I believe he has to be #1 pick next year as long as Priest is gone.This guy smoked Denver D when they were #1 and just did the same to San Dog

He also said "LJ averages 8 more touches a game."No, but he did say "As long as LJ has been a starter he has out scored me."Did Alexander say he was not coming back or something?
So were not factoring touches now into the draft equation? Check Stephen Jackson's ADP this year and think about that again.

So it's a bad thing if the player you drafted gets more touches?He also said "LJ averages 8 more touches a game."No, but he did say "As long as LJ has been a starter he has out scored me."Did Alexander say he was not coming back or something?

If Alexander is back with Seattle next year, he would be #1 on my board. LJ is very tempting if Holmes retires, but he has not proven he can carry the load for a full season. Sharing the job with Holmes kept him fresher for the stretch run. But unlike SA, he has not had to be the man game after game, year after year. I think he will have a big year, but Alexander in Seattle is a surer thing.

I'll take LJ at 1.01. No regrets. He's up over 26 ppg as a starter. That's just sick. I traded him and a few other guys for SA this past offseason in a dynasty league. I kind of wish I had that one back. It must really suck for the guy who gave him up along with a future #1 for 2Mac.

Any logic for this reasoning? He has performed like a top 3 back, as expected, for years now .... why would a $Big$ contract suddenly prevent him from continuing the career that will surely land him in the HOF? You can tell by yesterdays, chomping to get back on the field that he is a baller, wants to play, wants to win and wants to perform.I would be worried how somebody like Alexander will perform once he got his phat new contract.It wouldn't surprise me one bit if his production fell enough not to warrent a top 3 fantasy pick.
The money and the huge contract, would suceed in allowing him to focus on one thing ... and that is football. He would not have to worry about contracts expiring, he would not have to worry about where he will end up, he will not have to worry about anything .... but GameDay.

LJ single handedly won my league for me!!!!! It was like getting LT in the 4th round....and I got laughed at for taking him there without having Priest. I for sure got lucky that he saw the field as much as he did, but I had a hunch about Priest not making it. Johnson is a stud, but I think I'd have to take LT or SA before him if the draft was today. As KC management said, Priest is still part of the mix. If for sure Priest isn't around, LJ is a very possible #1 but I still like LT better.

The three RBs that I would rank at the top all have minor question marks to consider.
1. LJ - has a new coach and Roaf isn't in the fold for sure just yet. You just never know what a new coach might try to do to keep defenses on their toes and that could have a negative impact on Johnson.
2. LT - Brees, his proven QB, is gone and with Rivers at the helm LT could see a lot more guys in the box when he carries the ball.
3. SA - I honestly don't expect much of a drop off from his averages for the three years prior to last (1500 yds and 16 TDs), but you never know what guaranteed money does to a players desire. Will he still have the drive? Will he still play when nicked up? Plus, how much of an impact would losing Hutchinson have? None of us know, but I would be surprised if he didn't put up 1600 and 16-20 TDs.
All that being said, I would probably put Johnson at #1 because Holmes will be used sparingly (my opinion) and Shields and Roaf will make his life a lot easier. Johnson has shown he can shoulder the load. Although he has never done it for a full year, he also hasn't shown any instance of injury in the extended duty he has had.
In a redraft I'd take Alexander #2. Like I already said, there is no reason to think he can't put up 1600 and 16-20 this year with almost the exact same team that he had last year.
Dynasty LT is #2 IMHO, but for a redraft I'd put him at #3. He will probably get more touches as the Bolts break in Rivers, but he'll also probably see a lot tougher defenses in front of him too.
Those are just my thoughts.

LT has proven he can be dominant when they stack 8 in the box. Just look what he did while Brees was sucking a few years ago.

That was largely because of his receiving yardage. Gates wasn't in the fold then. Since he's been there Lt's receptions have been halved. My early projection is 1950 total yards and 15 TDs.

Smells like chicken
They play thre AFC west.My current rankin:
1 - LarryJ
2 - SAlex
3 - LT2
---------------
giant drop off.
I think LT2 in PPR leagues could very well be #1 though. I suspect Rivers will check down and dink & dunk it to LT2 alot this year.

In standard scoring leagues, LT has never ranked higher than 3rd. He may have been #1 in PPR leagues, but I doubt he'll come close to 100 receptions again.
