    I got the 2nd pick today, I'd ususally always go RB here, but in this league QB's get 6 for TD's. All other scoring pretty standard.

    What's the call here?

    Brady's numbers WILL come down this year, AP's might not. Just some food for thought.

    I had this delima in the THIRD pick of my FF draft. WE did one point per reception, which i found out 5 min before the draft started and the guy in the #2 slot took Westbrook because of it. To say i wasnt prepared for PPR would be an understatement, i butched about 3 of my later round picks and didnt draft Reggie Bush who had 70 Receptions last year. To anwser your Question though i took AD over Brady.

    LT, Westy, AP in that order. If you take Brady you will be stuck with a shitty rb corp.

    AP is overrated, chester taylor is still going to get some carries. Id be very suprised if AP stays healthy all year long. If QB's get 6 points a td i'd take Brady. I think Westbrook could be a better pick as well, but he's got his own health issues.

    In a non points-per-reception league, do people still take Westbrook ahead of AP? What about Addai and Stephen Jackson? Im thinking:

    1. LT

    2. Westbrook

    3. Steven Jackson

    4. AP

    5. Addai

    for a non-PPR league.

    6 for tds?
    who had the most tds in the league last year/ever?
    hmm....so lets say he has only 2/3 or 3/4 of that this year?
    are these more than AP....also, how many games has Brady missed in his career? AP?
    who takes more hits? who takes harder hits?
    who is sharing time w/ another player at their poition?

    thoughts i would use if i were making this selection.

    I hope this is in reference to his fantasy ranking and not him as an actual football player. He is the most talented running back in the league and there is no question about that in my mind. He will put up monster numbers when on the field even if Minnesota's QB play continues to suck. But it's not a secret he never makes it through a whole season so I can understand being nervous about taking him very early. It will be tough for him to live up to the numbers you expect from a guy you take in the 2nd pick of the draft if he only plays 12 games but I still think he's worth it just for the fact that you have a really exciting guy on your team that you get to sweat every week. lol

    in a non-PPR league?? I could see those rankings being okay for a PPR league, but non-PPR, AP is probably still #2.

    6 for TD, even if Brady has a "down" year, I still think he's throwing 35-40 TDs. if you get PPR, it makes it tougher between westbrook and brady though

    Last year I took Adrian Peterson with the 2nd overall pick. What a laugh that was. And it turned out to be a pretty decent pick. lol
