Re: I need your expert FFB draft help.
[ QUOTE ]
I would appreciate any advice you FFB people could give me. I play in one league with people I would very much like to crush. I am 'dead money' in this 12 man league. So, here's what I have..... In a serpentine(up & down) draft, I have the #2 selection of where I want to be in that draft order. Do I take the #2 pick (if #1 is gone)? and Who's my #2 pick? #23? #26? Any other draft position theories? Thaks in advance to anyone who gives me any opinions. They are appreciated. [/ QUOTE ] How does scoring work in your league? If passing TD's are worth as much as rushing or receiving TD's, Manning is the easy #2. |

But what do you think that will leave me for #1 RB options when it gets around to me again? |

[/ QUOTE ] There will be a lot of good running backs left when you come back around in the second round. If you're drafting second, that leaves you with the 23rd pick, and then the 26th pick turning the corner in the 3rd round. Reasonably you could come back and take a running bck at both of those spots, and find many serviceable players there. For example, Curtis Martin, Tatum Bell, Steven Jackson, Bryan Westbrook, rookies such as Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams. If I'm you, I take Manning in the first round, fill my RB spots in the second and third, and then go for WR -- maybe a TE in the 4th or 5th if Gonzo or Gates are still there. |

Curtis Martin is much more than servicable.

Curtis Martin is much more than servicable. [/ QUOTE ] Agreed. I mentioned him only as a strong possibility to be around late in the second round. And let's not kid ourselves. Curtis Martin was a pleasant surpise for fantasy owners last year. Huge rebound after a couple of down years. I got him in the 4th round last year, and won it all with him. |
