Agreed. He is the one RB that is usually available at the end of the 2nd that has any value. If he keeps playing well in preseason, that might change.

I've got the first pick in a 10-team league. It's a PPR league with a lineup of 2RB, 3WR, 1 flex W/R. There are a couple of guys in it who have drafted pretty poorly in the past, so there's no telling what will be available at 2.10 and 3.1
Assuming it goes "normal," what do you think? I did a mock and it had me taking Gates at 2.10. I'm not sure I like that, considering we have to play a minimum of 3WR.

Just had my draft, went MJD and Owens at the wrap. Holt was available, but we have a flex and I like to start 3 RBs and 2 WRs, so I didn't want to go WR-WR there. Managed to grab B Jacobs and C Palmer next, then D Jackson and J Galloway later. Feeling pretty good about it.

I just finished my draft for a 12 man league picking out of the #1 spot. Standard scoring plus ppr. Start 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 WR, 2 RB/WR, TE, D, K. Here's how I wound up (with some thoughts):
1 - LT
2 - Reggie Wayne (there was a big run on WR before I picked - Holt, CJ, Smith, Harrison)
3 - TJ Houshmanzadeh (a reach but I like the guy. I swore I was going to pick quality, proven players on good teams. Yes, I passed on Fitzgerald and Roy Williams. The only guy I may regret passing on here is Cedric Benson.)
4 - Deuce McAllister (not sexy, but hopefully safe)
5 - Ahman Green (this worked out pretty nicely for me taking the two best RB available)
6 - Vince Young (meh, but the big six, Kitna, Romo, and Hasselbeck were all gone. I fell for the wave of QBs...)
7 - Jason Witten (Drank the Dodds kool-aid here...also a big run of TE right before me - Gonzo, Shockey, Heap, Cooley, Winslow, and V. Davis)
8 - Fred Taylor (Turner got picked in the 7th round. Taylor felt like a big value, but I'm kinda meh about him too)
9 - Ben Roethlisberger (should be solid insurance for Young; Cutler and Rivers were gone)
10 - Isaac Bruce (hoping for another solid year; lots of WRs ran off the board in this round prior to my pick)
11 - Steelers D (no real reason for this pick - I am a Steelers fan and feel they will have a good season)
12 - Matt Stover (solid and boring)
13 - Brian Leonard (tons of WRs still out there, hoping to wait for a few games to see who emerges...took a gamble on Leonard)
14 - Lorenzo Booker (same strategy as above)
Overall, I guess I like my team. I tried to pick solid players to build around LT. I tried not to reach for hype and went with mostly good players on good teams. This draft was a slow draft, and was excruciating as I watched good player after good player slip off the board.

Just received 1st pick for my draft on sunday.
My big fear is in a PPR league all the big 5 wrs will be gone and maybe even wayne.
Wayne is where I draw the line. Taking any other WR other than him at that spot I am shaky about so I am considering going Jacobs or Benson/Gates

Is anyone else considering going Gates at 3.1
The way I see it is you get two top players in their position that gives you a big advantage.

:e: league, I went against conventional wisdom (intentionally) and took Gates and Brady at 2.12 and 3.1. Means I'm waiting until 4.12/5.1 to draft a single WR... nuts. However, it does give me RB1, TE1, and QB2 or 3 at the expense of the receiver position. Thus far through 5, I'm looking at :
Brady
LT
McAllister
Coles
?
?
Gates
Fill in any WR2 and 3 from the 24-30 range and I think that lineup can compete.

Just bumping this for my current situation. PPR Survivor league. Took LT2. Player available at 2:12
RB: Portis, McGahee, James, Brown
WR: Walker, Evans, Boldin, Colston
My opinion of players available at 4:12 turn:
RB: Peterson, Lynch, Barber, Norwood
WR: Reggie Brown, S Moss, Mark Clayton, Chambers
Keep in mind that Portis burned me in a couple of leagues last season and I'm down on him and as a Bills fan I don't think that McGahee is as good as some think, although he should do better this year.
Like LHUCKS pointed out above, in my opinion the key is what looks better at the 4:12 turn to you. I like the RBs a lot better than the WRs that I "predict" will be there, so I decided to go WR/WR and went with Walker and Evans. And yes, I know they have the same Bye week.

would have gone walker/brown....imo.not sure if lynch would have been there at the turn....and see a huge drop between RB's vs. Coltson to Reggie.

Yeah, I'm probably higher on those RBs and lower on those WRs at the 4:12 turn than I should be.

In No Mercy I took Owens and Wayne at the turn, and then Brady and Caddy at 4.12, 5.1.

Are you in any way happy with Caddy as your RB1?

Hmm, so how would your strategy change if you have the #1 pick in a PPR league (no PPR for RB's though), but are only required to start 1 RB (basically 2 flex positions)?
Scruff Mcgruff
Footballguy
I'm in a similar position (my league is exactly the same except we get .5 ppr for rbs and 1 full ppr for wrs)what I plan to do is LT obviously2.12- Best available WR3.1 Gates or Best available WRLT/Wayne (pretty much best case in a league that values wrs this high/ gatesgood core to the team.

Just as a quick follow up. Got to 4:12/5.01 turn with the following players on the board:RB- Norwood, Lynch, Barber, DWilliamsWR- RMoss, SMoss, Cotchery, BranchSurprised that Randy was there. I think he's lost a step, but I have to take him here. Also took Norwood. So after 5 picks I've got:RB- Tomlinson, NorwoodWR- Walker, Evans, RMossI'm pretty happy.

Interesting team. I personally think, at 2.12 and 3.1 if you wanted you should take EITHER Brady (woulda went with Palmer) or Gates but I think taking them both puts you at a big disadvantage with your WRs.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
I think this team is going to struggle in a PPR.- Tomlinson has seen declining receptions the last two years (still pretty high, though).- McAllister doesn't catch many at all.- Coles is going to have catches taken by Cotchery.- Chambers seemingly drops more than he catches.- Was last year's dips in #'s for Gates an aberration, or a the start of a trend with Rivers vs. Brees?Sorry. That's how I see it.

I'm really curious to see what happens at 6:12/7:01.I'm predicting a similar scenario in my league at the 2:12/3:01 turn with the top 6 WR's off the board. I agree that what you predict at 4:12/5:01 is key in making the 2/3 decision.
I've been running the following scenarios through the DD:
A. RB/WR at the 2/3 Turn - WR/WR at the 4/5 Turn
RB - LT, Benson
WR - Walker, RMoss, SMoss (or Cotchery, Branch)
B. WR/WR at the 2/3 Turn - RB/WR at the 4/5 Turn
RB- LT, Norwood
WR- Walker, Evans, RMoss
C. WR/WR at the 2/3 Turn - RB/RB at the 4/5 Turn
RB- LT, Norwood, AGreen (or MBIII, Peterson, JLewis, Lynch)
WR- Walker, Evans
I like A and C.
Scruff Mcgruff
Footballguy
I like C
ConstruxBoy
Kate's Daddy
Yeah, I had predicted C, but I went with B because I just couldn't pass up Randy Moss there. My other issue was the two RBs I liked best at 4:12/5.01 (Norwood and Barber) have the same Bye week and my top two WRs (Evans and Walker) have the same Bye week already. In a H2H league, I wouldn't have cared. But in Survivor I thought it was too risky.
I'll let you know what's up at 6:12/7.01.

12 team league that's been around for years over at el huddle, this league has always whored running backs early, but I usually find that one or two slip through to the 6th/7th because everyone starts going WR/QB at the same time. .5ppr, 2RB, 2WR, 1 Flex
1 - LT
2 - Holt
3 - Wayne (Thomas Jones was the only RB that was a consideration here, I'm not reaching on Caddy)

- I think he's starting by the time the playoffs roll around and will be my RB2
5 - R. Moss
6 - F. Taylor (my falling RB)
7 - Hasselbeck (we all get one homer pick, right?)
8 - Jennings
9 - Turner
10 - Cutler
11 - Bruce (how does he fall this far after 74 catches, 1000 yards? He's only 34, right? I mean, he's not God, but this is the 11th round)

just got back from my draft, I took T.O. and Wayne on the 2-3 turn, couldnt resist them! I was able to get Adrian Peterson and Jamal Lewis later on in the draft..
That looks about right; Benson/Jacobs at the 2/3 turn and WR's similar to Hard/Coles/Branch available at the 4/5 turn.In adding this scenario to the other three listed above, I would consider this as the least desireable. If this scenario is "D," I'd rank all four as:CABD

It's experimental. Buy in is only $25, so I'm defying all my currently held draft maxims that I'll adhere to in my big $$ draft to see how the teams compare.

We'll see. I agree with all these concerns except Coles. Pennington locks in on him - Cotchery emerged big time last year and Coles still caught >90 balls - I think if Cotchery continues to develop as a threat, that will just mean less tight coverage on Laveranues. Teams having to concentrate on Thomas Jones may mean less safety help too. Chambers may benefit from having Trent Green throwing him the ball, although the drops will likely never go away - he's still the clear-cut #1 option on a team that may have to throw a lot late in games. Whatever concerns there are about Tomlinson, he' still a no-brainer #1 pick, PPR or not. Like I said, we'll see how it plays out. Here is the team after round 13...BradyTomlinsonMcAllisterW. DunnM. PittmanL. ColesC. ChambersJ. GallowayG. JenningsD. MasonA. GatesNew EnglandVinatieriLike I said, it's experimental. I sacrificed the top tier WRs (although I believe Coles could easily prove to be a WR1 in a PPR if he gets more than 6 TDs) and a dynamite RB2. Clearly those are the weaknesses. Strengths are - top 3 QB, #1 RB1, #1 TE, top 3 D/ST, and #1 K. Not often you get the chance to have the clear-cut #1 player available at 3 different positions and have a consensus top-3 at 2 others. I'm anxious to see if that can overcome the lack of a big-scoring RB2 (at least in PPR) and a group of receivers ranked between 15-30 (the top 4 are, at least.)I think this team is going to struggle in a PPR.- Tomlinson has seen declining receptions the last two years (still pretty high, though).- McAllister doesn't catch many at all.- Coles is going to have catches taken by Cotchery.- Chambers seemingly drops more than he catches.- Was last year's dips in #'s for Gates an aberration, or a the start of a trend with Rivers vs. Brees?Sorry.

Agree completely with ^^. With LT, you almost have to go WR/WR at the turn because this year's top tier WR group is smaller than in recent years. Especially with PPR and the flex option. If you don't go WR/WR you will see a DRASTIC dropoff at WR by the next turn.Here's my WR rankings for ya:Holt - STUD...nuff saidWilliams - Jonson won't eat into Roy's targets any more than Furey last yearWayne - may lose a bit with Gonzales but not enough to worry aboutFitz/Boldin - Equal ranking due to the fact that they are WR1a and WR1b on the same teamThere's my

Have to agree with the WR/WR advocates. If your leaguemates mostly went RB/RB...you should lead the WR trend, not follow the RB trend. Odds are you'll have roughly the same RB talent level to choose from at 4/5.

that's pretty much what i did the big problem with this is the wrs available in the 5th (especially in ppr) are all really stinky.have a draft tonight, 12-teamat 6 pts a TD for QBs as well, and the fact we only start 2RBs/2WRs, am i nuts for wanting to go...???LTWR/QB (2/3)RB/WR (4/5)was thinking i could land Brees/Palmer with LT and a Wayne/Tpinions?

take a look for yourself i posted it a few posts above...i'm pretty comfortable with it and if any of my sleepers break out i think it has great potentialhow does your team look overall?that's pretty much what i did the big problem with this is the wrs available in the 5th (especially in ppr) are all really stinky.have a draft tonight, 12-teamat 6 pts a TD for QBs as well, and the fact we only start 2RBs/2WRs, am i nuts for wanting to go...???LTWR/QB (2/3)RB/WR (4/5)was thinking i could land Brees/Palmer with LT and a Wayne/T
The only way I would advocate WR/WR is if you know your league well enough to be sure that 2 of Green/Lewis/Norwood/Peterson will be there in the 4/5, otherwise the WR in the 4/5 are not that bad.I'm in a 12 League with 1 flex (RB/WR) standard scoring, non ppr. Here is what I expect:Rd 2/3RB - 1 of either Benson/Portis (one of these guys will be here)WR - 2 of my top 7 being Holt/Owens/Roy Williams/Wayne TE - GatesQB - Palmer/BradyRd 4/5 - This is the "who fell" pick. Burress/Andre Johnson have been seen at this pick.RB - 2 of Green/Norwood/Lewis/Barber/DeWilliams - (99% sure that Adrian Peterson does not make it here)WR - 2 of Edwards/S.Moss/Branch/Ward/Calvin Johnson and maybe Burress/JohnsonTE - 1 of Shockey/Heap/GonzoQB - 1 of Bulger/McNabb 6/7 - This is the QB/TE turn. 1 of these TE and QB will be there and they are all good enough to rely on.RB - 2 of Taylor/J.Jones/LaMont J/Betts/TaylorWR - 2 of Galloway/Clayton/Chambers/Cotchery/DjaxTE - 1 of Winslow/Cooley/Vernon DavisQB - 1 of Romo/Kitna/Young/Leinart8/9 - I like the RB here, with Turner (if you went LT) and mabye a WR that fell from the 6/7 range.RB - 1 of White/Morency or Brandon Jackson/Foster/TurnerWR - 1 of Holmes/Jennings/HackettTE - 1 of Witten/Watson/LJ SmithQB - 1 of Big Ben/Cutler/Manning2If Portis or Benson is still there I think the best play is to take one here with your next best WR (say Holt). This allows you the freedom to take whoever slides in the 4/5 - If Burress/Bulger or Burress/Andre Johnson and if nobody "slides" then you can still take one of those RB listed. However if you go WR/WR at the 2/3 then its almost forced your hand into taking RB/RB at the 4/5 even if Burress or Johnson or Bulger fall to you. Plus there will be a lot of WR to choose from at the 4/5 most of which have the talent and chance to get near the top 10. The 6/7 seems to be were you will find a very good QB/TE or maybe Betts (if you went Portis).Neil Beaufort Zod said:

So...Here is my quandry.I'm in a 10 (TEN) team league. QB passes worth 4. No flex. PPR.With only 9 other owners I think there's a higher chance that:1. A better RB than discussed will be available at 2:10, 3:01.2. Better WR will be around at 4:10, 5:1.Thus I'm leaning to WR and RB.But all the WR worship due to the PPR has me rethinking.Can people tell me which RBs went around #20 OVERALL in their respective PPR leagues?bluto!

In a 10-team league (1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 RB/WR and PPR) with keepers..so lots of RB's off the board already. Addai, Henry, MJD, Benson, Thomas Jones all gone.
I have Bulger as a 6th round keeper. Or Ahman Green as a 5th rounder, but hoping I can draft him instead.
SO running the DD I have Gates staring at me at 2 and the option of a Owens/Wayne/Walker/Fitz also being there. For RB's maybe Portis is there, but I doubt it, even if he is not sure how I feel about it. I just worry about having Gates and Tomlinson, and what RB/WR scraps I'll have to grab at the 4/5 turn.
This would be ideal IMO:
1.01 - LT2
2.10 - Owens
3.01 - Wayne
4.10 - A. Green (or Jamal Lewis maybe?) not sure what will make it here in terms of RB's due to all the keepers
5.01 - Braylon Edwards (or a RB here)
6.10 - Bulger (my keeper)
7.01 - TE or RB based on who's there
Obviously all bets are off on draft day because unforseen things happen, but bottom line is I have to go WR-WR, no?

12 team redraft .5 PPR..
meh.. i was in the 2 spot last night but i had been reading this thread since it's a similar situation.
i had planned on going WR WR unless i could get benson. low and behold i was able to get benson so i got him and TO.
i'm now reconsidering, i think it would have been better to go WR WR with TO & CJ. it turns out i was able to get a boatload of RBs in the later rounds. i have no idea why people were staying away from them, but it made by WR & QB situation less than what i would have liked.
my team looks like this:
qb: e. manning, r. grossman
rb: s. jackson, c. benson, j. norwood, b. jacobs, d. williams
wr: to, roy williams, mark clayton, k. curtis, t. williamson
i'm thinking a much stronger team would have been to, cj & roy williams at WR and any of my 3 extra RBs in place of benson. oh well, i should at least have trade options.
