Waldman had what I thought was an excellent RB sleeper article where the technique was to draft WRs, TEs, and QBs early and then focus on RBs starting in the mid rounds of the draft. I forced myself to use this technique throughout the draft and passed on some decent players, but in the end, I like how it turned out. I play in a 10 - Team PPR league and had to draft from the 8th slot. The league gives you standard points for receiving, rushing, and six points for TDs rushing, receiving, or passing. Here is my round by round picks with a bit of detail on what I was thinking.
1.08 - Andre Johnson - Had him targets since I figured out I was using Waldman's technique. Larry Fitz was already gone, but in a PPR league, I have Johnson ahead of him anyway. I passed on getting Mike Turner, which was VERY hard to do.
2.03 - Calvin Johnson - Passed on Gore who fell to me. Again very hard to do, but I'm sticking to my plan.
3.08 - Roddy White - Really high on him this year, and he was the best WR left.
4.03 - Kevin Smith, RB, Det. - I was gunning for Aaron Rodgers here, but team 9 prevented that from happening. That would have been a great start. KSmith is someone I'm very high on this year. I guess I could have gone for a TE, but at this point in the draft I was afraid of what would be available to me in round five. Overall though, I like the pick.
5.08 - Ray Rice - Again, a player I was targeting and a player I'm very high on.
6.03 - Matt Shaub - If it were not for the league allowing QBs 6 pts for TDs I would have went another direction, but I love Shaub this year... If he can stay healthy.
7.08 - Donald Brown - I am convinced this guy will be starting by week 7 or eight. He's that good.
8.03 - Felix Jones - Here's a guy I'm thinking I may have reached for. But from what I saw last year and some of the preseason this year, this guy is electric... Not sure what that will translate to?
9.08 - Lee Evans- I'm thinking TO's toe may linger on longer that most people think. Again, not sure about this pick, but I want to continue to load up on WRs.
10.03 - Jerricho Cotchery - #1 Wr on his team. Not sure why he was still available, but I scooped him up.
11.08 - Chris Henry - Love what I've seen and read about from this guy. He could be a major part of the Cinci offense this year. 8-10 TDs maybe?
12.03 - Owen Daniels - Need a TE and he was the best available. Not liking the fact that I now have three offensive players from the Texans, this offense should be decent this year if everyone remains healthy.
13.08 - David Garrard - Without a doubt the most underrated QB in fantasy football. Happy with this pick.
14.03 - Fred Jackson - Like the way this guy plays, and he seems to catch a lot of passes.
picks 15 and 16 were kicker and defense which to me is irrelevant right now.
So give me some opinions on how I turned out. I like my team, but my RB's are not very deep. The starting lineup requirements though are QB, RB, WR, TE, 4 FLEX, K, and D.
Thanks in advance.

This is a posting about an article I read from Waldman. Wanted to know what people thought about my team using a strategy article from a FBG staffer. If it needs to be moved so be it.
some people just don't get it
