I just figured, he'll probably put up more week in and week out than what any of the available pure RB's would. And a 2nd RB was easily the #1 area that I wanted to address, so why not.

Lol I almost took Leon with my 1st pick, leagues with return yards he's golden, PPR too, he will easily be one of the top scorers, great pick.

I don't know why, Stewart>McFadden any format, just watch...You made the better selection, short term or long term.

It's interesting.. because Stewart runs behind a better OL by far and will get the goallines, but he's injury prone and he'll have to split with DeAngelo who isn't going anywhere. DMAC is so explosive, but his OL sucks and many already feel he's undersized with his chicken leg build. Michael Bush could also be the guy that gets goalines... so... Right now, I'd say it's a toss up.

I doubt Fargas or Bush are going anywhere either, McFadden just seems like an explosive 3rd down back, a few big games but nothing consistent...Stewart seems like a guy who is going to get 25 carries and all his goal line looks, with Deangelo spelling on passing downs and 10 or so carries here and there...Stewart has a great blend of size/power/speed that is going to make him a great inside and outside runner...He has weapons to open things up downfield, he just looks like a stud, I jumped all over him in dynasty leagues...He will be a 1st rd pick in redrafts next year.

I'm not sure why there are 3 possible RB spots with 20 teams in the league. That's not just every starter, but almost every single backup RB in the league.
And that's not even including bench players. If this was a 12 team league it would make a lot more sense.

Correction: There are two RB slots, two WR slots, and a Flex.
Nothing requires you to have 3 RB's. It's not too difficult to go 50 deep at WR and RB.
This is a league where most, if not all, useful Fantasy players should be owned.

I asked for comments on this when we were making the decisions. I was really REALLY on the fence with it.
Unfortunately, your time to comment on that subject matter has passed. I'd be lying if I didn't say a little more activity/participation from you would be more appreciated.
It's too late to change it now.

Useless? You're telling me that Joey Harrington is useless?

Hence why I said "possible".

Yes, and the final players of the top 100 projected WR/RBs include such amazing talents as Shaun McDonald, Kenny Watson and Robert Meachem.

I would argue that all of those players are very useful. Nothing wrong with having them start.
And as I said before, there are more useful guys for this league than traditional leagues due to kick return stats. More guys become usable.
