P Manning at the 4 spot in a 10 team re-draft? (1 Viewer)

[Torew]

Ok I'm in a 10 team re-draft.

Starters 1-QB, 2-RB, 3WR, 1-TE, 1-Flex (RB/WR/TE), 1-K & 1-DEF

Scoring P-1/20, (-2)-Int, Ru-1/10, Rec-1/10, all Fums-(-2), all TD's-6, Def & K basic scorin

I draft from the 4 spot and I am really thinking of going with P Manning here. The reason is that I'm not convinced, in a 10 team league, that the RB's are really a better choice here. I'm usually go RB but the mock's I have done show that I still can get some decent RB's not top tier but the likes of James, Brown, Taylor, Betts, Caddy, Bell, Jones, etc. Then even target Gates or a top WR in the 3rd or 4th RD. and then load up with WR that have potential to break out.

By doing this it gives me the #1 QB and possibly the #1 TE otherwise I take a chance with my first on a RB that has a injury risk, of course they all do but these RB's have history already.

I'm I foolish to think this? What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

I wouldn't take Manning with the 4th round pick. I would take one of the top 5 running backs. I don't think there is enough difference between P Manning, Palmer, Brees, Bulger, Brady, and McNabb to take Manning in the first round. I do think there is a big enough difference in a top 5 running back versus taking a second round rb.

Unfortunately, given your league's imbalanced lineup requirements, you're participating in a RB draft, not a football draft. Manning shouldn't be taken anywhere in the top-12 picks here.

Thanks guys! I kinda firgured that but wasn't completely convinced.

Yep, given that you can start 3 RBs, I'd probably keep taking them until my top 18 or so were off the board.Because of the incredible depth at RB and WR, I do think this is the year you can get away from stud RB theory, but I doubt I'd do it in that format. That said, a lot can depend on how well you know your league. For instance, if they don't get the format/scoring and will waste early pics on QBs and TEs, you might be able to grab a Manning and/or Gates and still get great RBs and WRs.

How would this be possible?At any rate, absurdity rules the day when we're talking about 18 RBs being more valuable than Manning. With how this league is formatted, it makes you wonder why they draft any other positions other than RB.

There is thread here covering the 4-spot. My thoughts on it, which apply to your scoring system specifically.

Guys I just realized that I didn't put in that this is also 1/PPR for RB, WR & TE's.

With PPR I think I will probably go Gore or Westy, but Bush kinda interest me here also, since he doesn't have injury issues as of yet, as does SA but he burned me with the injury last year!

Was just looking at a different approach because I had SA last year and don't want the same thing again this year.

Thanks again for the advice!

If you're drafting based on injury risk, take Marshall Faulk. Great pass-catching RB, and it's guaranteed he doesn't miss a game due to injury this year.Look, you're not the only one who doesn't want your first pick to fall to an injury. But, you can't just go for a "different approach" based on that, unless you have a window into the future and are able to predict who's playing the full 16 and who's not.

CobaltThanks for the wake up! I mean it. I know the injury risk is out there for all players but was just trying to look outside the box which is obviously waaaaay tooo far out there!

I'd take Manning in this format, just to thumb my nose at the RB drafts and still beat them at their boring little game.

If I have the #4 spot, I don't even consider Manning.

#1 LJ maybe be there (salivate)

#2 I am happy with Willie Parker there

Those two are pretty close to the "can't miss" "high upside" RBs. You don't pass up players like that even in a QB friendly scoring system. If you want to go QB early, take Palmer in the 3rd round.

Manning in a start 2 QB league is excellent.
