Benson, and on and on.
I wouldnt trade the "pick", you have to put a name to it. If you have the 1.1, you should be offering AD to someone. In established dynasty leagues, AD is untouchable. You should be able to get a teams top 2 picks, plus another early pick, maybe a 4th or 5th for him.
I like that marketing strategy, what about the 2nd or 3rd overall pick? A little tougher their, but LT2 or SJax= what picks?
I personally like SJax almost as much as AD, but i would still want his 3rd to move down to the 1.2.
It wouldnt take much for me personally to move from 1.3 down a few spots, assuming the first two picks are AD and SJax. My next tier of RB's has 5-6 players in it, so if i could pick up an extra pick in the 4th or 5th, i would take it. Doubt i would move down to the 1.9-1.12 pick for anything less than a 3rd though. Of course this all depends on how you tier your RB's.
I would not expect LJ to go in top six picks .... maybe I am WAY off ...
Couldn't agree more. I will be surprised if he goes in the top 10. Maybe I am WAYYY off?
No. If LJ goes in the top 6 picks, I am cheering that either Westbrook or Addai fell to me. To the previous post, if LJ goes early, the 1.8 is no crap shoot. You will land Gore or Lynch, whoever wasn't taken at 1.7.
Sjax, AD, LT, Addai, Westy, Gore, Lynch, Bush, Barber, MJD are 10 RB's I think will go ahead of LJ. Especially since this is a ppr league. I could be wrong though.
Probably so since you like the Hawkeyes and Redskins ...

He didn't mention Portis. I would rather Portis over Bush and MJD standard scoring, but it is a bit closer in PPR.Probably so since you like the Hawkeyes and Redskins ...
just messing with you, buddy ..... but you may not be giving LJ enough creditProbably so since you like the Hawkeyes and Redskins ...
I hear ya my man. I think he's gonna have a great year! I probably value youth too much. I'd take him at 1.12 for sure!!just messing with you, buddy ..... but you may not be giving LJ enough creditProbably so since you like the Hawkeyes and Redskins ...
I wouldn't take him at 8. Heck, I wouldn't take him on the turn at 17.
Good to see what others are getting to trade out of the top few spots on the draft!
