I am starting to think about Portis. Having said that, based on what I have heard, it appears as though SJAX is going to fall to me. Is he a solid choice at 5? or should I consider Addai, Portis or Moss? Decisions, decisions...Portis should be in the conversation IMO.
#5 pick here too.Interestingly enough, this thought just occurred to me recently. I hate myself for even thinking like this though (had him the year he got injured early - think I picked him #2 overall that year).Portis should be in the conversation IMO.
Fixed.Doubtful that the SJax holdout will result in a similar injury, but I understand the concern. I'm more concerned about the O line and overall team in STL @ this point.My challenge is this....
From the feedback I have been getting, the first four picked will be:
LT
AP
Westy
Brady
I think at #5, I am going to go with Moss unless someone, anyone can convince me otherwise to take SJAX. I think about LJ from last year and the impact his holdout had on his conditioning and to me, it spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E for SJAX this year. Couple that with Ogden's Pace's slow recovery I am not sold.
However, if the choice boils down to Brady and Moss, then I will be torn but truth be told, I think I will go for Moss. FEEDBACK? The next challenge being which RB to grab in round 2.
Doubtful Brees makes it to the 4th (assuming 12 team league), but I agree w/ the rest. I wouldn't want any of the backs in the Moss (R1) example as my RB1.So with pick #5 it basically comes down to:Addai in round 1 & a WR like Fitz/Colston/AJohnson in round 2orMoss in round 1 & a RB like Grant/McGahee/MJD in round 2Hmmm I think Im leaning towards option 1Then in round 3 Id take best available WR or RB (I love Jacobs this year) and in round 4 if I get a RB in round 3 take QB (hopefully Palmer or Brees) and if I get a WR in round 3 take best RB (Graham, Bush, Parker, White, Selvin, TJones) etc.
Pretty sweet team right there. I am surprised McGahee & Grant fell to you at those spots.drafted from this spot last week in a WCOFF online draft (ppr), i startedMossMcGaheeGrantWinslowC. PalmerS. Youngand was pretty happy with that. this seems like a good spot to start RB/WR/WR this year. if Grant wouldn't have been there, i would have taken a WR.
I think McGahee would make a good #1 RB.Doubtful Brees makes it to the 4th (assuming 12 team league), but I agree w/ the rest.

I forsee potential problems with Mcgahee this year....I think McGahee would make a good #1 RB.Doubtful Brees makes it to the 4th (assuming 12 team league), but I agree w/ the rest.

He's undergoing arthroscopic surgery and will be out until at least week 1. I think that's a fair assumptionI forsee potential problems with Mcgahee this year....
I am talking lingering all yearHe's undergoing arthroscopic surgery and will be out until at least week 1. I think that's a fair assumptionI forsee potential problems with Mcgahee this year....
I have not been sold on him since day 1. I am going with Moss....I know that my league's going LDT, AP, Westy, Addai. I've been in the "no worries" camp on SJax for a long time, but as the days march on, doubt is creeping in.Anyone else feeling the same?
Thanks. I am weak at RB, but have 4 decent backs with potential to hold on to their starting role on their teams. If 2 out of the 4 can be decent, I should have a solid year IMO. I won't need much RB scoring with 3 strong WRs starting for me.I actually like that team. Being in Pittsburgh, I know FWP will not be there for me in the 5th. That was a great steal for you, IMO. Someone in my league will likely take him in the 3rd.
I've been mocking 14 team (redraft) out of the 5 slot and this is what it's looking like lately.R1 - Addai (or Barber) - maybe Moss, but I HATE the rbs in this scenarioR2 - Colston if he falls - otherwise Romo/Brees (too early for Jamal)R3 - Calvin (a little early butFor me, I think the 3rd round pick is going to make or break my team. In mocking out my league's draft, I usually end up going Portis/Fitz and then I'm looking at one of these in the 3rd:MaroneyTurnerEdge BushMcFaddenThomas JonesI'm leaning towards Turner here, though I think TJ will have a great year. I like Edge too. Very tough call here.Thoughts on round 3?
I love this team and think you'll do very well. if I could guarantee the same players would fall to be using this same method I would take this team. You will certainly find talent among Parker, Williams, Jacobs and White. Worst case, you can combo a top WR and one of the backs for a better RB. I like it!Just drafted from the 5 hole in a 12 team PPR. I went crazy with WR-WR-WR-RB. We'll see how it works.EDIT: Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 PK, 1 DEF. No flex.1.05 WR R.

6 year family league, but Freddy hasn't been so fragile these past few years. Who knows how much time MJD is truly going to get?Why is MJD falling to 3?
That's pretty standard from what I've seen in mocks, unless the SJax signing motivates #4. I'm leaning towards MBIII @ this point, even w/ Felix potentially vulturing.Side note (14 team league data here!) - anyone notice that the mock data provided by the DD program is VERY RB heavy (especially early) compared to live mocks (i.e. fantasyfootballcalculator.com). DD is picking Jacobs @ the end of the 1st and giving me (from the 5 slot) Braylon in the 2nd and Fitz in the 3rd.I pick 5 in a 12 team redraft... I think my league will start 1. LT 2. AP 3. Westbrook 4. Jackson....
I think I've narrowed it down to Joseph Addai or Marion Barber III, who I'm high on.
Trade down to 9 or 8 in the first round, take Gore and get a bump in the 3rd, etc.No point in taking Gore @5 where he's getting drafted currently.I'm probably losing my mind more than anyone!
I have the #5 in a 12 teamer and I have a strange feeling that Gore is going to be unreal this year. He has never had the time to establish his TD totals and I think that changes this year (along with his many yards).
Addai has a horrible schedule and I can't see him reaching near his TD total as its odd that that many WR's will be hauled down at the 1 this year.
I'll get laughed at.....I dunno what to do.
In my 12-teamer, the same 4 went 1-4. My first 9 picks were:1.05 - Portis2.08 - Braylon3.05 - R. Bush4.08 - LenDale5.05 - Cotchery6.08 - Shockey7.05 - Rudi8.08 - Santana Moss9.05 - GarrardIn a 12 teamer today, here's what I got in the first 5 rounds from the 5 spot:1.05 Barber2.08 Colston3.05 Burress4.08 Jacobs5.05 CotcheryThe first 4 picks were LT, Peterson, Westbrook, and Jackson. I thought about Addai, but my team is somewhat touchdown-heavy so that helped me decide on Barber.
