I'm picking 6th in a 16 team league. Here are my top 6 as of right now.

Peterson
J Charles
A Foster
R Rice
CJ2K
L McCoy

I really can't figure out who to put at the 6th. McFadden? McCoy? Turner? After the top 5 should I be looking at a #1 WR or even one of the top QBs?

TheBoyWonder22 · 08-18-2011, 10:45 AM

Just finished a draft where I got CJ and AD. Just traded CJ for Arian Foster (he's a Titan's fan)

sbh15 · 08-18-2011, 10:50 AM

if anyone is looking for a pay + keeper league and haven't seen it yet, http://draftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48389

also, @killxswitch, i'd rank them
adrian peterson
chris johnson
arian foster
lesean mccoy
ray rice
jamaal charles

mcfadden and turner are too risky of bets when you're guaranteed one of the above

I like Freeman over Bradford. Why QB, though? Starting 2; no faith in Stafford; something else?

Tough one. Format makes all the difference for this one - scoring, starting lineup, # of teams, other potential keepers? I'd always lean toward keeping the RBs & WRs since there will always be 10-12 reliable QBs to start.

16 team redraft, I'd be sticking with the RBs early in round 1.
AP / Foster / CJ* / Rice / McCoy / Charles then Mendy & Turner in the order you like best.

That's about the time to look at WRs IMO, 7th. McCoy def. in there IF it is a PPR league (scoring helps!)

It is PPR and passing TDs are worth 6. Given that I won't pick again in that draft for another 21 picks I wonder if I should get a QB like Vick or Rogers or even (barf) Brady that can carry my team week-to-week.

Never take a rd. 1 QB in ppr formats, even with 6pt TDs.

In PPR, I'm with Bond. Pick 7 is WR time. DMC just isn't reliable enough & Mendy/Turner both take a significant hit in PPR.

No, no, no. QB is very deep this year. Keep your list.

killxswitch · 08-18-2011, 12:49 PM

I am picking 6th, not 7th, sorry if that wasn't clear.

So you guys think that with a top 6 of AP/JCharles/Foster/CJ2K/Rice/McCoy I should get a guy worthy of the #6 overall pick? I am a little leary of Rice and McCoy, will their receptions stay high?

It was clear.

Rice is a ppr machine. The only thing stopping him would be injury.

McCoy is too good to pass up for a WR, especially given the potential scoring threat the Eagles offense will be on every possession.

PPR with 16 teams - there's no way I'd put anyone above those 6 RBs.

Is there a reason people are loving LeSean McCoy this year?

He is in the perfect situation to have a break out year.

FlyingElvis · 08-18-2011, 02:56 PM

He should have another 1500 yard (combined) / 60+ reception / 10 TD year.

He has improved each year and looks like an elite back to me. I'd be more than happy to sit at 6 /7 / 8 and watch others let him fall to me, while having a good shot at an elite WR in the second.

Hines · 08-19-2011, 12:15 PM

I just got offered this trade. I get Danny Amendola and they get Marshawn Lynch. It's a PPR league. My other WRs are Greg Jennings, Sidney Rice, Mike Thomas, Greg Little, James Jones. My RBs are AP, Bradshaw, Hightower, Delone Carter. Should I do it? I'm leaning towards no because I'm not sure where Amendola is going to fit in the offense with the WRs St Louis brought in.

Amendola was a PPR fiend last year but like you said I'm not sure he will get the same looks this year. However I'd say you are better set up at RB than you are at WR so that is something to keep in mind.

I'd lean towards no. For a few reasons. 1. Lynch is going to be the #1 back and will see at least 60-70% of the Snaps. With Mike Sims-Walker going to St. Louis Amendola will lose catches plus Bradford has a real TE now as well so I expect Danny Amendola to get dwindling returns the upcoming season. Besides Your WRs are good better than your RBs. Mike Thomas is going to see more looks on the Jags Greg Little is going to do well in Cleveland lets not forget Greg Jennings who is studly.

AP and Bradshaw are 2 #1 RBs. Jennings is the only #1 WR on his roster. I agree he should probably keep Beast but I don't agree that his WRs are that strong.

Stafford isn't exactly reliable. I think it's a damn good idea to have Freeman or Bradford on the bench just in case.

Understandable, but I feel like the 3rd overall pick is not the place to select Freeman b/c of Stafford's health concerns. Stafford / Freeman are pretty close in ADP as the final starters coming off the board (QB10 - QB14, depending on the site you cite) and we're discussing using the 3rd overall pick on him. Madness. Even in a 14 team league (not sure how many in APS's league) with 4 keepers per team (presumably) that means there are at least 10 QBs being held, therefore less demand for the last few. There's just no way I can fathom Freeman being the best pick available.

Well yeah, I don't know the whole situation, but that is the logical reason I came up with. I probably would not go QB there either.

FlyingElvis · 08-19-2011, 01:42 PM

I hear ya. I love Freeman this year, and plan to keep him in 2 leagues (assuming P-L is alive and his keeper league plays again this year. P-L, are you out there?)

Just trying to dig a little deeper. That seemed like a strange choice at 1.3 in any format.

gpngc · 08-19-2011, 02:24 PM

Hines do that. Lynch might score 6 TDs. And you won't be starting him for any because you'll be frustrated he'll never get yards so you won't start him. Also, Amendola could end up as your second WR on that squad (Rice, Thomas are question marks, James Jones will be inconsistent and Greg Little isn't going to crack 40 catches - he's the #5 WR there right now).

Isn't Mike Thomas going to be the #1 now? I'd imagine Rice will be the #1 WR in Seattle. Of course I guess it depends what you mean by #1 WR neither of those are #1 fantasy WRs .
