Yeah, the RBs are also what I am watching carefully. However, with a big class of great RBs, it begs the question of what teams will actually have the need and be drafting a RB into a situation where they can quickly become a fantasy stud? CLE: most likely destination for a top back because...

I know that it's early, but I was wondering if anyone had any opinion on the upcoming 2008 rookie class, and how strong it is likely to be, especially in terms of RB, WR and QB talent. I will have 3 1st rounders in one league next year, 2 of which are likely to be top 6 picks, and I am trying...

So here is the best offer I have for Maroney so far: I get: Cadillac Williams Dwayne Jarrett His 1st and 2nd rd picks next year I am leaning heavily toward accepting this, because his team has only ASmith and Pennington at QB, plus Peterson and Lynch as RB1 and RB2 as well as Calvin Johson...

I disagree with that, because as BB has shown this week, as soon as he gets a 2 TD lead (which is going to happen a lot with their quality defense and explosive offense), Maroney gets pulled. Milking the clock with a lead is when most fantasy RBs earn their keep. If Maroney can't do that on a...

I can't see how I can be competitive for this year. I lack a competent QB for the scoring system (0.5 pts/completion) and that is going to give me a 20 pt deficit at that position weekly. I also don't have an acceptable #1 or 2 RB or #3 WR. BTW, it is a 12 team league, 20 keepers.The other...

I just traded Deuce for Bowe and a 1st rd pick next year. I think I will hold onto Maroney for now. I traded Deuce because Chris Brown looks like he could be a competent back, and because Deuce is 29, and probably just continues to slowly lose value to Bush over the next few years. Since my...

Mainly, because he probably performs poorly in the Chargers game. They made the Bears and their decent running game/o-line look awful, so probably do the same to the Pats. 2 straight bad games will reduce his value.

It's nothing to do with how he performed on Sunday that leads me to think he's a bust, and I think he has the talent to be a top 5 RB for years to come. What convinces me that he will never live up to that is the fact that Belichick keeps up his insistence on using scrub role RBs and not really...

It has been just one week, but I think I have seen enough of Maroney to be convinced that he is a total bust this year and as long as he plays for the Patriots he will never be worthy of his current perceived value. Evans and Cooley also had terrible weeks but I am not jumping off the truck on...

I drafted Maroney 7th overall in a dynasty draft with LT, SJax, Addai, Gore, LJ and Bush off the board because I figured with his age and situation he was the best long term bet of any of the remaining players. This appears to be a huge mistake, as I obviously underestimated the amount...

I certainly hope so given that I drafted him at pick 5.7 in a dynasty draft a few weeks ago to serve as my #3 RB.

Yes, every keeper/dynasty league I have been in has allowed offseason trading prior to the keeper deadline. It makes sense to allow this, because some teams have players that won't make their keepers but are better than players other teams would be keeping. This lets the teams with extra...

But, is Fred Taylor really going to be startable for you at any point? Basically, his absolute upside is the numbers he posted last year which were a low end #2 RB. With his age, injury history, and the emergence of MJD, it's almost certain that his value declines either through injury or...

Yes, they have a very difficult schedule by the charts from last year and are rated by the FBG SOS as the 32nd easiest RB schedule. However, they have obviously the same divisional games as last year, and alot of the out of division opponents they face (DET, GB, ARI, TB, BUF, TB, NYJ) do not...

By the 8th round, you are looking at picking guys like Droughns, Rhodes, Buckhalter, etc so I don't think Betts is that much of a reach if you want a RB. However, you may be better off getting a top notch backup QB, TE, or sleeper WR like Hackett at that pick.
