Top 5 pick who finishes #13 overall is overrated, just ask all the 2004 Portis owners.
He ranks 10th in my league in RB scoring and his production is on the rise. His scoring the last three weeks would rank him 4th. No complaints from this McGahee owner.
OK, 2002Wilked, you should look at more than last years numbers. Barber has never been what i would call a consistent TD guy.S, BS you need to spend some time with the numbers. Data Dominator is powerful - use it.Here are goalline numbers last year (filtered for minimum 10 goalline rushes.I was only using James as an example because he seems to be one of the players that most people have as a top 5 guy. You can choose Barber if you want, but i dont reccomend taking him on the top 5 in your draft. And wait, did you just insinuate that Barber is a good goalline back?

It is sorted by fantasy points right now. Import the numbers into Excel and make a new category, TD / rush, and it will become even more revealing.
Tiki: 10 TDs, 15 rushes
Willis: 9 TDs, 25 rushes
8 TDs, 21 rushes
Still getting TDs at a better clip than Willis
It ends after week 1 for some people judging by their posts.
No its not. It doesnt matter what my league scoring rules are. people are saying that he is over-rated and i'm saying that in my league he is not. Yes, its all relative, but its also relative to those who say he is over-rated. why don't you ask those people what their scoring system is?
That's a very good point. As I posted earlier, McGahee is 8th in my league in scoring but he's been trending upward the past three weeks during which time his production would rank 4th overall in my league. If he maintains that pace, stays close to it or (gasp!) improves upon it he clearly will have been worth the high ranking he deserved (for the record, McGahee was my keeper in a 1-keeper league but I had him ranked 5th among RBs going into the season).But even in "traditional" scoring systems he ranks 8th among RBs heading into this week. He is only 7 total points behind the No. 5 RB, who just happens to be someone with serious durability issues (Stephen Davis) and only 9 points separates him from the No. 4 RB so far this season (Westbrook). Not to mention the RB ranked 7th (Thomas Jones) may not play this week and is no lock to keep his starting job. So it's quite possible McGahee will move up to 7th after this weekend and in the not-too-distant future he could move up even higher.
Moss at 10 then McGahee at 15Took him 11thand am loving every moment of it!
You just fall off the turnip truck?
I'm thinking the following RBs would probably deserve to go ahead of McGahee if we were drafting right now:1. LT2
That's the thing -- if you watch McGahee you can see he's so close to busting off a monster game. He hasn't had a multiple-TD game yet (he just missed last week) and he's had a lot of good runs called back by penalty (he had a couple of those today and a 54 yarder last week). He's been rock solid and very strong this season but watching him play I have a feeling he's going to explode in a huge way sometime real soon.
Colts have been relying on the running game pretty heavily this year and James has put up solid numbers in all 5 games. He clearly has a better surrounding cast, and I also think he has an easier remaining SOS.Would be tough to take Willis over James now, IMO.
great pick. My 1st round pick of Peyton isn't working out like I expected, but I still wound up with Tiki Barber and Rudi Johnson at RB so I can't complain.Took him #2 in a dynasty draft this offseason. Sorry Rude.
I agree, when you watch him run it doesn't look like he's moving all that fast, he just sort of glides like he's on a hover board to positive yardage.
Don't discount the fact that Willis was without Mike Williams and Villarial for parts of the year, coupled with Losman's shaky performances *cough* he is in line for more big games.
