My teammate wanted to take him at 3.02, but I didn't want to take on the risk of losing him mid-season because of his antics. We decided to go with Anquan as our number 1, TO was drafted next. 3.03.Its interesting that has value dropped so much over the last few weeks. Especially now that hes practicing again and the hamstring is ok. He could be a real steal in the third round.....
Got him in the third round two weeks ago. At that time it might have been early, but it seems like TO is making the effort to play. Now TO is a good pick in round three, and a decent late 2nd selection. Still risk involved, buy high reward potential.Its interesting that has value dropped so much over the last few weeks.

I think TO, more than probably any other player in fantasy football, is going to either win guys or lose guys their leagues this year.
Most likely, the people drafting TO will take him in the early 3rd - meaning they had a high 1st round pick, meaning they probably got one of LJ, SA, or LT2.
IF, and that's the usual IF, TO has a TO-like season, paired with one of the big 3 RBs AND either another great WR from the 2nd (say, a Moldin, or heaven to think, a Moss), that team should just be handed the championship.
Where TO goes in drafts right now is highly intriguing.
That's actually really the question when you're drafting from the #1 or #2 slots. You're going to get LJ or SA or LT2.And the 2/3 turn, there is a VERY good chance that you could take both Moss AND Owens if you want.14 Team NFFC Draft I got
TO at 2.14
Randy Moss at 3.1
combined with LT2 I could have one helluva team. Or it could explode!
TO has gone consistently at:2.12 area in 12 Team Money Drafts...

That's the Big Stones pick. That's a league ender. You could draft blind the rest of the way, and still be a devastating team.
OR, one or both those guys could implode, and your team will collapse right along.
BIG, BIG STONES pick.
I'm leaning strongly towards doing that if I can. It's scary, but you play to win, and if that tandem of Moss and Owens plays only 80% of their potential, along with SA or LT2, that's a scary, scary team.
I agree with this. Faced with this situation yesterday, I wussed out and took Moss and Dunn, only because I did not expect RBs to make it back. Given a "do over" I would take Moss/TO because both Thomas Jones and Benson made it back. In a 12 teamer, I would be ecstatic having LT, Bears starter, Moss, and TO as a start to my draft.That's actually really the question when you're drafting from the #1 or #2 slots.

unreal.love this question. he went end of 4th in my 14 team redraft league.
$200 cap?Not draft, but here's what I paid for TO and Moss (auction values):Moss $29TO $23Other WRs for comparison:SSmith $43Holt $43Chad $46
Yeah, I tend to be conservative too. But this year, with both Owens and Moss sliding well below their normal draft positions (some of which is justified), it just seems like a move that is too good to pass up.I agree with this.

You would think this is true, but I was in a draft this past weekend in a league run by my brother-in-law, and the guy drafting #1 had great picks in the first three rounds but then completely butchered the rest of them.League starts 1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE + 1RB/WR flex1.01 LT2.12 TO3.01 Moss4.12 Vick5.01 CrumplerBetween 5.01 and 6.12, the following RB went off the board: Gore, MBell, Lundy, CTaylor, Addai, TBell, Westbrook, FTaylor6.12 AGreen7.01 KennisonBetween 7.01 and 8.12, the following RB went off the board: DWilliams, Maroney, Henry, Rhodes, Norwood, Barlow8.12 Bledsoe9.01 LColes10.12 Wilford11.01 Cedric Houstonand so on......IF, and that's the usual IF, TO has a TO-like season, paired with one of the big 3 RBs AND either another great WR from the 2nd (say, a Moldin, or heaven to think, a Moss), that team should just be handed the championship.
Westbrook was around in the 4th round???This could be a great strategy if you go with 2 RBs at the 4-5 turn!!You would think this is true, but I was in a draft this past weekend in a league run by my brother-in-law, and the guy drafting #1 had great picks in the first three rounds but then completely butchered the rest of them.League starts 1QB/2RB/2WR/1TE + 1RB/WR flex1.01 LT2.12 TO3.01 Moss4.12 Vick5.01 CrumplerBetween 5.01 and 6.12, the following RB went off the board: Gore, MBell, Lundy, CTaylor, Addai, TBell, Westbrook, FTaylor6.12 AGreen7.01 KennisonBetween 7.01 and 8.12, the following RB went off the board: DWilliams, Maroney, Henry, Rhodes, Norwood, Barlow8.12 Bledsoe9.01 LColes10.12 Wilford11.01 Cedric Houstonand so on......IF, and that's the usual IF, TO has a TO-like season, paired with one of the big 3 RBs AND either another great WR from the 2nd (say, a Moldin, or heaven to think, a Moss), that team should just be handed the championship.
I may be off base but I would take Gates before any receiver too. WW is full of one week WR pickups who can get 5-60-1. Not so at TE. Gates gets you WR numbers at TE.3.6 in my TD-heavy league. But it's based in Philly and most owners are Eagles fans and thus TO haters. WR order went Fitz, Smith, Holt, Chad, Harrison, R. Moss, Boldin, TO.Gates was taken before any WR.(We have the option of starting more than one TE.)
Exactly correct. And I didn't have the stones to do it... Took TO at 2.11 (I actually wanted to take Boldin, but my partner wanted to swing for the fences with TO). Moss was available at 3.02, but we just couldn't pull the trigger (our draft also took place during the preseason when Brooks' rubber arm was actually looking more like silly putty, so Moss looked risky on multiple fronts (injury risk and Brooks suckitude). So instead the core is LJ, TO, Chambers...That's actually really the question when you're drafting from the #1 or #2 slots. You're going to get LJ or SA or LT2.
And the 2/3 turn, there is a VERY good chance that you could take both Moss AND Owens if you want.

I don't think Chambers instead of Moss is too bad. My only real hesitation with both Moss and TO is that both are such volatile players. It seems like it makes more sense to pair either Moss or Owens with a more reliable WR like a Boldin or a Harrison if you can.toxic said:Exactly correct. And I didn't have the stones to do it...
