Obvs we know the top 4 are way ahead so i think the #5 is the worst pick..

WWYD with #5..

Do i grab mendenhal (sp?) and gamble? Take Andre Johnson?

This is a PPR league, 12 team... thanks

[DetUcf]

CJ, MJD, AP, X?


Its important to know who you believe X is to be, as well as scoring QB wise

[Blackout4]

Is this league I am in too? If so, what pick do I got?

[mattymofatty]

If MJD or Ray Rice somehow fall to you, def take them. If not, I think Andre Johnson is your bet. I would 100% take A. Johnson over Mendenhall in a PPR leage all day every day

[DetUcf]

regardless, mendenhall nor andre are the pick here imo. I think its either Rice or Gore, whichever fall to you

keep in mind i havnt really studied yet this yr tho, so thats just my initial read

Yeah, this. After Rice, all the RB's can all be sort of grouped together and there's not a monstrous difference b/t the next 6 or 7 of them. Just pick up one of them in Round 2. I mean Gore is better than the rest of the pack, I just think you get more value out of Johnson, especially with the Texans pass heavy offense and ?'s surrounding the health of Owen Daniels.

[MookMonster]

the top 4, i think, are CJ-MJD-AP-RAY RICE...

QB scoring is the normal...4 pts td, 25 yrs=1 pt.

John- This is not the league u are in..

I am leaning towards AJ-- How about Gore or Jackson?

[MilBestDrnkr]

AP/CJ/MJD/RR .... Turner obv.

Since it's a PPR league, Ray Rice should probably be #3...but I would assume that's who he's thinking will go 4th.

That is a tough spot...Andre Johnson is always a pretty sure bet. Schaub was 3rd in passing attempts and led the league in yards last year...their running game isn't very good. He'll get targeted a ton. Johnson led the league in targets last year. Edited By: JRoth15 Aug 9th, 2010 at 06:39 PM

ive been in the jackson camp for a few years now, and am finally going away. hes just not a top top pick right now due to a terrible oline and no help on offense. I rly rly like Gore tho

I think with Turner's schedule, he should definitely have a huge year.

I wouldn't mind him at 5, but Johnson is basically a sure thing.

[MookMonster]

Thanks for the input everyone..I think this is a tough spot but you g2 think AJ is way ahead in the top WR esp. with the ? about the ari. team and QB...
i also have the 20th pick, so i can go RB then

[Pinger]

I think you will be picking between Turner/Rice/Gore and that's exactly how I would rank them.

Edit: Mendenhall is def not the answer, every mock I have done he goes in 2nd round. Edited By: Pinger Aug 9th, 2010 at 06:44 PM

Rice will be gone in a PPR league if the league is somewhat competitive.

I always assume it's standard, missed the PPR mention. In that case, I don't mind Andre over Turner .... but I really like Turner this year.

I do too...I have pick #7 in one of my leagues coming up, and I'm praying he'll fall to me there.

If not, I'm going Aaron Rodgers (6 pts for passing TDs and 5 point bonus for 300+ yards) and loving it.

[jetsjets1028]

Even though Turner has a great schedule and Gore is a stud, Andre is the clear pick in PPR. You are much better off grabbing the top WR in your spot instead of trying to guess which 2nd tier RB will be worthy of the pick. Just ask all of the Forte owners from a year ago. Your scoring system rules out taking a QB but I dont think getting Andre at 5 is such a terrible place to be.

You may even get a shot at Mendenhall with your 2nd rounder. He has been slipping of late (rightfully so).

disagree...in PPR you take Rice in about 2.5 seconds...he wont be there though....if its a choice between Rice and Andre somehow I think you go with Rice, but to me it isnt a slam dunk

[wackyJaxon Admin X]

We will be consolidating all threads this year relating to Fantasy Football team instead of having many threads about rate my team, or is this trade good, or who should I draft ,or who should I start, etc. Threads for individual leagues running is fine, this is just for the general types of questions.

[MookMonster]

i dont like the idea to consolidating them, just IMO...

I was a forte owner last year, lol..

Based on last years results only......yes. But taking into account Flacco's shiny new toy in the passing game (Boldin) and Turner's schedule that's where I got em. My opinion for what it's worth.

[zander anomaly in his crotch]

I love Andre Johnson. That said, if you don't take an RB in round one of a fantasy draft, you're playing catchup the whole time, especially since you want at least 3 starting RBs on your team and the good ones go quickly.

If you're in a league with idiots and Ray Rice is still there, windmill slam. If not, suck it up and take Frank Gore so that you aren't sitting there hoping that Ricky Williams and Montario Hardesty carry you to the gold.

If you do take Johnson, your goal is Ryan Grant on the backswing, maybe Jamaal Charles, but you pretty much commit yourself to having to go RB RB for the next two picks and it's going to be slim pickins really quickly.

Sorry mook but its not possible to make everyone happy. This was also the procedure last season and it made for a much cleaner forum.

[MookMonster]

my format is 4 starters on rb wr...it can be WR WR WR RB, so does that play into my decision..

From mocks, i think i can take- AJ and come back with megatron or rodddy and still grab a decent rb in Round 3??

[Nickc011 The Law]

Thought this was interesting, from matthew berrys column on ESPN:

"Last season, this running back had a career low in average yards per carry and almost 400 fewer rushing yards than he did in 2008. He lost yardage on 70 plays and was stuffed for the second-most times in his career. His team's offense is changing, as it passed the ball over 100 times more in 2009 than it did in 2008. And that's bad news, as this player failed to score a receiving touchdown for the second straight year.
His fumbles have gone up every year he's been in the league, and people are starting to notice, as his average draft position has already dropped from what it was at this time last year. His rushes of 20-plus yards dropped by 60 percent in 2009, and after having 10 100-yard rushing games in 2008, he had only three last season. You have to wonder if his team is losing confidence in him. He had 49 fewer carries last year than the year before, and after his team drafted a high-profile rookie running back in April, it appears the writing is on the wall for this player."

1. Last season, only seven running backs had more individual rushes of 20-plus yards than Michael Turner.
AP Photo/Kathy WillensFact: If you mash their name and their stats together, Jacheal Turling rushed for 1,484 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2009.

2. Discounting Week 15, when he had only one carry, Turner played in only 10 games in 2009.
3. Jason Snelling actually had six individual rushes of 20-plus yards last season.
4. It's not exactly the same, but it's worth noting that if you combined Turner and Snelling's individual rushes of 20-plus yards, you'd get 15, more than anyone in the NFL last season other than Chris Johnson.

Just to clarify, you dont have WR or RB positions, but RB/WR positions only?

[Mike Kowal]

Once the 4 MAIN RBs are gone as previously mentioned ... I personally think 5 is no brainer Andre Johnson and I don't think anyone could convince me otherwise ... I'd be taking him expecting 100-115 catches, 1550-1750 Rec Yds and 10 TDS (101 catches, almost 1600 yds and 9 TDs last year) ... They want to get him even more involved this year as the O Coordinator says they have over 20 plays just for him (I know this is the norm in a lot of systems, just sayin)

Only other place I'm going is Gore ... Gore would be my 6th overall pick. Guy had 9 TDs and xxxx Yards last year while missing 3 games+ and Stayley was out 7 games and they beefed up the line even more ... Expecting a big year from Gore.

[MookMonster]

its not wR/rb its u must start 1 RB, 1 WR, then RB/WR- RB-WR

if one of the top 4 RB are on the board, do u take them everytime over AJ?

[Leet8s usausausausausa]

Doubt I give you guys fantasy advice ;-)

[MookMonster]

lol

[dank773]

Last night I had my first ever fantasy auction. I have no idea how I did. It's a 12 man, $200 cap.

Schaub 23
Palmer 2

B Wells 26
L McCoy 24
R Williams 12
J Harrison 8
T Jones 4
C Taylor 4
C Williams 3

De Jackson 30
R White 30
Sims-walker 15
R Meachem 4

V Davis 11

Ravens 1

Hartley 2


How'd I do? I think I overpaid for Williams and sims-walker.
