For those drafting this weekend and waiting on RB (1 Viewer)

[Ministry of Pain]

This was brought to my attention and I thought it made for an interesting thread. Some of my loyal buds in here this year have made note of the fact that the "RB Junkie" in the SP is pivoting from going RB-RB-RB in the 1st 3 rounds to anything but that. In fact I have been drafting WRs off the board like a mad man, big fan of the top QBs and also getting a top3-5 TE early and then grabbing a handful of RBs in the middle rounds. I will say that I usually grab 1 RB inside of the 1st 4-5 rounds and then I wait until about round 7 or 8.

I have 3 guys for all you folks that are pinning your FF success to the likes of Wilson, R.Williams, Ridley, if you platoon the RB2, I have a short list of guys that you should squeeze plenty of life out of to start the season.

1. Jonathan Dwyer: Say what you will but Redman is not anyone I believe in and he's nursing a groin. Mend will take a few weeks to get his sea legs back, Rainey is a project. Dwyer was a potential round 1-2-3 type talent when he was at GA Tech. He is 5-10/11 and he weighs about 220-225 which is ideal for a 3 down type back. he won't need to be a 3 down back but I believe he can make some noise early in the season.

2. Ronnie Brown: Not a fan of the OL in San Diego but there isn't much there to start the season. Mathews won't be ready to truly roll for at least the first couple weeks, CB is banged up too. Brown stands to earn about 15+ touches in this offense and for someone who waits forever, Brown could be a nice late pick to start the season.

3. Rashad Jennings: You have to grab him earlier but its obvious MJD is not coming to camp or the season opener at this point. You might have the 2012 starter here if MJD is moved.

I can almost bet that these 3 will be playing week1 and since you waited forever and also are chilling watching the rookies and 1st year starters get their game legs, you might as well have a sure thing you can lean on until you get your roster rolling the way you want. These are great little finds and crutches for those that wait to secure their RBs.

 

[FavreAndAwayAnIdiot]

Brown is nothing more than a warm body. If you're starting him week 1, things went horribly wrong in your draft.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Brown is nothing more than a warm body. If you're starting him week 1, things went horribly wrong in your draft.

Possibly but if you grab a bunch of the "half" backs and not sure what to do week 1, Ronnie Brown is likely to see a lot of touches week 1. I would be surprised if he wasn't discussed week 1, SD has nobody. He can catch the ball too, PPR leagues there might be value.

 

[dboysrock94]

I still think doing that even if you have Brady Graham colston, harvin, and Ronnie brown, Rashad Jennings starting against a lineup, like Vick, McFadden, Martin, Jordy Nelson, Stevie Johnson, Gonzalez I would much rather take the team with the huge advantage at rb

 

[The Dude404]

Week 1 with those rb's is probably ok. What about the other 16 weeks?

In any case since this thread is about drafting and waiting on rb's...

I drafted strictly to what fell in my lap the first 5 rounds. My first 5 rounds went like this. Drafted from the 5th spot, ppr, 12 teams, 2 flex, te 1.5 per reception all others 1 pt:

1. mcfadden

2. mathews

3. richardson

4. cam

5. antonio brown

If memory serves correct before they were injured, both richardson and mathews were consensus first round choices. I feel like I got 3 first rounders in the first 3 rounds. Personally I dont think you can say to wait on any position in the first 5 rounds. You take what others miss. In this case this year, I think people are drafting te's and wr's too high and forgetting about rb's.

One guy drafted gates and hernandez back to back. some guys in our league only drafted 1 starting rb. TE's were drafted way too early imo. Everyone was gone by the 9th round. I picked up dustin Keller in the 10th round only out of fear te's would still be drafted after this....and they were! People looking for the next Gronk. It was kinda funny.

I have a sneaking suspicion the teams with the best RB cores will be bringing home fantasy championships this year. If you have BJGE, Shonn Greene, Donald Brown, etc as your RB1 because you went QB-TE-WR, then you are in some trouble.

You have to draft value at every turn. Right now, the value lays in RBs. As a previous poster said, WRs and TEs are being drafted too early this year.

If you are drafting for value last thing you want to do is leave stud qb, wr and te on board while you reach for a mediocre! Rb.The days of rb leading you to victory are rare. And its not necessary.Welcome to 2012 there are no Marshall faulk or LT around anymore. You have TEs available that will outscore rbs...you have qbs throwing 5,000 yards and 45 TDs and you want to reach for a 1200 yard back with 8 to 10 td potential max in the 1st rd...lol that's crazy

3. Rashad Jennings: You have to grab him earlier but its obvious MJD is not coming to camp or the season opener at this point. You might have the 2012 starter here if MJD is moved.

Nice post, but I think you went overboard on this statement. Of the three, I see Dwyer as having the most potential past week 1. If he comes in and plays well there is a chance he could keep the job even after Mendy gets healthy.

True but I think even if or when he shows it might take a couple weeks to get him in game shape, doubt they will give MJD 20 touches a game right out of the shoot.

 

[LHUCKS]

Roy Helu is the huge value play IMHO, you can couple him with Royster in the mid to late rounds.

Just landed Helu in round 8 and Royster in round 13 in my FPC draft today.

With Hightower out I think it's clearly one of these guys, Morris is the least talented.

Even if MJD shows up on Tuesday he might not even travel week 1 and I would still expect Jennings to get the start week 2 at home. After that it would depend on what kind of shape Jones-Drew is in.

There are 3 QBs, 1 WR, and 1/2 TEs worthy of 1st round picks. That leaves 5-6 1st round picks that are presumably RBs.

He definitely was pre-injury. I still like him late 2nd round. Early/Mid 3rd is an absolute steal.

Since I truly believe Helu is the better RB, I drafted only Helu as my last RB in like round 14. I actually went Dwyer in 13, Helu in 14 as my last two RBs. Great value if you ask me.

Thats not the kind of team you would have though.. you figure Brady 1st round, Graham 2nd round, you would follow that with a player like Brandon Marshall, Roddy White, AJ Green, etc in the 3rd, and grab say Doug Martin, followed by another elite wr in the 5th. From there you would target another quality wr in the 6th, and a solid rb like Hillis in the 7th. Brown and Jennings are not the kind of guy you have to trust the whole season on with the wait at rb strat.

Wasn't he the #1 Wr a couple years with a mediocre QB ? Now he has one of the best QB's in history throwing to him. He could also be seeing single coverage in with a QB throwing 50 TD's and 5,000 yards. What if Gronk gets the double teams ? We already know Josh doesn't like to throw underneath much, so Welker's value may take a decent hit. I am not saying Lloyd WILL be the #1 WR, but top 5 isn't too far fetched.

Brandon Lloyd is a good player but he benefited greatly those years with the Bronco's from being Orton's only legit target and someone that he threw too early and often. On a team were he is likely the 4th most talented receiving option, I think it is very far fetched to view Lloyd as the #1 overall wr. I think he will have some huge games, but he reminds me of Desean Jackson with a better qb but also better receiving options around him.reached on Lloyd

Right, but it IS far fetched to say Megatron doesn't have a VERY good chance of being a top 5 WR. I like Lloyd mind you, especially with Branch gone.

[Turtles]

IMO, the RB-RB-RB strategy is viable, as long as your league structure dictates it. And in any draft, you need to be flexible and be willing to deviate from it if there's a player available on the board when it's your pick that has great value. I'm in two leagues:

1) 2 RB, 2 WR, Flex, non-PPR

2) 2 RB, 3 WR, no flex, PPR

I'd certainly consider going RB-RB-RB in League #1, but it would be a death wish in League #2.

Know your scoring system and structure! It's probably the biggest advantage you can gain at the draft over those that just pick from a non-customized list.

I started this thread and I'm interested how the owner who took Brady at 6 turns out. I don't think he should be looked down on for drafting however he felt comfortable.

No I wouldn't but would trade him for a top 3 back. But if I had Lloyd rated higher than Calvin why would I trade him for Calvin

 

[Lionz will turn it around!]

I had my draft last night in a 12 team PPR from the 11 hole. I was expecting to have to choose between Graham and Murray in rd1 but they were both taken before my pick. Here are my first five picks...Forte, Charles, SJax, Harvin and Stevie Johnson. My weakness is at qb/TE where I have RG3 and R. Wilson at QB and Witten and Rudolph at TE. I think waiting on RBs this year would be a mistake IMO as I still have Bowe and Britt on my bench.

Gotta play to the rules of your league. I think you're just fine. Without looking towards the individuals--you only have to start 1 RB per week, and can flex all WR's Reduces the heck out of how critical RB's frequently are in fantasy. In my two leagues this year I went RB-QB-WR playing to the availablity (primary league) and RB-RB-RB in the other as good ones kept dropping to me.

That is hard for some people to accept so if u in the middle of draft like I was top 3 rbs gone megatron gone who you gonna take with better value than Brady who in my league scores 32 pts a game so 2nd rd you got the #1 Te available you take #1 Te or your #10 RB knowing that Te position is more likely to repeat its value than RB GIVE me the better odds everytime so then I get to my 3/4 pick and my #1 and #5 Wr still on the board you think I'm gonna take them??

Gotta play to the rules of your league. I think you're just fine. Without looking towards the individuals--you only have to start 1 RB per week, and can flex all WR's Reduces

the heck out of how critical RB's frequently are in fantasy. In my two leagues this year I went RB-QB-WR playing to the availablity (primary league) and RB-RB-RB in the other as good ones kept dropping to me.

Exactly and if i hit on one of my other Rbs the league is A WRAP!!! A Owner in my division had #1 overall he went Foster and had MJD fall to him in Rd 2 if i go Rb rb i would not only be losing to him at Rb he could beat me to other positions as well why not get and advantage at 3 other positions on him!!

I started this thread and I'm interested how the owner who took Brady at 6 turns out. I don't think he should be looked down on for drafting however he felt comfortable.

I'd draft a stud qb early in that league too.
